Wow!! It has been a loooong time since I've blogged. There has been a lot of things going on and I feel like I've had zero time to do anything! My #1 reason for taking such a long break is potty training. No one ever told me how frustrating and time consuming this process would be. Its been awhile and I feel like I've gotten no where. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Life has been pretty hectic lately. Jeff was gone in Arizona for a month and a half and came home a few days before Christmas. We moved into our new house 3 days before my sister Wendy came to visit and help out before my family came for Christmas. We had an awesome time, ate way too much food and stayed up late playing games and watching movies. We successfully got my kitchen painted an awesome shade of turquoise and painted the bottom half of Emma's room a sort of raspberry sorbet color with white chair rail half way up. (pictures to come soon) Thanks fam for all of your help!! It was nice to be able to have everyone together for the holidays. Even if it did mean that all my siblings had to sleep in sleeping bags on our living room floor. Thanks guys for putting up with our lack of sleeping quarters. My Mom graciously stayed around to help out with the baby prep and life after the baby came, which was GREATLY needed. Thanks Mom!!!
After waiting 5 extra days, Gracie Marie finally decided to join our family. She was born last Wednesday the 13th at 6:51 weighing in at 7 pounds 2 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. I went in for my appt. and they decided that I should stay and they would break my water. Once they did that it was only about 3 hours before I had her. Call me crazy but I decided to have Gracie without meds as well. Everything worked out really well and I am recovering much better than last time. I am still getting used to only getting 2 hours of sleep at a time. With Emma we had to wake her up every 5 hours to feed, so its been hard trying to adjust. Other than that things are going well and we are happy to have Gracie Marie join us! Here are a few pictures of our little girl and a few with the extremely excited big sister.
