Paislee's 1 week old photo shoot

Shout out to the hubs!

Okay so I just need to take a minute to brag about my wonderful husband. These past four weeks that little Paislee has been in our lives has been amazing to say the least. She has been a super good baby and made being a mom the best thing in the world. But, I know if it weren't for my wonderful husband these weeks wouldn't have been near as good or easy. When I pictured our lives once the baby came I just automatically assumed I would be changing all (well most) of the diapers, getting up every single time in the night with Paislee and having to do all of the motherly things that are expected such as laundry, making dinner, cleaning etc. Jayson has really been the best dad to Paislee. She gets up 2 x in the night and Jayson gets up one of those times so I can get more sleep. It amazes me because sometimes he has to be up at 5:30 or 6 in the morning for work and he STILL gets up to help me. When he is home he changes more diapers than I do! He is always helping me around the house, making us dinner or doing anything he can to make life easier on me AND his business is super busy right now so he is working so so hard when he is away from home. I am so grateful I married such an amazing man and dad.


A couple days ago he came home from work and had a surprise for me. He had gotten me a $50 dollar gift card to massage envy! I was freaking out and he said "You need a massage Kylee. You deserve it!" I about wanted to cry. On the gift card was a message that read, "You the best mommy ever. Thanks for the milk. Love Paislee" haha Jayson really is the best husband ever. I feel so blessed that I married him and that I get to spend forever with him. I couldn't ask for a better husband or father to Paislee. I love you honey!

2 week check-up

Paislee had her 2 week check-up last Friday. I was so nervous because last time they had to prick her foot 5 times for her bilirubin test and STILL didn't get enough blood so we had to go to the lab at the Hospital (lets just say the medical assistants need training from the people that take blood at the lab cause they did it in one shot). I knew they were doing the PKU test Friday and that it would require another prick of the foot. I did my best not to cry on the way (I cried last time they made us go to the hospital ha ha) but Paislee was so good even though those stupid medical assistants STILL had to poke her 3 X for just a small amount of blood! GRRRR! Anywho, everything looked great and she is perfectly healthy. What a blessing that is! She weighs 8 lb 11 oz (61%) and is 20.5 inches (65%)

I love spending all of my time with Paislee. It is the greatest thing in the world. I cant even believe how much more I love her every day. Jayson is so cute with her too. I worried a little that once she came I would have a hard time not having Jayson all to myself all the time but it honestly is so much better. It's crazy how much more in love with Jayson I am. Having a baby truly does strengthen a marriage and its only been 2 weeks! I am so excited for the future and for everything that is in store for our little family!

Her hair goes so curly when you put just a little water on it


Jayson went hunting for the weekend and when he got home and took a nap Paislee literally layed there with her face pressed up against his staring at him like this for 5 minutes straight. She wouldn't take her eyes off him or move even though her face was smashed. haha She missed him so much!

11 days old!

Well Paislee is now 11 days old today. Oh my little girl is growing up so fast! haha, This past week in half that Paislee has been home has been so much fun. I love waking up in the morning and looking over and seeing Paislee laying in her pack n' play with her eyes wide open just waiting for me to get up and hold her. She has been such a good baby! She hardly ever cries and when she does it is only because she is hungry. She is already sleeping like a champ too. She usually wakes up to eat in the night between every 3-5 hours. Last night she slept almost 5 hours before she woke up ready for her night time snack. Every night is different, some great & some not so great, but for the most part she's catching on quick! She is such a good nurser too. We FINALLY have it down, but there is room for ALOT of improvement. I thought it would be hard being a stay at home mom. I've worked for so long and I absolutely loved my job so I worried I would miss it big time. Now that Paislee is here I can't imagine having to leave her. I am so grateful I can be home all day with her and not miss a second out of her life. The days go by so fast and I already wish time would slow down since I know these newborn moments won't last too much longer. All I can say is being a mommy is the best thing in the world!
