I want YOU in Maggie's book

So I'm starting on my Maggie book soon. I'll be working on it on Picnik and Shutterfly.

I saw the cutest thing....and was thinking maybe I could get something similar going for Maggie's book.

The link goes to a page that shows some ADORABLE pics. I can't really explain it, just go check it out!

Anywho, so like I said, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do something similar for the book.

Make one and send it to me! You can be in Maggie's book! I would love this because it would be a permanent reminder of the people who have been with me supporting me on this journey.

You can e-mail me Kelli_Mears@hotmail.com

It's Spring

It feels like time has flown by.....it's been nearly 2 months. So much has happened....

Michelle finished my pictures....they're beyond amazing. Here's one, I'll post the big slide show later.


I forgot just how tiny she really was....she seemed so big and heavy to me!

I've been keeping very busy lately. Just moved halfway across the country. Currently looking for a new job. And reading whenever possible.

To those who have sent me books -- thank you. thank you. I didn't realize how much I needed them. They all have a slightly different perspective, which has helped more than I even knew.

It is springtime. Flowers are growing. The icky brown grass of winter has been replaced by soft fresh green grass. There are budding leaves on the trees. I wish I could show her. Sometimes it makes my heart ache; to know I'll never play in the park with her, I'll never buy her a new spring dress, take her to the zoo.

BabyCenter says I should be 36 weeks now....this idea is so strange to me that it seems foreign.

Just wanted to give y'all and update. I'm still here. Trying to settle into this new life. This new normal.

Love to you all. I wish I could hug you and tell you how much you mean to me. Each and everyone one of you.

I can't help it...

I'm a mom. I can't help but show off pictures of my beautiful daughter. Here's the birth announcement that Michelle made for us.

get your kleenex ready...

Michelle (my Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photographer) is seriously amazing. Here's a slide show she made with a few of my maternity photos.

Also, here's another pic of my darling Magdalyn. Michelle is still working on the images from the hospital, but she always seems to know when I'm needing to see my baby girl and another picture will be right there waiting in my inbox.

I am so so SO very grateful to her and for the work of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.
