Oh Happy Day!!

My bestest, bestest friend, Andrea is having another baby!! She texted me this morning telling me she was worried because she was two months late. I, of course, told her she was probably most definitely pregnant. The thing is, she has a 7 month old at home (an adorable little moppet named Ben) and she didn't think she was ready for a new baby. I totally know how she feels, I know I wouldn't be able to handle being pregnant again. She went and took the test and it was positive! She was so upset she was crying and I was in shock and we both didn't know what to say. I told her if she wanted to get an abortion I'd support her on it even though it would make me sad. I don't really know where I stand on abortion. It's kind of one of those words that out there in the world. I understand what it means but I've never come face to face with it. I think I'd be comfortable with having one if I got pregnant again right now but I know in my heart I'd never be okay with it. And that's how she is too. For about two hours we were discussing how to go about getting her the abortion. She even called the doctor for an appointment. That's when it hit me...she's pregnant! She's going to have a baby. A real baby. A beautiful little life...you can't just throw that away. I told Justin about it and he told me I should convince her to keep it. But I couldn't. I would support her on any decision she made. I did tell her, though, that having two babies isn't as hard as it seems. Sure it's extremely hectic at times but it's also rewarding. She talked to her fiance about it for awhile and just like that I got the most amazing text saying she was going to keep the baby! I started crying immediately. I can't believe it, another baby!! That's the best thing that could have happened. Sure, things are going to be a little tight for her but she's having another baby! I am the happiest I could be right now. I am so excited. She's going to be a mother of two :) She still hasn't told anyone but me, of course. I can't believe I'm the only one that knows!!! This is so big. I love this woman so much and I love her fiance, John even more. He's the one that convinced her to keep it! What an honorable gentleman, she couldn't have picked a better man. I'm crying right now I'm so damn happy.

My Baby Girl

This is my newest addition, Haley Jennifer Megan. She was born January 19, 2010. She was a whopping 9 pounds! Which is amazing, seeing all she went through to be born. I had surgery while I was pregnant with her! You can tell she's going to be a strong woman.

I love this little girl. She looks JUST like me!! Khodi was the little blond hair, blue eyed boy who looks just like his daddy. But this lil girl has dark brown eyes, dark hair and a beautifully tan complexion...just like her mommy :) I couldn't be happier. We now have the perfect family!

She's an amazing little girl. When she was first born I was just so exhausted from all the stress that I barely wanted to see her. I was going through a teeny bit of post-partum depression for the first few days but after awhile it went away and she warmed up to me. Now I just can't get enough of her!!

I can't get over just how different she is from Khodi. People always told me that two babies can be completely different from one another and I never believed them. But she is the absolute opposite. First of all, Khodi was super calm as a baby. Never really cried, always very happy. Haley? Noooooo. She is a SCREAMER!!! For the tiniest little things this girl will cry all day, all night. She cries when she's hungry, when she needs a diaper change, when she's too hot, when she's too cold, when she wants attention, when she's uncomfortable and just when she feels she hasn't cried in awhile and wants to get a good temper tantrum in. Needless to say, Khodi spoiled me. I say to people that if I had Haley first, there probably wouldn't have been a second. Khodi made me think babies were easy haha.

But that's okay, I love her so much!! When she's not crying she's smiling and laughing and making my life amazing!! Her little smile is the prettiest, most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life!!! It makes all the crying worth it. Maybe that's WHY she cries so much. No one can be perfect. If she was beautiful, had a perfect smile/laugh and didn't cry...she'd be too perfect. I can handle her crying all day very easily. Every once in awhile I need a little bit of a break (like right now, Justin's feeding her while I blog) but for the most part I don't need to be away from her. She's my angel!!!!

I'M BACK!!!

Hello all!!

I am pleased to announce that I finally, finally have a computer!!! Now I will be blogging often!! I don't see anything that would stand in my way. I have my own computer I can use any time I want. All you using your own computers right now you may think I'm just easy to please. But imagine being without the internet for almost THREE years!!! And every time you need to use the internet you have to go to your parent's house!! Or worse...the library. It's not pretty. So me finally having my own internet connection is amazing for me.

Well that's all I wanted to say right now =) I'll be back though...I'll be back
