DECEMBER

Well I am on a roll for getting caught up!  There isn't a lot of detailed descriptions or dates, but pictures are on and we know what month it is!  I have to take it one step at a time:)

December...the most wonderful time of the year!  Hmmm I really do love it!  The cozy feeling, family, spoiling your kids, Santa, count downs!  I LOVE THIS MONTH!

Here are pictures and that's it!  Love you my darling family! It's been a wonderful year!  I'm glad we are a family!

NOVEMBER

This should have been put into last months category, but it's not and we should be grateful that it's documented at all!:)  Our Aggie pictures...

Gangsta girls

Believe it or not, this was the best one we could get!

And now onto November:

We blessed Paisley On November 4, 2012.  Greg did a wonderful job!  Paisley's dress, made by Grandma Candace was beautiful, and the soup and dessert turned out perfect.  It was a great day spent with my favorite people!

My heart is full as I look at these pictures!  I am so blessed!  I have been blessed with such a wonderful loving family!

I can't believe she is one month old! Still So tiny!  I love babies!

Next on our list of November activities:

McKinley loves throwing parties!  This was the last one before it got too cold outside!  She planned it and ran around collecting friends!  My little party planner!

Well I just can't stop!  Apparently I still feel the need to accomplish projects, cause I'm not busy enough:)  This project was to get Paisley's pictures on the wall STAT so that it would happen!  I also hung boxes on the wall to store the girls' things that need to go upstairs.  I didn't like looking at a pile of toys on the stairs all the time.  And this way...it's already sorted!  Talk about eye pleasing and time saving!

 After:  There is a family picture under Paisley cause I forgot to order her big picture, but now there is one of her in there!  I love looking at these beautiful girls as I go up and down the stairs!

 Here are my baskets!  They are a life saver!

I also decided to organize my crafts!  My mom cleaned out her craft closet and gave me a ton of stuff.  I needed to make more room so here are the results:

 After:  It looks better, trust me:)

 Christmas Tree Shopping at Harmons!  We did this at the end of the month!  The girls loved running through the trees to find our perfect one!

 We forgot to saw off the bottom half of our tree!  O-well, we'll see what happens.

 Cousin time!  They would hide under the cushions and 'scare' us!  So sneaky!

 Just another favorite picture of Paisley!  She is so fun!

 Paisley's first smile! November 15th! 8wks old!!!

 I loved November!  I couldn't believe how fast it went!  Look at my cute family!!!  My heart is full!

OCTOBER

Introducing...

Paisley Lyn Daly

October 1, 2012

6lbs 12 oz

19.5 inches

I sure wish I could cut and paste what was in my mind so I wouldn't have to write it all down!

This was by far my hardest pregnancy!  I thought, multiple times, during my pregnancy that she was going to come early.  Crazy contractions!  Turns out I went into labor on my own, but when we got to Ogden Regional Hospital they stopped.  Great.  Good thing we were scheduled for an induction that morning anyway.  So we stayed at the hospital and didn't have to go home!  I was in a panic though because she was breech.  She was fine on Friday.  Sometime during the week, and I don't recall when it happened, she decided to complicate things:)

I was worried that I would have to have a C-section.  My Dr. came and fixed everything.  It was really weird.  He gave me a muscle relaxer and grabbed my stomach and turned her.  It hurt, but according to Greg..."It was so cool!"  Nice honey:)  Glad you can be entertained!:)

More to come, but time to take care of that little miracle...

Alright I am being honest with myself...It is February!  And I am so behind EVERYTHING!  Not only that, but apparently having 3 children intensifies memory loss.  I have contemplated visiting my Dr. many times because I just don't remember things.  With that said, I hope I can write all this stuff down and not miss any wonderful details I wanted to 'remember' forever:)

After she turned they started my contractions.  My contractions had stopped (Shocker) so they wanted her to stay head down.  At this time the contractions weren't too bad so I just dealt with it.  After about an hour I decided to try an epidural.  Mine never fully work, but seem to take the edge off.  I needed the edge off!:)

So...the epidural took!  On one side...I was rolled over to try to get the medicine to work.  During which time my labor pains intensified and I was going to loose my breakfast all over Greg's feet.  Luckily I was able to take deep breaths and calm my stomach.  The nurses thought it helped to shove the oxygen mask in my face.  This only made me angry!  Get that thing OFF my face!  It was not helping calm me down that's for sure:)  finally after giving me another epidural, yes 2 shots!  It took completely just in time for me to push!  I have never experienced a pain free delivery before.  It was so weird to all of a sudden see my feet up in those lovely stirrups without feeling a thing!  CRAZY!

Now was the time to push.  I don't know what it is, but I always get so scared at this point.  Maybe cause I pushed so long with McKinley, I just don't know.  Anyway.  I pushed and...she was stuck.  The Dr. had to reach up and pull her out!  I am so grateful I couldn't feel any of this!!!  Then with one last push (and pull for my Dr.)  She was here!!! 

What an amazing experience!  I thought I was going to die!  Turns out I am blessed to live another day with another beautiful little girl!

McKinley and Kasidy love their little sister!  They still get so excited to see her when she wakes up from her naps!  They are great helpers!  I am so lucky!

What a cheese Kasidy!  She grew up over night!  She isn't a baby any more!  And McKinley is my huge helper!  She helps Kasidy when I am feeding the baby!  Thank you girls!

We took Paisley home the next day!  I thought it would be fine to come home so soon, but it turns out I think I should have rested just a little longer.  It's different coming home to zero children or just one little kiddo.  Facing two with a newborn has been a little different.  Easier than I thought, but a challenge just the same! 

She is so tiny in that car seat!

Welcome home Paisley!  We are so blessed to have you in our family!

Sleep tight!

On with our month!  Yes life just keeps going.  It doesn't stop to take a rest!  I am exhausted!:)

Here comes Halloween!  McKinley wanted to be Periwinkle in the new Tinkerbell Move Secret of the Wings.  Kasidy Wanted to be Tinkerbell!  SO CUTE!  And Paisley got to be a pumpkin for trick-or-treating and a little cocoon buttlerfly for the cousin party!

Kasidy is grumpy in the picture, but the girls had a blast getting free candy!

 Little Periwinkle!

 Little Tinkerbell!

 Little pumpkin!

 I can't believe it!  We look like a family now!  So many kids:)

 fun cousins!

McKinley singing at her Halloween program for Preschool!  She is the cutest one!

 Our fun neighbors made a hayride!  It was a neighborhood hit! 

And that is October!  Yeah!  I did it!
