two months

My beautiful daughter Ashtyn,
You're now 2 months old. At your check up you weighed just over 9lbs and measured 22in long a huge improvement, yet you're still so tiny! I love you so much it's unbelievable how a person's love can grow with more children and not just be divided among them. You have brought something so new, wonderful, and unexpected to our family I haven't quite figured out a word for it but it, like you, is AMAZING! You've changed my whole world and everyone in it. The soft tone, touch, and look in your father's eyes; Law's need to talk to you, pray for you, and tell you goodnight; and Grey's oblivious lively manner, turning to conscious attentiveness when you are around -always wanting to hold and kiss you, his excitement over every move and sound you make -All these new things make me realize just how remarkable you are. You play a very important role in our family -one that, up until your birth, I did not realize we needed so much! I have been shown the importance of women in a way that I had not ever known, you've softened our hearts in a way we all desperately needed, you are such a blessing -especially to me! Thank you for coming to our family you are such a sweet note to end our childbearing years on! I hope you realize how wonderful you are!
Love, Mom

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?

I REALLY don't like it when.....

MOMS, YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS NEEDED! A few months ago I was in Walmart :P with three VERY small children. Law was being a very happy playful self -which is rare so I REALLY enjoy these moments. Not bothering anyone or anything just being happy, laughing, and playing  when an old man came around the corner and SH'd him harshly it caught him off guard he was scared and sad. I didn't do anything -not because I agreed with the man that he needed to 'SSHHH!!' but because I just didn't know what to do! I have regretted not saying something to that man ever since. We are a loud family and Law does have a big voice but he didn't need to do that it was rude and uncalled for. Today I visited that same Walmart for the first time since then and my boys were running around the cart as I was checking out -just being happy, not being destructive at all -and believe me I'd be the first to admit if they were being too rowdy -it's not uncommon. However this time, lik...

Our Trip to Texas

My eldest sister Diana moved to Texas last year with her six children who, since I spent time growing up with them, are like my little sisters and brothers! Now my other big sister Maria moved down there too! I love them all and miss them so much! Law and I had a chance to go and visit them for a whole WEEK! It was wonderful, so in this blog I am going to tell you a little bit about what we did, as well as tell you a little about my nieces, nephews and my big sisters! Since Maria was going to be moving down there she and Kennadee came to stay with us so we could all fly down together. I was so excited that someone was coming to see my new house that I went crazy cleaning everything! which didn't last long... I don't know if you can tell but those are tiny baby foot prints on my woodfloor -cute! We arrived in Austin where Diana and Aaron were waiting for us and drove to Hutto, where my two sistas now live! I love that the have water towers EVERYWHERE! We'll start with the k...
