Baby @ MindSay

Well, good morning all! I promised to keep you updated on the new little cousin I received. I have chatted with her mama and all are doing well. I have a couple of photos I would like to share.

 

       

 

This is her newborn picture. So sweet. 

 

 

 

And this is a closeup of her. She is very cute, as you can see. I told Sara (my cousin and her mom) that I think she looks dainty.

 

Of course, you will all notice her Alabama cap. In that family, you are born a Tide fan...there is no other option. Her grandma will try and switch her over to be an Auburn fan, but I really don't think her dad will allow it.

 

Congrats again! and I can't wait to meet my new little cousin. She is coming up to MN for a visit in June. She'll be so big by then. But for now, she is the youngest person to make an appearance on my blog.

Good News! I have another new little baby to spoil. Welcome Finn Leicht Davies, born at 2:03am, weighing 7lbs 12 oz. He was 2 1/2 weeks early, but a very welcome surprise. He is the first child of my good friends Peter and Niki. They are both doing well. I hear Niki is tired but happy. I am so excited to meet little Finn, I just can't wait.

 

Here is a photo of the newborn, with his mommy.

 

 

Doesn't he look just precious?

 

Well, my congratulations to both Pete and Niki and their newest little addition.

 

Also, I want to take a moment to wish another friend a very happy birthday. Little Sophia Belle is 1 year old today. Happy, happy to her. It is very sweet of her to share her special day with our new friend Finn.

 

What a good day this is!

 

 

This is my baby, Lilly. She's the sweetest thing I could have ever asked for. After the passing of my first dog, Jake (pictued with her while she's sleeping), I was a wreck. I know it's a bit cliche to say that she licked my hand and got me through, but she's just got this personality. It's impossible not to smile when you see her. Anyway. Sharing pictures of my baby.

Now that the family has been notified, I will share with you all!

We found out this morning that Amanda is two months pregnant with our first child. So I'm going to be a daddy in about seven months!

And we have decided to get married early. Some of you know why. But we're having a very small wedding in August, early in the month. I've got some money saved up and I'm taking her to Florida so we can get married on the beach like she's always wanted. It'll be very simple and small, but it's our compromise. She wants to get married before she starts showing a lot and before some other things happen, and we also want to make sure family can be there. We were going to elope and then have a big ceremony after the baby was born and we were settled, but we talked for a long time today and this is what we decided on. We're doing it once.

She doesn't think her mom will be happy because she's into huge weddings, but neither of us are, and it is OUR wedding.

Look out world, we made a baby!

Adding a POKE POKE to the others who post here. Come on, guys!

Ok, well to warm up I figure I'll open up a little more about myself.  I am six months pregnant with my second child and I work the midnight shift 11pm to 7am.  I am getting exhausted because I watch my 18 month old daughter during the day and work at night. This totally being my choice, because I want to spend as much time with her as possible before this new baby comes into the picture.   I guess the problem arises when unexpected incidents are thrown ontop of my plate, for instance my brother being arrested for domestic assault.  I spent half of my shift talking to him and his girlfriend and my mother...just to go home and be on suicide watch with him...thus leaving me zero time for sleep. But of course that was something I was compelled to do, especially given the circumstance.  My problem is I find myself compelled in the same way to help or accommodate all family and friends no matter how small the situation is they need help with.  The giving part feels great, but I feel like I am being pulled in so many ways leaving no time to myself. Then I get disgusted and I just close up.  I stop answering the telephone.  But now with my girlfriend's pending seperation from her husband, I force myself to reevaluate how I relate to everyone...especially my husband. I have been married for ten years (just as long as my girlfriend was) and I don't want the walls that I occasionally put up to end my marriage as well.  So many thoughts have been racing through my mind with all the recent incidents that have been occurring that I apologize if it seems like I am jumping from subject to subject...I just needed to let it out.
