A very special Mother's Day!

Oh what a very special day! Having a sweet baby girl of my own has given me a deeper appreciation of this special day. I'm not only very blessed to be a mommy but have had two wonderful role models that I hope I can be half as wonderful as- my amazing mom and my sweet mother in law. My mom has taught me so very much but what I love the most about my mother is how she always looks for the positive no matter the situation. It doesn't matter what or when she never sees negative and is always so uplifting. My mom is so very selfless and has always put her children first. She is always scarficing something for us. She is my biggest cheerleader and is so proud of me no matter what. Thank you for everything you have done and conitnue to do for me and our family mom- I love you! And not only do I have such an amazing mother- I was extra blessed with a fabulous mother in law. My MIL has raised such a wonderful man, my husband. Im forever grateful in the values she instilled in him. My Mil has welcomed me with open arms and treats me as part of the family and another one for her daughters. My favorite thing about my Mil is her servant heart. She is such a women of the Lord and constantly inspires me to be a better women, and wife. She does so much for her family and is their rock. I hope and pray I can be half of the wife, and mother these two amazing women are. They love our sweet Kiley and have been such a help these first few weeks. We love y'all!

Now onto me ;) what a very special day Lewis and Kiley made this day. I woke up to 2 flower bouquets- one from Lew and one from Kiley and Lady. There were cards with both of them and they were so very sweet. My in-laws were in town for a rangers game and stopped by in the morning to love on Miss Kiley. Lew and I headed to church as a family and then went to lunch. After lunch, I took a fabulous nap while Lew watched the baby. We ended the night at Mi Cocina with the in-laws. It was just perfect! 

On to what makes me a mommy- Miss Kiley
I can't believe she is 2 1/2 weeks already. I feel like she is already getting so big. We had her 2 week pediatrician appointment and she is just perfect! She weighed in at 7.7. So she is gaining exactly the perfect amount of weight. The Dr checked her out and everything was great. We go back in 2 wks for her 1 month. We are still figuring out her schedule. I'm such a Type A but learning to go with the flow. I'm currently letting her wake up on her own and let me know when she is hungry. As of the last week and half she eats about every 4-4 1/2 hrs a day. At night she will go around 5 hrs. According to baby wise I should be feeding every 2-3 hrs but I figure if she isn't hungry why feed her sooner? So anyhow, we are still working on a schedule. She nurses around 12-15 mins total and then I'll pump around 3-5 ozs after each feeding. I definitely feel like Elsie the cow! And the milk is taking over Lews deep freeze for deer meat- ha! 

Things she likes:
- LOVES looking into mirrors (not vain at all- ha!)
- raising her head while we are burping her
- Bath time. It's more like spa time for her bc she gets sleepy in the tub
- to be held
- snuggling on my chest
- watching movies with daddy
- the vitamin supplement
- nursing- she gets so noisy and chugs- ha!

Dislikes:
-Sleeping in her pack n play, she would much rather be sleeping in her bouncer
- getting her clothes changed
- dirty diapers
- being swaddled

Overall, we have a very happy and easy going baby! We are so blessed!
