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!
