First bath!

Alexis got her first real bath the other day. She did wonderful! She didn't cry at all. I think she is gonna be a water baby. She doesn't seem to mind the water. She sat in her tub like a big girl and sucked away on her fingers. I feel like shes getting so big already. We got her weighed on Friday and she was at 6lbs 11oz. Talking about weight. I've lost 23 pounds since having her. I mean most of that was baby, placenta and fluid, but its pretty good since I gained 39lbs during my pregnancy. Yesterday we went shopping for some new shirts for me. It was my mother's day present, and it felt good to buy myself something. Josh made me breakfast in bed as well. It was a nice relaxing day.

I'm excited! My sister flies in tonight! I can't wait. It's been a while since I've seen her. She's excited to get to meet her niece! We'll we have some errands to run before she gets here!

Busy Couple Days

It's been a busy couple of day. Tuesday we had Alexis's 2 week check up. She weighs 6lbs 10 oz now. She's getting so big, it's crazy. It's going so fast already. From the doctors we went to PSD to add Alexis to Josh's PG2 & DEERS. (Military stuff) After running to PSD, we went to the commissary and went food shopping the fastest we've ever done. We were in and out in no time. We came home and unloaded the groceries when we got the call that our car was ready. We had been driving a loaner until the car we purchased was shipped to the dealership. We picked up the car and came back home.

After coming home, we gave Alexis a bath and got her ready for bed. I fed her and went to go change her diaper... and noticed her umbilical cord had fallen off! So now we can give her a real bath! Today Alexis and myself hung out with Ashley for a bit when Josh went and got the 45 day base pass. After Ashley went home, Josh, Alexis and I went to Wendy's to get some food. I didn't feel like cooking... But its been like that since I've had Alexis. I can't wait for Monday, that's when my sister flies in! I can't wait. It's been over a year since I've seen her. Well Alexis should be waking up soon for a feeding, after her feeding, I'm heading to bed!

Its been a super long time.

Its been awhile, since I've last updated. But I figured I'd finally update. Since my last update, we found out we were having a little girl way back in December. We spent Christmas with Josh's family. We move into a beautiful base housing.


But the biggest thing is... we finally had our beautiful baby girl. She came on April 22nd 2010 at 11:24 am. Labor wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. I started having contractions on the 21st about noon time, well I had a doctors appointment that day at 2:15 and they checked me and I was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. By 10:30 PM I couldn't take the pain of the contractions which were still 7 minutes apart, but I called the doctors anyways and they told me to come in and get checked. So we made the trip to the hospital, thinking we were gonna get sent back home, but surprisingly they kept me there. I ended up getting my epidural at like 2 :30 am, and tried to get some good sleep. At 7:35 am they came in to check me and I was 6 cm dilated. They broke my water at 8:30 and i started pushing at 9:45 and had our beautiful baby girl 1.5 hours later. It was totally worth every pain and ache I had. We came home from the hospital Saturday the 24th and the fun begin. Josh and I are so happy to be parents, Josh is doing wonderful with her too. He is such a great daddy. Even tho i'm breast feeding he still gets up with me at night to keep me company. He even gets up when I'm sleeping and does house work. It's amazing. I still can't believe how wonderful being a mommy is. Its amazing to think that she was inside of me for 9 months.


Since she was born we've gotten a new car. Which i love by the way. I can actually drive it and its brand new :]. We got a 2010 Kia Forte Koup. My sister is gonna be coming to stay with us for like 2 months to see her new niece. I can't wait to see her. We also got the news that Josh wont be going to Virgina! We're both super excited about that! Alexis is doing amazing at home. She is such a happy and good baby. The only thing I got to learn is when to change her. Every time I change her, she poops like 2 seconds later. Its pretty funny. She doesn't cry much and I swear if I didn't wake her up to feed her at night, she would sleep right through. We go to the doctors tomorrow/today. I wonder how much weight she has gained since last week. She weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces when she was born, and when we left the hospital she went down to 5lbs 15oz, we had a doctors appointment last Monday and she had already gained back almost all of her birth weight, she got back up to 6lbs 4 oz.

Well I'm off to bed, tomorrow is gonna be a busy day for us!
