Back to the states at 3 months old say what!!!

Well I have been rather busy running around with the munchkin and have been super slack about the blog so trying to make up some time. Let's see Madison turned 3 months just before we took the leap back to the states. She did amazing on the flight I was so nervous but she was a dream. Loved watching all the people while in her plane bassinet and although she only slept 3 hours on a 9.5 hour flight she was not fussy, I am blessed :) She was a hit at Thanksgiving and got to meet her great grandmother, great uncles and aunts and her Uncle Scott and Kirk as well for the first time! Her Uncle Kirk even woke up at 5am with her the first night! She is holding her head up high and found out she is tickish all over and squeals when you nibble on her legs so cute. 

Got to meet Santa and what do you know they dressed the same um how embarrassing!!

Look mom I can almost sit up!

My first time to the beach it was big and beautiful and smelled funny!

Uncle Scott puts me right to sleep!

Well hello Momma Izzie you are as funny as everyone said you would be!

I finally took a dummy (paci) which makes nap time and bedtime so much better for mommy!

Madison is a Whole 2 months old!!

 I can't believe how fast the time goes by but our little girl is a whole 2 months in the world! She is a whooping 11lbs 2oz and growing. She is really coming alive these days eyes wide open watching the world go by. She is also starting to really hold her head up more and show her personality. Her favorite time is first thing in the morning when mom is so tired she is all smiles and I think oh okay I can be a morning person i suppose. She LOVES her daddy and the weekends are full of early morning bed cuddles with the family, walks in the English Countryside and showing her off to anyone who will look our way. Yep I'd say she is 2 months full of love ahhhh...

I am a cubby chunkster yes mam!

Madison Carolyne Billings

Well at 11:58am on Tuesday the 21st of August, James and I welcomed an angel face baby girl named Madison weighing in at 6lbs 6oz and 22inches of royal cuteness. She was 4 days early but was ready for her debut and 14hrs after my water broke we got to squeeze and kiss her. Just adjusting to no sleep being new parents and lots of feeding, changing nappies (diapers) and staring at her. We are in LOVE x

39 Weeks and a weekend at Sopwell Hotel and Spa

Me doing the "Mo" at 39 weeks!

James surprised me to a weekend at Sopwell Hotel and Spa where we had a swim, sunbath, had a gorgeous fine dining dinner and midnight cuddles....It was so great to get away for the weekend and got my mind off of when the little munchkin was coming. We didn't take any photos of me in my bathing suit (thank god) and little did I know what was coming in 3 days time!!!!!

Picnic in Henley and WAGS baby shower at 38 Weeks!

So here we are at 38 weeks and what a ride it has been. I can't believe I am so close to the finish line and meeting this little munchkin I have been carrying for so long,  yet time has gone by in a flash. Well expect now where time is standing still, I on the other hand am not. I have been cleaning and pacing and walking and overcome with tiredness and excitement. It was my last week of work on Thursday and now I have been resting and going to lunches and doing yoga and massages so it's been tough but I have managed ;) I have been having more Braxton Hicks false contractions and can definitely feel the baby is getting lower down in my pelvis which is exciting, it means things are moving along. I have put my due date back to the 8th of September instead of the 25th of August as a way to pysch myself out so I don't go crazy waiting, I mean this is worse then when James makes me wait till I get home to eat to go french fries!!!!! 

Yep that is a baby and you can see my ever so attractive leggings underneath over the bump, I'll be keeping those and a family heirloom hee hee!

38 weeks of cookin! The roll over at of bed is getting ridiculous!

Just chilaxing in Henley on Thames (where they had part of the rowing Olympics) for a picnic and day naps!

James with a big smile on his face while napping, must be thinking about baby or beer!!

My belly also doubles as a table for my scones with creme and jam which is the best thing EVER!!!!

All the lovely ladies at Bingham Hotel and High Tea Room at Richmond on Thames celebrating Steph Douglas gorgeous self and baby #2. Mark Douglas was one of James's best men at the wedding and I have had the honor of getting to know Steph the past 2 years, she has been an amazing friend and has given me so much advice on babies, pregnancy and everything! Buster and baby #2 are lucky to have her as a yummy mummy!  These girls are called the WAGS (wives and girlfriends ha ha)

Steph at 36 weeks and me at 38 weeks, crazy thing is we have no idea who's munchkin will come out first (Steph was 4 weeks early with Buster) So fun have babies close together can't wait for playdates!

Baby Billings cooking for 37 weeks and considered FULL TERM!!!!

Vivien Westwood Onesie, so appropriate :)

 I am officially 37 weeks now and Baby Billings is considered full term CRAZY town!!!! I have one more week left of work and then have some rest, yoga classes and massages to catch up on :) I have gone into serious nesting mode and have been cleaning and organizing and asking James for loads of cuddles. Emotions are high and I may or may not get caught crying at the Olympics Games everyday doesn't matter if it's rowing, women's boxing, track, field, tennis, badmitten, it's all so intense ha ha!!!! Let's hope all the excitement doesn't send me into an early labour...but I am half term so anything could happen!!!

Cleaning all the munchkin clothes getting ready for the arrival!

Spent the day with my gorgeous friend Harriet having a chin wag (English for girls chat), tea and almond cake yummy!!!

Had to put this one in, James and I went to Hyde Park to watch the Olympics, it was so fun, lots of big screen TVs and different games playing, live music, the works!!!

My Belly seems to have dropped a bit which means baby is getting into position the countdown begins!!!!
