One month later! visitors and going back to work WOW that was fast

McKenna will be one month old tomorrow morning!!!

I can't believe how fast all of this is flying by, all of it- everything! wow I mean WOW :)
We are just so happy and in love, McKenna means the world to us and we just absolutely adore this little girl. She's such a blessing and a miracle. Honestly and truly she's just fantastic and I really feel everything about McKenna and my pregnancy with her was just wonderful. Heavenly Father really was looking out for me on this one. I don't want to sound entitled or anything else along those lines but, I felt I deserved a wonderful and blessed pregnancy this time around and a beautiful healthy baby girl. He gave me a "fast" and healthy pregnancy, equally fast and relatively worry free delivery, and a WONDERFUL baby girl who is beginning to sleep well, eats well, and is just honestly the best baby in the world! I know we all feel this way about our new babies but man o'mighty I'm just sooo thankful that McKenna is the way she is but I think she's definitely going to make up for all of her current greatness in her upcoming teenage years ;)

It has been hard, don't get me wrong, the lack of sleep and the every 2 hour feedings and the squealing/screaming while changing her diapers because we have to undress her to get to her diaper (duh lol) because she hates being cold- HAHA but she calms down fairly quickly and lets us move her around and be as loud as we need and nothing disturbs her as long as she's clean and dry and full. All of the "negative" things are just absolutely worth it when you have in your arms everything you have ever been waiting for. I'm just so blessed. Beyond blessed and I couldn't be happier. I have the best, most supportive husband and family who are all there for anything that McKenna and I may need and life is just great.


Now that McKenna has reached one month old, I am more comfortable with the idea of people coming to visit this little beauty :) I'm only asking that we keep visits short since she hasn't been around many people and I don't want to alter her eating schedule- so please don't be offended if she needs to eat, that will end up cutting visits even shorter :/ mornings and early afternoons are best for us in the next couple weeks BECAUSE I'm hoping to start slowly back to work after McKenna is 6 weeks old! This is a big deal for me, I'm both thrilled and scared about it but I know we need to adjust to having a baby and being working parents. SOO thankful for family- and my mom specifically- so close that are available to watch this precious princess while we are away.

Speaking of 6 weeks old. On that day, it will also be Wyatt's birthday. One year already. This has been so hard, the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I don't even know what more to say right now about it. McKenna is crying a little right now as I'm typing and I'm sitting here crying torn tears. Tears of sadness because I never got to hear my precious angel Wyatt cry and tears of joy because I've been blessed with the opportunity to hear my precious angel McKenna cry.

I may not know what's in store for my family in the future but I'm grateful to know that families really are forever and that we can eventually be together again and hold Wyatt again in our arms.
