Things are going well!

Aurora had her two month doctor visit and she is healthy and growing. I am not a fan of watching her get shots, but who would be. She is in the 50th percentile for weight, length, and head circumference. She is now 10 pounds 14 ounces. I am starting to get her into some 3-6 month outfits. She is smiling when you smile at her now which is wonderful for me! She sleeps for at least 5 hours in a row every night so I am not feeling so crazy and feel a lot more love for her. July will be our last month in Wyoming so I need to get the house packed up and ready to store. I will be staying with my mom in Utah for the next year. Brady has some away rotations but will join us there later this year. Life is always changing and I just keep growing and learning!

Wow! The hardest thing ever!

I had no idea that being a new mom was this hard. I have never gotten so little sleep in all my life. I have never fallen asleep so easily when I finally do get sleep. I can't believe that there are people who have more than one kid. Or that there are single parents. There is no way I could do this without my husband's help. Also, a big thanks to my and Brady's families for their support in a billion ways. I will be so glad to move closer to my family for the next school year. I can't believe I was actually considering staying here in Wyoming by myself while Brady went on away rotations. What a big life changer this little darling has been. I am truly amazed at mothers and their devotion to and sacrifice for their kids.

Its Spring at my House!

The flowers are coming up and the bees are busy!

My kitty is happy to see dirt to roll around in again.

And I am waiting patiently to reach my feet again. Baby Yates should be here any day now!

Knit Baby Pants

I am so glad I learned to knit while I was in the Student Spouse Club in Iowa. It has kept me entertained. I just finished knitting some pants for my baby on the way.

Sunshine brightens my soul!

Today it is 44 degrees! Yesterday was similar. It has helped me so much. I get so down when it is cold for too long. Me and the cat were able to go outside and soak in some sun. We both loved it. I can't wait for spring time when the flowers start to come up! Any suggestions on how I can pass the rest of the winter more easily?
