New around these neck of the woods......

Well figured I would have somewhere so family and friends in different states can keep track of what is going on with us.

So far things are going good....waiting for the holidays to come.

Kaylin goes for her 2 month well baby check up on Monday the 22nd, which of course involves shots. She is growing like a weed! I can't believe how much she has changed! She is a lot more solid now and is doing awesome holding that big noggin of hers up. She loves to smile and talk to you and getting kisses. Daddy loves to tickle her and pick on her thunder thighs. We are noticing her liking music a lot more now a days. If she is tired fussy we will put her in her swing and put music on and she calms right down. We are finally sleeping back in the bedroom instead of on the couch....thank goodness because mommy missed her bed! I am still not ready for her to me in her OWN room yet, so for the time being she will be in her co-sleeper in our room until I feel ready for her to move.

John is busy working crazy shift work schedule...a different shift every week. Gets complicated some weeks because I forget which shift he is either starting or ending. One of these days I will get the hang of it.

As for me I am hanging in there. Being a mom is not easy, but I am going strong. The breast feeding is going wonderfully and I couldn't be happier about that. Granted getting up every 4-5 hours in the middle of the night sucks but well she is worth it haha. We are still trying to figure out why I have high blood pressure at such a young age. So I got for an MRI to check our my renal arteries to make sure they are good. If they aren't then I will have to get a stint put in to open up the artery and hopefully that will solve my BP problems. If they are fine then well lots of blood work and labs is what is next.

The dogs are doing fine....a big pains in the butts they are some days but otherwise they don't mind Kaylin being here. Snickers LOVES Kaylin, I think she thinks its her baby. She is always checking on her to make sure she is ok. Zoe yeah she could really careless Kaylin is here. Occasionally she will come and check her out but otherwise ehh she keeps to herself.

But we are enjoying being a family...we have or good days and our bad days. But all in all we are doing our best.
