First Float in the Hot Tub....

Here we go!!!! I have a real fear of water. I love swimming, but I can't do it. I really want Dani to love the water so we decided to start her out early.
She squirmed a little when we first put her in, but it was a hot tub so she slowly warmed up to it.

She loves to float. Thanks to her diaper she is a pretty efficiant floater.

She loves to be cradled in the nook of her Daddy's arm. There is always comfort there for any little girl.

And here she is floating on her own. She is going to be a great little swimmer.

We can't forget our big puppy Paizley Mae. She loves the water too and has to be involved anytime anyone is in the water. Plus, she is a little bit protective of Princess Rose, our little "Love Bug".

First Shower...

Dani and Jeremy are shower buddies. Whenever I need more time in the morning I just throw Dani in the shower with her dad.
Aren't they just the most beautiful thing in the world.

Ahhhhhhh...nothing like the feeling of water hitting your tummy.

Goodbye to Grandma Walker

Grandma Walker came to visit us for a whole week. It was so good to have her here. You can't really see it but under moms hand is a grey hose. That was the power source that hooked Dani up to her Billi-blanket. She had the billi-blanket for almost two weeks.

We had to say goodbye. It was really hard for me. I didn't realize how much I missed my mom at this delicate time of my life until she left. Then I couldn't stop crying because I really did miss her.

Dani loves being loved by her Grandma.

Bye Mom!!!

Have to fix everything just right, and......

Then you can take the picture.

When we were waiting to check in moms luggage there were some women looking at Dani in her stroller. They were so amazed that I was up and walking around after only one week. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out of the house and I felt great!!!!

Daddy's Little Girl

This is my most favorite picture. Jeremy is such a good Daddy, and Dani just adores spending time with him.

Our Little Angel!!!!!

Getting Ready to Go Home....Daddy went out and bought a special dress for Dani. None of the outfits we had at home were small enought. She was only 6 lbs when we left the hospital, so she needed some Premie clothes.
If there was ever a woman on earth that I loved as much as I didn't like, this is her. She is my delivery nurse, Kerry. She was so totally amazing throughout the whole experience. She was probably the number one reason that we didn't have a c-section.

This is the car seat Diva. She loves Piglet and Pooh.

She spent a lot of time in the sun. Her jaundice was really bad because of the huge bruise on her head. She just needed some time in the sun.

Dani is Daddy's little Girl. She will never be loved like her Daddy and her Mommy love her.

I just love this little naked picture. She is so cute.

Grandmas and Grandpas

Nana Barber was helping us get ready to go home. First we had to take picutres. Look at those skinny legs. They didn't come from me!!!!

I woke up the morning after the delivery and felt energized enough to do my hairl, but it ended there. Make-up was out of the question. Dani spent most of her day time in the sun. She has Jaundice really bad.

My mom flew down to spend some time with us and the baby. It was so nice to have her here. I loved seeing my mom with Dani. It all seemed to come full circle.

Nana and Papa Barber were there. Nana was in the delivery room coaching and helping me through the whole delivery process. Papa was waiting in the hall listening to me scream and cry. He said that for the next baby he won't come into the building because he doesn't want to hear that again.

Danilynn Rose Barber

Danilynn Rose Barber was born on April 10, 2007 at 6:26 pm. I look a little worn out in this picture, mostly because I was.

In the Beginning....

We were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 9, 2007. It was sunny skies when we went into the temple and pouring rain when we came out. I hear that rain on your wedding day means "Good Luck". I think that is something they tell brides to get them to calm down.

This is the Walker Clan. We were only missing Jerrod wh0 was off in Iraq fighting for our freedoms. From left to right: Dad, Joie, Mom, Jordan, Me, Jon holding Whitney, Jeremy, Brittany (married to Jon), Jenna, Anna (Jerrod and Erika's), Kiaya (Jon and Britt's), and Erika holding Justin.

It was a beautiful Day and by far the best day of my life. I get to be with my "Sweetie" FOREVER!!!!
