Take me out to the country.....

So I guess summer time is the time for solicitors to go to peoples door.. I absolutely HATE it... We had about 4-6 people come by but thats way more than enough for me! UGH!! See why i want to go out in the country.. I happen to be one of the unfortunate people thats home all day (along with a few neighbors) so they are going to bug me of course.. A lady swing by collecting names..... for what?! i don't know..... working for a company(Edward Jones or something like that) thats going to be opening in town soon.. but why do you need my name?? my sister happened to be at the door when this lady stopped by and got her name and address so i assume that they are going to be sending out mail, i figure i can just throw it away if i don't want it instead of making a big deal asking her why she wants our info.. So yea, I hope to find a place out in the country where I can have my peace and quiet and PRIVACY.. I want to be able to walk around in just a t-shirt and not wonder if my neighbors can see me through the window.. Thats how we lived at my dads house except I don't plan on walking around the house naked like this one person whose name will remain anonymous on here. You know who you are!!! LOL
I need to look for those... NO SOLICITORS stickers for my door!! I need one!

On a less venting note, I weighed Kylie yesterday and she weighs 9lbs and 2oz!! I was not expecting that... I'm afraid she is taking after her mama... have no problem gaining weight... Too bad its not the other way around for me.. :)
Off to do stuff.... Have a good one!

Another reason why I should be thankful...

Thankful that my 2 kids are healthy! Thankful for my sister-in-law and mother-in-law for bringing vaccination to my attention before Carson's 2 months shot.. Thankful that God lead us to the right direction for how we should raise our kids. Thankful that Kylie is off to a great start!! What are you thankful for??

My heart goes out to this family...

Click on the word 'family' above and you will see why..

I'm back.. and what do i say?? i don't know!? Kylie is still sleeping a lot and nurses a lot during one setting.. She does tend to wake up right when i want to go to bed.. so last night i didn't hit the bed till 3am.. Good thing she sleeps in too instead of waking me up early am.. She does wake up in the middle of the night to nurse but i am able to go back to sleep when she nurses.. I decided to put size Large diapers on her.. hopefully that will work out better for us.. I'm glad i didn't make 30 mediums.. that would have been a lot of time put into only 2 weeks of wearing size med. diapers.. but unfortunately, i only have... maybe 12 or 13 larges.. oh well!! i'll have to get back to sewing soon! She is very good at pooping and peeing while i change her diaper... already got poop on the floor a few times... thank goodness for carpet extractors!! AND she spits up a lot.. almost more like throw up a lot.. Wish i knew what was causing that... that is already getting old as its a mess to clean up, and clothes changing for both kylie and i.
I have chicken i need to cook, bag and freeze to make future cooking time easier.. I made hamb. meat on Sat to do the same.. bag and freeze... Now i need to make patties and freeze those.. So i should be off of this and do that before my meat gets old in the fridge.. Its been kinda a challenge with 2 kids even when Kylie sleeps a lot!! I'm not sure what it is yet but i will get my stuff figured out and learn how to adjust it all with 2 kids.. I thought i was doing good but when you haven't made it to Hy Vee in 3 days... something is wrong.... Although i did go to the fair today, guess i could have made it to hy vee but it was pouring down rain and alex had the grocery list on him.. he went to wal mart while i was at fair with my mom and kids. (2 of my cousins were in the talent show today so i wanted to watch that.. one of them was playing the guitar and singing a country song.. he did awesome! I want Carson to learn how to play the guitar.. Too bad his mom and dad don't know how to play the guitar.. Guess we will have to do lessons with someone that teaches music... not sure if the music square (with beth) is still around these days?? anyone know?)
ok off to do the meat! Have a good one!

quick update

I thought i'd get on this real quick.. Everything has been going good.. Looks like tomorrow or Wed. will be my first time on my own with 2 kids. pray for me! I know it will be fine but who knows what Alex will be up to when he gets home from work. He'll either get to relax or get to do housework. We'll see! Kylie is such a great baby! Very content! She sleeps A LOT! I even get to sleep at night time, only get up a few times to change her diaper. We both still wake up soaked. She's soaked at the diaper and i'm soaked somewhere else.. :) And I also soak Kylie too as well.. Poor girl! So shower/bath has been a morning thing for Kylie and I. I haven't been in the mode to type up my birth story.. I typed it but cant seem to word it the way i want it to be.. I'll keep working on it sometime.. I think i will email the birth story instead of posting it on here.. I believe I will be posting some personal stuff on that as there was some personal things happening while in labor and during my 2 pushes to get Kylie out. So its not really something i want out in the public. Also announcements is on the list to to do with thank you cards.. I need to take pictures of Kylie. She is still changing and looking different. Her eyes are not so swelled up, still bloodshot but the eyelids is looking normal now. Soo yea, maybe thats something i should do on Tuesday and Wednesday. Do pictures, announcement cards and thank you cards before that gets carried away and too late to send out. Well i should hit the bed.. i'm tired!!

New Momma.... again...

The past few days has been going good.. Carson is taking it better than we thought he would be. He loves to kiss Kylie and rub her head.. We just have to be careful with him not putting his body weight on her.. Kylie is a VERY content baby, which i'm very thankful for! She only cries when she wants to nurse.. She is a great nurser and yes it hurts too but I'm starting to get used to that.. My body is slowly healing.. Uterus contractions is getting better and not as painful.. My back is hurting and getting headaches here and there.. Hopefully in a few days i will be back to normal and back to my normal daily routine. Of course i will have to learn how to adjust my routines with two kids now.. I have pictures uploading so i'm sitting here waiting on pictures to post on here... I started to type the birth story the other day and havent got back to it yet.. guess i will do that now... I am back... about 5 hours later.. Got pictures on the computer now.. I will post a few here in a minute. Alex and Carson are out right now and kylie is sleeping, and i'm sitting here loading pictures and enjoying cheesecake from Tami.. yum!
New news... we bought a van yesterday.. well not NEW but new for us.. I think we are going to really like it! We all took a ride in it last night and i forgot to take a pic of Kylie's first car ride.. grr! But i havent drove it yet.. It needs a good cleaning in the inside.. I hate how ppl sell dirty vehicles... but at least he took our offer on it.. :D

Its a Girl!!!

Kylie Luanne was born at 4:45 pm at home on July 12th. 7lbs 12oz, 21 inches. Bigger than I had expected.. I told Alex to weigh her again b/c I thought the scale was off but turn out to be the same after 3 times. lol.. I thought she was a 6lb'er. Carried her smaller than Carson and she even looks smaller than Carson when he was born! Maybe its just that its been too long ago that I forgot.. :) Anyway, I hope to get a birth story posted on here sometime this week. Had an interesting ending.. we ended up not lighting the candles from Blessing Way celebration(I did have on my labor necklace the whole time!) or videotaping it... :( It all happened to fast at the end!! I even had her over the toilet too!! I had the bedroom(video camera and bed) set up to have her on the bed but the bathroom was my favorite place to be.. which turned out to be a good thing b/c it was easier to clean the floor in bathroom than bedroom carpet.. Again.. i will post that stuff on my birth story for more further explanation.. but i'm having uterus contraction pains so need to get off this chair.. Kylie is sound asleep on the boppy pillow around me.. She's making it all easy at the moment! :)
I only have one picture of Kylie on the computer.. We will have more posted another time.. Her face is looking better today, not so bruised or swelled up like yesterday so.. hopefully we get some good pics of the kids today.. Wow.. i can say KIDS now... too weird! I thought i'd be saying... BOYS instead... its ok, Kylie is a perfect addition to our family and we couldn't be more proud! Daddy is so happy its a girl!! He was hoping for a girl ever since we found out we were pregnant but assumed it was a boy just b/c i thought there was a higher chance for a boy but I'm proven that theory is not true.. You know how they say, if you want a boy, conceive when you ovulate and if you want a girl, conceive a few days before you ovulate.... I know my cycle well!! Its whatever God gives you!!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts while I was in labor!

today????

maybe... :)
