Kinley's Newborn Pics... well some anyways!

I am so beyond blessed and thankful that our sweet friend Holly started her photography business a little over a year ago. Corinthian's House Photography is her business. You can find her on facebook! She really is fabulous and so passionate about capturing those precious shots of family, newborns, you name it she will do all she possibly can to make it the most special time of your life!

So far Kinley is doing pretty good for us as a baby. She is still sleeping a lot during the day but she stays awake a lot in the morning time. She gets up twice in the night to eat but goes right back to sleep after she finishes her bottles. Her brother and sister LOVE her! Seriously as soon as they wake up they come straight to her bed or right up to her and say "Good Morning Baby Sister" Ryan won't leave her alone most of the time. When we try to do tummy time he is right there by her. Jade really likes to help take care of her as well. She was a HUGE help during my 5 days of down time recovering from my c-section. Well Kenny made me not do much for 5 days. I have actually done just as well if not better this time around. I've vacuumed the whole house today and steam mopped the floors, cleaned the bathrooms from top to bottom and fixed an enormous dinner for us! I think being told I can't do something makes this Momma try harder!

Anyways, we are all doing well and adjusted just fine. I was a little worried about it considering I haven't been on anxiety meds since a week before she was born due to them making me so sleepy all of a sudden. I didn't know how that would pan out since this past week was a year my grandpa has been gone, Ryan's 2nd birthday, and all kinds of appointments to check incisions, Ryan's 2 year well child, and Kinley's weight check. I feel like the post partum is almost all gone, except the occasional looking at my children and husband, and of course just my life and breaking down every now and then! We are so very blessed for sure! Here are a couple of pictures from Kinley's shoot to close out this rambling mess, but seriously who wouldn't cry when they saw this precious face! :)


A little tidbit about this picture. This Bible is Holly's Grandpa and Grandma's family Bible! When we tried for so long to have Jade we constantly lived by this verse. 1 Samuel 1:27 "For this child we prayed" Every time I have been pregnant I have prayed this prayer and of course prayed for protection for them and myself during the pregnancy. Holly is such a great friend to us she knew this would be a special shot! So proud of them both!

Hmmmm

Well today was officially my last doctors appointment pregnant. I go in for pre op next Wednesday morning and have to be at the hospital at 10:30 Thursday morning.

I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable. My legs are swollen all the time. My stomach hurts in every way possible and I'm turning into quite the cry baby.

I just want to hold this sweet little girl and know that she's ok. I want to get over this horrible cough before next week or that's going to be awesome with a fresh incision. I want a footlong chicken teriyaki sub and I want to eat it all! I want to be a good mommy to three beautiful children who will be 3 and under. I want everyone to quit giving me advice and to quit saying you are going to have your hands full. Seriously I may punch the next person in the throat! I want to cry just because. I want to start this crazy life.

And now you want me to shut the whining up and get over it already right? 😉

Seriously!

Well yesterday was our appointment and ultrasound. According to it we have 1) a very engaged girl 2) an 8lb 12oz little chunky monkey 3) measuring 40 weeks and 3 days today 4) not a moved up surgery date.

I'm beyond bummed. I'm ready. My crotch feels like its ripping in two all the time. I'm not dialated at all again. I'm grumpy and uncomfortable. On the bright side I suppose my belly is all baby! I swear the first person at the hospital who comments on how fat or big my baby girl is I will literally punch them in the face. Yes I am getting to that stage in this pregnancy! Lol! 😉

Happy New Year!

Holy cow! What a year 2012 was. It started off horrible and ended terrible! Needless to say I'm ready for this new year to start. Our family is just now starting to get over a HORRIBLE head cold/ congestion nightmare. That was so hard on this 38 1/2 weeks pregnant mama! I literally cried three times I was so sick. Nightmare. I go back to see Dr. P on Thursday and I can't wait to get our las look at Kinley via ultrasound before we see her in person! I have a feeling we will be moving our surgery date up after that appointment. I'm beyond ready as long as she is! I have plans to finish moving her stuff over tomorrow as long as Kenny feels up to it (ie he has no choice at this point because he put it off long enough!)

I'm not making resolutions this year but I am focusing on goals:
1) Be the best Becca I can be. (Wife, Mommy, Friend, Daughter, Sister, etc)

2) Don't sweat the small stuff

3) Live each day to the fullest.

4) Be forever thankful and grateful for each day God has blessed me with no matter what the day brings.

Those sound at least some what feasible I suppose.

Happy New Year all! I hope you have a plethora of blessings in 2013!
