Kylie Grace!!!
Better late than never right!?
Kylie Grace is now 16 day old. She was born July 17th at 8:44am I was in labor exactly 12 hours and 9 minutes. I pushed about 5 times in maybe 2 minutes and out came my perfect little girl! She was 7 pounds and 1 ounce, 21 1/4 inches long. Everything is 100% with her. Only thing is she is to small for all her newborn clothes, but were making it work! At our WIC appointment when she was 6 days she was 7lbs 4.5 oz, then her first doctor appointment at 11 days old she was 7lbs 8oz. She's gaining weight ok and I think she started a growth spurt early! ALL yesterday she ate constantly, now today shes fast asleep even if you move her all around!
She has been breastfeeding like a pro, and she's pretty good sleeping in her own bed so far. We've spent 3 nights in the living room. I was scared because I couldn't get her to sleep at all in the hospital in her bed, only in peoples arms! Oh and her brothers absolutly LOVE her! Eli loves to hold her and kiss her and protects her from Tiernan since he's accident prone! And Tiernan loves her most the time. He gets jealous and wants mommy time at least once a day for maybe half an hour. When he's hungry or wants juice he freaks if I'm nursing her though. Tiernan will come up to us and say "old er" and I bet you can guess what he wants to do!
Hubby has been a huge help since she was born too. I'm really lucky with my little family! The only issue is shopping. I can't do it alone with the kids, but Joe doesn't let me do it alone. He makes me spend to much money...We'll get into our grove soon, I hope.

T-minus 0
Today is D-day! For the last 9ish months (or however long I've know I was pregnant) I've been waiting for this day to come! July 12th, the magical day I'm DUE to have my baby. My baby girl, my princess, my first (and hopefully last) little girl. I've been waiting, planning, and getting ready for this day for 9 months! And here I am...It has finally come, and I am STILL PREGNANT!
I'm so ready to have this baby! My mom and I went to Wal Mart last night and bought some more little girlie things for little Miss Kylie Grace's arrival! My son picked out socks and an pink onsie, its the boys gift to her, I still need to get gifts from her to them. But this little girl is going to be spoiled, and oh soooo girlie! I can't wait.
After having two rough tough little boys I can't wait to get my hands on a girl! I have lots of hand me downs, garage sale, and brand new clothes for her. Most of which are the girliest things I could find! She has more pink that anyone I know, bows and hearts and headbands galore...and the thing is... I'm not even really a girlie girl! I NEVER wear dresses and hardly ever a skirt. haha oh well, I can live through my baby!
I have been telling everyone that Elijah was born in a thunder storm, I remember hear the thunder all the night while I was in labor for him, I think it stopped before he was born, but i still labored through it. And Tiernan was born during a terrible snow storm! My sister and dad drove up to see me going about 10-15 mile and hour in near white out conditions in a 4-wheel drive jeep! So I think Kylie will be born during a storm too.
Here's the thing... Tomorrow it IS SUPPOSED to be a thunder storm at like 1pm to 6 pm or something like that. While that works for me, and my mom who will get to be in the labor room with me (her boss is ok with letting her go when need be). it so does NOT work for my hubby! Im so scared I'm going to go in to labor after he leaves for work tomorrow! He will be making a near 6 hour drive to go to some Buddhist camp thing to service their septic type system, plus other places near there. Im scared if I go into labor while he's down there he might miss our little girl being born! I am very not ok with the thought of my husband not being there with me. I'm glad my mom will get to be there with me, but I need my honey too! Oh well I guess what happens happens, and I know he will try his best to get there, its just the thought. Plus I don;t even know if I'll go into labor tomorrow!
Worry worry worry!

one penny at a time...
I found a new website beruby.com thats pays you to go to other websites. All you do is sign up and when you go to the pages you normal would do so through the website. For example you can add facebook to your favorites and instead of going to facebook directly, you go to beruby first and go to facebook through there. You get a penny a visit, its not much but it adds up! I got a dollar just for joining. The website selection isn't huge but its beta so I think it might get bigger!
Everything helps no a days! And hubby can't say anything about me not working and being on facebook, because I'm getting paid for it now lol!
P.S. I'm still freaken pregnant! 5 days left :( I hope

Happy 4th!
Happy forth of July! Today Is the only day i DON'T want to have my baby! Every so many years I share my birthday with Thanksgiving and I hate it! I hate that my birthday is even close to Thanksgiving, I guess I just don't share well. But I don;t want my baby girl to have to share her birthday every year! So if I go into labor today I 'm hoping to hold off until tomorrow!
But so far so good today! My oldest son Eli is with his father at the parade, and tiernan is napping at home with me in the AC. Hubby is IN the parade with the fire department! For some reason he seemed excited about it, even though it really doesn't seem like his thing! I think Its seeing Eli get really excited as "daddy" passes by on the fire truck! My husband and my ex get along in person but Joe wants to be daddy and have my ex disappear! I wouldn't mind that either, it would make life easier, but its to late, it is what it is. Oddly enough, Elijah and his father are sitting with my sisters family, and my brother in law didn't get along with my ex to well at the end! As long as Elijah has fun and is happy, thats all that matters to me. The ex (Corey) doesn't usually take Eli two days in a row, but I'm feeling generous, he took him an extra hour yesterday, and then for the parade today, at least 2 hours. I even suggested that! Im so sweet. LOL
Im kinda happy I didn't have to go to the parade. I don't hate the parade, but I don;t enjoy it like others do. I have lived here all my life, except 2 years I lived an hour away and still came here for the parade, and its just the same thing every year. The music the bands play changes, the dances the 5 different studios do are different, but all the rest SAME! I was thinking of taking Tiernan by myself. But I don;t think he'll really enjoy it enough to miss his nap. Naps are very important to that little boy! So is his bunny! Which I'm going to go sneak in his room and steal so it can get washed. That thing is nasty!
But I guess I should get my rear is gear and get some dishes done, after bunny of course...priorities!
Well have a happy and safe 4th of July!

I want to be rich!
I signed up for swagbucks a while ago, and I have no idea what I'm doing... But I think I'll catch on with time. If anyone has any tips feel free to leave me a comment! I have the widget at the bottom of my blog to incase anyone wants to use it, feel free!
I had another good shopping trip this week. My dad took Eli wednesday, so Tiernan and I were left alone to get groceries. I had planned the trip all morning, and I don;t think I had any impulse buys, I stuck to my list. I spent $61 and saved $40. Go me! :) Not as great as my other trip but I can't complain.
I'd like to get lots of freezer dinners and easy stuff since baby should come any time now! I have 10 days left till D-day! I was up for an hour with contractions, but when they didn't change i just went back to bed. Still had some when I woke up but same as 2 am. False labor, but at lest it helps right.
But my sister had her baby last Sunday. Uriah Michael, 10:58, 9lbs 11oz. He's a big boy, but so sweet! I saw him later the day he was born, and then again yesterday for dinner at my sisters. Tiernan came down with a fever sunday and an ear infection, so we kept our distance 'till he was feeling better.
I'm getting impatient GET OUT KYLIE GRACE!
