Kuddo's to all the parent's

This process has been amazing and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am asstonished on how all the great mom's in this world do it. I know anyone can be a parent but being a wonderful one is alot of work.

Mom's need more then 1 day a year. Dad' s too. I think if you childern have a roof over there heads, food in there stomach and love in there hearts you need to stop and pat yourself on the back. If they have good morals and respect for others you need thank god for giving you the wisdow to be a good parent.

Let's just hope I have been blessed with that wisdom.

BRE'S FAVORITE HANG OUT SPOT'S

SHE HAS 3 FAVORITE SPOT'S

ONE IS ON MY CHEST. WHEN I SIT AT THE COMPUTER I RECLINE LITTLE WHICH GIVES ME ONE HAND TO TYPE AND ONE ON HER. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LITTLE WORK FROM HOME AND IT WORKS PERFECT I GET TO SNUGGLE HER AND FEEL LIKE MY OLD SELF AGAIN.

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED SO MUCH IN MY LIFE I LIKE THAT WORK IS THE SAME. MY NEW ROLE AS A MOTHER HAS CHANGED MY ROLE AS A WIFE. MARK ALREADY IS TALKING ABOUT WANTING MORE KIDS. I WAS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT SAID 3-4 KIDS AND HE SAID 1 NOW COMPLETE ROLE REVERSAL AFTER YOU SEE BRE'S 2ND FAVORITE SPOT YOU WILL SEE WHY HE WANTS MORE.




EVERY TIME SHE SNUGGLES WITH DADDY THEY BOTH FALL A SLEEP


3RD FAVORITE SPOT



IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE TIGGERS EARS HE IS STILL NOT SURE ABOUT HER. HE'S NOT AS SCARED AS HE WAS AT FIRST. TIPPY DOESN'T MIND HER ACTUALLY SHE WILL COME GET ME WHEN BREANNA STARTS CRYING AS FOR DEANO WE DON'T SEE HER MUCH UNLESS SHE''S COMING TO SMELL THE BABY FURNITURE

Getting ready for Santa !!!

We are supposed to be getting ready for Santa this weekend, but with all the snow we haven't been to town yet.I haven't bought anything yet. Mark stopped on his way home to pick up a few things I needed to try some new recipes out. I was feeling good the other day and so I made some Chocolate Chip and some sugar cookies. I figure I would make up some platters/ I also attempted to make a peanut butter cake but I t didn't turn out so good. That same day I slipped on something on the floor and every since then I haven't been feeling well. I just Jarred myself. Needless to say we will see if I get any more of my baked goods done.

As for Miss Breanna, she is good. I thinking I'm somewhat figuring things out. Slowly but surly. I do have to admit that the 2 things I couldn't live with out is the Boppy pillow and the bouncer. She didn't seem to be a big fan of the swing yet. The Boppy pillow is the only thing that allows me to get sleep. At night the only way I could get her to sleep was if I was holding her. Which meant I didn't get any sleep after 2 days of that I decided to put her next to me in the Boppy pillow. She is still laying on her back and she is secure. It works great. I'm afraid of her suffocating so I only sleep with a sheet and make sure there is nothing on the bed with us. Great idea until the weekend rolls around and we add Mark in the bed. We have been working on putting her in her Crib every time she falls asleep..instead of leaving her in the bouncer or holding her we carry her in and put her in the Crib. Hopefully by the time Mark is home with us again he can sleep in bed With me and she can sleep by herself.

Breanna's 1 week old !!!!

Where has the time went ??? You would think that if you don't sleep much time would seem to drag on, but that's not true. I thought I would Blog for a minute while she was sleeping. We had her first Dr's appointment yesterday. Angie drove us in and Carried Breanna for me. Mark was going to catch some sleep and MOm has been at the Hospital with Grandpa this week. I called Angie and she was more then willing to help me out. (Thank you)

Everythign went good at our appointments. I am now staple free and everyday I feel better and better. At Breanna's appointment they said that she is in the 75 percentile. Which is nice. The girl has grown 1/4 of an inch in 6 days. Now she weighs 8lbs 120z.

When we came home from the hospital Bre was on formula and we were bottle feeding her to help get her tongue down in place. Working with the pacifiers and the bottle she was finally able to actually suck.(thank god) I really didn't like the idea of shoving a tube down her throut to feed her. Well when we got home are main concern has been to make sure she was continuing to eating. With the c-section I only have one chair that is comfortable to sit in and it's hard to get Bre in a good position to breast feed so needless to say that is not going good. Tuesday night we transitioned her to just my milk. Mark like's being able to feed her too so the pumping is working out. Hopefully we will get the nursing thing down and I will only pump when he is going to feed her. On thing that I noticed is that Breanna's not as gassy and smelly with my milk. Thank God for that. She takes afer Mark with the gas thing and it should be illegel to give those genes to such a beautful baby girl.

I am still trying to get my life in order. I feel like there is so much to do and so little time. Granted there are ALOT of things I can't do, but I'm trying to get all the things done that I can. In one day our house turned into Baby World that doesn't bother me but Christmas is a week away and all these things that we want to do with her for her first Christmas we are running out of time and energy to do it.
After Bre the main focus for me is Christmas.

I did want to THANK EVERYONE for your calls and concerns for us and the extra Help!

First day off

As you know if you have been reading my blog yesterday was my first day off. It was pretty unadventurous. I got up in the mornging when Mark got home and after being up for a couple of hours I decided it was nap time already. Once I got up from my nap I got our laundry caught up. I had been trying everynight to do a load but last week I was just to tierd and our laundry was really slacking. I had some Christmas onsies that needed washed along with her Christmas dress so Yesteray I got the all done. By the time I made dinner and loaded the dish washer I was unable to muster up the energy to take care of the mountains of clothes on the Dinning room table. So to keep my sainity I decided it would be a good idea to leave it for today. I told Mark I didn't want to get it all done in one day because I would be going crazy for sure with nothing to do.

Speaking of Mark he stayed home last night. He went to work and on the way he slide through the stop sign. When we have bad weather wwe always TRY to make it to 27 and if it is bad or if it has been more then 20 minutes it's time to come back home. (usuallly it's a 5 minute drive) Needless to say he came back home due to all the ice. It wouldn't be so bad if we knew when this baby would get here. He would risk the drive in more if he didn't have to worry about me going into Labor.

I thought I would blog this mornign because I'm not sure what our day will bring. My freind Ashley had her baby on Sunday and they are going to be home today. She has a little boy and I can't wait to see him. I told Mark maybe our baby will be jealous of me Holding MOnte and she will decide to coem out. (Wishful Thinking)

take care and I will talk to you tomorrow
