:( my poor camera

So since I now have Reagan, I have an entirely new appreciation for camera's and pictures. I take so many pictures daily of this child, its unbelievable. Sometimes its a little crazy/overboard but I want to look back, and her look back one day and see how she had such a fun childhood, and remember all those things that Darren says she's too "little" to remember now, but are important to me, like the zoo, first time swimming, visiting the botanical gardens, birthday, ect...you know. I had a little point and shoot until Reagan was about 6 months, and I could NEVER get a picture when she was actually smiling or whatever cute I thought she was doing, so I decided I needed a DSLR, and quick. I begged for DAYS for this camera. It was my mothers day/birthday/christmas/everything present for the next year. So after a few trips to best buy and some online research, Darren gave in, and I was one happy girl, and proud new owner of a Canon Rebel T1i. About a month ago (at her first birthday party actually) my beloved Canon rebel started acting a little strange. A couple pictures came out with squiggly lines in them, right through peoples faces in some of the pictures, but never the same area, it was sometimes vertically through the person, sometimes horizontal. No rhyme or reason, just plain annoying. After that day, it stopped and had only happened to about 5 out of the 100+ pictures. Over time I thought maybe it was just the setting, lighting ect. It got better, well fast forward to this weekend, and our trip to the botanical gardens/friends birthday, and it did it to about 20 of 30 pictures, all of the sudden I AM SO MAD. I marched right up to Best Buy, and we are now waiting 2-4 weeks for this to be shipped to Canon and fixed. Yes I am thankful it can be fixed and that its still in warranty, although I did purchase the extended one as well, but this is like an eternity without my camera. I even got a little frustrated with the geek squad because they couldn't expedite my camera to canon, and send it overnight, they have to send ground. So it will take 2-4 weeks, AKA 6-8 weeks for me to get it back. I also learn that this has happened to this very geek quad guy, at our best buy about 5 times out of the last 100 cameras sold. Thats A LOT if you ask me. I would say there is a glitch somewhere. So while I patiently wait, I will have to go back to the point and shoot for now, and Iam not a happy camper about it. Iam off to do some googling to see if this has happened to anyone else......and if so what it was and if it was a reoccurring issue. I really hope not. I posted some pictures below of what it was doing, wouldn't this make you so angry?!!!

Who is this big kid?!

I really have been terrible about updating the blog, or actually at all. I try to keep up with a few people's that I read, but just never seem to update mine. I did find a super cute blog tonight, and actually posted a comment for the first time to order something. I feel like a craz-o stalker kind of but, I guess I should actually start posting so people don't just feel like Iam a phantom stalker blogger. :) Miss Reagan Kinley is into EVERYthing! She is on the go non stop, and I love every bit of her to pieces. I seriously do not know what I did before her. She melts my heart. We played in the pool today, and then went to a friends birthday party out in the boonies. It was so beautiful out there! I will attempt to post a few pics of miss Reagan now, lets hope I can remember how. Iam making a vow to myself starting tonight to try to post at least once a week. We'll see.

terrible....

This is terrible, I have not posted on this since right before I left for maternity leave. 9 weeks later here Iam back at work. AND my little baby is already 9 weeks old tomorrow! :( She is growing like a weed too. hard to believe. Today is my first day without her, and I will tell you it is NOT easy. I miss her soooo much. I keep looking at the clock thinking when did she eat last, is it time for her nap ect....and Im not even with her. I did manage to only call Stacie (our babysitter) only once so far today. Reagan was doing well, sleeping. If only money grew on trees, and I didnt have to work and could stay home with her. :) She is such a beautiful happy little baby and we are so blessed and thankful.

We have a date!

Reagan Kinley Davidson is set to make her arrival on July 8th, 2009 at 10AM! :) We are scheduled for a c-section because she is a breech baby. Iam so excited/nervous now that I know when she will be here! Before it was like oh I have time to do this, or should I do this or wait, now I know I have 2 weeks!! My last day at work will be July 2nd. We are off the 3rd for the holiday, and Iam taking off the 6th and 7th to get ready for Reagan's arrival! Mom and Dad (MiMi and Papaw) and Leigh and Gwenda (GiGi and Papa) will be here on the 6th. AND Of course I have doctor appointments both days, but I will still have time to get things in order for her! I cannot wait to meet our precious baby girl, and hold her in my arms! This is IT! The count down is really ON now! 16 days and counting! Please say a prayer for us!

Oh and also we had to buy a new camera yesterday! YAY for a new camera but boo for why we had to buy it, lets just say Darren dropped it on Saturday, we were at a friends wedding, we took 1 picture (wich is ok with me considering I would like to avoid the camera if possible considering Iam 9 months pregnant) But we got a new one and I love it. :) Its a little bigger than my old one but we have more mega pixels, and a much better zoom, and I think the picture quality is much better, we have been faithful sony buyers with just about everything, but this time went with Canon, for one the sony is just so expensive and the way we go through camera's....we will just say this was a much better option.

Stubborn baby, already like her Daddy. :)

Well Miss Reagan is a breech baby! She is what they call a "frank breech" her little booty is nestled in my pelvic bone, her head it up towards my rib cage and her feet are sticking straight up. :) I have had the suspicion for a while now, due to never getting the rib kicks everyone talks about, and I can usually breathe pretty easy and don't feel like she is way up in my lungs, or maybe I just have that motherly instinct already?! Anyway, we go to the doctor on Monday to discuss our options, but I have a hunch we are going to be scheduling a c-section. Like I said I have been thinking about this for a few weeks, so I have had time to wrap my head around the whole c-section thing, but it would be ok with me if she flipped over too. OH and she is going to be a little chubby monkey, already estimated at over 7lbs! I have 3 1/2 more weeks until Iam actually due to have her! We have been measuring ahead the whole time but never changed my due date, I think we are just off a week, and I really should be 38 weeks on Monday not 37.

The above picture is of my sweet loves face it's a little blurry but she was moving so its hard when you take the still picture, she was making a kissy face with her lips at us and was also playing with her toes, grabbing them with her little hands. The sweet ultrasound tech wrote a message on the picture for Darren, his first fathers day is this weekend! I loved her she was too sweet, and took her time letting us see all of Reagan we wanted!

Tomorrow is Friday, come on MONDAY talk about being anxious all weekend! That will be us.

At least we have a friends wedding this weekend so it will be fun!! :)

New bag for Miss Priss

She is already like her Mama, more bags than she knows what to do with, and she isn't even here yet! I ordered the one in the picture above for her today, of course hers will say Reagan. It will be perfect for those little trips we don't need her BIG bag for. :) I can't wait to get it.

Also we go to the doctor on Monday to find out is she is still breech, and schedule out ultrasound. AND hopefully we will have started to dilate as well. :) Keep your firngers crossed for me.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
