Throwback Thursday!

AWWWW lol this is Maddison 2 years ago right before her 2nd birthday! She looks like a baby here LOL :) At this time we still lived on Kadena AB in Okinawa Japan in Marek Park 10327 C :) She was playing in our bedroom (looks like daddy was laying in bed) I can't believe she is almost 4!!!! She loved playing with my stethoscope (which she still has and does) she was such a fun toddler! And girl loved Dora LOL So much including her has changed since this picture! We ended up having to move like two months after this picture to Camp Foster a little bit after this due to them renovating this house. It so crazy I look at some of these pictures from May 2010 and I see Molly!!! Like this one!

 LOL I just see Molly in these expressions pictures also from May 2010! It's funny I don't remember her in diapers. My my how things have changed :) Happy Throwback Thursday!

Evening with Maddicakes...

Well now that Molly is on a normal schedule and sleeps at night, I get to have some one on one time with Maddison in the evenings. Tonight we colored, made a map, she helped me make dinner, she helped me do dishes, and now we are chilaxin watching "The Big Bang Theory" LOL She was telling me about her monkeys and I painted her toe nails (of course with her Biddidi Bobbidi Boutique nail polish) she is something! I still can't believe she is about to be 4 years old. I was asked today if she was 6!?! I was like umm no she isn't even 4 yet LOL I am kinda happy she didn't get selected for preschool one more year with her all the time will fly by! Plus Matt will be leaving soon for tech school so she will have a lot of change. I am hoping and praying that Pampered Chef will really start going so I can put her in this christian preschool on my terms of what days and times. She is such a great little person! I can't wait too see the person she grows up to be!!! She is so loving to Molly which just makes my heart smile! I know that won't always be the case but for now it's great! We have been thinking about them sharing a room next house but we shall see :) for now I'm going to continue to enjoy my evening with my girl before bed!!!

7 months already...

Shew can't time just slooooowww down for a few! Today we celebrate Molly Elizabeth being 7 months old and I can hardly believe it. October 4 at 8 o'clock my water broke here at home and I kinda had an "are you serious" moment because I was only 37 weeks preggo and NONE of our house hold good's were here yet from Okinawa!!!! I called labor and delivery and to my surprise they told me to not come in...I don't think they really believed my water broke it was almost as if I didn't know what I was saying maybe I had peed on myself but my water broke with Maddison at home as well and I knew I hadn't peed all over my bed! So I was like well fine, I will just say home and hope I will start contractions on my own maybe I would get out of a c section! My plan was to stay at home as long as possible and hope to go in at like a 8 or 9 and go from there...I found out that they don't do VBACS here and well they can't make you have an elective surgery unless it's medically neccessary. BUT as the night went on nothing happened and by that morning I knew a c section was my future and it was going to happen that day...so the following day at 9 am I called and they had me come and and well I was sent to the hospital from there :) A friend we were stationd with in Okinawa is also here and she was graceious enough to take Maddison for a few while Molly was born! At 2:05 pm, weight 7 lbs 7 ounces and being 18.5 inches long Mollybug came into this world a healthy baby! Before the doc showed her to us as they were getting Molly out we heard her say "All you look just like your sister" and well she did! She looked just like Maddison the day Maddison was born!

Maddison was so excited to see her little sister and to hold her. She kept asking if we were going to keep her and could we take her home :) It made my heart smile! I didn't think I could love another little person as much as I love Maddison but shew I was way wrong!!!! These little girls are our world and it made my love Matt even so much more!

Molly was born here in Valdosta, Gerogia at Smith Northview by Dr. Courson. Her clinic also gave Molly her first bible with her name stamped on it. Such a blessing! I wanted to leave the hospital and go home ASAP and they were so great about making sure I was ok and helping me along so that I could get out of there as quickly as possible. I went in on a Wednesday and I was able to go home on Friday. I wanted a great nice shower and to lay and rest in my own home even if there wasn't much there! My amazing hubby went out and bought me a glider since I couldn't sit in the camping chairs anymore because of my surgery. He is so sweet to me and takes such great care of me and the girls! Maddison was just so in love and couldn't leave Molly's side.

 

The one thing I wanted more than anything was for Molly to nurse. Maddison didn't and I was and am ok with that, her jounry into the world was a little different than Molly's. Molly did great and latched on no problem and well she nursed strong up until two weeks ago and I am ok with that. That's almost 7 months longer than I did the first time :) Molly is such an amazing little person. She is already trying to walk, she pulls herself up on all kinds of things and already has two teeth through and possibly some upper ones on the way! Gibber gabbers away, always has to be checking out what is going on around her, LOVES TO EAT! She is just so much fun, such a happy baby!!! Happy 7 month's old to our sweet girl! We love you so much!!!!



All our dreams came true!!!!

Well our 2012 Walt Disney World vacation came and went...all tooo fast!!! Our trip started last Saturday (21 April) to which we dropped of Daisy and Dukie pug to the kennels and cleaned up a bit, then we were off to Orlando airport to pick up Mamaw and Papaw Blevins! Living in Valdosta we are only about 4 hours away so it wasn't too bad of a drive down there (or home either). That day we just kind of rested, by the time we picked them up and go to the Shades of Green on Disney we were pooped LOL :) The next day we got our day started, walked around Shades of Green and checked it out. Walked over to the Polynesian resort which was right across the street and rode the monorail and just checked out everything. That night we watched the lights parade and the fireworks at Cinderella's castle at the Magic Kingdom. So Monday started our 4 days at Disney one day at each park. Monday we did Animal Kingdom. Maddison enjoyed the safari, she did the boneyard, we watched the Festival of the Lion King, we did Rafiki's plant watch, and Matt and I rode Expedition Everest...we were so bummed that It's Tough to be a bug was closed :( we also watched a parade that afternoon.
On Tuesday we took a break as we needed to get some supplies from Walmart and Matt wasn't feeling too great. So Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we hit it hard and went to Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Epcot. We watched parade's, met characters, rode as many of the rides we could, went to shows, stuffed our faces and just had a blast at Disney!!! Maddison really enjoyed doing the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Downtown Disney on Saturday!!! Althought it was expensive I would trade her fun for the world! She is also a roller coster junkie and enjoyed all that that she was tall enough to ride!!! This was her second Disney experience and I hope she has many more! There is just something about that place!
