2 Months.

I know I always say this but I really cant believe Enslie is already 2 months old! It seems like just yesterday I was trying every trick in the book to put my self in labor. She is the sweetest baby and LOVES to cuddle. She eats 3 to 4 oz every 2 hours during the day and sleeps from about 10-6 every night, give or take a few hours. She still loves to be bundled and hates getting her clothes changed but doesn't mind having her bum changed. She loves baths and splashes like crazy. She sleeps no matter what in the car. If I don't cut her nails every few days she scratches herself and others. She can already hold her head up during tummy time but isn't huge fan of being on her tummy unless some one is holding her. She doesn't really cry unless she is hungry or poopy/pooping. At her 2 month check up she was weight 10 lbs. 4 oz and was 23.5 inches tall. They said she looks great especially with the traumatic week she had before her check up. The doc even said she was gelouse with how great of sleepers my kids are and asked what my secret was. Honestly I think im just SUPER lucky. But a few things we do is we only bundle her at night or in the car, we do not use a binky (witch often wakes kids up when they fall out of their mouth) and we usually do a warm bath and rub down with lotion right before bed.






She was mad she wasn't bundled right any more.

First time wearing shoes.

I layed Enslie down for tummy time one day Erilyn scooted her over and joined her.

RSV/Bronchiolitis

On march 8 I noticed Enslie had a stuffy nose, a low fever (99.7) and she was super fussy wich is not like her. Just to be safe we scheduled an apt at her docs office. They said it was just a virus but to watch for signs of it getting worse. The fallowing Friday I noticed that she was either refusing to eat or throwing most/all of it up. By sat I was tired of cleaning up throw up and starting to worry that she was getting dehydrated. After we went to dinner for my moms birthday we decided it was time to take her to insta-care. Shaless  and Jared offered to take Erilyn for us so we could get her checked out with out having to chase Erilyn around also. When we got there we checked in and since it was close to closing time they didn't have many people there. So we got right back they checked her weight temp. and  then her oxygen level it was around 87. The doc came in and checked her ears..... nothing. He also checked her for dehydration she wasn't dehydrated.....yet. He said to watch for dehydration and try to feed her half her bottle then the other half  20 min later since it seemed that being stuffed up was giving her an upset stomach. We decided to keep her home from church since we still weren't sure what was wrong and she was still throwing up ALOT. She was up almost all sunday night/ Monday morning crying cuaghing and throwing up what I ever I gave her. By tues we decided to get her an apt. at the docs office. When I called they wanted to see her sooner rather then later but since Travis had work and i was baby sitting the earliest we could do it was. 2 we got an apt for 220 they were running behind so we didn't get back till about 3 they weighed her( 9lbs 6oz)  checked  her temp. (99.7)they then took us to a room and checked her oxygen level the nurse looked worried and changed the position of the monitor and checked it again she said that the monitor must be broken so she left to get another. I could hear commotion in the hall way she back in with the doc and checked again they still looked worried they said that her oxygen was low it was 80-84 normal is 100 they said since it was so low and she was so little they had to take her to Primary Childrens Via Ambulance! I lost it! They said she would be fine but that she would definantly spend a few days there. Since her docs office is at st. marks the ambulance people came up right away and we were off to primary children's. I went with Enslie and Travis and Erilyn went home to get some stuff then meant us at the hospital. When we got there they admitted her right away and got her on some oxygen they got her weight, height, temp and oxygen levels. Then they did a deep suctioning of her nose they got lots of snott out, they were surprised how much. They then swabbed her nose to have  labs done to see what it was that she had. We got moved up to the infant unit the results came back RSV positive she also was positive for bronchiolitis. Since she was dehydrated she had an iv put in and had iv fluids for a few hours, til they stopped them because she kept a full 3 oz down. They continued to suction her before every feeding until she could keep a bottle down with out it. She went a full 5 hours with out needing oxygen then had a cuaghing fit she was having a hard time recovering from so they put the oxygen back on and sent her home on a little bit of oxygen. She was at the hospital from 330 tues march 18 to about noon on Thurs. 20. The next day the 21 we went to the docs office again they checked her over and tried to see what she would do off of the oxygen she did amazingly and they decided that she ok with out it!! yay!! I have to say that this is the hardest thing about being a mom is I hate seeing my girls sick or in any kind of pain I just with I could take it from them.
All hooked up.

So sad looking. Since she is so little they had to tape up her iv really well so it wouldn't come or get pulled out. The poor girl kept hitting her self in the face with it.

Finally caught a smile!!

If you look close you can see her hair standing straight up after a bath. They gave her the nick name baby Einstein after that because his hair looked like his.

Erilyn entertained her self one day when she came to visit baby sister.

Happy to be home! even if it was on oxygen.

Yay no oxygen!

Her beautiful oxygen tank for when she was home we also had a portable one for on the go.

"Mommy baby Ensie hold Erinyn han!" They sure do love each other. :-)

Erilyns First uttered prayer.

The other day at dinner we sat down and said a blessing on the food. After we said amen and began to eat Erilyn folded her arms again and uttered her first prayer with out help. " Heaveny father...... Thank you baby sister.......Amen!.. YAY!" She clapped, I think she was almost prouder of her self then we were. I hope she always loves her baby sister as much as she does now.

The dress.

I wrote this a few weeks go but didn't post it for some reason enjoy my rant :-D........
Erilyn wore a dress the other day, she picked it out. I laughed and told Travis that I was pretty sure this was the first time she had worn a dress not on Sunday/special occasion. When she was born I decided that I would never dress her in something that I my self wouldn't or couldn't wear. This means she has never been out in public in anything immodest. Since I never wear a dress unless its Sunday/special occasion. She to never wears a dress unless its Sunday/special occasion. Since I can't wear tank tops she to does not wear them with out a shirt underneath. When my kids are sick I don't get them dressed I leave them in pjs just like would want to be in if I were sick. Since my shorts go to the knee I try to get hers as close to the knee as possible. I've heard people say they are just babies I'll dress them modest when they get to a certain age. Why not start now? Why not show them what you expect from them day one? Why not Set the example? If we ever have a boy he will dress like his dad. He like his dad wont wear tank tops he wont sag his pants or wear insulting shirts. He like his dad will wear a shirt under basket ball jerseys (same thing goes for our girls). Now im not saying Dresses are bad or banned unless its Sunday/special occasion. I just don't like them so I assumed my girls wouldn't either. Hahaha.

The luandry room.

When Travis and his dad redid the basement they ran out of time and didn't finish the laundry room. Ever since I've been asking  for him to finish it for every Christmas and Birthday. Something always came up and it didn't happen.While he was off  when Enslie was born. He decided to get it finished, his step dad finished the dry walling and we painted it. I love how it turned out, I used a frame I found at bed bath and beyond for inspiration for the colors and im planning on putting naked or nearly naked pics of the girls in it.
I hate the floor in there we will hopefully be doing something else with it soon.



It has since been taken over by toys. which honestly is ok with me, :-D

Outside fun.

Since the weather has been good we have been spending as much time out side as we can. Here are a few pictures that I have snapped of the girls either outside or getting ready to go out side.






Disney on ice.

We decided to take Erilyn to Disney on ice because she has been really into mickey and princess lately. We found a sitter for Enslie so we could keep more focused on Erilyn..... She cried when I walked out of Hammas house with out baby sister.A ride on the train, a mickey lemonade and some princess cotton candy quickly fixed that. As far as the show was concerned she was only interested when Mickey was on the ice which was pretty often. She did pretty well considering the show didn't even start till 7 was 2 hours long and she is usually in bed by 730 or 8.



Enslies baby blessing.

First of all sorry for the kinda blurry pictures they are from my phone and keep on uploading onto the blog really small so I have to change the size and it makes them blurry :-(.
We blessed Enslie on march 2 we did it so soon this time because we had 6 other babies either born soon after her or due in the next few months and we wanted it just be her so it was a little more special for our family.
some things that were said in her blessing was that she would be happy and healthy, that she might get married in the temple, and that she would always be a faithful member of the church.

After her blessing we had everyone over to our house for chicken salad sandwiches. This is what I caught Erilyn doing with her cousins they stole a bag of chips and sat on the bed eating them and watched a movie.


Proud daddy with his little girl. I love how he looks at her!


Enslie in her blessing dress. I went back and forth on wether or not I wanted her to be blessed in Erilyns dress. We ended up buying a new one because Erilyns was to small for Enslie. Im glad that we decided to get her her own so that they don't fight over who gets to keep it when they grow up.


Band-aid fun.

My mom got Erilyn some "banades" for her birthday they were all used up with in a half an hour......
