Daddy Time

Babies

From Newborn...To 3 months, and so beautiful all the time

Sleep, an elusive concept at the moment. Our first night together in the hospital I was so tired but I couldn't sleep because that would mean closing my eyes and not seeing her. She's so beautiful, I still find myself mesmerised by her. They say I'm suposed to sleep when she sleeps but just now I can't do that because I'm enjoying her little sleeping faces too much.

I was going through grandma and grandpas photo albums earlier today and found myself especially interested in the many babies that have been in their life. I saw one of my dad at just about the age wesley is now, it makes me think how happy I am to be at this stage in life. Newly married with my first little one

I also saw a little bity Uncle Douge, Darrel, Michelle, Devin, Mackenzie, Melissa, Medori, Ginger, and Thomas. they've seen so many babies born.

Happy Birthdays

Yesterday I celebrated my 22nd year since my birth, and our little girl celebrated her first full day. The instant I saw her I thought she was beautiful. I heard it's normal to think your baby's funny looking, but after working all night to see her and waiting these fourty weeks watching her come into the doctors hands was the most amazing sight.

I woke up at six in the morning on the fifth and started feeling occational tightening in my lower abs and stomach but it was so mild and infrequent I figured I should get some extra rest in case I didn't have another chance later so slept until 11.

In the afternoon Wade and I went over to Jed and Lindsays. I watched the girls while Wade and Jed went to switch the cars tires afterwards we where invited to my parents house for waffles and ice cream. I napped about two hours or so and Wade went out and mowed the lawn with the tractor before having some waffles. We left about 9pm. All day the abdomen tightening had continued and where becoming more frequent so to be on the safe side Wade and I headed to the hospital.

While waiting for the doctor Wade asked what I thought it would be, "I'm going to say a girl, but I know I'm going to be wrong" he said, "me too I think it's a girl but I'm going to be wrong." We where set on a boys name but still uncertain about a girls middle name we both liked Anya and Claire so we did rock paper scissors, I think secretly I wanted Claire to win though.

The doctor talked about inducing in the morning if things hadn't started on their own and that I should walk around until midnight and if nothing happened get some rest, I walked until midnight then lay down to rest and boo hoo couldn't sleep because they where to strong and frequent, I was a bit bummed out that I wasn't going to be getting to sleep

needless to say, by 8:55 the next morning we had our very own little daughter and we named her Wesley Claire.

I love my husband

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WADE!!

Since it's Wades birthday today I'm writting an entry all about him, how much I care about him and think of him as a very standup guy in this fallen world. We have been a very blessed couple. How few couples in history get to select their marriage partner and have this beutiful and intimate desire to be together? This is the way God intended relationships to be.

I am looking forward to a life spent with Wade. He's a thoughtful and affectionate husband, a concerned and devoted friend, and a faithful employee.

He's sincere about whatever he believes and allows his beleifs to influence every area of his life. which is an excellent quality especially when paired with another fine quality of his, teachability. If what he believes can be logically challenged he will change his perspective, especially if it is some truth from the bible that is questioning his mindset.

He's devoted to his dreams and can sacrifice smaller joys for a larger purpous.

I'm constantly amazed by how attentive he is to both myself and the people he cares about around him. How willing he is to drop whatever his priorities may be for that day or moment and do what his wife or friends need right then instead.

I also have to commend him for being an excellent provider and taking good care of us. We can pay the bills every month, do grocery shopping, and on top of that we've been blessed with a house two cars and all the clothing we need, maybe a little bit more on my part =3 . Thanks Wade for your hard work.

I hope in this marriage I can be a blessing from God to Wade, as I submit to him as the man in my life, and leader of our life to come. As we delight in and struggle through work, play, relaxing, learning, and all the other wonderful and at times confusing things of life, doing it together side by side. Trusting him as the forrunner in each situation.

And this going out espcially to Wade, More than telling you about these things, I hope you can see them in my life as I grow in maturity.

I've got it good

I've really got it good. From looking in some people might say we have it rough right now, but I know otherwise.

We began this new adventurous leg of life with the best foot forward. On the wedding day Wade was extremely considerate of me and making sure the whole thing went as perfectly for me as he could make it, and as I was floored with this romantic surprise, I returned the favor. He had no attitude of "you give I give" but rather one of genuine love, I followed suit and also took this stance.

Attitudes like this are hard work and difficult to maintain, they require time concentration and effort and as with many attitudes come in waves of dedication, here a while gone a while. This time it persisted a good two weeks, just long enough to be on the recetion for the honey moon.

Let me tell you, we had a few "trials" that week, if you can call them that. Really though, how can you call it trials, we're out in the beutiful Canadian scenary with all the delicious food we could want, gasolene, and shelter, I mean c'mon what more can you want? Just cause we only caught two fish in four days of fishing, after driving three hours to a new lake on the fourth day the boat trailer broke and we had to wait in the car for help three hours (six hours sitting in the car) and cut the whole trip short... oh no the worlds coming to an end we have it so rough... I'm kidding

If we're kicked out of the house because of renovations: it means we own a house and have wonderful people who are willing to work on it for us, If we catch no fish: it means we have the time and freedom to sit in a boat on a beutiful lake and listen to the birds. If the boat trailer breaks: it means that we own a boat. If we have to wait three hours for help: it means there are people who care about us enought to drive so far.

I'm not meaning, "make life perfect by looking at the posative side of everything" because sometimes there really is no posative side, I just realize there's a need for gratitude sometimes.
