Elsa Louise at 46 weeks

My dear sweet baby girl you are getting more and more fun every week! Just when I think my heart is as full as it can be, you do something that makes it swell even more. My absolute favorite part of my day is watching you and your big brother and sister squeal and bounce to whatever music is on. You crawled for the first time on the 12th at Brianna and Caden's house. Daddy had the privilege of seeing that. Later in the week I was able to see you venture a few paces. It has been fun to watch your hair grown in so much more over the past few weeks. Those little tiny curls at the nape of your neck give me hope that you will have curls too. 

This was my first Mother's Day with you in my arms and boy did it feel great. You napped in lap during church and I soaked up every.single.second. Even though you can crawl you don't venture far from Mama. No rush on that sweetie, OK?  Your guardian angel was watching out for you on Sunday when one side of your baby swing fell from the tree. My heart sank when I walked out of the office and saw the swing all cock-eyed.  We are so grateful that you weren't hurt in the least since only one side came undone. We said goodbye to our puppy this week. You loved Conor and he was so patient to let you pull his hair. It was your way of showing affection I guess. :) Speaking of affection...this is what you do when you crawl over to Mama. Tug Tug Tug on my heart baby girl. It's what you do best!  Tooth number five popped through on the 16th. It's one of your top ones.

You are still getting up in the middle of night to nurse but I really don't mind as long as you go back to sleep right away. You prefer to lay your head on my shoulder versus laying in my arms. It's the only 'big girl' thing you do. Never forget I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

Love,
Mama

Cloth Diaper Details: The pink Flip cover strikes again. I've been really happy with the combo of a BabyKicks hemp prefold wrapped around a microfiber insert. Trim and SUPER absorbent!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
