Visit to the Farm & John's 30th Birthday Celebration

September 23, 2017

It's one of the best time of the year, FALL! I love living up North in the Fall. There are so many fun kid friendly events that I never got to do in Florida that they have here. Now that I have kids I can enjoy these events too! 

You can definitely tell that Presley is a daddy's girl. She really enjoys her time with him. Seeing them together really melts my heart! 

Mema Visit

My mom came to visit so she can be here for Aniston's arrival so she can help me with Presley. Presley really loved having her Mema here. We try FaceTiming as much a possible, but there is nothing like being with the person. It was so great having her here. I enjoyed the time with her and she was so helpful!!! Being in the military and moving all the time it really makes you cherish all the time you get with your loved ones. I don't get a lot of to spend time with my family since we live in a different state, but when I do get time to spend with them I enjoy every moment! 

 

First week as a Mother of two!

The first week as a mother of two went well. Presley started adjusting well. At first she did throw some tantrums because she is used to having me there 24/7 and now I am occupied taking care of her sister two. But I started figuring out how to take care of Aniston with nursing while playing with Presley at the same time. Can you say multitasking?? :) 

Presley is loving having another baby around now. She even tries to give Aniston her pacifier if she is crying and tries rocking the swing for her. I am truly blessed! One word of advice for anyone who is having two under two is to baby wear. It makes my life so much easier!!! 

Aniston Mae arrived!

September 1, 2017

One August 31, I had a doctors appointment to check on how everything was progressing with Aniston. My due date wasn't until the following week. However, when I went to the doctor she said I was already 3 cm and 50% effaced and she didn't think it would be long for Aniston to arrive, could even be that same day. Of course I was ecstatic!!! My mom was already here, I was very uncomfortable and I wanted to meet my beautiful baby girl. 

The day went by and I just made sure everything was ready in case she came early. Well around 7pm I started feeling some contractions. I started timing them and they were about 5 minutes apart. I did that for an hour and then told John that it was time to go to the hospital. 

Off we went and sure enough they said I was in labor. However, my water at this point still didn't break. I wanted for about two hours and they gave me the epidural. This epidural was much better than the one I had with Presley. I was able to feel my legs, but couldn't feel the contractions :) Around 2am they came in to break my water since it still didn't break and I was determined to have Aniston with this doctor (the same doctor that delivered Presley). 

Then around 7:30 am they checked to see if I was ready to deliver and sure enough I was ready! After five minutes and only 8 pushes she was out! This was the easiest delivery ever!!! Immediately after deliver I tried nursing her and she latched on right away. I knew right then that she was going to be a big eater! The nurses let me nurse her for an hour before they took her to do her weight check and first bath.
