Oh lord I think she idolizes Britney Spears
My daughter LOVES attention and apparently she's willing to go to Britney Spears (during her train wreck time) levels to get it! UH! At least she was wearing "underwear".

30. What is your song?
"When I say I Do"
Say it with me... I WLL DO Kegals!
Yeah so a kegal is an exercise you do to keep things "tight" down THERE. Well apparently i didn't do enough pre/post pregnancy... i'm still having issues. In order to do a kegal you're suppose to contract your muscles that you tighten when you're trying to stop yourself from peeing. Well i'll be trying my darnest to contract that stupid thing as i'm running to the restroom and it's umm just not what it used to be. Basiclly once i feel the need "to go".... i better do just that... b/c if i don't then i'm risking having an accident like a potty training two year old. Well not THAT bad but still!
So ladies when they say do Kegals, it's not just for your husbands "enjoyment" after birth... it's for your enjoyment of not having to worry about peeing your pants in public!

Dear Kinsley
Dear Kinsley,
Hey booger! I know Mommy hasn't written to you in a while, i've just been too busy bragging about you! Well you are three months old now and it takes my breath away by how much you've changed since you've come into my life! It seems like it was just yesterday that we were telling your grandparents they were going to meet you in 8 months! Now you're three months old!
I thought when you were born it couldn't get any better then that moment. Getting to hold you and cuddle you to sleep. You were always the happiest laying on my chest falling asleep. But then you started to smile and laugh and i felt like it couldn't get any better then that moment... until you started to want to stand and coo and sing with me! Every moment with you is so magical it makes my heart want to cry with joy.
Each day during the week i have to leave you to go to work and walking out that door nearly breaks my heart, but once i see you again i forget all my sadness and just get to enjoy that beautiful little dimple on your cheek! You're a magical baby, you bring so much joy not only to my life but many others! Thank you for blessing your daddy and i with your presence! We love you more than i can put into words and i can't wait to fall in love with your next "stage" in life!
Keep growing and smiling baby girl! Mommy loves you!
Love more then you'll ever know,
Mommy

3 months and here are your pics!
So i'm not going to do a lot of talking in this post... other then to explain a photo... so thank you for waiting patiently and here is Kinsley!
Well Kinsley tried out her Exersauser last week! Went really well!
Now this next one is for my Missy who claims I make Kinsley too frilly and she needs to wear blue jean more... so she is... it's not my fault that her jeans have bows and flowers on them!
Kinsley is still loving her playmat, she even tolerates tummy time on it!
I don't know why but i just LOVED Kinsley in this outfit... she just looked to cute!
Here's my big girl at three months old! WOW time is really flying by!
Kinsley has turned into a little ham lately... i think all the attention at daycare is going to her head! Lately it's hard to get to NOT smile... seriously,if you help her stand and give her kisses she is full of laughs and smiles! Here's a few we managed to get!

Mom haul and whip it out and squeeze!
So now that i'm back at work i look like a bag lady trying to get out of my house in the mornings! I actually have to make a trip to the car before i can even carry my child to the car! Here's what i have:
My purse, baby bag, lunch box (holds snacks and breakfast often), breast pump, and my "work bag" (with calendar, book for lunch, etc). I mean it's really out of control. So i told Chris ENOUGH! i'm getting a bigger bag to hold it ALL!
So i ordered this:
This bag will become my purse and work bag AND i can still fit my lunch box in there AND my pump on top... so i'll have to carry into work is this ONE bag! I mean i still have to bring out K's diaper bag from the house but that stays with her so~
Now onto breastfeeding:
This week in breastfeeding we're going to talk about my first FULL week at work and how that went. Well this ol' jersey cow did pretty darn good! I pumped three times a day (typically around 830, 1130, and 230) and each time i would get between 3-5oz! Now every day i would send Kinsley with 5 3oz bottles so you're thinking "Hmmmm Erin, you need 15oz a day pumped to feed that little parana, how did you do it??" Well first off even though i send her with 5 she really only ever eats 4 BUT the one day i don't send that 5th one SOMETHING will happen and she'll need it! SO i send 5 and the milk is still good the next day so that becomes her first bottle for the next day. Now I also always get at least 12oz at work! But i still pump in the mornings after i feed her too, where i get about 5+oz! So between all of those pumpings i get PLENTY for her and still have some left over to store!
So how do i do it you might ask? I whip it out and SQUEEZE! Seriously! I break these bad boys out of their confinement (in the privacy of the lactation room) and pump them to work! When they are crying for mercy and claim they are empty i squeeze and massage to get every last drop out. Now before you go thinking "This is HOT, she's massaging her boobs" it's hardly a turn on... Chris actually worries i think that i'm hurting them (like they have feelings! these suckers are just that! It's their job!)! So massage it all out ladies, then keep at it a bit longer to tell them to make more and wha la! Just like that you can make milk too!

I Wish i was more original but i'll give credit where it's due...
So I know you all worship my daughters diva status and wish you could be just like her but people, it's work! AND i didn't come up with it all on my own! I would still be roaming the pages of etsy if it weren't for my fellow bloggers! One mother that really helps me keep Kinsley on the up and up of style is Mrs. Foreste. She actually gets asked to review bows, etc for her daughter! How sweet is that! They even give her supplies for giveaways! I've entered a few but not won yet~
Now that i've shared my secret with you please do not leave me... i promise to put up more pictures as soon as i get my mommy brain wrapped around remembering my camera (got some GREAT shots last night)!
In the mean time though i've started a list to the right of some of my favorite blogs and websites so please enjoy!
