My Leilah Bug 2 months

Daniel 2yrs

So today Karen and I had fun taking pictures of "Danny boy" as his dad likes to call him. The first 15-20 minutes went pretty well. Im sure my brother Mike and Daniel had fun listening to Karen and I hollering "Daniel", "Cheese Daniel", "Daniel look at mom", "Daniel, Daniel, Daniel", "Cheese Daniel" LOL He amused us for awhile then it was "ok im done" it was like pulling teeth to get him to hold still and look our way. Oh being 2! But we still got some great pics. I haven't went through them all yet but here are a few I wanted to share.

They Grow So Fast

Leilah is now 2 months old already. Man how time flies when your not sleeping...lol It actually makes me kinda sad. I feel like I havent really enjoyed her to the fullest since Ive been so very sleep deprived. With having older brother Daniel needing me as well there is no "napping when she naps" so its been rough. She is almost out of her newborn outfits, from newborn to infant we go *tear* they just grow so fast! We have her 2 month check up tomorrow which includes shots, poor baby girl. I was looking at a few of the birth images Karen took, they make me smile. I feel so lucky to have these images, thank you again Karen. They are beautiful memories I will cherish forever.

Leilah Milanni Mossbarger

Leilah Milanni has finally graced us with her presence! Born February 21st at 12:28pm. 7lbs 15oz 19 inches long. I am in love :) We arrived at the hospital at about 5:30am, only at 4cm and contracting about every 5-6 minutes. I started walking in the hallways to hopefully dilate more, after about 30 minutes of walking the contractions grew to a whole new level, one that brought tears to my eyes but at last I was at 6cm! Woo hoo! Time for a room and a epidural! I then was good for a bit, back labor set in though and the epidural didnt do a whole lot for that. Still it really did help overall. I dilated pretty quickly this time but my cervix was slow to thin out all the way. Once we got past that, it was 3 pushes and she was OUT! Oh the relief! Proud to say I only needed one stitch ;) Here are a few of the beautiful images Karen took of little Leilah at two days old. Thank you Auntie Karen!!!

39 Weeks!

Ok so Im really over this whole prego thing. I am 39 weeks pregnant today and I am so very ready for this little girl to come on out! Hip pain, back pain, everything pain is pretty much the whole problem, not to mention I think Im stretched out to max capacity, LOL! Oh and wait I forgot about the sleepless nights. Please please pregnancy gods, grace me with the birth of this little girl by the end of this week!

CRAVINGS...

Ok so through this pregnancy, I have noticed a few differences. First I do tend to have a tiny sweet tooth. I didn't crave sweets with the boys but this little girl likes the sugar. I've been good at keeping the sweets at bay for the most part. But I do have to say I love the Zeppoli (italian doughnuts) at Olive Garden! Yummm!

But my strongest craving has been for Avocado Club Egg Rolls and Field greens salad at California Pizza Kitchen! They have me hooked! Dinner Anyone?

Maternity Art

One of my best friends, Karen Marie from Belly Beautiful Portraits took a few Maternity images of Daniel and I in a quick session last week. As always she did an amazing job and they look just beautiful! We will be having another full session with her on the 18th since our natural light that day was basically non existent and Karen does so much of her beautiful images with natural light. Also below is the Fabulous Baby Shower Invitation Karen made for me! I love it so much!! Thank you again Karen, you are the best!!
