Four Months












My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, 

You are becoming less and less little baby and more and more little girl. Your eyes show so much emotion, they smile long before your mouth does. You take the world in, observing everything that goes on around you. I want to so badly keep you in this home sheltered from the great big world, but I know that someday you will be on your own figuring things out as you go. So for now I will cuddle you, love on you, and pray over you. You are everything imagined you would be and so much more. It has only been four months with you, and yet I feel like you have been with me forever. I love every second with you; even the moments that I am knee deep in a blow out or covered in your spit up because I know they are moments that will go by to fast. 



You are a busy little girl and month four was no different! GG came to visit and so did grandma and grandpa, they all love watching you grow and learn! You love being cuddled by GG and read to by grandma and grandpa. We went to Albuquerque to visit Yaya and Papa and celebrate Brandee's birthday. You do great in the car for six hours, that seventh hour is pushing it. While in Albuquerque you met so many more family members that love you and loved meeting you! Both your Mom and Dad come from large families and introducing you to them and watching you make memories with them is one of my favorite things. You have Yaya and papa's hearts in your hand and you love being with them, which sometimes makes the distance a little hard. You went to mom's church for the first time and met so many of the women who have guided and shaped mom into the woman she is today. You even let a few of them hold you, which these days is a rarity. It was wonderful being in Albuquerque with you little lady, I have a feeling you are going to enjoy it. You turned 100 days old, it is hard to believe that we have already had 100 wake ups with you. You celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day, which you of course wore green for, mom and dad snuck away to see Beaty and the Beast! 

You learned what your fingers are this month and now they rarely leave your mouth. You have yet to actually laugh, but you love to squeal which is just as wonderful. You hate tummy time but you enjoy playing on your back and reaching for your toys. You have become quite bashful, and cuddle your head into momma's chest anytime anyone acknowledges you. You love being read to, sometimes a good story time is all you need to calm down. You hold your head up so well and love sit and stand as well. You still love to be cuddled and swaddled to sleep, speaking of sleep you slept through the night on Sunday March 12th! Momma is very happy about that!!! You are finally growing into 0 to 3 month clothing, and recently moved up to size one diapers. You are just a sweet little girl. Lastly on your 4 month birthday YOU ROLLED OVER! You are an incredibly sweet and gentle baby, I love watching you learn!

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

Eight Months

Well beautiful we are another month closer to your big first birthday. As we inch closer and closer I seem to remember more and more those first moments with you. Like the moment that I finally made it into post op and they put you on my chest, it was as though all the pain of my c section was gone and time stood still. Or the moment of watching your dad and the nurses give you your first bath, I longed to be there by your side but also loved that it was your daddy with you. These moments fill my heart often, but as often as I long for those first few days I am just as eager to see where you go in this great big world. You have so much personality and drive that I know you are going to be one amazing adult. You are strong willed but never will I say that's a bad thing. You are quiet, observant, cautious, and slow. You don't make a single move without thinking it through. Your smile is contagious and you are still rarely seen without it. You are perfect! This month was fi...
