A Place to Write

I'm not sure I ever wrote down your birth story. And now you are four months old! Yikes! So things were a bit crazy around the time of your birth. We decided when we got pregnant that we needed to move and for a while we were unsure where we were moving to. We moved in with Grandma and Grandpa Vance for a bit and then were lucky enough to find our home on Tobin. We spent every night for weeks trying to get it ready to move in but I didn't decorate a room for you, Eisley, because you weren't here and because I really wanted you to share a room with your sister eventually. With moving and your dad being busy at work and trying to figure out what to do for school, I honestly didn't do much prep for you to come. I kept feeling like I had more time. At 37 weeks and 6 days I had a doctor's appointment in the morning. I knew Dr. Holmes would offer to strip my membranes and I wasn't ready for you to come-- but I wanted really badly to be done being pregnan...

Funny, when Kaybree turned 1 I felt like it was ABOUT TIME! Now that she's two I'm thinking ALREADY?! That went fast. You were a baby four months ago. Now you're a full blown little girl! We didn't do much for your birthday. We went swimming at Grandma Vance's house because the pool is beautiful and there's not much else to do to celebrate a June birthday. I decided a long time ago we'll do a big party for 1, 5, 8, 12 and 16. So this wasn't a huge birthday so we just invited family (plus Melissa and Brekken). It was fun! You were spoiled. You're not big on swimming but you enjoy playing on the first step. It's so cute when you grab Brekken's hand to get him to go somewhere with you. You're pretty bossy but he's sweet and doesn't mind. Grandpa Vance is the best!
