Crazy Love!

2 Years ago (yesterday) I married the most amazing man! 

It's crazy that it's only been 2 years! I feel like we have been together forever! I'm so thankful to be married to such an amazing person! And I also am thankful to be married to such a funny guy! It's nice to have someone to help you laugh and smile through the hard times! 
This year to celebrate our special day we went down to Vegas and ate dinner at P.F. Changs (our all time favorite place to eat!) and stayed at the Platinum Hotel! I must say that it was a pretty sweet hotel for not a lot of money! Besides them running out of cribs and Milly having to sleep on the pull out bed. And Milly was an absolute ANGEL!! Slept all through dinner and slept through the night!! She also LOVED the big bath tub that was in our room! She had a blast kickin and splashin around!

Milly is 2 months old

Milly hit her 2 month mark. I can not believe how fast time is flying by! Milly is so smart and is getting stronger and stronger! I wish I would have dressed her up and taken some pictures of her but we were busy being lazy and relaxing all day! I did get a picture of her sleeping that day! 
Milly sleeping on her Daddy on her 2 month birthday.
Here are some fun facts about little miss Milly:
-She LOVES sleeping on her daddy! (as you can see in the picture above)
-She holds her head up constantly.
-She pushes herself up onto her elbows during tummy time.
-Milly LOVES her binky! (this is beginning to become a problem. she wont stay asleep unless it's in her mouth. Any tips on weening off of binky)
-She always is putting the bottoms of her feet together. (check out this picture)

-She loves bath time!
-Milly weighs 10.4 pounds
-She is doing really good with nursing and taking a bottle. She does a little better with a bottle but thats cuz she gets more milk out of that then she does when she nurses!
-Milly loves to look at her toys.
-She enjoys when I read goodnight moon to her every night. She will sit in my lap and look at the pictures. 
-Milly also has been smiling alot more and she even is starting to smile at our family members! 

We love Milly so much. And she is becoming more and more fun! We loved the newborn stage but we are LOVING this stage even more! We are starting to get her on a good routine and she is doing really good with that! She will sleep from 9:30 till 4 or 5 in the morning and she will wake up and eat and then go right back to sleep till 8 or 9 in the morning! I LOVE IT!!! I really don't mind this at all! I have been supplementing formula with her. My milk has almost completely dried up. We got sick a couple weeks ago and my doctor put me on an antibiotic and after almost finishing it my brother who is also a Dr. told me that that antibiotic is what is drying my milk up. So I stop and I got a little bit more milk back but not much! I want to keep trying to keep my milk but it is really frustrating because when she nurses she'll get so mad cuz she doesn't get a lot of milk. At least I have been able to nurse her for this long and I don't mind having her on a bottle. It has given Brady and I some needed freedom to go on a date and be able to leave her with Grandma. 
I am so thankful to be Milly's mom. I have to admit that for awhile I was having a hard time enjoying being a mom. I loved it during the day but hated it at night. Now that she is getting on a more regular schedule and she is getting better at sleeping through the night, I am starting to enjoy it more and more. 
I also have been trying to deal with some postpartum baby blues so that hasn't been helping either! (Don't judge) Anyways here are a bunch of pictures of Milly. 
Milly's first time going to church.
Sleeping with Mommy at Nana's house.

She loves riding in the car. She used to always fall asleep  but now she sits and looks around!
Sleeping on Daddy in our bed in the morning!
Her first pony tail! So cute!

Milly always sleeps with her hands like this!

Such a cutie!!

Snoozin 

She is always sleeping with her hands by her face!

She does so good at church! Sleeps through most sacrament meeting!


How funny is this!? Totally pegged! 

Milly and Jaycee! I love having a bunch a girl cousins for Milly! I have alot of great babysitters!


 Hope you enjoyed the pictures and the little update!
I just realized that most of these pictures are of her sleeping! haha I will have to put some videos on here of her while she is awake!

It's been awhile...

We have been so busy lately! So here is an update on us.
Brady: graduates in 2 weeks! YAY!!! He also has been way busy with Pinnacle and opening up an office down here! He also bought a new truck! Thank Pinnacle! (They are paying for it...) He is soo in love with this truck and I think it's about time he got himself a manly car! He is almost done with his freaking internship! THANK HEAVENS!! I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to be over! As soon as thats over I will have my husband back! After he graduates all he will be busy with is Pinnacle! YAY!!!
Sarah: I am just having the time of my life being Milly's mommy! It's a lot of hard work but it's so worth it! I got to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year and it was so fun to just veg out with all of them! I love them so much! I am reading the book "secrets of the baby whisper" and it's sooo good! It's really helping me be a better mom for Milly! I am contemplating going back to work for a few hours a week but we'll see how the next couple weeks go! I am feeling almost 100% back to normal from having the baby! I can't wait to start working out. I only have 4 more pounds to go before I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight! And then it'll be 10 more after that but at least I am getting close! Yay!!!
Milly: Milly is 5 weeks and 5 days old! She's growing soo fast! She is already holding her head up most of the time! She loves tummy time! She is starting to smile at us! It's soo cute!! She is getting better with spitting up, we have her on some medicine for acid reflux and it seems to be working! She is weighing around 10 pounds! She is out of her newborn clothes! I can't believe how long she is getting! She is also starting to get her own look. it's so cute! Poor thing has some baby acne so hopefully that'll go away soon! Her eyes are for sure blue! She loves watching her mobile and the flashing lights in her bassinet! We moved her into her crib about a week ago. Brady has been kinda sick so he coughs at night and was waking her up! and to my surprise she sleeps alot better in there then in her bassinet! She loves bath time. except when it's time get out and get lotioned up! But she does love to have her little hands rubbed while we're putting the lotion on. We gave her her first bottle on friday last week and she did awesome with it. So now I am giving her breast milk in that once a day. It's kinda nice cuz now I can leave her with someone and they can feed her. I think Brady and I are gonna go to a movie this week to celebrate! We are so in love with this little girl! I can't imagine life with out her! We were looking at baby pictures of Brady and she looks just like him!
I have a question for all you moms that breast fed your babies:
How do you get your milk supply to increase? Mine has kind of dried up a bit, I pumped the other day and only got 1oz out of both sides combined before I fed her! I used to pump 4oz out of both sides combined AFTER I fed her! So any advice would be much appreciated! THANKS!!


Here are a bunch of pictures from the last few weeks!
