Whitney's Wedding

Saturday, The 27th we traveled to Monterey for my childhood best friend, Whitney's wedding! Cydney was her flower girl (Cydney a flower girl!? Imagine that!) and the wedding was beautiful. It was held at the "Butterfly Church" in Pacific Grove. I felt very blessed to be able to be part of Whitney's special day. I can't believe it's been 10 years since she stood beside me as my maid of honor at MY wedding!! We were the best of friends growing up and it is awesome that our friendship has lasted through it's highs and lows for over 17 years! Here are some pictures from the wedding and some that took me down memory lane!

Its been a while!

Wow! It's amazing how time flies when you have a newborn!!! Needless to say things have been a little crazy around our house lately!

Baby girl is now 2 weeks and 4 days old! She had her 2 week checkup on Wednesday and weighed in at 7lbs 13oz! She gained a whole pound in one week!! She's my little piggy! Everything else was great except her cord STILL hadn't fallen off.. it was beginning to stink but I'm proud to report that as of about an hour ago she now has a Belly Button! Yay!! She has become a bit colicky the past week. She just SCREAMS for no reason at all for a few hours when we're wanting to go to bed. Usually starts about 10pm and can last a few hours. I've tried all the "home remedies"... Swaddling... Gas Drops... Gripe Water... but they have all been no help. :( I feel so helpless! Moo and Sweet Pea never had it this bad! Needless to say it's making mommy VERY tired!

I'm healing pretty well! My steri strips came off Tuesday and I barely have a scar! Now to get rid of this extra skin... ;) Slowly but surely! I can't start exercising for another 6 more weeks. I'm still in pain but everyday gets better. I can def tell when I overdo it. Which is probably more often than not.

The Big Sisters went to their Grandma's this past week since Sweet Pea is "off track" for the month of December. This was a nice break for Mommy and also allowed me to get some Christmas shopping done! (aka overdoing it!) Hubby and I enjoyed some nice alone time with Baby Girl without the "Vultures" hovering! (Moo and Sweet Pea)

We have a busy couple of weeks coming up that include the Girls Christmas program on Dec 20/21 at church! Sweet Pea has a lead role and solo! They are both so excited for this! Sweet Pea also has her school Choir Christmas program on the 18th!

Last weekend was also "Cunkle Joe's" wedding! The Girls were flower girls and Hubby was a groomsmen. The wedding was down in Tulare since Auntie Kk is from Bakersfield. So this was baby girls first "road trip", time in a hotel, and wedding all in one! It was long a drive that involved a nail in our tire and an hour at a tire shop in Fresno. But the wedding was gorgeous... the girls did great... and Baby Girl was an angel! And we're so happy to have welcomed Auntie Kk into our family!!! Now they need to hurry up and move closer to us!! Here are some pictures from the event!

Wedding!

My Daddy got married this past Saturday. It was truly beautiful and I'm SO happy for him. He deserves to be loved and happy!! I'm so thankful that God brought someone into his life that is perfect for him and for our family. We're so blessed!
