Princess Olivia has arrived!

Olivia Marie Turner made her grand appearance November 5th weighing 7lbs 5oz, she was 18inches long. She is just as perfect and healthy as her big bubba!

Birthing story...
As most of you know I had a repeat C-section. When I had Willie I was in labor for two whole days because they induced me and the doctors thought a vaginal delivery would be the best way to go. Little man had different plans. On the third day we had an emergency c-section because my cervix was too small. I ended up having to be put under anesthesia since my epidural was only working on one side of my body. It was the scariest moment in my life, everything was so fast pace and hectic.

Olivia's entrance was much more calm.. We went in at 7:45am, I was prepped and back in the O.R by 10:30am... Since we knew I was going to have a c-section, I had a different type of epidural and it worked wonderfully. A little pressure and a bunch of  "tugging" later, I heard my babygirl cry for the first time! To say it was magical is an understatement... Moments later I was sewed up and on my way to the recovery room with our new little princess. When they wheeled me in, the first thing I saw was Curt in tears holding our daughter in the rocking chair with such pride in his eyes.... Well most of it was pride, the rest was fear LOL.  We know having a little girl is a whole different rodeo. Not completely sure if we're ready for the ride but ready or not, time to saddle up! I was only in the hospital for two days after I had her.

Our new home life...
As soon as Willie saw his sissy he was excited to give her a big slobbery kiss. Mouth opened wide, slobber streaming, me smiling from ear to ear! His mouth covered her entire face lol. I'm pretty sure he thought she was a babydoll at first but then she moved, woah! He was only able to spend a few hours with us... A hospital room isn't the best place for a active toddler!

When we came home he was ecstatic to see mommy and daddy but a little confused as to why we had to bring the babydoll home from that place! I mean he already had plenty of toys, right? haha! He didn't acknowledge her much right away but the first time I changed her diaper and she started crying the "big brother" in him came out quick. He was hitting my leg repeating "noooooo" with a worried look in his eyes as he watched her closely. I tried to explain to him that she had to get a dipey change and she was okay. I kissed her, he kissed her, soon all was well!

She turned a week old November 12th and at this point shes just another member of the family, like she's been here all our life. Willie is a wonderful big brother, checks on her when she's fussing, gives her a paci and sometimes helps me feed her by holding the bottle. He's very gentle with her except when he's all hyped up and playing then decides to give her a little "patting" which is sometimes too rough for my liking but all we have to say is "eaassyyyy" and he calms down and is back to being gentle. As of right now though, I think we've both decided she's pretty boring. LOL ;)
We're currently staying with my mom until I heal up a little more but my incision is looking great and healing up as quickly, if not quicker than it did after I had Willie.

Thank ya'll for all the prayers, positive messages and comments on our facebook page, instagram, email and twitter. They mean more than ya'll know...It's crazy to think that I've been blogging through two pregnancies! We've met some awesome people through our blog and hope to meet MANY more. Of course that means I'll have to step up my blogging game since I've been slacking off here lately. It's absolutely on my "to-do" list and hopefully it'll be easier to do now that we're getting a routine back. I'm pretty excited about what else God has in store for our little family. 

Excuses, I know.

I can't even remember the last time I updated my blog. I'm a bad, bad blogger...
Since its been so long, let me catch yall up.

Last month I was in the ER due to contractions happening like crazy and I was only 35 weeks at the time.. They gave me shots to stop them, luckily I'm only dilated to a fingertip.. I'm currently 37weeks now though... Yaayyy. We've set my scheduled c-section for November 5th. We're so so excited! We're all ready to see miss Olivia Marie! Everything has been going flawlessly with the exception that my doctor placed me on bedrest so I'd stop having contractions.

Willie is just getting smarter by the minute! He's 16months and absolutely perfect. He's got such a big personality and he's so funny and happy.... He has hit the "fit throwing" stage though, where he throws himself onto the floor and looks at you like "Um, mom... Don't ya see me? It's time to give me what I want.... Right now!" but that's mainly when he gets sleepy and grumpy. We just let him do it, when we act like we don't see him he gets up and acts like it never happened, haha! He's fascinated with my big ol' belly! Everytime my shirt is up over my belly he pokes it and laughs hysterically! It's soooo cute and a tad bit insulting LOL.

Curt and I are doing great, both happy and healthy!

This is mainly a late night post just to let yall know we're still alive lol. I'll update more soon...
If you want more updates feel free to follow me on twitter @StephUncut or follow my facebook page "LifeAsMeDotcom". I try to update them regularly and with pictures. Thank yall for reading!!

God bless.

Our first Christmas as a family of three :)

Last year at this time I had a sweet little boy in my tummy just kicking away! This year I have a 7 month old sweet little boy trying his best to eat wrapping paper! Oh how time fly's...  December 25th our babyman turned SEVEN MONTHS OLD. He's sitting up great, hes trying his hardest to pull up on things, hes into everything. he still loves everyone and is always happy unless hes hungry. He got his first sippycup for Christmas and instantly figured out how to hold it! He is constantly gaining more and more personality. He's definitely a mommas boy but looooves his daddy too of course! He's 23lbs and 27inches, BIG BOY! He loves lemons, any babyfood really but hes not a big fan of the texture of big boy foods like potatoes, tiny cut up scrambled eggs or cut up macaroni.

We had an amazing Christmas! He's more spoiled than I thought though! lol... He received so many great gifts from everyone and lots of kisses and hugs too! Everytime he tried opened a gift, he automatically tried eating the paper! lol. He was also very excited about the boxes and that everyone else was so excited about their gifts. Needless to say Christmas eve and Christmas night we had a very exhausted little man on our hands.

As much I want him to stay this little forever, I am excited for the next few years when we can start Christmas traditions that will be fun for him.. Elf On The Shelf, blowing out candles for Jesus' birthday, etc.. Every single day I fall more and more in love with this precious angel of mine... It might sound crazy but he truly is my best friend, my son, my world. I have absolutely NO idea what I'd do without him!
