4 months already (almost 5)

Little Miss Megan, your almost 5 months old already. It seems like just yesterday that we were welcoming you into our family. I know that Momma is a little late with this post, but we are just so busy enjoying you, that some things have to wait.

What you’ve been up to lately:

You weigh 12 pounds and are 25 inches tall. You are one tall skinny girl.

You wear size 1-2 diapers and 6 month clothes (they are really big around, but you need them for length)

Love to sit up like a big girl, you want to be independent, but NEVER alone

 

You love bath time and think it is really fun when we sing songs and pour water over your head

Like the picture above, you love to be naked and nothing makes you cry harder then getting dressed, you are definitely not modest!!

Sleeping is not going so well, you don’t like to nap (except on your Gram’s chest), and get up every 2-3 hours at night to eat (Momma and Daddy are very tired)

Playtime in your Jumperoo is your favorite, you especially like that when you move it plays music

Your feet don’t touch  the floor yet, but you still jump around

No teeth have come in yet, but not for lack of trying, or should I say drooling. Thank goodness for special gifts from your Auntie Leslie, Megan loves you too!!

If you could just slow down with the growing and give Momma and Daddy a chance to sit back and enjoy, we would love it. But we couldn’t LOVE anything more then we LOVE you!!!

Positively Perfect Year Ago Today:

One year ago today Mike and I had the most Positively Perfect Day. As you may have guessed, on May 1 2009, we found out that we were pregnant. Though we were nervous d/t our previous pregnancy loss, we could not have been happier to see that PREGNANT sign on the digital test. Earlier today we sat down and talked about that morning, here is what we both remember:

Kate: I did not want to take the test. Since it had taken us a year of trying to get pregnant the first time, I had convinced myself that it would take a long time again. I remember getting up, taking the test, and heading back to bed while Mike waited for the results. I told him to only tell me if it was positive. Before I even got across the room to the bed, Mike was already saying Oh My Gosh, It’s POSITIVE!! I ran back in to see for myself and was totally shocked. From that moment on, our lives were forever changed!!

Mike: The thing that stood out in Mike’s mind was how fast the positive result came back. He knew that if it came back that fast, it had to be POSITIVE!! He then took a picture of the stick and we just continued to stare at it for the longest time.

 

Our new life could not be better. This May 1st we spent our day with this beautiful Little Lady!!

 

We could not Love Megan Janell more, and she makes EVERY day positively perfect!!

“Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. When you were born, I saw your face and I knew that I was in love. Before you were an hour old, I knew I would die for you. To this day, I will. This is the miracle of life.”
