3-Month pictures

at 09/02/10 10:02AM

As you can see from my Baby Ticker, Lydia is over three months old now. I'm enjoying every minute of being a mother! It's been incredible:) She has been an absolute angel!

Here's some recent pictures. We took Lydia to JCPenny's for her 3-month pictures.

In other news, I just celebrated my 26th birthday. Dan jokes and says that I'm now on the wrong side of 20, although he can't talk too much, because he'll be hitting 30 next year:) My mother-in-law made me and my father-in-law a special birthday meal consisting of filet mignon, roasted rosemary potatoes, wedge salad, and strawberry cheesecake. Yum Yum!

I've started my online teaching again. It hasn't been too much work. I can get everything done during one of Lydia's naps during the day. I'm blessed to be able to have this opportunity that I can do from work. It's humbling and exciting to meet students from all walks of life, from all areas from around the globe.

Anyway, have a great Labor Day weekend, everyone:)

These pics are the best! She really is adorable.

Awe, the pictures are so cute!!!! :) All these babies make me so sentimental for my own little Emerson to come. Sounds like you guys had a delicious birthday meal! :) If I am able to quit working full time (which is my hope), I may look into something part time from home also... not sure yet what all the options are, but I'm kinda waiting to see what our financial status is going to look like once Jesse's retirement kicks in....

Your birthday meal sounds really yummy!!! :)

2 Months Old

at 07/21/10 4:22PM *

Lydia is two months old today! It's amazing that it's only been 2 months. It seems like she's always been in our lives. She is a true blessing from God and an incredible little person. I love being Lydia's mother and Dan's wife. God is so good.

Here is a slideshow of Month #2. We go for her checkup tomorrow and I can't wait to see how much she's grown!

Too cute! :)

I really like that picture of her smirking (like she knows something we don't know). I totally understand how you feel! It's so fun to watch them grow. They're a lot of work, but soooo worth it. And wonderful husbands are wonderful help. ;-) She's so beautiful. :-)

by smallfry79 at 07/21/10 9:31PM
Oh, when I saw your name lit up on pleo I was really hoping you had pics to share. They are great and she looks just perfect!

by iloveponds at 07/21/10 10:06PM
what a wonderful blessing!!! :)

by windham4life at 07/21/10 10:19PM
Very sweet!

by blueeyes at 07/22/10 9:03AM
She is SO adorable!

by kalawi at 07/22/10 9:13AM
She's so beautiful, it was good to meet her this past weekend. Enjoy her and good luck at the doctor's office. (I hate the shots part)

by millie at 07/22/10 11:08AM
Great pictures!

by dirk at 07/22/10 11:34AM
Great pictures! I haven't seen some of them before now. Have a great trip this weekend :) I'll miss you (:

by misslynn at 07/22/10 1:43PM
Thanks! :- )

by kendralulu at 08/02/10 11:05PM
Yeah, it's a big one of mine, too, but mostly it makes me laugh because it can be quite funny when used out of context like that. Facebook is the worst for finding blunders like that! Now, I am not a naturally wonderful speller, so you might find spelling errors that bring you laughs in my posts, but usually, I do well with grammar usage.

by kaceyatthebat at 08/17/10 2:12PM
That would be Dr. and Mrs. Bob Parker. They are wonderful leaders for our congregation. I knew they were out of town, but I thought they were somewhere in the Hill Country. Glad you got to meet them.

by iloveponds at 08/17/10 9:41PM
Thank you. They grow up too fast! :)

Lydia Lane Harbin has arrived...

at 05/30/10 9:22PM

Little Lydia Lane made her debut on May 21st at 11:14 a.m. She weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces and measured 18 inches in length (although the pediatrician measured her at 19 inches).

She is SO precious! She has been home with us over a week now and I can't imagine life without her. She's been such a good baby and we feel like our little family is extra complete:)

Here are some pictures!

Precious Baby

So Innocent!

My Two favorite people

Our Little Burrito

Snuggling with Mommy

Shes so beautiful, congratulations to you both. Enjoy all the snuggling and cute noises they make. If you have any newborn questions I can try to help you... just letting you know I'm here if you need anything, even though I'm kinda far away.

Thanks! We always go to Northwest because that's where the Ruckels all go (and the McGees, too) so when we visit them, we tag along.

by kaceyatthebat at 06/03/10 3:34PM
Melissa, do you need any formula, or know anyone that does?

by millie at 06/12/10 10:13AM

May 21st it is!!!

at 05/20/10 9:16AM

It looks like Jana and Lynn were the closest, but we'll actually be having our little girl Lydia Lane this Friday, May 21st!

I'm going into the hospital tonight at 8pm and they'll start the induction tomorrow morning (Friday). After the doctor's initial "We're going to induce in 2 days" statement yesterday, the shock is wearing off and we're getting really excited!

Please keep us in your prayers. We'll post updates and/or pics in the coming week!

Love,
Melissa

We'll be thinking about you! Can't wait to see some pictures!!! Hugs!

by ewalker at 05/20/10 9:32AM
Yay! Wasn't it crazy when the doctor told you that? It's like, this is REALLY happening! ha :)

by bekahv at 05/20/10 10:52AM
very exciting...oh i remember so well heading to the hospital the night before being induced (with both emma and ethan)....experiences you just never will forget!! and i dont mean in a bad way. praying for everything to go as smoothly as possible.

by janarrod at 05/20/10 11:20AM

Rest up tonight (if that's possible) & relax. Hope everything goes well & can't wait to see pics!!!...excited :-)

by windham4life at 05/28/10 3:28PM

9 days and counting...

at 05/17/10 3:25PM

Thank you all for your hospital bag suggestions. I've now got the bag packed, so Miss Lydia can come when she's ready!

I can't believe my due date is in 9 days. Just about daily, Dan and I turn to each other and say, "Can you believe we're going to have a baby in ___ days?" It doesn't quite seem real (and it probably won't until we bring her home).

It's been so nice having the last couple of weeks off before she makes her debut. I'm still working on the nursery, finishing up Thank You cards, and we still need to install the car seat, but I'm just about at the point where I'm thinking, "Okay, she can come now. everything's ready" :)

[As I'm typing this, Lydia has the hiccups:-]

While her official due date is May 26th, Dan thinks she'll come on May 29th. I think she'll be a June baby. Any guesses out there??

More soon...

Oh I am SO excited for you guys! You are both going to be the best parents little Lydia could ask for! I've never been good at guessing due dates, but I'm going to say June 2nd. :)

by kalawi at 05/17/10 4:24PM
i am going to throw out May 27th.

by pistal77 at 05/17/10 6:01PM
I can't wait to meet her!!!! It is so hard to believe that she will be here in the next week or so.

by bek at 05/17/10 7:07PM
We're so excited for yall!!! :) :) :)

by kendralulu at 05/17/10 9:07PM
wow, so soon! I'm so glad I got to visit with all you girls. Next time I see you, Lydia will probably be here! I am going to guess May 31. :) You never know, could be a June baby!! (For some reason I am thinking she will be here between May 31-June 2).

by windham4life at 05/17/10 9:36PM
Nov 28 jk.... haha May 28th

by v2indahouse at 05/17/10 11:26PM
hmm...i'll go early say she's coming May 24th!! Either way I cant believe it's coming up so soon!! Cant wait to see your new little girl. Exciting times!!

by janarrod at 05/18/10 9:32AM
Ha Jana! I guessed the 24th too! Wouldn't it be funny if we were right!

by misslynn at 05/18/10 1:33PM
Everyone thought E would be early, but she came right on the due date, so who knows. Good luck.

by millie at 05/18/10 6:12PM
Since my b/day is the 25th, I holding out for that day!

by iloveponds at 05/18/10 10:23PM
I will say....may 27th. Can't wait!

by juliehud at 05/18/10 10:59PM
oooooo exciting!

by adeline at 05/19/10 5:47PM
Praying for you all!

by blueeyes at 05/19/10 9:52PM
Love yall!! :)
