Cell phone pics

So i had so many pics on my phone that it was starting to do stupid stuff,so i had to go thru and delete some these are some of the ones i could not delete cuz they are so funny or cute!!

Watching cartoons on Hammas phone!

I was folding clothes and looked over this is what i saw so i put her to bed and when i came out this is what i found.....

Apparently it was nap time!! hahaha

Showing off her new 12 MONTH Jamie's Hamma got her!

I watched Travis co-workers kids for a day (2 boys 6 and 8) they had fun "trapping Erilyn in their "castle".

when i layed her down for her nap her stuffed animals were spread all around her crib when i checked on her this is what i found!

This is one of my all time favorite pics! This was taken right after they told us we could take her home the next day!!!!

In with the new out with the old.

Ever since we bought our house Travis' mom gave us a couch. It is the ugliest most uncomfortable couch I've ever sat on in my whole life. When we redid our basement i didn't want that stupid thing back in my house but we didn't have enough money to get a new one. Then Erilyn came along with some bills so again no money. But now that all her bills are paid off and Travis is donating plasma again we have a little extra money. So we saved up enough to buy a new couch i cant tell you haw excited this made me!!

The old ugly couch



Erilyn playing in the cushions while daddy uncle Landis and uncle Connor put the new couch together.



New clean comfy couch! :-D

An emotional roller coster.

Ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to nurse my babies and as long as possible. But never in a million years did i think it would be so hard and hurt so bad!! Since Erilyn spent 11 days in the nicu all i did was pump 24-7 to make sure my milk was coming in. I was so excited when they told me i was going to be able to take her home cuz then i wouldn't have to pump any more..... Well it didn't work out that way and for another couple weeks i would pump and feed her my milk supplemented with formula during the day and nursed at night. It was both mentally and physically draining!!! I felt like all i did during the day was pump, feed, change diaper, clean up the pump, feed,change diaper, pump, clean up. I was so excited when i was told i could just nurse and wouldn't have to pump any more. When we took Erilyn in for a fallow up apt i felt extra cold and my boob hurt i toughed it out till we were driving home. I couldn't eat my hamburger, my body was starting to ache and i felt like throwing up. When we got home i decided to take bath to to see if it would make me feel better. When i took off my shirt off i noticed welts on boob and decided to take a bath to see if it would relieve some of the pain it just made it worse!!! I started to ball my eyes out and got out , told Travis to call my doc asap and showed him the welts. He called the doc and explained to him what was going on i was crying to hard to even talk, he told him is an infected milk duct or more commonly known as mastitis. I spent the rest of the day in bed pumping( i was in so much pain that i physically couldn't turn on my pump my self) and nursing as much as possible and the next 10 on anti- biotics. I almost quit nursing then it was the worst thing i had ever experienced and i didn't want to go through it again! Over the next few months i got  few clogged ducts that were super painful but never as bad as the first time and was able to get them to go away before they turned into mastitis. Well last week it got really bad i had mastitis again this time it was way worse my fever got to 104!!! My fever got so high i actually ended up with blisters in my mouth! My whole body ached so bad i would just lay there and cry my eyes out till my medicine kicked in enough i could function alittle bit. . Everytime it was time fore Erilyn to eat i would just cry! She now has 4 teeth 2 on top and 2 on bottom and she liked to bite me hard!! So not only did it hurt from the mastitis but it hurt cuz she would bite me. Once it started to feel better i decided i couldn't do it any more not only was she biting me but i kept getting clogged milk ducts and i just wasn't producing much any more. So i decided that while i was on anti-biotics i woulds ween her off. Today marks one week of not being able to nurse my baby. :-( and I'm not going to lie i miss it SO MUCH! and i think she does to! It breaks my heart when i hold her close to me and she turns head mouth wide open and tries to nurse. But she is taking to the formula alot better then i ever thought she would. And I'm starting to get baby hugry!!! No this is not an announcement of any sort it will still be awhile but I'm just really missing that nursing bond.;-( and hope that next time it will go alot btter.

What Erilyn has been up to lately!!

 I just cleaned up this room and ran up stairs to dishes real fast when i came back this is how i found my naughty baby! :-D

 We have had to put up a baby safety gate around our heater and water heater with Erilyn getting more and more adventurous each day i was afraid she would decide the pilot light and gas line were a fun thing to play with.

She still isn't full on crawling but she does like to get up on her knees and elbows and shake her little bum in the air!
