G's Shabby Chic Butterfly Bedroom
Due to popular demand, I give you pictures of Genevieve's nursery.
 |
| My favorite parts of the room are the butterfly mobile and the super cool wooden Genevieve letters from Uncle James and Aunt Carolyn. |
 |
| Still searching for a pretty white crib skirt. Then the room will be complete. |
 |
| Many hours have already been spent in this glider. So glad it's comfy (thanks again, Carrie!!!). |

What a Difference a Month Makes
I'm sitting here with my baby GIRL on my chest as she sleeps away the evening (there's nothing better than a newborn baby sleeping peacefully on your chest). I've been meaning to update my blog but my days (and nights) have been filled with feeding Genevieve, feeding Genevieve, and feeding Genevieve. Seriously, this girl can eat! G will be 4 weeks old tomorrow - hard to believe, I know. Here's a look back at how little Miss G came to be...
Tuesday, June 7
7:30 am - start noticing contractions as I'm getting ready for work
8:30 am - arrive at work, contractions varying from 5 minutes apart to 15 minutes apart
Contractions continue throughout the morning
1:30 pm - go to my weekly checkup. The doctor says I'm most likely experiencing early labor...yahoo!
Contractions continue to get stronger forcing me to leave work an hour early. I would not recommend driving home in rush-hour traffic in Phoenix while in labor...probably not the smartest decision.
9:30 pm - contractions are strong enough to where they HURT now. Oh Lordy, here we go!
11:30 pm - Jonathan and I take the dogs for one last pre-baby walk around the neighborhood to help speed things along with my contractions.
Wednesday, June 8 - my due date
Midnight - contractions are consistently 5 minutes apart. Time to call the doctor! So excited - this is it!!!
1:00 am - arrive at the hospital after the longest 20 minute car ride of my life. Contractions are really close together and painful now.
7:30 am - we move to the labor and delivery room and I finally get my epidural after laboring for 6 1/2 hours in the triage room.
THANK GOD FOR EPIDURALS.
12:20 pm - time to push!
12:51 pm - it's a girl!?!?! We were surprised but overjoyed to meet our beautiful, healthy baby girl, Genevieve Leona Rouse. Giving birth to her was the most incredible experience of our lives, and we are beyond blessed to be parents to this sweet, sweet baby girl.
[Turns out the deli man was wrong.]
About G's name: Genevieve was chosen by Jonathan and eventually grew on me until I too loved it. Leona is my great grandmother's name. We usually call her Genevieve or G for short. We'll be traveling to Nebraska for Genevieve's baptism the weekend of July 16-17 and hope to see as many of our family and friends as possible.
