I'm 30!!

Holy Crap! Well yesterday was my Birthday. I have now joined Luke in the 30's club! We went to Mojave to visit Luke's Family for the weekend and had an AWESOME time! We love getting away and spending time with everyone is always a good time. Julia had so much fun, she even got to ride Shelbee's horse named Posidon. She really liked that, for a few minutes anyways! LOL! Luke took me on a ride on our Friend AJ's Harley. It was the 1st time that I was on the back of a bike in 3 1/2 years. Having kids tends to change your priorities a bit not to mention your ability to just get on and go. But I have to say I really enjoyed it! It wasn't a long ride but it felt good. That was Darby's 1st time to the dome and her 1st long road trip, 3 1/2 hrs. She did great! We didn't get home until late last night but it was well worth it. Thanks everyone for making turning 30 so special for me! I love you guys!!








My 7yr old Niece Amelia made me this card! I love it!!!

1 month old

It has been WAY too long since I have been on here to update. Darby is 1 month old now and had her 1 month check up. She is 11 lbs and 22 3/4 in. That means that in one month she grew an inch. WOW! She is still so peaceful, she doesn't cry very much and usually only wakes me up to eat once during the night then goes right back to bed. She has started smiling and today while I was nursing her she let out a small giggle, now it could have been gas but it was for sure a giggle. =) On her actual one month birthday I was in the ER for Mastitis. If you have ever had Mastitis you know how painful it is. Luke stayed home with both girls while I went by myself. There were some real whack jobs in the waiting room, but I tried to stay positive. After all, people watching is one of my favorite past times. =) Luke did really well at home by himself. I was able to nurse and pump some milk before I left and was back in only 3 hrs with a prescription in hand. So not so bad! You never know how long it will be and especially on Labor Day weekend. That night after I got home I felt like crap, my fever spiked up to 105 because the antibiotics hadn't kicked in yet. It seriously felt like a semi truck hit me! But I am SO happy to report that all is well now. Thank God for antibiotics!! Hopefully I wont get it again. I had it 2 times during the 17 months that I nursed Julia.
