Keeping busy around home!!!

This might be my most favorite pic of the girls yet....i laughed so hard when i seen it. As you can tell...Grace was not to happy this night...i'm pretty sure it was close to bedtime. B'lynne was just a happy little camper:) Things are going well around the Wilson household...we are slowly but surely getting on a schedule...Grace is sleeping more and more during the night so that is good for my mental health atleast. B is doing great as a big sister and is helping mommy out a lot. I'm looking forward to getting back to work...but not looking forward to the late hours i have to work. Corey will not be happy when he has to do it all by himself in the evening considering its the baby's fussiest time of night. She is ready to go to bed by 8..and i don't get home till 7:30..or later most nights. So i'll get to spend a whopping 30min with my baby..and she will most likely be furious at that time...that should be a blast:) I'm looking forward to the nice weather, it gets B outside and most importantly..the dogs outside!!! I hate when we are all cooped up inside. I'm looking forward to start my landscaping again this year. Its something that i really enjoy..minus the weeds part...they take over so fast...my yard was pretty for a little bit last year then i got pregnant and couldn't keep up with it. i'm hoping i do better this year!!! hope all is well with everyone...i'm trying to update the blog more so keep checking back!! Meg

Another fav...B not paying attention and Grace if furious....foaming at the mouth actually!! hahaha. and i realized that i should wear makeup everyday..this is just scary to look at:)

Fatty patty moo moo outside enjoying some sun!! Finally!!!

Never wake a sleeping baby...even if it means leaving her in her carseat for hours!!!

My little obese baby!!!

B'lynne loves helping mommy out with dishes!! Who knew that filling the sink up with water and soap could keep her busy for hours!!! She loves to play in the water!!!

Finally she made it!! Gracie Elizabeth Wilson!!!

Well on 1/19/11, my little (well not so little) Gracie Elizabeth Wilson made her first appearance. Weighing in at a hefty 8lbs 14oz and 22inches long. She was a big girl...and i felt every pound:) I guess that is what i get for going 10days over due...they finally talked me into being induced..even though i didn't want to...i figured it was time for her to get on out of there and deal with the cold like the rest of us had to:) She is now 3wks and two days old...sorry its taken me so long to post something, life is a little more difficult with two at home now!! Someone once told me it was easier with two...i'm still waiting on that to hold true!!!! I have one on a night schedule and one on a day schedule. Its getting better the past week...she has been sleeping much better, however not in her bed...she falls asleep in the swing for the first part of the night and then her bouncy seat the last part of the night...which i place in the crib so i can sleep in my bedroom and not have to worry about the dogs disturbing her...or eating her:) She is a good baby for the majority of the time, but doesn't like to be put down...she likes to be held...who can blame her, i carried her for 42weeks...whats a few more?Big Sister B'lynne has done a great job at welcoming her!!! I was a little worried B would try and hold her or mess with her a lot...this is not the case, in fact most of the time she could care less that the baby is even here, which is a good thing!! I have noticed that right when baby is crying and needing attention..that is when B wants attention has well, which can be difficult when i'm the only parent at home!! I usually have each of them on my lap...both crying...both demanding attention from me, so needless to say i'm super excited to see Corey when he gets home from work!! The baby seems to prefer me over him...so he usually spends time with B while i'm doing stuff with the baby. Other then that...just trying to get a schedule going, i go back to work in a few weeks (March 2nd)....man the time has went by fast..i'm sure not fast to the people covering my job....i think they are looking forward to having me back...or i atleast tell myself that!! I'll try and update again before i head back to work, but here are a few pics.

Big Sister holding Grace...she says "can you get her off now, she is too big?" hahah

ahhh, the dreaded after labor picture....but she was worth it:)

Waiting patiently for new arrival...

Well today is 1/11/11...two days past due date and still nothing. Lots of "fake" labor...but nothing real. My last day at work was last Wednesday due to me just wanting a few days to myself to get some housework done and get some more stuff organized before baby...well i had those few days and now i'm just bored and want her out:) If she is anything like our first...(see pic to the left of Miss B'lynne Faith)...we are in serious trouble. As you tell from the pic she gets her attitude from her mom. Frankly I feel bad for Corey...number 1 he has to deal with me which is a chore in itself..then a child who acts just like me...and now another little girl who we are both hoping acts more like her dad...quite and goes with the flow. Had a doc appt yesterday and there is some progress made so i'm hoping things will get going this week so i don't have to be induced next week. I figured since i was home i could update the blog...mainly because i'm bored but figured everyone might want to know what is going on. I will keep everyone posted once Gracie Elizabeth arrives!!

Family pic...but B was being difficult and didn't want her photo taken so its just Daddy and I!!

Holidays are among us...

Well as the title says...the Holidays are among us...today is the day before Thanksgiving and I took today off to get some baking done and spend some time with B and my nephew Austin...which I'm now regretting as I type this:) A few weeks ago we took Moo...one of our crazy dogs to a photo shoot that a co-worker puts on and money is donated to an animal shelter so i thought it would be fun to take Moo and B and get their pics done together. I always seem to forget that B hates pictures...just like her father...hence..why he isn't in the photo..he made sure he was busy this day:) The dog actually did better then the children..imagine that. I finally had to bride B with french fries from McDonalds to get her to uncover her face and smile for the camera. And ofcourse..she wouldn't sit for them without me, so the pics that were just supposed to be of Moo and B...ended up being B, Austin, myself and ofcourse Moo (corey's prized possession) Corey laughs at me...he says one human shouldn't be so jealous of a dog..but if she was human...pretty sure corey would have married her and not me...so i'm a little bitter when she comes around!! hahaha. Anyhoo...for Thanksgiving we go to Corey's moms and then probably off to his dads in the evening and my parents sometime in the morning just to visit, so its never a relaxing time for us. We are also in the process of building a room in our garage for us so baby can have her own room and we can have more space. Ofcourse its been put off until the last possible moment...as of today i'm 34weeks and 3days...so 8.5months...i'm slowly running out of energy but the show must go on. There is a two year old who is demanding and a house, three dogs, a husband who all need something..usually at the same time. Can't wait to have another little demanding person running around:) I'm ready to have this baby and not be pregnant any longer!! I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and gets to eat lots of good food with people they love the most. Talk to you soon. Meg

Here is a cropped shot of B and Moo Moo...they are so cute:)

My little B'lynne..such a good pic...I believe this was the smile i got when I told her if she smiled I would buy her fries from McDonalds...whatever works right? hahah

Wedding pics

Its been so long since i have updated the blog, but some of you have not seen the wedding pics...some have. The day was wonderful, but went by so fast i can barely remember it...and i was sober:) It was so nice to see family and friends and i was very grateful for all the help that went into making our day so special. I really don't know what to do with my time anymore....oh wait...i forgot i work, am 7months pregnant, take care of a 2yr old and a husband, housework, laundry, etc.....hahaha...i think i'm still busy enough:) We are now just trying to prepare for another child...well as much as you can prepare. Trying to potty train the first one so we don't have two in diapers...its definitely hard work. The Holidays are fast approaching and the only thing i'm counting down to is 1/9/11...due date. Lets just say its been a less then fun pregnancy!!! I told Corey I think we have a soccer player...this kid has adhd, she is all over the place, all the time. As long as I don't get another colic baby..i will be happy!! haha. I hope all is well with everyone!! Love Meg.

Chasing bubbles

Its been a long time since we have updated this....life takes over and you get busy and you forget to keep folks updated. A few weeks ago we finally had B's two year old pics taken...just a few months late...thats pretty much on time right?? haha. We decided to take her to the Rose Garden were we will be married in just a few weeks. The photographer did an awesome job at capturing her attitude and not "posed" shots. Once the lady sent them to me, I cried right away...only because seeing her everyday you don't realize how big she is and how fast she is growing up. I try and enjoy her everyday...but life gets in the way and I realized that time is just flying by and I don't enjoy my baby girl as much as I should. So...enjoy the pics...I'll add more later on. I have tons to upload from my camera...but with wedding planning, working, taking care of B, the house etc....I don't find much time to get the blog updated. Hope everyone is doing well!! Love Meg!

The "real" Braelynne Faith...little sassy pants!!

Looks just like her Daddy!!!

My little angel baby!!! most pics are of her back because she refused to have her pic taken.
