Humble Pie

Wow Kids can really humble you. I was getting all excited and sort of cocky at the thought that MY child had spent TWO WHOLE nights in her bassinet! I thought we were on the road to bliss... yeah that was until two nights ago.

Night before last my darling daughter decided to start fighting off sleep like the men who fought at the Alamo... long and hard... she was not having any of it. I was trying for 3 (yes count them one two three) hours to get this child to sleep and she would NOT go... i was in tears. It sucked big fat hair... well no reason to be vulgar (YET).  In my upset i woke up my sick husband and cried for him to take a turn because i'm obviously a terrible mother... so what happens??? The baby whisperer himself shows up and puts her to sleep in 15 mins. I like to think i wore her down for him.... but right now i'm hanging my head in defeat.

Last night.... BAM like clock work the battle was on again! ANd who comes to the rescue again? Baby whisperer.... oh but my daughter is tougher then that... she's building up an immunity to HIM. He gets her to sleep and then when she smells me, WHAM, she's awake and crying. Seriously i don't know how she finally went to sleep last night... i think i just let her fall asleep on my boob.

So today as she lays napping peacefully in her swing i prepare to take my child out into this cruel world in hopes that she will kick and scream and stare all day in alert awakenness and then give in to sweet blissful sleep tonight...

Hey a girl can dream!

She's so amazing!

i want to tell you about last night... it involves a bassinet and a little someone... but since i don't want to jix us i'm not talking!

but just watching my little girl... even cry... is amazing. She's so skinny it's adorable (i mean she's a chunker weight wise but she's so long!)! It's just amazing to look at this cute little person and to know that she's mine and that she needs me. I hope you all get this amazing feeling one day... she makes everything worth it!

Aww the crying....

Well as Kinsley sits here next to my on Chris's lap crying i'm typing to tell you about it! That and to upload a really cute picture or two!

So for Christmas i gave my brother a shirt that says "Say Uncle" and Kinsley a shirt that says "I didn't do it, nobody saw me, i want to speak to my uncle"... see her Uncle Seph is a lawyer so i thought that was so creative of me... so we took a picture of her in it... it's a little big but still just as cute... here's the first and last photo from her shoot.... very different outcomes!





She's embaressed by her baby acne... she hates photos looking like this!

on her personality update... she still gassy... she's still sort of sleeping in our bed... i put her in her bed after her first feeding of the night... and she's still the cutest baby on the block!

these were supposed to go...

with the birth story but i forgot... oh well here they are now.

i love drugs and popcicles!

Chris waiting for some action

This is where K will go when she gets here!

WHOA! there she is!

it's truly a miracle i hope you all experience!

Guess who's one month

I know right... it happened so fast! I can't believe it's already here! Before you know it she'll be 3 months and i'll be back at work and then she'll be one and we'll be having a party and then 5 and in school and then 18 and graduated! UH i can't take it! It's just like yesterday when i was bringing this little blob of cuteness home and kissing her kissy lips and now she's one month old! MAKE IT STOP!

So here's a few photos of our photo shoot!

look at those chubby little Acne cheeks! She's so cute!

I did it... i left her!

With her G-ma for 3 and a half hours!!!! I pumped for her and everything and as a reward i got to go out and have some drinks! OH YEA~! Mama was a human again! let me tell you Mama was a light weight too! 3 beers and i was tipsy! YIKES!

Once we got back we relaxed with Chris's family and ate some pizza. Then i went upstairs to change Kinsley's diaper and on my way back down stairs what happens??? I fall... ALL the way down the stairs... HOLDING my CHILD! Yes I KNOW! I kept her on top of me so she was fine... i have some really nice bruises though! Luckily that's the extent of our injuries... Kinsley faith in my gracefulness is injured i believe. But at least she's okay and alive to doubt it.... VERY SCARY!

Visitors!!!

We were so excited to have our best friends come and visit Kinsley! They were on their way from North Carolina back to Minnesota and took a pit stop to enjoy New Years Eve with us! I have to say we weren't the most lively crowd... Chris put his best foot forward but i was well... about like K, sleepy!

Here she is with her Aunt Christina and Uncle Casey

Kinsley also was able to spend some more time with her favorite blog reader... her Uncle Paul... Paul is a BIG supporter of Breast Feeding!

Speaking of breast feeding..... it's going great! The nipples are toughening up and healing! And pumping is great too! I've started quite the little stash for Kinsley! I generally pump at least once every morning... sometimes more... rarely less. So that's exciting for me! My jugs are quite the producers!

Sadly Kinsleys beautiful complexion has been compromised by Baby Acne! It's a terrible thing... Chris keeps asking if she's going through puberty! Geezz~ Bless my child's heart, she's going through puberty AND has horrific gas because Mama wanted yogurt~
