5 Months Today!

Happy 5 Month Birthday Makayla! It really is amazing how quickly this time is passing by. I was just thinking back to pregnancy and how it seemed to take forever, and now it is just the opposite! I love watching my baby grow. She can now sit up unassisted for a few seconds, she can nearly roll over, holds onto her own toys and "talks" up a storm!

Makayla's Birth Story - Viewer Discretion Is Advised

I have been asked to share Makayla's birth story, so here it is!

First Easter = One Spoiled Little Girl

I remember as a child getting so worked up over holidays that the night before I could hardly even sleep; as I have gotten older that excitement has honestly faded. Makayla has really brought back that spark in me! As we approach each holiday I get a little bit more excited because it is her first and I can't wait until she is the one not able to sleep at night. As for her first Easter, yes she was too young to dye Easter eggs or go on an egg hunt, but it was a special one. Growing up our family wasn't huge on Easter gifts, just some chocolate and it stopped there. Don't get me wrong I loved it and never thought anything of it, but oh my was Makayla ever spoiled! Between Grandparents and Auntie, Makayla took home quite the haul! We are so blessed and thankful for having such a wonderful and generous family!

The Baby Bump

Ok, I will admit it - I miss the baby bump! While I was pregnant various mothers told me that I would, I always brushed it off and thought whatever. Clint asked me the other night if I was ready to do it all again. I looked at him like he was completely crazy; but a tiny part of my was screaming "YES"!

The Pain Machine

A married couple rushed to the hospital because the woman was in labor. The doctor asked the couple, "I have invented a new machine that you might want to try, it takes some of the labor pains away from the mother and gives it to the father." So the married couple decided that they would try it. So the doctor hooked the machine up and put it on 10% of pain switched from the mother to the father and then the husband said "I feel okay turn it up a lot more" so the doctor turned it up to 50% and the husband said "why don`t you just put it all on me cause I`m not feeling a thing" but the doctor warned them "this much could kill you if your not prepared", and the husband replied "I am ready "so the doctor turned the machine up to 100% but the husband didn`t feel a thing. They went home happy with pain free labor, but when they got home the mailman was dead on the front porch!
