Katelyn's Blessing!! *Updated*

It has been such a long time since I have written, time has flown by!! Well I'm gonna post LOTS of pictures and maybe update with whats going on. Starting with Katelyn's Blessing!

Katelyn just turned 5 months on the 14th!! My sweet baby girl is so big! She is now laughing, not just smiles, but full on, from deep down in her tummy laughs! I LOVE to hear them. She loves ME, she sees me and smiles, and only wants ME. I'm sure later that will get annoying, but as of right now, I'm LOVING it. I am loving this little girl!! She has totally stole my heart away! In October we finally blessed her, she was 4 months and her Great Grandma made the dress.This is us trying on her blessing dress a couple of days before the actual blessing.

We then had a professional photographer come and take pictures of the blessing too:

 This is OUR family! Not all of us, but most! Thank you for being there to celebrate our important day for our tiny baby. I know the other family members wanted to come and I totally understand that its sometimes not possible! But thank you for your sweet messages and phone calls.

 Our sweet Katelyn!

 My Mother inlaw made the blanket and my grandma made the dress! =) Perfect!

 This picture makes me laugh! Bridger is so funny!! Love that boy!

 Abulita, ME, My Mom, Katelyn

 Val, Julieanne, ME, Karrie, Robyn

 My Mother inlaw with Katelyn, they are matching!! How cute is that!?

 This is Jed's mom, and seriously couldn't of asked for a better mother inlaw. She has been amazing and my kids love her so much. We love going to WYOMING and getting to play games and visit. Its a lot of fun.

 YUMMY

 The food was SOOO yummy!! We did Cafe rio style food..and it was amazing!

 Emily helped me out so much this day cooking and preparing for me while I was at the church or tending to other family members! I love this girl so much!! She takes me flaws and all! =)

My Mom! What would I do without my mom!! I dont' know. She is such a huge part of my life and I love her so much. We live 10 minutes apart and sometimes thats close, but most of the time we love it. My kids adore her and know her since we see her on such a daily bases. We are so lucky to have family so close around us!

I'm so grateful for everyone that came to Katelyn's blessing. We loved having you with us and in this special time of our sweet baby.

Katelyn is a MONTH OLD!! *Updated*

Katelyn is fill out SOO much. She is so chunky and growing so fast, her Newborn clothes are not fitting her anymore. LOL she's growing so much! She's still so tiny and little though, and she's starting to focus on my face and voice.

She is so smart for being such a tiny baby! What other baby "talks" at one month? Seriously shes always using her voice! Its so funny, if not using her voice she makes these little "Horsey" noises that are SO cute! I have to record them and put them up.

Kate - 15 Days *Updated*

So its been 15 days! Its been so hard, but so rewarding as well. She is so small, little, fragile, I love her so much. She has one of the most perfect newborn faces I have seen! She reminds me a lot of Jocelyn when she was born with a little bit of Bridger, and then Jed and I in between. =)

We are still struggling with the nursing, today we have a dr. appointment and I will ask him about her latching. She is having problems with the bottle as well, so I wonder if it has something to do with her tounge. Bridger had to get the underneath part snipped so that he would be able to suck better.

Other than that she is such a good baby! She doesn't have any colics, wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat, and shes a really content baby. She LOVES taking baths, she loves them !! She was falling asleep yesterday in her little bath. Bridger and Jocelyn love to watch her take baths and think its so funny that a newborn is taking a "Bubble Bath".

Bridger and Jocelyn have been amazing! They love her so much and are so protective of her. They have been so helpful and just simply amazing the last 2 weeks.

Can't believe we are a family of 5 now!! We are loving it...

Baby Kate with Jaundice KEEP

Our poor baby has Jaundice. Its something you hear about babies having but when they get to high it can actually hurt their liver among other things. They turn a slight yellow, and their little whites of their eyes turn a yellowish tint too.

We had to experience Jaundice with our sweet Jocelyn, and that was an awful experience. She cried and cried in the "Suitcase" mostly because at that time they had to wear a ski mask looking thing to protect their eyes. Now they have that shield that will cover their face.

While they are in the "Suite Case" they have to be completely naked for the lights to work on their skin. Its hard because there isn't any heater installed so its cold. But this one does produce a LITTLE tiny bit of heat, and then we put a blanket over it to make it nice and toasty.

Her sweet little face looks so tiny in this big ole suitcase. But she's taking it so well!! I feed her and got her naked, and she hasn't fussed not one bit!! She is being so brave!!

Her heels are so bruised and bloody from being pricked so much. There is no room on her little feet to draw blood from. Its so sad to see her tiny feet so abused at only 4 days old. It breaks my heart, I just cry. Thats all I can do. But hopefully this will be the end of the stupid heel pricks and in 3 days we won't need to worry about jaundice.

She's so strong, I am so lucky to have this little girl in our family!! She has brought so much in these last 4 days I can't imagine life without her now. My tiny baby.....Sleeping away. I'm so lucky that she is sleeping through the suitcase and she can have both lights on her.

Until next time!

Yes...I got another bag....I can't control myself!

Hi guys!!

So I am getting addicted to all these cute bags!! But I found this one for Bridger and Jocelyn. Its from Ju-Ju-BE. I saw this bag especially made for Toddlers. Its SUCH a cute bag, and I know I just bought a diaper bag, but its so nice to have a "Toddler" bag for just Bridger and Jocelyn. (You wouldn't think I would need to have stuff for Jocelyn, but seriously....it never ends!) Newborns have so much stuff on their own, that I loved this bag idea for Bridger and Jocelyn.




Out of all of the designs I picked this one, but there were so many cute bags to choose from it was HARD!!

It has pockets and inside bags for the Toddler needs, well I went and picked it up today, and it is exactly what I wanted for them. I am just getting addicted to these cute bags!! But enough bags for me, Jed would kill me if he found out I bought ANOTHER bag. But I mean...you mom's understand RIGHT?!?! I need to be fashionable!!?!

AND I just got my diaper bag, its SOOOOO cute!! I can't wait to sport it around!! I'll have to take a picture of it for you guys!!

Alright so now for the hard part, what we are going to do is put Bridger and Jocelyn together with bunk beds. What I want to do is make their room, Chocolate, blue and pink...(AWWWW right!?!? )...but I am having the hardest time finding comforters that are the pink circles and blue circles with brown on them, I found tons of crib sets...but no Twin Sets....does anyone else know where I can get something like that??

Also what was your favorite pregnancy thing to have while you were pregnant?

Cat.

I LOVE this bag....KEEP

So I am so excited about my new find, and I had to share!! This is the Lexie Tote, and its so stylish I had to get it.

So Jed and I are getting ready to make the blue prints for our 3rd little addition, so even though I'm not under construction yet, I saw this bag and had to have it!! I am so gonna have fun with this (Future- Pregnancy!!)
