Lyla Claire Swain

Lyla made her way Oct.17th 12:05pm she weighed 6lbs 10 ounces and was 20 1\2 inches long.

We are so happy to have her here! Kennedy and Chloe adore her! She is a great baby so far. This weeks has been a bit crazy Justin had a pretty crazy work week. half the people in Justin's office came down with the swine flu which meant no time off for him. I have felt like I am constantly packing up to go to the doctor to have Lyla's Jaundice and blood sugar levels tested. And as of Saturday Lyla was not the only one I was taking to the doctor. Chloe all of a sudden had a fever (no swine flu we had her tested) but she still has a fever. Justin's parents took her so that she doesen't get the rest of us sick, I have a fear of a having a newborn up at primary Childrens so until she is fever free for 24hrs she is with Justin's parents and I am missing her like crazy. I guess you could say I am really getting a feel for being a mom of 3 now. I kinda am wishing I could go back to the hospital and be pampered and be with my husband and baby. Luckily I do have some great family and friends and ward that is helping us out with dinner and has taken Kennedy for me (she is bored out of her mind being with mom all day reminding her every 5 min to sanitize her hands) Enough whining here are some pictures of our precious new little one!

Suprise!!

A couple weeks ago my sweet sister threw me a suprise baby shower! It was amazing, she went to so much work. I went to breakfast and shopping with my step mom, she managed to get me out of my house by 8am which for me is extremely early (this is why I don't look so great) I didn't take much time to get ready. So we were driving through my neighborhood on the way home and I did notice some balloons and didn't think anything of it I was just busy chatting away. When we drove up my sister's car was in the driveway and there was a big "E" and some balloons on my garage I still had no idea what was going on. To my suprise I walked in my house and there were family and friends all the way up my staircase waiting for me! I was in complete shock. I don't think I have ever been so suprised in my life, it was amazing all the people who came to show thier love and support for me and this new little one that will be joining our family soon. Everything was amazing the food, the decorations, my sister and her husband did not forget one little detail.

We got completely spoiled, I got some really cute clothes for the baby, I got a cute outfit for myself for after I have the baby, some of my neighbor friends pitched in and paid for me to have my house cleaned, a new double stroller, a new carseat, a new swing, diaper bag, a hospital bag packed with new pj's a robe and treats, it keeps going! I cannot believe everything and how spoiled I am.

I am so thankful for everything. I was really starting to wonder if this little girl would have any clothes (I let a friend use all of mine) and it will be SO nice to have a new swing and stroller I have in the past used a swing and stroller that was hand down from Justin's sister they were 16 yrs old. Most of all I am so thankful to have so many people who love me I felt so loved and blessed to have so many who came and showed thier love and support. Thank You everyone!!
