She is finally here!

I messed up and my writing is bleow the pictures...but here are my kiddos!




So my baby girl is finally here. She is now 10 days old and as beautiful as ever! It was an interesting 10 days though. Long story short...I had to have a D&C yesterday. Was still having lots of pain that I shouldn't have had and by Friday at lunch we finally figured out why. Don't fret though...everyone is well. I am very tired and a little sore but my babies are good!


Since I wrote the above, she is now 13 days old and is growing like a weed. Had her two-week check-up today and doc said they like for them to be back to birth weight by this time. Well, she has surpassed that by 7 oz...could be the 4 oz of milk she drinks every 3 hours!!! Fortunately, that is formula since I am on antibiotics at this time. And to add to that..I am pumping because I do want to nurse...this may be more info than you want to know so you may want to stop reading but if you don't...I am using an electric pump for the time being. If you have never used one or you have never seen one...they made this humming noise. My two-year old son found it one day and turned it on. He then proceeded to drive the handles and make car noises. Wait...it gets better. Then he tried doing the same thing again...WHILE I WAS USING IT!!!!!! Wait...it gets even better. Then one day as I was finishing up, he pulled up his shirt and said "Do mine, mommy, do mine!" So now when I am pumping, I try to lock him out of my room. It is amazing what a 2-year-old can pick up on.



Back to baby girl, doc said her hips feel a little loose but nothing to be worried about. She goes back in two weeks to check up on that again. If still loose, then we can worry...or at least I will. Still have to keep her out of the public until shots at 2 months. He did say that she can have them at 6 weeks if need be...but I think I may want to stay home longer. Have to consult hubby first.



I hope you are all having a blessed day and week. Here are some photos.

Almost done!

So looking back, it has been a while since I let the world know what is going on in my life. So, in trying to avoid working on lesson plans, I thought I would update you. I am 38 weeks prego today. Her name has now been changed to Addyson...for the 1000th time! But that is final...I promise! I go back tomorrow for a check-up but I only have a week left at the very most. Doctor is going to induce on the 18th unless I have her before then...I am praying I have her before then. I am absolutely miserable these days but that goes with it, right? I have had a crazy week with school activities, little girls' cheer camp, a fever blister, AND pink eye in BOTH eyes. And that still hasn't gone away. My eyes aren't red any more but still are matted shut every morning. Other than that, things are good. Baby's room ready, for the most part, thanks to tons of people (i.e. babysitter, husband, and basketball team)! One little section left to paint but won't take long. I promise to put pictures up when it is finished.

Along with life being crazy when you are a teacher, coach, cheer sponsor, wife, mother of a 2-year-old and one on the way...it is hard to find time for yourself. That time usually consist of sleeping, sleeping, and more sleeping...unless you are awake at 4:00 in the morning, then I watch Nick at Nite, the Food Network, or HGTV. I find it so hard to find time for the only one that matters...Him...my Heavenly Father. So, if you find time, please pray that I can find time. I talk to Him daily, but to really study His word has been pushed to the side.

I hope you all have a blessed week. Maybe the next time I am on here, I can post pictures of our newest addition.
