The month of June

The month of June has been amazing! My fabulous daughter was born and it's been the fastest month of my entire life. It's hard for me to believe that this Wednesday Avery will officially be 1 month old. It seems like yesterday that I was saying I was pregnant! It's just crazy how time flies. It makes me sad how quickly they grow up... Today I had Avery in her little lamb onesie that my best friend got her and it's already getting tight on her. I got teared up while putting her in it this morning thinking this could be the last time she was in that adorable brown and polka dot onesie! They are so darn cute in those onesies!

So this month we have been so busy getting adjusted. If there was one word I could say about having a baby, it's "Adjusting"... It's amazing how you can go from a normal life of you and your husband to a baby in the blink of an eye. I can see how it's hard on some woman, even me at times, because you wake up to something completely different and have this life that you are responsible for and you just worry! I find myself doing the strangest things and thinking to myself, "Wow, I am really a mommy now"... the worry I have, the sleepless nights because I stare at her a BILLION times after I lay her back to sleep. It's nuts! Chad always has to pull me back down to bed and to tell me to stop, that she is fine. It takes us hours, literally, to get anywhere. I have to think about feeding schedules and plan everything out just so. If we have to be somewhere at noon and it's early morning I literally have to plan out how many times I will need to feed before we leave and plan accordingly right before we walk out the door! I have a running list of things in my head to pack in her bag each day and I clean bottles like no one's business. Not to mention changing those diapers... no one ever told me that they potty THAT many times, ha! But let me tell you, I wouldn't change my life now for anything in this world. Having this baby has touched me in so many ways, changed my heart, and made me love life a billion times over again. I love the restless nights (sometimes) and love that every minute of my day is around her. It's my job and I want to do it to the fullest! So on the Avery front, she is starting to move her arms and legs and wiggle a ton. She stares at me alot and I make lots of noises with my mouth and stick my tongue out her often. They say at this stage they really notice those things so I am doing them all the time! I talk to her like a human and tell her every little thing I am doing during the day from "Mommy is changing your stinky diaper" to "Mommy is a hot mess right now and feels like poo poo"- hehe! She's my girl so I want her to know everything even though she isn't taking it in yet. We sing, have tummy time, and just hang out and enjoy life! She loves riding in the car, loves the noise of the hairdryer (white noise), and boy loves her DADDY! She just stares at him, it's the cutest thing. I love looking at her eyes because I see Chad everytime I look at her....

So this last week was full of events! We had Bree's Bash on Friday night. It was a party for one of our friends Rachel that is having her 3rd baby. It was the coolest idea to have a party rather than a shower since it's her 3rd. It was amazing, Tara did the greatest job! Bree's room is in chandeliers, and the walls are turquoise.. the bedding is black and white, and then all accents are red, hot pink, & turquoise! Her dust ruffle on the bed is tool like in tutus. It's just adorable! So the party was decked out in those colors and just so much fun! CONGRATS to Bree, her and Avery will be a few months apart so Rachel and I plan on them being besties!


































































Avery in her lamb onesie the last time! ;(

Sunday night was the fireworks at the cross at our church. It was amazing to say the least. There were 117 people that were baptized and over 5,000 people there. We got to see so many of our friends and just had a great time! My brother, Tiff, and some of all our friends Tommy & Christa and their sweet kids all went together. We had blankets and chairs and just vegged and hung out for hours until the show began. The fireworks were beautiful, I had chills and almost cried. I am still emotional and hormonal after the baby so I am touched very easily. It was just amazing and touched me so much to see the beauty of the crosses lit up. WOW!

This week is low key until Friday. My parents are having a huge 4th of July bash at their house and it's kind of a post 30th BDAY party for my brother and his wife Tiff too! So we are just having a ton of friends, lots of food, family, fireworks, etc... they live on the lake so they big firework show that is right off from their dock so it's a fun show! We are pumped! Avery's outfit is in the making- can't wait to show you.. I am working hard on it! ;)

Hope everyone has a good rest of the week, I hope to get to post again soon, I have just been one busy momma lately! HUGS!
