Myleigh blessing

We started the weekend off at the Zoo we went with the hope kids and they did it after hours so the group got the whole Zoo to ourselves. The kids were able to get there face painted and they looked so cute. After we went and saw the animals and the new exhibit was really neat. The kids had so much fun running around looking at all the animals, what a great way to start the weekend/summer off.

Saturday was one of the spiritual days we had this weekend, it was the weekend Neal decided to get rebaptized even though it was short and sweet you could feel the spirit there, before it started there was a big bang of lightning and during the prayer it poured rain like the heavens were opening and tears of Joy of Laurie (Neals mom) was coming down, and then it stopped and the sun shined right back up. Jay (Neal's dad) was able to baptized him again. Neal asked Kenzie, Braxton and Jackson to sing "When I get baptized" but Kenzie was the only one that would so she sang a solo I was pretty excited that she was brave enough to do it by herself.

(You may have to listen closely she sang quietly)

Saturday night we were able to watch Jackson get promoted to a brown belt in karate he has excelled so much and his nun chuck skills are amazing he can maneuver them around so quickly, watch out world. Way to go Jackson keep up the hard work.

Sunday we decided to bless Myleigh also that was the same day Shontel decided to bless Adaly so we went to Shontel's church first and Amorim blessed her. Then we had to get to our church by 11 to make it, so Tyler could bless Myleigh. Tyler did so good being this was his first baby blessing, yes he was nervous but you couldn't tell. I am so thankful that he holds the priesthood now and can preform all the wonderful blessings. We ended the weekend with a nice luncheon with family, can I just say what an amazing weekend we had.

Dentist

Braxton had his first dentist appointment. Yes I know I'm a little late on taking him to the dentist, but I finally got him there and I was worried he would be scared and not want to sit in the chair or open his mouth. He did amazing he sat down in the chair, I had to hold his hand at first but then he sat there like a big boy and opened his mouth, he let them clean his teeth and floss them. Then the dentist came and counted his teeth he has 10 on top and 10 on bottom. He got a goody bag with a buzz tooth brush and tooth paste which he was excited about. The best part was he has no cavities. Way to go Braxton!!!!!!

Time Flies

Today Myleigh is a month old, man it feels like I just had her and came home from the hospital. She has been such a delight to have. What a miracle to be able to have a baby and watch them grow I love every minute of it even when she is grumpy.
She can now hold her head up really well by her self, she loves tummy time she falls asleep when she is on her tummy and can sleep for hours. She has a good grasp on things when she can get a hold of your hair or fingers watch out lol.
I love the fact that she smiles so much now, even in her sleep it is so sweet to just sit and watch her for hours even if she isn't doing anything.

We have a picture of Jesus hanging by our couch and every time Myleigh sees the picture she just grins from ear to ear and if she is crying and looks at it she stops and just stares. It makes me wonder if newborns remember heaven and Jesus and what it is like and if the veil has not yet covered there eyes.

It is amazing what a sweet spirit that enters the house when you have a newborn, I think that is what Heaven is going to be like, not to mention the smell of a new born, that is one of my favorites.

3 weeks old

Myleigh's 2 week check up.

 2 weeks old

WOW how time flies I can't believe that it has already been 2 weeks since Myleigh has stolen our hearts. She has been such a wonderful baby hardly ever cries but loves to be held. She has already started to try and hold her head up.
She had her 2 week check up and she now weighs 7 pds 9 oz. So she gained 7 oz in 2 weeks which is good considering that her pediatrician said babies usually loose weight, then by their 2 week check up they are back to there birth weight, so I must be producing enough milk for her. She also got a poke on her foot which she did not like, she cried which was sad to watch.
I am thankful that she is happy and healthy and growing.

Myleigh Ann has arrived

Myleigh arrived on April 4 at 7:59 a.m. she weighed 7 pds 2 ounces and 20 inches long. We are so thankful that she is happy and healthy. She took nursing very well when they brought her to me, so I was happy about that I prefer nursing to bottle feeding if I can, so I was excited about that. She is so beautiful she looks like Kenzie when she was born. She is such a precious miracle as of all my children are.

Right after she came out

Was not a fan of her first bath.

The kids just love her and are happy that she is out of mommy's tummy they can't get enough of her.

Braxton super excited!!!

Can't stop looking at there sister

Big sister once again!!!

Then there was 5 kids that is!!

Even daddy is happy


Loves her Myleigh so much

So far she has been an easy going baby, hardly cries, she usually wakes up about 2 times during the night. She does love to be held, which makes it hard sometimes when I am trying to do something around the house, or even to try and sneak in a quick shower can be difficult.
It is true what they say about babies, all Myleigh does right now is eat, sleeps and poops lol. But thankfully I have such wonderful kids who help out a lot, and such a wonderful husband who has been nothing but awesome during everything, cleaning, cooking, changing diapers. I am at the perfect place with so many miracle's and blessing in my life.

Our precious bundle of Joy

36 weeks

I had my 36 week check up and I gained a pound I am now 140 pds. We got to hear the babies heart beat and it was 135 bpm. So she is growing good and sounding good which is what we like to hear. They checked my cervix and She is head down and I am dilated at 1 centimeter. She is getting ready to make her appearance but she must wait a few more weeks. I am also down to once a week visits :).

37 weeks came fast but I gained another pound and I am now at 141 pounds. So far I have gained 32 pds. I am where I was at with Kenzie by the time I had her so I guess we will see how much I gain with this pregnancy. They checked her heart and it was at 165 and I am still dilated at 1 centimeter. We shall see what next week brings.

My last check up was 38 weeks since I am having a C-Section on April 4th. I gained 2 more pounds and I am weighing in at 143 pounds. That means I have gained 34 pds, I surpassed my weight gain between my 2 other kids. So hopefully the weight comes off fast. They checked my cervix it is still at a 1. We went over what was going to happen during the C-Section and the post care. I am a little nervous about having another C-Section. But I am ready for this little one to come out of me and welcome her to the world.
