Rylee's Blessing day

We wanted to wait to bless Rylee... at least 3 months. So we decided September 25th would be the day.. And it was a good day :) Rylee was such a happy girl all day, so smiley and so sweet.. Oh man, I love this girl sooo stinking much! It was a small event, we didn't invite our whole families... because they are very large haha So it was just grandparents and siblings, but it was perfect. Gentry gave our daughter the most beautiful blessing... Everything he was saying was just perfect. He was so nervous though, afterwards he took her darling (clean) blanket and wiped his whole head off because he was sweating like CRAZY! I felt bad. Rylee was so quiet and content through the whole thing... didn't make a peep. My father-in-law said she was just staring at her daddy... She loves him so much! We're so lucky to have him... He's such a good dad and husband, and what a great feeling it is to have that priesthood holder in our home always. He is the best!

Check out this princess :) Grandma Ayah gave her her blessing dress.. it was beautiful on her. Thanks Ayah!







The dress was a little big on her... but it was still cute!


My mother and mother-in-law helping with alot of the food along with my wonderful sisters. Could not have done it without all of their help!





I love my family!





Dad, stop teasin' me!


Happy Blessing Day Rylee girl.. We sure love you lots!

HELP...

Some days I need some. But what's new! Ha!

Speaking of help..... What a good show, The Help. From what I saw anyway! Rylee was not a very good girl in the movie theatre tonight. I have taken her to a movie before and she did great, so I thought "oh she'll be fine....." nope. I was so excited to see that show too. My sisters and mom and I have been waiting for weeks so we could all get together and go see it, and I spent most of the time in the hall. Love that little Rylee girl so much, but tonight we did not like eachother very much. haha But from what I saw it looked so good, so I might just go and read the book now instead.

Other then that, life is going pretty good.. I can't complain! Gentry and I work opposite schedules, he works in the morning and I'm in the afternoon, and then when I come home he leaves to go to the gym and then to play a couple games of softball so we don't see eachother very much, but we manage to go on one date a week, so that's good right?! haha

I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want to give up breastfeeding or not... I have been pumping since I've been back to work, and it is so hard. I pump every 3 hours, I take my pump to work and pump in the closet and it is so annoying. It wouldn't be annoying except my milk supply is not even close to what it use to be, so we're giving her formula every other bottle if not more, so it sucks, I don't know if it's worth it or not! It stresses me out more then anything and I feel like it might be better if I just quit. But I am not a quitter!!!! Who knows though... I'm doing everything I can to build my milk supply and nothing is working... See what I mean, I keep fighting myself on this one.... It will work out.

Gosh, I think this whole post has been of me venting..... I'm kind of negative nelly today.. sorry! On the more possitive note :) Rylee is great!! Bestest baby ever. She has started the whole faking cough thing... it's pretty funny. She is going to be the biggest drama queen, and I love it.. She is already so sassy! From the day she was born. She is always moving the crazy thing... if i set her down to change her diaper, she scoots away. She'll scoot around the whole room if I let her. I thought babies were suppose to get alittle bit older and bigger to always want to be going places and moving themselves around??? She is one crazy girl... I love her though :)

A lot of my very close friends are having babies or have already had babies this year, so it's so much fun to think that Rylee is going to have some friends to play with...

My sisters Jamie and Noell both had baby girls recently, Whitley Jo who was born just 3 days after Ry, and Jamie's little 6 toed girl (seriously! she has 6 toes) Elise Carolyn was born just a couple weeks ago.

My friends Kenzie and Megan from work had darling little boys Holden Mark and Hayden Tyler... Who some day will hopefully take little Rylee girl on a date when she's older ;) and Danielle who is due in December with a baby girl... So excited for her!

Amber's darling little Lillie was born in May... who we still have not met :(

Rylee's bestest friend Bentley Mae Melton was born a week before Rylee. Proud parents Lindsey and JJ. JJ is one of Gentry's very close friends, and I love that Lindsey and I were able to become so close... She and JJ are such great friends, we love them!

Erin is due any day now with her little man Liam, he's going to be so handsome, and Erin and Neal are going to be amazing parents!

Sharlene and Matt are expecting their sweet little girl in a few more weeks... Juliette Romero! How darling is that?! Soo excited for Shar!

My good friend Megan is due with her little girl Lydia very soon.... She will be such a great mom, I'm excited for them.

See, I told you there are so many!!

And Gentry has two other very good friends that are expecting boys this coming year, so we're excited for them!!

I just love babies.... Way before Rylee came along, before Gentry came along, I knew that I was going to love having a baby... because I loved other peoples babies. SO much! I don't know what it is about going to the hospital right after a baby is born and holding them for the first time... They are so pure and so perfect. I love the way they smell and the way they make those darling little facial expressions. Such an amazing experience too when you are actually the person that is in the hospital bed haha wow.... What a special day! For all of you ladies that are about to start your incredible journeys of parenthood... Take it all in. Enjoy every second of being in that delivery room. Watch your husband when that baby is born.. Now that is a rewarding feeling :) that was my favorite part while working in labor and delivery. I would assist during delivery's, and I remember very few times of watching the baby come out, my favorite thing to watch was the dad and mom and the dad together. Such a cool thing. I would be pregnant ANY DAY, just so I could have that experience again. And for any of you that I have talked to about how much I hated being pregnant, you know that's huge if I'm sayin that! haha Actually, not ANY DAY soon... but some day maybe a few years down the road ;)

...And it's waaayyy past my bed time! Good night :)
