My little Lainee bug is getting so big! So bittersweet. I am not a big fan of rushing the first shots, especially with a preemie.....the poor girl doesn't even have meat on her thighs yet. So I don't have any stats, but she is growing......slowly. She reminds me of Jaycee with everything! She is a noisy eater, sleeper, pooper, burper, hiccuper, she grunts and stretches and moans and groans all day and night long. She gets the hiccups every time she burps cuz she is stretching and making noises. Not a big eater though, I think it bores her. Complete opposite of the last two chunks. I think she is mad at me for not nursing her anymore, a milk strike :) She is only eating 2-3 ounces still, our chunky cousin Christian is up to 6 oz and barely makes it 3 hours. I am on the tail-end of pumping only twice a day since I started back up with work this week. I usually don't have a hard time emotionally giving up nursing, but with this being our last, I am having a hard time letting go of it. I don't get emotional much, but this little sweet baby has got me quite a few times. We both are sad but doing well with the change. She does well at night.....only waking up once for a bottle, doesn't cry much but we still get in some serious quality time with changing diapers, waiting out the darn hiccups, and burping. She sleeps with me (bad habit, I know) but as long as we are getting sleep I don't mind. She has a clogged tear duct so her eye is really goopy all the time. Finally graduated from newborn clothes and diapers and we have moved on the the 0-3 month clothes.

I turned the big 29 last week and while Joldy and I were out for dinner Nickole watched ALL 4 kiddos and was able have the girls help her make this fabulous (Jo Jo was the sprinkler if you can't tell) cake and homemade cards that each of them wrapped themselves. So priceless ;)

Aynslee is killing me lately with her vocabulary. A few of the latest fav quotes: "you not my best buddy anymore", "dad, can I play your ipad" "you need your phone to text?" "mommy....I your favorite" "I don't want to be big!"

SSSOOOOO....my poor sister Halley who is pregnant with twins...................IS STILL PREGNANT! She will be 37 weeks tomorrow and is measuring like 54 cm. YIKES! She is pretty miserable, I feel for her. So when she finally does have them I will post:)

Lainee's Newborn Photoshoot

Utah Cheer Trip

The girls had another competition in Utah this last weekend. There were at least 10 teams in each of their divisions, Jayc took 4th and Sis took 2nd. I must say it was smoldering hot in that gym and way too many people! I ended up taking the layers I had put on Lainee off because it was even too hot for a baby. Joldy took one for the team and joined me on this competition. I usually have him stay home with Aynslee, but we made it a family effort.

Jaycee is so competitive and forgets to smile because she is trying to do such a good job, but this time she smiled the whole time and enjoyed herself.

We are F-A-M-I-L-Y

It is a such rare occasion to have the WHOLE family get together, but we did it. It is so fun for all the cousins to get to play with eachother, but most of all, MY SISTERS!

The growing number of grandkids totaling 11...........and all of the sisters. We were not so happy cuz 2 of us just had babies and 2 are pregnant, so the chubby sisters ;)

While the adults were playing games, Sicilee got a scrape on her leg and the girls played doctor. We were impressed with the amount of band-aids and neosporin they used.

While the girls played doctor, they boys were interested in the nintendo DS. Girls will be girls and boys will be boys I guess.

Halley's twins are being tough and hanging in there. They did better on the stress test and one even turned head down so the docs are thinking she might not have to have a c-section. She is measuring 45 cm! YIKES! The babies had a big growth spurt and are both nearing the 6 lb mark. WHHAAHOOO.

Cousin Love

Introducing Christian James George.............weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz and 20.5 inches long! What a chunky big boy :) He towers over my little Lainee. He was born January 31 via c-section after laboring for 12 long hours with no epidural.......poor Nickole! He looks just like Roman but with brown hair and brown eyes. He is such a sweet boy.

This is as close as Joldy is going to get with having a boy.........being a good uncle:)

My little Lainee bug is changing so fast, and we thought she was getting big until Nickole brought her baby to my house so we could be on maternity leave together! Then she didn't look so big.

So at six weeks difference in age, Lainee is still the runt.

Christian's first bath.............yes poor kid in a pink bath and he hangs out in a pink bouncer all day. He is SUCH a good baby! Doesn't make a peep and eats like a champ (poor Nickole.... although she does produce a bigger dairy then me! Her first pump after her milk came in was 13 ounces....WHAT?!) Yes, my house is literally a dairy now..haha.

Halley's twins are at 35 weeks and I am so thankful that she has kept them in this long. She is pretty uncomfortable and one of them ,sadly, is not passing the stress test. She has a doc appointment tomorrow and if her heart rate is still too high then they will take them c-section tomorrow night. So yes, 4 BABIES. We are all CRAZY! Also, my baby sister Chelcey just announced that she is preggers and due on July 11! Chelcey's baby will make 14 grandbabies...whew we are such busy little mommas.
