I Hung Out With Lylah Today

I forgot how much work it is to have a baby around the house.

I babysat my little niece, Lylah, today. She has a cold, and instead of being miserable at daycare, she came and spent the day with me. She's almost six months old, and a total sweetheart. She wasn't cranky (too much) but she wanted to be held most of the day, which wasn't really a problem for me :). The problem was that I must have blocked out how much work little ones are. The bottles and diapers and binkies. I didn't eat or pee the entire time she was here! lol! (maybe she should come everyday...that would sure help with the whole losing weight thing! lol)

I enjoyed every second with her. We watched a few movies, a couple of television shows on demand and basically just chilled.

She also made me realize that I in no way, shape, or form want to have another child.

I like eating and peeing way too much! lol!

Carson And Lylah

I thought you guys might enjoy a picture of my newest little niece and her big brother. Notice the hand holding her head...precious! It also warms my heart that my sister uses the blanket I made for the baby...even carrying it to the hospital with her. Colleen called this afternoon and asked if I wanted to spend the day at her house tomorrow...of course I wanted to, but I have developed quite an annoying cold, and am sneezing and congested. I think my eyes hurting was the beginning, because all day today they have done nothing but water. But, having a cold means no baby love, so I will be sitting home. As much as I want to see them, I do not want to get anyone sick, especially little Lylah.

I just better be over this by Saturday...Brandi will kill me if we can't visit then...she has yet to meet her newest little cousin.

Look Who's Here!

Say hello to my newest niece, Lylah Caroline. Isn't she sweet! (please don't look at me...I only got 3 hours sleep last night!) I spent the morning at the hospital, waiting for her to make her arrival. As you can see, she is a little bitty thing. My sister's section was delayed, so we all sat in the waiting room, worrying about her. I was going to look into Hyper-V backup and Protection while we waited, but my mom forgot her laptop. I can not wait until February and I am able to get my own laptop. Just think. If I had a laptop, I could have posted this picture hours ago.

I can not wait to go back to the hospital tomorrow and spend some more time with the new baby.
