Tylana

Just thought I would post some pictures of my Tylana. She is growing so fast. I think she is going to be tall, she already is getting too tall for her 3 month old onesies and sleepers. In these pictures she is about 6 1/2 weeks. She is also my first baby to lose hair so it will be interesting to see how it grows back. She is still a little angel. She is totally starting to smile and react to you talking to her, it is sooo precious. I wish I could just talk and cuddle her all day. She is taking a pacifier too, which has been really nice. She loves to suck on it while I just rock her. She also falls asleep when I do that, but those naps only usually last for about 45 mins then she wants to eat. You can totally see her balding here but I think she is still cute.

This picture was from Halloween she was drunk off her milk. haha!

Oct Gigi Visit

My mom came to visit us and we loved having her here. She was such a huge help. I didn't take many pictures because it seemed like we both always had a kid in our arms. ha! For just about the whole week she was here, Tylana slept with her and I got a ton of rest. It was a blissful week. :)

I did manage to take some pictures of our trip to Sea Life Park. The kids had a blast! Leila was fascinated with everything and was running from one exhibit to the next.




I miss my mom sooo much! But i'm so excited to see her and my dad again in December.

Boo!

Halloween this year was fun and exhausting. I really need to plan better! But the kids were so cute. Tale of course was spiderman. I bought him this suit awhile ago because I thought he would love to dress up as him but he wore the heck out of it. I then took him to get a costume and of course he picked the spiderman one AGAIN, but I convinced him he needed to find something else. So guess what he picks next? Venom! Venom is a black spiderman. They didn't have one in his size so he picked another one. Green Lantern, but of course they didn't have it. So then he picked Iron Man. We got home and he tried it on, but he didn't like the padded muscles and wouldn't wear it and only wanted to wear his old spiderman outfit. So I took back the Iron Man and just let him wear spiderman. But that thing has holes in it, and is threading everywhere but that is what he wanted to be. Best $10 I ever spent. :)Leila had 2 costumes. I already had a princess dress for her but it was really big and she wanted this one so bad, so I just got it for her. She was so cute in it.
We first went to the outlets in Carlsbad and they had a ton of fun. At first Leila just wanted to eat every candy she got, but then she got the hang of it. It was sooo cute hearing her say dankyou after every store.

After that we went home and got some rest. Then got ready for round 2. I ended up putting her in the princess dress for our night time trick or treat. And Tylana got a cute bow from my brother so we got her a cute onesie to match. Princess Ariel.
They were just so cute going door to door. My friend told me about a spot up the block from us that is always busy and has good candy. The kids loved it because so many houses were decorated and there were tons of other kids there with cool costumes. They didn't want to leave.
We had to go and see my brother and the twins. They were lady bugs!!! They were so cute.
I don't know what we are going to do with all our candy. We also got candy to hand out but no one came after we got home. :( So we have lots. AHHHHHHHHHHH I don't want to throw it out but I don't want to eat it all either. This baby weight is never going to come off, especially with more holidays coming up. ERRRRRRR

Slacker!

I've been horrible at updating my blog, I don't know what my deal is, but I need to step it up. I mean I don't even carry a camera with me anymore, and when I do I don't even take pictures. I use to have my camera on me all the time, I'd even have a back up camera just in case. AHHH, i'm really missing out on a lot of memorable things. :(

Life with 3 kids. I think it has been a little easier than I expected, but that's probable due to a few factors. I mean don't get me wrong it's not easy or anything but I was expecting much worse. What has helped is that Tahri was working from home, Tylana was a really good sleeper AND she takes a bottle. I think the hardest part was the first week. Just trying to do too much but not able to because um you just had a baby! But it is hard not to when you have 2 other little ones that demand so much from you. Tylana was a good little sleeper, she would sleep for like 4 to 5 hours at a time so I could leave her home with Tahri most of the time. Breastfeeding would take forever and it was such a pain, because for the first time it was sore and I had two other kids climbing all over me while trying to breastfeed and burp her. The bottle was so much faster, AND Tahri could often help with feeding duties.

Almost 6 weeks later and things are starting to get a little hectic. Because I was so sore I'm not really breastfeeding anymore, once maybe twice a day. With my other 2 breastfeeding was really easy and I never know what people were talking about when they would say they were really sore from breastfeeding. BUT now I do and man does it hurt! Hence not really breastfeeding anymore. I feel really bad about it but it seriously is WAAYY to painful to do. Poor Tylana :( Anyone have any suggestions on how to heal? I don't see how it can be done!

I've felt guilty a lot with my third baby. Guilty about my time, guilty for my Leila girl, guilty about spreading the love, guilty for being so impatient. Oh I can go one. Man it is tough being a mom sometimes. Your heart just hurts sometimes.

I love my little family so much and just wish that I could be so much better than I am. Okay I'm rambling. Tomorrow I'm going to take my camera with me. :)
