Another quick update..

I can't even believe that I still haven't posted pictures to my blog yet. I am being a total slacker, but I just don't want to take the time to upload the pictures. I'd rather be holding my baby girl or something.. ha ha. But just to quickly write down a few things...
Kinleigh has been the most amazing baby ever! She rarely cries. She is usually so content. Sometimes Jonathon and I worry because she never cries. Every night since she was born, I've had to wake her up to feed her. She would let us sleep for probably 5 or 6 hours if I let her. So right now I am setting an alarm clock to wake myself up to feed her. She is the cutest little baby girl ever and we just love her so so so much :)
Alexis adores her little sister, and it is so fun to see them together!
Kinleigh is a good little eater so far, which has been nice. Other than she is always sleeping, and I have to keep waking her up. Breastfeeding did not go well with Alexis, so I really wanted it to go good with Kinleigh. I feel like so far it is going good, but sometimes I worry that the same thing will happen that happened with Alexis. My body just didn't produce enough milk. Sometimes it seems like Kinleigh gets plenty.. then other times it seems like she'll nurse forever, and she'll still act hungry. Who knows.. but I'm going to keep doing my very best to get this whole breastfeeding thing down.
Although Kinleigh has never woken me up at night... I am still not getting much sleep at all. I feel like I'm always in and out of sleep just checking to make sure that Kinleigh is alright.. and that she is still breathing and everything. She sleeps so good that sometimes I have to wake up just to check to make sure everything is okay. Anyways I just love her so so much, and I couldn't ask for a better baby.

On another note.. Jonathon started his new job with my dad yesterday. He had to go up to Salt Lake on Monday for training. The baby and I got cleared by the doctor on Monday.. he said we were okay to travel and head over to Elko to be with Jonathon. My mom and I left on Tuesday and just stayed the night in Provo. We drove to Elko yesterday.. so today is the first full day we've spent here at the hotel. I don't know how well all of us will do with having to live in a hotel for about a month... but I guess we'll see. It's kind of neat, and it feels like a little vacation. Alexis of course loves it because she gets to go swimming all the time. It's crazy that we are back here in Elko. The job is well worth it though! Last night my mom, dad, Chad, Kelly, Jonathon, Alexis, Nicole, Kinleigh, and I went and got something to eat right across the street from our hotel. Chad and Kelly's room is right across from my mom and dad's.. and our room is right above Chad and Kelly's. Sam's room is downstairs as well, and Ami is actually coming this weekend to visit. Kelly and Nicole will probably stay here in Elko with Chad for a couple of weeks. It's pretty crazy that all the boys are working together again. They are all on the same crew.
I will be very sad when my mom leaves from here on Sunday. It's be so fun to be around her every day. I won't miss Monticello at all, but I will miss seeing my mom, grandma, Ami, and Derek. We will get to see my dad everyday while we are over here.. but I wish my mom was able to stay. If Derek wasn't in school she would, but she doesn't like leaving him home alone too much. I'm sure her house will be very quite without Alexis running around. She will be missed by all of us.

Well I still can't really believe that Kinleigh is actually here. I really just want time to stop for a little bit. I don't want her to get big too fast.

I feel like I'm healing pretty quickly. Some things still really really hurt. If I walk around too much my incision really starts to hurt. It still is hard to sit up from a lying down position. I just feel like I get really worn out fast. I can't wait till I feel completely normal again. Sometimes I get upset because I can't stand not feeling like myself. I hope I continue to heal well, and that my incision won't get infected or anything like that.

Anyways.. once again I don't feel like posting pictures, because once I start posting them I will just keep going.. and I don't want to ignore Alexis or Kinleigh. One of these days when they are both napping I will try and get all the adorable pictures of Kinleigh up. Mainly becasue I have to because this is my scrapbook :)
