Baby Love

Oh man, has it been a long time since I blogged! The last time was when I was 38 weeks pregnant, and 4 days before my little Eisley was born. It's kind of funny to read that post, because I remember I was just SO ready to not be pregnant anymore. I guess she heard my complaints and decided to show up early!

So what's been going on? Well, I had Miss Eisley Rose!

                              
You guys, I'm so in love with her. It's so true when other people say that you have this instant love for your baby the second you see them. I don't think anything can compare to the feeling I had when I first held her in my arms. I kept thinking how right it felt. It was almost like my whole life I had been waiting for that very moment. In an instant there was this tiny baby with cute pouty lips and big eyes staring at me. I about died of happiness. And don't even get me started about Ian. Seeing him with Eisley just melts my heart. He is just smitten with her. That girl already has him wrapped around her finger, and I have fallen in love with him even more now that we have her.

Eisley is a petite lady with strawberry blonde and blue eyes. She is finally able to wear most of her newborn clothes. She's just so tiny and and cute I love it. So far, she's very easy going and is happy almost always except for when she's hungry, tired, or has the hiccups. She HATES the hiccups and always makes sure to let you know about it. Haha! Oh, and she looks just like her dad. I love it. It's so fun (and weird) to see him when I look at her sometimes. 

Speaking of cute, here's a few pictures from the past two months so you can see why we are SO in love!

And by a few, I mean a ton. 

                              

I mean, can you even handle the cuteness? I barely can some days. She's the best.

 (That last picture was taken by my talented brother, Jake. You can see his work here.)

I'm really glad to be blogging again. I'm hoping to be able to not only share parts of my life, but to encourage other young mamas out there as I figure out this whole motherhood thing. I've been so encouraged by other moms, and I hope to be able to do the same! Thanks for reading :).

Happy Saturday!

Witnessing a Miracle (Thursday)

I spent last night in the hospital with my beautiful sister-in-law. She was in labor, and gave birth to my niece, and her second daughter, Cali Grace. I was SO happy that she allowed me to be in the room. I have never witnessed a birth before, and it was incredible.

I can't describe how beautiful it is to welcome a brand new little person into the world. It's shocking how she just seemed to appear into the world all of a sudden. God truly has given women an amazing ability when it comes to having babies.

So, I ran on about 2-3 hours of sleep all day, but it was worth it.

 Doesn't this little face make your heart just melt? I am in love.

And now, I must makeup for the hours of sleep I willingly gave up last night :).
