Night-time Blessings

For the past three nights, Arilynn has only gotten me up once! I've been feeding her about 11:30 and she hasn't been getting up until about 5. Now, that still is a ridiculous hour, but I'll take it! She's a good little girl! Of course, after she gets up, then she eats & eats & eats & eats...she has her Daddy's appetite. Hopefully, she'll have his genes of staying thin too!!!
She's still a cutie!!!!!!! Hope to get more pictures on here soon, but seriously, how many pictures do you want to see of her sleeping?!?!?

Happy Labor Day!

This was my official due date...so glad that's already over with! Arilynn is such a wonderful little blessing and Wesley & I couldn't imagine life without her!
She's trying to decide whether she wants to go back to sleep.

Aunt Debbie is here and is wanting to go shopping and do some spoiling! Mommy here says, "Let's go!"

1st Sunday

So, I'm a little prejudice...

Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?

Hopefully, this doesn't make me a bad mother, but she's already managed to find her thumb! I figured it would be a little more humane to take a pacifier away than to chop her thumb off...guess she's taking after her mommy. I always had to have mine.

Home Sweet Home

A little about our hospital stay...So, I was told that no one received an award for not taking an epidural. I wanted to see how far I could go and was doing pretty good! I could tell I was having contractions, but it didn't hurt. Thought, "This isn't so bad." Then the doctor came in and broke my water! I literally thought I was going to die!!!!! :) I asked him how long he thought it might be before it was too late for the "lifesaver." He said you can never tell, but he said he guessed maybe 3hrs. I decided I couldn't take it that much longer and went for it.

Well, to make things short and not giving out great details, I had her before the epidural started working!!! She decided she wasn't going to wait and the nurse ended up running down the hall for the doctor. She arrived about 45 mins after my water broke. I didn't know things were moving quite so fast and I figured when the doctor came in I had a long way still to go. NOPE! He quickly donned his apparel and Arilynn Grace made her presence into the world.

Wesley first experience changing a diaper. :)
Putting on her first sleeper...which she got lost in.



Ready to go home in her stylish car seat that Nana Bailey made.
Wesley bringing her in the house. (Excuse the cleaning supplies).
She likes her Mommy's old bed.
Daddy comes home from work and quickly finds her to snuggle.
This is her favorite spot! She loves to lay against her Mommy.
