Some Breastfeeding Humor for you

I was nursing Ladybug when Squirt came into the room. I threw a blanket over myself quickly and asked him what he needed. He walked over and promptly ripped the blanket off of me and cried "WHAT are you doing?" I told him I was feeding the baby, that Heavenly Father made mommies special so that they could feed their babies milk. He looked at me like I'd lost my mind and said "You don't get milk from people! You get it from the bottle in the fridge" So I explained it again and then told him to go away. Later that night he started sucking on my mom's hand and told her he was trying to drink milk!!

It reminded me of when Squirt was born. I would nurse him- and Little Man, barely 3, would be in the room, but never inquired as to what I was doing. One day I was getting him out of the bath, I had just wrapped him in a towel and picked him up. All of the sudden he bit me on my shoulder. I got mad at him, and told him not to bite. After another minute he did it again. When I asked what he was doing, he replied all sad and shy "I'm just trying to eat you like Squirt does."

It's so funny the way kids interpret things!

Bath time fun

Ladybug's umbilical cord thingy fell off yesterday, FINALLY!, which meant that we could give her a bath!

Squirt, after a brief freak out over the baby "losing her pee-pee" (this was the first time he'd seen her with out a diaper on), was a great big helper.

She absolutely love the bath!

Then, while I was trying to dry her off, she promptly pee'd on herself and then puked down the front of her. So maybe we'll try again tomorrow!

And all dressed and clean (one of them, anyway!)

Blessings...

We blessed Ladybug this past weekend, we did it on a Saturday just because we like to rock the boat a little:)

Here she is in her pretty dress. This was the dress I was blessed in, made by my grandma almost 29 years ago! Of course she didn't want to cooperate for the camera. Oh Well:(

It was a wonderful day filled with family and, as always, way too much food!

My Parents and my Grandpa

Last night we went to visit my Grandpa (who is a winter visitor down in Gilbert). He has a beautiful Golden Retriever that my boys loved to run around with. Squirt just clung to Grandpa's leg and became his little shadow, which if you know Squirt is pretty surprising, he doesn't take well to most people. We went to dinner and while sitting at the table Grandpa asked Squirt if he could trade him his dog for the baby. Squirt promptly said "sure" So Grandpa rephrased the question. "I can keep your baby sister and you can keep my dog?" Squirt thought about it for a minute and said "Well, Grandpa we already have a dog, but he needs a friend, so okay!"

I guess he's not as in love with her as I thought!

Sorry blog fans...

I know you've all been dying to see her:

This is Ladybug

We love her!

Delivery went well. With a scheduled C-section there is not much excitement to tell you about, I walked in, they pumped me full of all kinds of drugs...

... and then it felt like they tore her out of my body. I couldn't feel pain, but there was all kinds of crazy pressure where I was sure they were pulling all my internal organs out as well.

Squirt thought it was so cool that daddy got to "Play Doctor"

She was a fatty... 8lbs. 9oz and 19 inches long. She's just perfect in everyway.

Little Man and Squirt are in love. Daddy too!

I've had fun playing dress up

We came home to much excitement and love (and suffocation)

It dawned on me yesterday that I'm a mother of 3. HOLY CRAP!!

She's sleeping awesome so far and would eat hourly if we'd let her. She's already grown a ton and she's such a good baby.

It's D-Day!!

I'm not embarrased to show off my fat self, because today is the end of this MISERABLE PREGNANCY!!! But it'll all be worth it when I hold my little girl in my arms in just a few short hours!

My dear Hubbie has no idea how to (1) get pictures off the camera, (2) update blogger or (3) update facebook. So you'll all probably have to wait a few days for details!

Wish us luck!!

Baby Shower

I had an awesome baby shower a few weeks ago. My mother in law, Marla and my sister in law, Emily put it on for me and it was wonderful. I had so many good friends come. That always makes you feel loved:)

Here's some pics:

Friends/Family!

Opening Presents, this was the only pic I didn't look RETARDED in!

Candy Bar game- way too funny!

And last, but not least THE FOOD!

And here's some stats for you. We are going to be raising a serious diva, I'm afraid. And is it bad if I'm jealous of my daughters closet and she's not even here yet?

67= outfits hanging in the closet (and that's only upto 6 months, I didn't have room to hang anything above that, it's in a big box)
18= onesies in the drawer
20= gowns/sleepers
17= pairs of shoes!!!!!!!!!!! (these are in several sizes, upto at least the age of 3!)

And the number of those that I bought? 4.

Alot of those were gifts, but a ton of the clothes came from my friend Shay, and a ton of the shoes came from my sister in law Emily. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
