8 months old

Lilyanna at 8 months old she sits up by herself and talkes up a storm, laughs all the time she is one happy baby.... 

Getting ready for our frist Christmas 2013

The tree is up and the presents or wrapped we are waiting to see what Santa Brings to us.
We are also very excited to thank our Heavenly father for his son Jesus and to tell him we love with all out hearts.. ( We do this all year all the time but it is fun to celebrate  Jesus's birthday)

I am so excited to watch Lilyanna open her gifts, She is such a sweet and happy baby she always has a smile and a giggle for us she is such a friendly little person I love her so. 

 It is an exciting time of year My sister and I have healed our rift and are becoming closer praise be to God. We are excited to watch Landon and LaShanna share Christmas with Lilyanna.

The snow is coming down like crazy so I see lots of sledding in the future for LaShanna
and Landon....

I have found a really wonderful Church to go to here in Kalispell it is filled with wonderful loving people that just love the Lord.

Well little Lilyanna was born on 4-23-2013 at 6:41PM 7 oz  7 lbs 19 inches long and perfect. She is just as sweet and healthy as anyone could ask for. Thank you God for all your mercy you have had on  this little baby.

I have managed to get a small amount of milk on the right side and she comfort nurses that side most. I do put her on the left to try and bring in some milk on that side. The drops help a lot.

The SNS is not as easy as I thought it would be. I am going to the lactation nurses at the hospital this week to get some pointers on it.
I will not give up. I love nursing her and I am still praying God gives me all the milk I need to be able to nurse her with out the SNS. 

I love being a new mom again. I know this will be my last new baby so I am enjoying every minute except being so tired lol, but that to will pass. LaShanna loves being a big sister and wants to help all the time. she is such an awesome daughter I love her even more now as I watch her adjust to the baby and see her unconditional love. She is such a blessing to me thank you God for my Daughters I feel very blessed to have them....

Lilyanna was born on April 23rd 6:41pm 7pounds 70oz 19 inches long  and healthy birthmom is healthy all is well.

We are leaving today after John gets off work we should have Lilyanna by Thursday evening I am so excited to hold and nurse her and  bond with her at this point I don't even know what she looks like.
I will post pictures as soon as I can

Well we found out that the Birth mother made a huge mistake and was not induced on April 2nd. I have to say I have not been pumping like I should the stress of the wait and all I just stopped I will however Nurse Lilyanna with the SNS and start my drops back up today. I am so excited Lilyanna should be born any time now.  We are a day past her due date I am getting more excited as the time goes on I can't wait to hold her in my arms and see her for the first  time I will post pictures.

I made Lilyanna's Bassinet cover today I have the car seat canopy done and my nursing cover done
all we need now is Lilyanna  

Update I love my new drops there very tasty. I am still pumping every three hours now the baby's birth mother is being induced on April 2nd  also am so excited I am getting Mommy's milk from a dear friend for Lily until my milk comes in if it does. I suppose you wonder in today's age why bother with nursing and human milk, well I feel it is very important for the baby to have all that moms milk has to offer and I want to nurse because I feel it is very important for bonding and it is what God made women to do I loved nursing my boys and would have nursed my 8 year old adopted daughter but I was told  couldn't by my doctor so I believed him. I really feel that more doctors need to know about SNS and inducing  mothers milk..
