Happy Birthday Irelyn!








I feel kinda repetitive.....




I guess that's what happens when your kids are so close together. I was so scared when I found out I was pregnant with Irelyn, Ty was only 3 months old. I had just become a Mom! I didn't know if I was ready to do it all again (like I had a choice). I felt bad for Ty, He wasn't going to get to be the Baby for long. But after all the fear and troubled thoughts ( that lasted for like an hour) I got excited. My kids would be super close in age, which I thought would mean that they would be the best of friends (I was right).




It wasn't easy. I had had preterm labor with Ty starting at 7 months. Since my body didn't have time to properly heal. It started at around 4 months with Irelyn. I was scared I wouldn't get to meet my baby. But thanks to the wonderful care from Dr. B and all the wonderful nurses who knew me by name at the hospital we did OK. Irelyn came 5 weeks early. They induced me because I was already dilated to a 5, and I did not want to have my baby in wal-mart or some other public place. She was perfect. Tiny. But she had no health problems. Well besides being impatient and almost falling to the floor because the Doctor was still suiting up, thank goodness her Daddy was there to catch her head! (that's a memory Joe will never forget). I guess that wasn't a health problem but it sure was scary at first and then funny afterward.




My beautiful 6lb 1 oz baby girl is now a 30 lb sassy, funny,beautiful little girl. She loves to dance and boy she is so good at it. She Loves her brothers. She is a complete Daddy's girl. She is a night owl (just like me). And she is mine.......and Daddy's too.




Love you Irie!

WOW!! She is so big now!! It does seem strange to think back to that time of just having Ty, but she was ready to come be a part of your family!!!!!
