Lexi loves her Daddy

Alexis is already getting so big. She had a doctors appt on Monday that was for her 2 week check up. She weighed 7lbs 12.5oz and she is now 21 1/2 inches long. Lately she has been smiling and sometimes it seemed like she could see us and I dont beleive the whole "its just gas" thing. Well my doctor said that she should start recognizing us and should start responding to our voices. Sometimes when I am changing her she will start to cry and I will tell Brandon to come and talk to her and she will just stare at him and she loves to hold his hand. When ever he has her she calms right down. It is so adorable. So I thought I would post some cute pictures of the two of them loving each other.

This last week!!

I know that I have talked alot about the baby and have posted alot about her but there was alot that happened this last week that I haven't been able to blog yet because I dont have any pictures and I think that pictures make the posts. I still dont have any pictures but I think that I better just go for it.

On last friday my Mom & Dad came to Fallon, NV to visit me to be there for the week ahead. Corey & Chantel were also able to make it and they were there until Sunday. So to start off I would like to say that I have an awesome family (on both sides) and I love them all very much!! On saturday I was able to go to the Reno, temple and take out my endowments. It was a very good experience and I am glad that I had alot of support and I dont think I could have done it without people that love me. I was so greatful that I had lots of help and that Brandon was able to take me through the vail. I love him so much and I am so lucky to have him. He is a great husband and the cutest dad in the world. Our one year anniversary was on monday and he was so cute he went with my dad to walmart and got me a present which was flowers and a new griddle, I loved it! The next fun event that I had for the week was on tuesday. My parents, Brandon and I took a drive and went to Lake Tahoe and it was so pretty and the weather was perfect. Then that evening Brandon and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Reno temple. That was really good that I was able to go back to the temple so soon after taking out my endowment because I was able to ask Brandon some questions that I had since we didnt have much time on saturday. Brandon and I were able to go to the Celestial room while we were waiting for everyone to arive. He looked so handsome in his white clothes and I have never felt closer to him then I did when he took me through the vail and when we sat waiting in the celestial room. I love him so much and I am so greatful that he never gave up on me and kept asking me out :) The next day was the big day to have Alexis and that was the craziest experience that I have ever had. It was amazing how everything worked. Even though I dont remember some of the days events it was still so precious once we finally got her here. My mom and Brandon's mom were both able to be there for the birth and our dads were both in the hall and in to see her moments after she was born. I was greatful that my mom, dad and Brandon kept me company all day, they were troopers. Then on friday my parents and us came to my house in good ol Round Mountain. They helped me so much and cleaned my house and helped with the baby. Brandon had to work nights and I know that I couldn't of done it without my mom and dads love and working hands here to help. I love them so much and I hope that they know how greatful I am for all of their help and everything they do for me and the sacrifices that they made to be here to spend the week with me. I must say that I was very sad to see them go and Brandon was also. Brandon told me many times how greatful he was for them he just didnt know how to thank them for everything. LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!!

When I get pictures I will post some. Some how my camera got left in the car. I guess I was a little scatter brained to remember it and to get pictures. Luckily others werent so forgetful.

Lexi

So I am having that whole mom thing going on where I am just overloaded with horomones and every time I look at her I just melt. I know that every mother thinks this but she is the cutest girl ever. She is so pretty and when she is with her dad it is seriously the most beautiful thing in the world. With that said I have to show some new pictures of my little angel.

ITS A GIRL!!

So yesterday at, i think, 7:23 PM, I gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl! She weighs 7lbs. and 12oz. and is 18 1/2 inches long, very short if I do say so myself. Exspecially considering that her dad was a twin and was early and that is how long he was. She is such a doll and I know that everyone has been waiting for the new post of pictures to see her so since I am up at 2:45 AM doing nothing I thought I would do my job. Be waiting for some more photos though because I dont have a ton on my camera and plus she looks different everytime I look at her. She was really swollen at first so everyone that got a photo of her right after doesn't even know what she looks like because she doesn't look anything like that picture anymore :)


oh and I think we are naming her Alexis Grace Whitaker. Brandon told me whatever I want and that is what I want and that is what everyone is calling her.... but I haven't filled out the birth certificate yet so if it changes I will let you know.


mom at the start of the day (hottie)


mom after one very great epidural (oh yes I had an epidural) I was having contractions 1 to 2 mins apart from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM with no meds and I was still dialated to a 2 the whole stinking time and then I couldn't handle it anymore because the Pit was making them so stinking strong and then I had some other medicine to control pain which made me a fruitcake and I was falling asleep and in pain so I gave up and luckily I did because they think that is what finally dialated me :) because I was headed to a C- section
....and yes I was in the middle of pushing trying to change the channel on the tv in this picture. WAY TO GO epidural!! :)

Our baby right after she was born and her daddy is cutting her cord... and yes she is a little blue which was really freaking him out but the cord was around her neck so they had to just get that off and warm her up and she was all good :)
