So... it has officially been a year since I posted on this blog! {I even still have the same holiday theme since last year... yikes!} I thought I would be the best 'lil mommy & keep a daily log of our little family's comings & goings. Well, I failed! Oh-well! {I was spending more time with my family, right!?}
I can tell you that the last year has been SUPER BUSY! Gavin is busy working at Munns Mfg. in sales. He enjoys golfing, bowling, hunting, gaming & a variety of things that keep him busy! He seems to always have something going... whether it is smoking meat or watching the big game with some friends or family, he manages to keep himself busy. I have been trying to juggle being a mom, wife, business owner, designer, secretary & a housekeeper. My life is a little crazy & is keeping me frazzled! But I love it! We have been extremely blessed to have a home business that is working out well. I love it! Which brings me to our little daddy's girl, Kylee. She keeps me the busiest! She is a very active and curious 19 month old with a punch of attitude! She jabbers and tells stories all day long! I gave up on keeping track of all the words she now says because she says 2-3 new words everyday! She is into and on top of everything and loves to make a mess where ever she goes! Oh, she is a joy! I love how I can be working on everything all day long and the house looks worse by the end of the day and my inbox is fuller than it was in the morning and dinner doesn't even get made. Oh, such is life! :)
We wish you all a Merry Christmas! {I hope we still have some followers & they haven't given up on us!}
Until next year...
:)
Wow! What a year! Our little Kylee is 7 months old now & is crawling all over. She loves to get into everything and is a very curious little gal! She LOVES her tongue! It is always hanging out. She is very loud screamer, but is always happy. {Well, she does have some moments!} We love her so much! She is truly a blessing in our lives.
Gavin has been super busy with his many hobbies this year. He loves to go shed antler hunting all year long it seems like! He also loves to golf all summer. His new hobby is bowling. He has been in a few leagues this last year & loved it! He is getting pretty good & even wins money occasionally! The newest adventure has been his new calling... Executive Secretary in the Bishopric! {I think he might have to give up a night of bowling for it!} He also loves being a dad & being the 'entertaining' parent.
As for me, I am trying to juggle being a full time mom, full time wife & a full time {+} business owner. It has been a challenge, but I am very grateful to be at home with my baby. I do need to find me a few hobbies in my spare time though. {Besides facebook & blog-stalking!} I love my job! I love designing fun things for people and I am thankful that it can provide an income too!
We hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas & a Fabulous New Year!!
Love, The Wellings
Kylee Anne was born on Saturday, May 22nd 2010 at 4:12 pm. She was 7 lb 6 oz and 20 in long.
The story...
Thursday night I had a massive headache... it was still there on Friday morning. So at noon I finally went to the doctor to see if I was ok because we were watching my blood pressure because of preclampsia. I really was planning on going to Salt Lake with my mom, but that never happened. Instead I was sent home to get my stuff & to at the hospital in an hour. So I drove myself to the hospital & Gavin met my there from work.
I was induced on Friday at 2:30 pm. I basically "hung out" all evening. I finally started having contractions around 10:00 pm. So they gave me some pain meds & sleeping pills and put me to bed. My doctor came in at 4:00 am and said I was only a 2 & broke my water. By 8:00 am I was a 4 and in pain! I had to wait an hour for my epidural because they were so busy. {That was the worst part!} at 12:30, I was a 10! The had me wait an hour to start pushing.... but it was really almost 2 hours. I started pushing at 2:00 & Kylee arrived at 4:12 pm. I pretty much zoned out for a lot of it & could not tell you much of the details. The cord was wrapped around her neck twice & she was posterior {face up instead of face down}.
Grandma & Grandpa Munns were out in the hall waiting for her arrival & were the first visitors to great her. After we were moved up to the Mother/Baby unit, Jamie & Tyson came to visit as well as Grandma & Grandpa Welling & Great-Grandma Welling.
We spent all day Sunday in the hospital, with visits from Uncle Brady & Aunt Erika, Uncle Casey, Uncle Ryan, & Uncle Jordan and Grandma & Grandpa Munns. We were released on Monday and sent home!
When she was 4 days old, Kylee had high biliruben levels. She was put in a bilibed with the bright blue lights to treat her jaundice.
