My Little One Month Old

I just want to know how it is possible my little bug is one month old!?!? She is growing up way too fast already. She is so much fun to have around. We all adore her which of course means she is spoiled beyond measure! She loves to snuggle, which I am more than happy to comply with, and her sweet cheeks scream "kiss me!" so of course I do.

Red Carpet Night

Saturday we threw a movie themed bridal shower for my sweet niece, Adrienne. She is such a doll and we had so much fun doing it for her. Everyone had a movie that their gift corresponded with... for example one of her gifts from Jessica and I went with Pretty Woman (someone has to embarrass her, right??). Everyone got creative with their gifts, which really made it fun. We had popcorn, soda, and movie theater candy for food and everyone got their picture on the red carpet as they arrived. Congrats on your engagement, Adrienne! We love you!

Living Planet Aquarium

The weekend before I had Shaye, I turned 30 (do I scream at that or just go with it and say "party!"???). I wanted to get out and do something fun with Justus because I figured we probably wouldn't be doing that for awhile. We decided that the Living Planet Aquarium would be a fun place to try. Justus had a great time even though he didn't want to touch the stingrays and the anaconda snake "scared me, Mom!" Can't say I blame him, I really couldn't even look at it- so creepy! The gift shop ones were pretty fun, though... I think they were his favorite part of the whole thing.

Bringing Baby Home

We got to go home May 1 & we were all so excited to finally be going home! We love having Shaye in our family. She is a delight for all of us. We are so blessed to have this sweet spirit in our family.

Our Baby Story

Thursday the 28th we left Justus home asleep with Grandma Liechty and headed to the hospital for the scheduled c-section. We had to be there at 5:30, but surgery wasn't scheduled until 7:30. By 7:53, she out and peeing... yes, I said peeing. As they pull her out the doctor says "Here she is, and she's peeing." Nice, huh? We later realized that is just her, "Oh, I'm out in the open, now would be a good time to go!" I thought that was suppose to be a boy thing, but no, this girl is far worse than Justus ever was. In recovery, they brought her back to me to feed and cuddle. What a doll! Dustin was able to bring Justus back to meet his sister and he thought that was pretty neat. He really loves her- he calls her "my baby" and lets us know every move she makes. This c-section went much better than the one with Justus- I felt so much better during and after. I loved my anesthesiologist- he took such good care of me, not that my one with Justus didn't, this one was just very attentive to any possible need that I could have had. So, thank you Dr! Thank you to all the amazing doctors and nurses that were involved in bringing my healthy beautiful baby girl into our lives!!
