Doesn't Get Much Better...

4 months old...I am in love!

What a difference

I think I have finally figured out the problem with our little Adley! I feel like a horrible mommy for not figuring it out sooner. Once we got her on the right formula and once I figured out I was keeping her awake WAY TOO long...things are MUCH better. I now feed her when she wakes up from her nap, play with her for only about 15 minutes or so and she is ready for a nap again. Except for in the evenings I let her stay up a little longer so that she will sleep at night...still waking up once to feed but I can handle that as long as she goes back to sleep right away. Of course she still has her moments but I think all babies do! She is such a sweetie and we are enjoying her sooo sooo much! Oh yeah and we've also been giving her a little Chamomile tea which helps calm and relax her and her tummy. I'm off to do laundry before nap time is over!

God Knew...

This is our living room, the only room that is done

We cannot get her to smile when the camera comes out

Loves playing with daddy

'I need a vacation' So does Mommy

God knew what he was doing giving us our little Adley. He has taught me a lot of patience! I thought I was a patient person already from being a PreK teacher, but I guess not! We are really enjoying her though and seeing her cute little personality come out! She will be 4 months on October 2. She can completely control her head, loves to stand up on her toes, loves to squirm around on the floor when she is on her back, hates tummy time, is smiling a lot (when she feels good), and many more things! We have her on some expensive formula and I think it's working, but she still has her many moments of not being happy. We will see! Adley, you have changed our lives completely and mommy and daddy love you very much!

It's been WAY too long...

I don't even know if people read this any more since I haven't posted in soooo long. Our little princess has changed EVERYTHING around here. We are having a few issues that I won't go into detail but please pray for us as things are pretty rough right now. We go to the Dr. tomorrow to see if she has any ideas to do. Adley is such a sweetie but she is so unhappy and cries so much. We just want her to be happy!

Since all of this has been going on our house is put together enough, but we still have lots to do. I'm hoping to get it all put together soon and post pics of our beautiful home and our pretty little girl.

Be looking for pics....hopefully soon :)

Goodbye 111 E 11th St....We will not miss you

Yep, that's right! It's finally going to be moving day for us this Saturday. After living out of boxes for 2 months I think it's time to move!!!! We are sooo ready to be out of this little box of a house and move into a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath home. We will miss all of our friends and family but we will be back pretty often to visit.

Adley is growing so much I can't believe it. I am so in love with her and thank God for such a wonderful miracle. She will be 2 months old on Sunday!! WOW!

Pray for us as we move....it will not be fun moving with a newborn. Pictures to come once we get settled in and have internet.

Pictures

Adley got her pictures taken about a week ago and they turned out so cute! Brad did a great job. It has been a while since I posted...things have been just a litle busy around here. We are slowly adjusting to our new life and starting to get a little routine going. We love our little girl more and more each day and love seeing her grow and change already. And now it's time to go feed the little princess...

2 Weeks

I can't believe 2 weeks ago we had Adley! It seems like in some ways it has gone by so fast but it also seems like it has dragged on. I am enjoying her while she is so little but it has been rough! I know it gets better. I am so thankful Casey has been here to help me out so much. The most stressful part is that we are in the middle of moving so I have no clue where a lot of her stuff is and we are having to dig and search for anything we need.

If anyone is interested in the birth story here it is:

I had a Dr. appointment on June 2 in the morning. I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid the night before but I wasn't sure. While waiting on my Dr. I was having STRONG contractions I thought I was just going to have to go check in at the hospital. Finally my Dr. came to check me and I was dialated to a 4 and almost thinned out completely. We checked in to the hopsital but had to wait for a room. Everyone was having a baby that day! About 2 hours later I was a 6 and was given pitosin. I really don't think the pitosin helped because 20 minutes later I was pushing! I kept yelling at the nurses that I had to push. They checked me and I was a 10 but I had to wait because the Dr. was not in the room and they didn't have anything set up. I didn't even have time for an epidural! It was a great delivery and so fast! I will never forget it though!
