Two Month Birtday!

OK so Baby Fry is now 2 months old. She is getting so big so fast. I can not believe how much she has changed since she was born. She had her two month doctors check up and she is now 10lbs 7 oz. A long was from the 7lbs 0oz that she was when she was born. She is now 24 inches long and getting taller every day I swear. She had some shots that Christopher said she did not like but she only cried for a moment until he picked her up and then she stopped. (Sadly I was back to work at this time and could not get this day off to go to the doctors appointment with them. I will never miss another appointment I promise) Christopher texted me with all the details of the doctors appointment and when I got off work I could not wait to see my daughter. Trust me going back to work was VERY HARD and that is stating it lightly. The first week I had to hide at my desk which luckily was in the back corner and I did not have anyone who sat next to me and the girl who sat across from me was out on short term leave so I was almost alone so no one could see me almost crying.

The one thing that made me a slight bit mad was that after I got off work I got in the car and Christopher went into work. I had stopped at Wal-Mart to get a few things that we needed for the baby and I come across a paper in the back of the car. This paper is a referral for my daughter to see a cardiologist. It states that she has a heart murmur. At this point I freaked out and started texting Christopher even though I knew he was busy at work. I could not believe that he did not tell me about this before now. When I finally got a response from him he said that it was not that big of a deal. I was not so sure about that. He said that the doctor said that he heard a small heart murmur and that he wanted us to have it checked out. The doctor had also said that a lot of babies have heart murmurs and they usually grow out of them. It also said that she has dyplastic ears. If you look at her ears they are connected a little further back then your usual ears and the one is kind of squished. When we were in the hospital they did notice it and they immediately checked her hearing and she passed with flying colors. They said she can hear so its just the outside cosmetic that is a little off. The doctor wants to know if somehow the heart murmur is somehow connected with her ears. I guess we shall have to set up an appointment with the cardiologist and see how that goes. I hope that this heart murmur is something that she will grow out of. I know some other people who have heart murmurs and they live with them and do not have to many problems but I want the best for my daughter as I am sure all moms do. Christopher also promised me that he would tell me everything from now on, but at this point I am going to make sure that I go to the doctors appointments just so I know all of what is going on for myself. Not that I do not trust my husband but well lets just say the track record for important information communicated does not speak in his favor at this point. I do still love him do not get me wrong I am just going to make sure we get everything checked out that we need to.

I am starting to get use to people calling me mom and Christopher dad. We had our first Mothers Day and Fathers day and it was so cool to be able to say yes I am someones mom and to finally understand the whole thing behind those days. I have enjoyed the last 2 months so much with my new family. Christopher is becoming an awesome dad he takes such good care of his daughter and such good care of me. I think that he has become a much more understanding husband as well. He is working more to make sure that my needs are met as well as his own. Its funny, I have seen a side of him that I have never seen before and I did not know was in there, but I love it and I love him and I am so happy that we have a cute new family.

Baby Blessing

Today was Baby Fry's baby blessing. Of course we did not say Baby Fry in the blessing, but its a name that she has gotten stuck with since before she was born. (and a name I am sure I will use a lot in any blog about her) It was a nice Sunday morning starting with my mom coming over to get the potatoes in the over for the after church get together at my house to let everyone see Baby Fry. We put her in the little pink dress that her grandma Clyda gave us while we were in the hospital. She looks so cute and the dress is a little big on her but that is what makes it look so cute. I met some of my husbands family along with my mom at Church and they went to class with us. It was fun introducing them in Relief Society and I am sure that they loved everyone looking at them. Just before sacrament meeting we took Baby Fry over to the mothers room and I met my friend Tara in the foyer. She agreed to help get Baby Fry dressed and do my hair was well. She is such a good friend I love her so much. We changed Baby Fry into her blessing dress which I think went something like 3 feet past where her feet were. (I may be exaggerating a little bit but it was long which is fine because that is what I asked for and grandma Clyda got it for her) I had gotten her some cute little white satin shoes that tied with little bows. Yes I know you could not see them under her dress, but trust me they were cute. We also had a really cute white 3 inch crochet headband with a big white bow on it for her head. She was so cute all in white. She looked like a little angel. To be honest she is a little Angel.

Christopher gave her the best blessing I could ever imagine. The funny part was afterwards he told me that the blanket that I had given him to take with her when he blessed her mixed with the silkiness of her dress caused her to slide from his hands while he was saying the blessing. Good thing our friend Clayton was there to catch her little bum and hold her in place until Christopher finished. It was ok though. It was a cute white crochet blanket with a lavender ribbon around the edges that I got from Lisa our friend at work, and it looked cute with her outfit so its all good. After that we had testimony meeting and of course Christopher and I stood up to bear our testimonies and of course I cried though mine. (I blame it on the after pregnancy thing) Christopher's mom got up and gave an awesome testimony, and then there was Christopher's grandpa. All I can say is how embarrassing I think he took up the last half of sacrament rambling on about I do not even know what. Lets not dwell on that though there are better things to talk about.

After church everyone and I mean everyone came over to our house. I did not realize how many people were going to come over. I mean my house is new and it was the first get together I have ever had in it so I did not know what it was going to be like. I realized at one point that we did not have a kitchen table and chairs so people were sitting on the floor and on the stairs in the back yard. I apologize profusely to everyone who was a little annoyed by that. We had a baked potato bar with chili, sour cream, cheese, multiple different salads and multiple desserts along with pink lemonade to drink. There was just the right amount of food for the amount of people that were there. (with a little finagling of the potatoes) I think there was 6 brownies left after everyone had gone home.

It was so nice that all these friends and family members came to support my family and welcome little Baby Fry into our family. Christopher and I thank them all for coming and for everything that they have done for us. I want to especially thank my family, Christopher's family, Tara and her family and Leslie and her family for all their help with getting this whole shindig together and kept it running while I socialized with my family and showed off my new little daughter. I am so glad that she is here and I would not give her up for the world. Mommy and Daddy love you Kadence and we are so glad that you have joined our family!
