I have so much to update. I have so many pictures, stories, thoughts and all that good stuff. I have an unfinished post. With pictures.I just need to take the time to do it. It makes me sad, I don't want to leave anything out and since I have a TERRIBLE memory, I forget so many things and details. :( so sad. I need to get better at just recording everything on here right as it happens so I don't lose these precious memories!!
I will just do a brief run through of the latest and greatest with us.
Sweet Ashlyn is 3 weeks old. She now weighs 8 lbs 2 oz. She is now 20 inches and still has all her dark hair! Ireland had tons of blonde, which fell out then grew back curly, thick and still way blonde. Leighton was bald as bald can be and still doesn't have much but it is curly too- in the back and sides. I hope Ashlyn keeps her hair and gets curls too! If she doesn't that is ok it will just be weird to have to do her hair! My girls don't even have to comb or do anything with theirs. It is fabulous.
moving on....
I am still breastfeeding and it is a miracle I got milk for this baby. I nursed the others but can clearly tell now that I actually have milk this time. Not just the watery, non fatty part that I made a whole 2 oz a day of. This is the real deal and I couldn't be happier!!
Ashlyn is an amazing sleeper. She has a fun little personality already and I have gotten a couple smiles out of her.
She is a total momma's girl and will cry and as soon as I pick her up, she instantly is fine.. stinker! :) She also knows if someone else has her and just wants mom. I love it. Sad for others though.
We moved!! Seems the packing and moving part took FOREVER just because it was so much work. When I finished watching kids I thought I would have time to get it done, then my pregnancy turned into a nightmare and I had early labor start and stop for days and days and I was exhausted and stressed and miserable. I would be in so much pain from the work my body went through with the contractions... just to have them stop. I felt so weak and couldn't work on my house. After I had the baby, I stayed at my mom's for a week so I could rest/heal and she could spend time with my kids before we left. I got home and then had a week to finish my house. yikes! Daniel made it back home the afternoon of the day we moved so luckily I had help from family to pack that week!!
moving day was insane and I was humiliated!! My house was a disaster, there were so many things I wanted to help with but no one wanted me to lift or help or go up and down the stairs to load the truck so I sorta just stood around and I felt bad. Also embarrassed by how much stuff we had!! It was so awkward. We got a 20 foot truck from Uhaul... it wasn't enough!! ahhh. we still had to get a trailer to tow behind the truck with our stuff. gulp. I didn't realize how much CRAP we owned. Anyway my sis in law and family stayed the night to help us move and made us dinner and breakfast! We then drove the 4 plus hours to our new home where they then stayed and unpacked EVERYTHING and my kids had entertainment and food thanks to Chelsea and Matt and help unpacking from them, daniel, my father in law and my brother too
Funny story. The couch wouldn't fit in the door!! We had to bring it in through the window.... which is on the 2nd floor!! Believe it.... or not.... they put the couch ON the Uhaul, backed it up to the building and pulled it in through the window!! ha ha ha ha it was awesome. You better believe I have pictures of that!!
SO my house is trashed and we are trying to unpack and organize all this STUFF. I am a packrat and have way too many things. I plan to get rid of so much of it! Holy moly we just had a yard sale before we moved to get rid of stuff!! Also to make money for the moving truck. (by the way we made $505 at the yard sale!!! totally paid for the moving truck, trailer and GAS down here and back!!)
Anyway we LOVE it here!! It is warm/hot and there is so much to do . Walking distance from everything We went to an amazing splash park today (pics soon of that too) and are returning tomorrow. Wed. Dan is off work so it is off to the Library to get cards and get new books. Saturday we will walk to the temple and walk the grounds.
The kids are so happy and are glad to be here and we are thrilled.
Life is wonderful right now!!
