Face Lift!

Please excuse my blog, I am in the process of having some changes made and it is taking a little more time than I thought it would, not to mention that big sister has the stomach bug, I have been taking care of her rather than working on the blog..hopefully I will have all of the "cosmetic surgery" finished soon and it will no longer look this plain! here is a cute pic of big sister before she came down with the bug!

Sweet Baby

snoozing on mommy's chest after supper!

This is what she does al day...I fear the day when she wakes up and has a sassy attitude like her big sister!

Here are a few pictures of sweet Stella, I have been meaning to post some recent photos, sorry none with her eyes open, she sleeps about 23 hours a day and only wakes up to let out a little squeak when we put her in the tub!! Her eyes are going to be blue like dad's and big sister's, mine are more green than blue so both my girls have their daddy's pretty blue eyes! Who do you think she looks like?

watermelon with nana and papaw

Today we took Reese swimming, trying to let her swim out some extra energy! She had so much fun, and especially loved the watermelon that Nana and papaw gave her, she made a huge mess but worth it!

I think I love my sister

not real sure what to think about sister....

she decides to kiss her and see if she likes her!

We are still alive, I have not had much time to post anything over the last 2 weeks, having 2 kids is much harder than Blaine and I had anticipated! Reese is adjusting better, she no longer looks at Stella and waves bye bye to her, she pretty much ignores her unless somebody is holding her or showing her more attention than Reese and then she gets jealous. She has been acting out a little bit more than usual, she also has a new found interest in pacifiers, she wants one like baby sister has. We taught her how to say Stella, and she screams it at the top of her lungs, its pretty cute! Stella is a sweet baby, she is much calmer than Reese was, she sleeps alot and eats every 3 hours like clockwork! her are a few pictures I have from over the last few weeks.

Stella Langston Tyrone

On the way home from the hospital!

I had a very puffy face after I had her, hope the swelling goes down soon!

Blaine loves this picture, I think men should have to give birth!

Baby Stella arrived on July 4th at 1:46 in the afternoon! She weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz and was 19 3/4's long. She has jet black hair just like big sister Reese did, I am sure it will turn white like Reese's did! I had the easiest labor, much better than the first time. Reese is adjusting ok, she was more interested in the band-aids on my arm from the drips than the baby, she kept saying "oh boo boo's" I think that she will get more involved as Stella gets bigger!I will post more pictures as I get them downloaded!

What are your 4th of July Plans?

I know what Blaine and I are going to be doing on the 4th, we will be having a baby!! Due to preeclampsia little STELLA will be making her grand intrance 3 weeks early. My blood pressure has been really high this week and the doctor felt like the safest thing to do was to deliver the baby. My kids love to be born on holidays, Reese was 2 days after Christmas, and now Stella is on the 4th of July, should make for some fun birthday parties! We are really excited but totally unprepared, so anybody who wants to drop off a pack of newborn pampers, feel free!! Reese still has no idea what she is in store for, I asked her today what was in mommy tummy, she said ketchup..how funny, her little brain can come up with some funny stuff. keep baby Stella and all of us in your prayers for us, and please have a cold beer for me and Blaine this 4th!
