Torticollis

So ever since April was born she has had a hard time nursing/breast feeding. She goes through nursing strike's for a couple of days. I had no Idea what was going on. I kept thinking it was me and I was doing something wrong.
Well a couple of days ago we noticed that April's head was tilted a little to the right, I didnt think much of it seeing as she is only 3 months old. Kevin said he was a little worried so I decided to take her into her pediatrician. Turns out she has Torticollis. Her neck has muscles that are too tight on one side. I guess that is why she has never been able to nurse well. Its super painful for her the poor girl:( It breaks my heart!
I now have to do special stretches with her head/neck each day. I might even have to take her to a physical therapist. I guess we will see when we take her in for her 4 month appointment and see if its getting better. I pray it does.

April is 2 months!

Today was April's 2 month appointment. She is actually 2 months and 2 weeks old. Well it hasnt exactly been the best of days lol. It all started when I got to April's doctors appointment at the Payson office, when I got there they told me that her doctor is in Spanish Fork today. HUH? Why didn't they tell me that when they called to remind me. Anyway I drove to spanish fork and was obviously late for her appointment. Had to wait a little while, no big deal. Once I got in they weighed her and she is now 13 pounds 10 ounces. Big girl:) her head size is in the 90th percentile and her height is in the 65 percentile. After he made sure she was doing well it was time for her shots. Ugh! I hate shots! I got myself ready to hold my baby for the shots, only for them to come in and say they ran out of all the immunizations that she needed. What the heck!?! How does that happen? Anyway now I have to go back in sometime this week to have her get her shots. Im super annoyed but I am glad that she is doing great!!

I just have a feeling that I need to say how blessed I am! I have such an amazing husband who works so hard for our family! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with our girl, because my husband works so hard! He is such a wonderful daddy to our girls!
I am so lucky to have amazing In-laws!! They have always been supportive of me and Kevin! They have always been there for us! They have helped me so much through the years. Our girls love them and love spending time with them! Alex always loves Sundays because we always go over to Grandma's and Grandpa's house! She just loves them all! I am so greatful for the special love I have with my mother in law! Back when Kevin and I were getting married she is the one who took me through the temple, I am so greatful she was willing and was there for me!
I need to work on being a better person! I need to stay positive and stop looking at the bad things in life because I am surrounded by wonderful things everyday!!
I am so blessed to have a testimony! I am so blessed to know that I will see my dad again one day:) Kevin's grandpa just passed away this last week and it was so hard for the family! He was a wonderful man and I am so happy to know that there is life after this and that this is not goodbye. Just a see you later! I am so greatful for eternal families! Without this knowledge I don't know what I would do!

April's Blessing Dec 4, 2011

We had April's Blessing last sunday on the 4th of December. It was a wonderful day! Both of our families were able to make it and the circle of elders was wonderful!!
Kevin is such a wonderful daddy:)
After the blessing we had a get together back at our Condo clubhouse. It turned out awesome I made some pork for sandwiches and so did My father in law. I was quite pleased with how things turned out. I think everyone had a great time!
I am so greatful and blessed! I am so lucky to have such amazing in-laws! I love my girls and my husband with all my heart!!

My attempt at editing:)

I am no photographer at all, but I wanted some cute pics of April so I did my best:)

Swimming

Alex loves going swimming! I am so glad that we chose the Condo to buy! Having the pool right there next to us is awesome!! Daddy and Alex have gone swimming a few times and once I am all healed from having the baby I plan on going swimming as well! Its so much fun!!

This past October has been super busy!! We bought a house and had a baby!! Its been super crazy and I have to say sometimes my hormones are going a little wacko and I get a little over whelmed with everything but I am so happy with our lives!!
Our new house is in Payson Ut. It is a Condo in a great location and a growing community:)
I love it! At first I was a little iffy with the whole condo thing but now that we live here I defiantly think its the best place for us while Kevin is in school and we don't want to take care of a big yard and stuff. I love being a home owner and whats even better is that we pay only about as much as rent. its crazy how great of a deal we got!!
We now have 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a walk in closet in the master bedroom, and a laundry room. Its a great place I love it!!
Now on to the best part of our new lives, April Lynn is doing awesome! She now weighs 9 pounds 10 ounces. Alex is loving being a big sister and loves to help out, sometimes a little too much but its sweet. We are still learning the difference between being soft and too rough, but she is doing great! The first week home was a little hard and I am so grateful we had Kevin's family so close. They helped us out so much!! I am in such a great place right now and I absolutely love my family!!
