4 Months?! Crazy!!!

Our little Lainey Love is 4 months old!!!

Lainey is one of the sweetest babies I've met! We love her soooo much! She makes us so happy! She laughs and talks the minute we interact with her!

She has the cutest little frowny face, one of these days I'm going to get a picture of it!!

She LOVES her big sister! She gets the sweetest smile every time she sees her and watches everything Cate does!!

I HAVE to say that we have 2 of the cutest girls in the world :)

Aspen, Lucas and Lainey

1 month, 4 months, 2 months

Cate is 2!!

I can not believe my little girl is already 2!

She weighs 23.6lbs

She is 33 inches

She is getting so big!!

She is very smart

She loves to sing (with a little help). Some of her favorites are:

I love to see the temple

I am a child of God

Love is Spoken Here

Do as I'm doing

The wise man and the foolish man

Sunbeam

Popcorn Popping

Abc's

She talks A LOT and knows a ton of words and says 6-7 word sentences

She takes her diaper off a million times a day! But still wont potty in the potty!

She is a good older sister and loves her lots. She was the first one to get Lainey to belly laugh!!

She likes to try and change Lainey's diaper.

She tends to fight constantly with only her cousin Liby!

She has a new cousin named Londyn Jade who is so sweet and precious!!

She loves nursery, she's a little nervous at first but then does great!

She is VERY independent!!

She has discovered Dora and loves her to death! Its the only thing she will watch and cries for it the minute she wakes up in the morning!

I could go on and on and on!

We love Cate to death!!

I ALWAYS forget to download the pictures backwards so that they show up in the correct order on the post! Oh well! I'm way too tired to fix that right now!!! (Start at the bottom :))

Anyways! Meet our little girl!!

Lainey!

Cate meeting her little sis Lainey

This part was sooo fun!

Cate is slowly, very slowly adjusting to this new little person in our home! She loves her little sister and is so motherly to her but I can tell its pretty hard for her at the same time.

This baby is so sweet! She is calm, content and happy. Just like Cate she has a beautiful strong spirit. She loves her mama and loves to cuddle me. She is a great eater and has been since the second she tried! She looks a lot like Cate but at the same time looks a lot like Matt and thats funny because Cate looks like me.

Isn't she gorgeous!

I skipped posting any labor or delivery pictures....you would NOT want to see those!! They started my pitocin and broke my water at 7am so Labor was about 8.5 hours long. I was only in Labor with Cate for 5.5 hours so I was expecting less with this one! Oh well! I didn't pass out this time!! Yay! This is crazy but this Labor was such an awesome experience. I loved every minute of it! (Hmmm maybe not those last 10 minutes!!!) And I KNOW that its all because of the people I had with me! Matt was perfect. He rubbed my feet, rocked back and forth with me for hours, rubbed my back and was very gentle and sweet even when I got grouchy with him! My mom was there, she's a pro at this stuff, she's been thru it 9 times so she was VERY helpful! Especially when Matt or I weren't quite sure what to do-she knew. I'm glad Lauren was there too. She made sure the WHOLE time that things that were happening I wanted to happen and she made sure I was comfortable. I'm grateful she was there to do that! Oh she also snuck some video footage!! Hahah its not allowed at my hospital but she did it!! Breanne ended up coming too! She was awesome because she took lots of pics and some video too. I also had amazing nurses. One especially was just awesome! I am so thankful for her! I wouldn't have been able to do it the way I did with out her I don't think. She was very compassionate, calm, supportive and she knows her job very very well. I really couldn't have asked for anything better! The whole thing was perfect and beautiful and I got a perfect, beautiful little baby too!

Here is Madilyn with Daddy we all think she looks a lot like him.

So, Wed Feb 16th I went in for my normal weekly check up and blood pressure was up, I had a little protein in my urine and baby was still measuring 36 weeks (this normally probably wouldn't be scary but since Cate stopped growing at about 35-36wks and could have been really sick or died if she wasn't induced, I was nervous this little girl was in the same boat!) so Dr. Lunt decided it was best to get induced. I was really disappointed. I soooo wanted to experience going into Labor on my own! BUT I also wanted my baby to be safe. The induction was scheduled for the next day!!

We're getting ready!

Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks! I seriously CAN NOT believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by!

I remember being pregnant with Cate and going back and forth between feeling very overly ready to have her out of there and feeling not ready and scared and wishing she could stay inside a while longer!! But mostly I just wanted pregnancy to be over!!

Baby 2 is so different.

I'm loving every single minute of this pregnancy!

And this time its not because I'm scared and feel nervous (cause I can't wait to hold and squeeze and kiss this little girl!) Its because it feels so.....special &/or sacred (is that crazy?!). Those might not be the best words to describe my feelings but I don't think I could describe it in words.

Right now I'm really wishing time would just slow down a little

It might also have a little to do with her...

I think every pregnant mama with baby #2 feels the same way!!!
