Welcom Laney Jo

On September 24, 2013 we welcomed a beautiful healthy baby girl.

Turns out she was a lot littler than we were expecting! But she did have a big chubby face! And some rolls on her legs, you know the kind that you just wanna squeeze, ya that's been a hard thing to fight lately!

And did I mention the hair....Oh the hair!!! The nurses were obsessed with her hair, they kept putting bows in it and anytime she would make a noise they would hurry to pick her up so they could use that as an excuse to pick her up and play with her and her hair! 

And those cheeks....OMG!!!!! Between the cheeks, the rolls, and the hair! It's impossible not to spoil her and squeeze her as much as possible!

 

My mom watched Tegan for us while we were in the hospital (And Aunt Cindy helped too!! Thank God for my family!!!) She waited until the 2nd day we were in the hospital to bring Tegan up to the hospital to visit us and meet her new sister. I was still getting over the surgery and working on getting feeling back in my legs, plus I was in some pain that night so the 2nd day was better.

 

When they met it was adorable. Tegan didn't quite understand what was going on. She wanted us to come home with her which was the hard part, explaining to her that we still had a few days we had to be away from her while mommy healed and they checked out her sister.

 

Tegan couldn't believe the baby had so much hair!

Love at first site and a life long friendship <3

Laney bought Tegan a few presents for their first meeting!





It was so much fun getting to have Laney to play dress up with, that hair and her being so tiny, I changed her outfits and hair bows constantly!!

We stayed our regular 3 days in the hospital for a C-Section. I really wasn't ready to go home, it was so nice being taken care of and having every want or need waited on by someone else. The reality of coming home was a bummer to say the least but, it did mean that I was going to have both my babies under the same roof though (which was the scariest part of all I think!) I snuggled Laney as much as possible at the hospital but definitely enjoyed all the help from the nurses.

 Idk if I'm ready to go home but... I better get ready! :)

 

New experience

Well tonight was a new first for Tegan and Me and Daddy really. We had a little boy stay the night. Now we do have a nephew that stays the night a lot but he is also almost 4 years old!! This little boy is only 3 months old!! And he loves to be snuggled which Tegan was not so into! She wanted to be snuggled and she started acting like a little baby all over again when she saw Vinny acting like a little baby :) It was really cute and fun for the most part until Tegan decided it was time to throw a fit and wake Vinny up and then it was far from fun trying to get her and him to sleep at the same time!!

Tonight really made me realize that I may talk about wanting a baby all the time!! And trust me I REALLY REALLY REALLY!!!! Want another baby!! But after the way tonight went I realized that Tegan is still a little baby (only faster, bigger, and crabbier:) ) And so right now I think that I am OK with just my little baby girl, my little snuggle bug and baby bun all to myself and all by herself because I do not have the sanity for 2 babies!! 2 little kids wanting to be held, loved on, played with, carried around, bounced on your knee, fed, etc, i think that is enough examples...2 babies needing all that at the same time not to mention the biggest CHANGED!!! is more then i think i am ready to chew right now and for a little bit! Eddie and I have talked about trying next spring or summer so I have a little while to get Tegy out of diapers and ready to be a Big sister!!

But I am kind of starting to worry about her. I know all kids walk when they want to but she doesn't even kind of act like she wants to walk! She is totally and completely content with crawling and could care less what any one else things because she thinks it is just fine if she wants to crawl for the rest of her life!! But Mommy is starting to get a little concerned! It doesn't help that i have people commenting constantly (it feels like) about her not walking yet! I mean lots of kids don't want until they are between 14 and 18 months and she is just a little over 13 months!! I mean come on! And not to mention I am totally fine with her not walking yet! And the people that keep making the comments (that are COMPLETELY GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!) keep hearing me say the same thing over and over and over again!! That I DO NOT WANT HER TO WALK!!! ya that's right I DON'T WANT HER TO WALK because I know how little girls can be and I know how I was and I am just now getting close to my parents again and I see my niece who is 20 doing it to her parents...Kids RUN from their parents from the time they learn to walk until they are about 30!! And I enjoy the dependency she has towards me when it comes to getting around and such! I mean she can crawl isn't that enough?? I don't get it!! I mean really what is it any one Else's business when MY daughter walks!! I mean come on!! I tell you what I am really thinking about just locking my baby girl and my family in my house and not letting anyone else in EVER!!! I mean honestly my next child I swear I am getting black thick curtains and I am getting REALLY REALLY big locks on my doors and shutting off all phones until my next child is about 15 lol!!! Maybe then i wont get so damn irritated at other peoples comments because I wont be able to hear them!!

Sorry I am really rambling this time! I think it has been a long day and I am in need of some sleep!! :)
