Thank you Megan Lee!!!

I am so blessed in my life to have great friends and to have grown up with some amazing individuals that I still keep in contact with today. One of those individuals is Megan Lee, used to be Megan White. A while before the baby was born she contacted me and asked if she could take pictures during the birth of the baby. As most of you know I am not a private person and so of course I said go right ahead. She is trying to get a business started doing this so I was the trial run. I was excited, hesitant, and all of those things that can run through your mind when you think of fat pictures and your private parts being displayed in photographs but I just have to say THANK YOU Megan from the bottom of my heart. As I sit here and watch the slide show of pictures, no words, just beautiful pictures of my amazing babies birth I couldn't help but just cry. You caught so many precious moments that you miss through your exhaustion and your overwhelming emotions of everything that is going on around you. I must tell all that there was not one gross picture or fat picture just beautiful photos tracking the time, the looks on my families faces, my husbands face, and the firsts of my babies introduction to this world. What a beautiful keepsake and one that I will charish forever. Thank you again Megan and if any of you are having a baby any time soon, please concider doing something like this. You won't regret it and the exprience of rewatching that special time is priceless!

A few pictures

As all of you mothers out there know there are no new posts in the last little while due to the adjusting that must happen in your life when a new baby comes on board, especially your first. There is a whole new type of tired, busy, and especially a whole new love that you learn about. I really didn't think it was possible to love another being as much as I love my little girl. When they give her shots at the doctor if I could take that pain from her rather then see those tears stream down her little face I would do it in a heartbeat. Keeley and I love being home just hanging out together. She is growing so fast. I can't believe just 4 weeks ago she was only 7 pounds now she is 9 pounds 4 ounces. I guess that breast milk really does fatten em up real quick. It's a good thing it is doing something because she won't latch on so I pump every 4 hours just to feed my babe the good stuff. It is a LOT of extra work but I am hanging in there and I will do it as long as I can. As for Dean, he is working a ton. He leaves early in the morning and comes home late in the evening. He's making good money for us this summer though which works out beautifully for our buy a house plan which is still in the works. I hope we find something soon. Our little family is bursting at the seems here in the in-laws house. It will be so nice to have a place to call our own. Well that's about it for the McLeod's. Not too much is exciting but just wanted to throw down an update for ya'll.
