About Me

My photo
Jason asked me to dance for the very first time to one of my favorite songs, & as we sang along, I never imagined how he would later affect my life. We went our separate ways but God definitely had a plan for us because everywhere I went, there he was. We somehow knew the same people, loved the same things, & soon were inseparable. The day after our first date he took me to the cowboy church with him. I was impressed with this man! Gods plans sometimes are different than what we have pictured so when we found out we were pregnant, we were wondering why God had chose this path for us instead of giving us more time to enjoy each other as a young couple & do all the things that make parenting later in life a little easier. Apparently God knew we had it in us to be strong as a couple & as parents because as we prayed, we were reminded that this baby GIRL was a blessing & would give us more than we could've ever dreamed of having on our own. Tylee is her name & boy let me tell you, she's a wild one. She's got a heart as big as Texas, a smile that'll make anyone's day complete, & eyes brighter than the sun! We are happier than ever and we can't wait to see what the future holds for us!

Caution: New momma learning in progress!

It has been quite an experience, being a new mom for 26 days now. I think I got alot of preparation for the being awake part when I had to take a lovely stroll to the restroom (ok, ok like 5 steps) every hour; BUT, that didnt include trying to get a wide awake baby to nurse & then have her just play with your breasts instead of eating haha. But I'm slowly (no really..SLOWLY) learning to adjust and figure out what works, what doesnt, and how to ignore all the pressure & advice people lay upon you. I know some people have "horrible" experiences and some people have "perfect overwhelmingly joyful" experiences...but guess what? Not everyone is the same, IMAGINE THAT? So yes it gets frustrating but several people have let me in on a little secret: Its OUR baby, meaning Jason & I, and we can choose to do whatever works best for us & raise her how WE see fit. So that helps me get through the days if I just keep that in mind.

So today Tylee had her first real check up. Which was after our parenting class, lots of running around! After driving 45 minutes to get to this place on the complete opposite side of the town we were going to, filling out paperwork, (2 pages of medical history that she doesnt have, haha) & getting into the room, I was so glad to find that I really like the pediatrition :) Thank goodness. Tylee was born at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and is now 9 pounds, 5 ounces--TERRIFIC! She's grown only an inch but thats good too! And when they had to have her undress she hardly fussed! I was so proud! And that report: She's perfect! :) What every mother prays to hear, I am so thankful.

So we got home right before Jason and my dishes weren't done, laundry wasnt folded and things were still scattered everywhere. Thankfully she was still asleep from the car ride so I put her carseat on the wonderful swing that has that handy feature & got to it! Dishes: check! One basket of clothes folded: check! Clutter gone: check! Sadly Tylee's big girl crib is full of her clean laundry - good thing she's only 3 weeks & sleeps w/ us or in her bassinet! Now she's awake & eating (yes breastfeeding, calm down folks! I'm chicken peckin on this keyboard with one hand!) Yet after all that I havent planned dinner. Oh well, those boys dont ever go hungry lol.

Oh! We just recently had Tylee's infant pictures done, take a peek!








Well, thats all for now, SO excited my blog has began! A big thanks to Crystal & Sarah Beara for the help! <3
