My sisters and I posing for a pict at the reunion


We have been so busy the last few weeks, time is flying by.The weekend before Valentines day Chris invited some friends from work over and we had a guitar hero night. That same day Chris and Chloe went to by snacks for the party and came home with a dozen beautiful roses for me. Chris said it was for being Awesome! We had a family reunion the weekend of Valentines day ( I guess it was after Valentines day) and that was fun to see family. Then that Sunday was Bella's blessing and it was fun to have all of my brothers and sisters there because they were all down for the reunion. And Jo and her family were there and so were Chris's parents, we are so lucky to have such a suportive family. Bella hated being in her blessing dress and we have no pictures of her in it because she cried the whole time. As soon as she was out of it, she was her normal, calm, sleepy self. Then this weekend we just got back from a trip to Show Low where we stayed in Chris's dads cabin, thanks Wayne for letting us use your house! Chris was able to ski a day at Sunrise while I stayed home and entertained my girls. And we didnt even bust out the camera once while we were there, Im so bummed! But now we are back home and have piles upon piles of laundry. Its amazing how much laundry we have from just one weekend! And the luggage we took, it looked like we were staying 2 months not just a week! The girls were sick before we left but are now feeling good! I hate when they are sick, especially Bella because she is so little, luckily she only had a stuffy nose and it was just for 2 days! We had a lot of fun together as a family but I think Chris and I are ready for a vacation alone!

Miss Diva

Bella had a photoshoot when she was 3 days old and these are a few of the pictures that were taken. They were done by Jessica Mandile of Jessica Mandile photography. Bella was a bit of a diva during the shoot, and to this day I still have not heard her fuss so much as she did when her pictures were being taken. She is just like her father, they both hate to take pictures! But they turned out nicely, thanks Jessica!

Perfect Angel

Bella is now over 2 weeks old and she is still our perfect angel baby. She sleeps most of the time but when she is awake she is so peaceful. We had her 2 week appointment on Wednesday and she is in the 50th percent for her height, the 25th percent for her weight and the 2nd percent for her head size. But she is growing and eating well. Chloe has adjusted to her new baby sister very well. She is a big helper with diapers and telling me when Bella is awake, she even checks to see if she can "see her eyes". We love our little girls, and it is so cute to see Chris with Bella. I catch him in the mornings taking a peek at her sleeping before he goes to work. It is so cute! These are just some of our pictures from the last 2 weeks.

More picts

Chloe and Bella are already best friends. Every time Chloe hears Bella waking up she runs into her room and climbs the crib enough to see over the rail and says "Hi Bella" in the sweetest little voice! I am just hoping that the whole jealousy thing dosent happen! But Im sure it will. It is rare that Bella has her eyes open so when she does I try to snap a photo. It seems like her mouth is open in a lot of the pictures though. She is just a hungry girl like her mother!

Baby Bella

I will add more pictures as they come. Bella was born on Wednesday which was the day we were supposed to be induced but I started labor the night before. The delivery was the worst pain I have ever had and hope to ever experience. No I didnt want to do it natural, but the first epidural didnt work and I couldnt get a second one because I was already dialated to a 10. Thank goodness she was small and it only took 3 minutes. She was 6 pounds 8 ounces and 21 inches long. And we were absolutely shocked to see all of that black hair on our baby girl. Everybody questioned if it was really our baby! Bella is such a good baby,a major night and day from what Chloe was, I guess its true, hard labor, easy baby. Chloe is so excited to be a big sister! More pictures to come!

she is growing finally!

According to my ultrasound yesterday the baby is finally growing and pretty well at that. They estimated her to be about 6 and a half pounds. I am so excited. That was the last ultrasound until she is here, I cant wait to see her in person!
