Worth every ounce of pain!

Was it the Spicy Mexican food I had for lunch Friday? The 2 Castor Oil cocktails? The Eggplant Parmesan? The full moon? The stars being aligned just right? Or maybe it was just the perfect day for our little Miss Kloe to bless us with her appearance at exactly 38 weeks!!!

I'll try to keep this short and sweet because it was exactly that, short and sweet!! I'll leave it at I was the girl I hated when I heard how easy "their" birth stories were, but YAY it was my turn finally! 4th time the charm?? Going from a 3 to pushing in 30 minutes ain't to shabby to deal with! I'll take that any day over a 16 hour non medicated birth...

I was so nervous to have a Dr. that I had never met deliver my baby, but man he was great! So nice and he made me feel so comfortable considering we met with my legs already up in the stir-ups, hahaha.

Such a relief 10 fingers, 10 toes, breathing and still a girl!!!

Chris was seriously on cloud nine, you would have thought it was his first!

Awww another sweet baby girl...

Here she is Miss Kloe Lane Fogle 7lbs 10oz 20 1/2 inches long, born at 1:21 am

September 6, 2009

So lucky!

another girl that'll have Chris wrapped around her fingers!

Sunday morning Chris brought the kids in to finally meet Kloe!

They're in LOVE and definitely want to keep her!

I always get a few preemie outfits for the first week and they're usually even a little big even though we don't necessarily have peemies, but I think she broke the mold a little with her tallness so we'll be lucky if she gets in a few wears before we move on to newborns...

I think this is my favorite picture so far, I was burping her and had all her chubbyness pushed forward, so stinkin cute!

How obnoxious is that flower?? Don't worry I was only mean and tortured her just long enough for a pic!

Getting ready to head home!

So here we are approaching our first night home, I should definitely be sleeping instead of blogging but I think I'm still on an adrenalin high, I'll be paying for it later I'm sure!

What a great way to spend Labor Day Weekend!!

Huge thanks to the Farrells for taking care of our monsters, feeding us and being our paparazzi!!!

Because every baby is a reason to celebrate!!

For our little cupcake Kloe!!

I was a very lucky girl last Saturday to have the most adorable little shower to celebrate our little Kloe!!

My Aunt made ALL the decorations, they all turned out unbelievable, plus she made them to match Kloe's room! How fun is that??

Sooo yummy and cute!

Ohhh the pin wheels...

and the tiny paper shoes...

Big fluffs of pink everywhere, I love it!

The favors!

and all Miss Kloe's goods!! I feel so grateful to have had such generous friends and family, let alone a shower to begin with!!

Thanks Everyone!!!

It was a very *sweet* evening!

Skool Dayz...

Last Thursday kicked off a new year of School for Lexi!

She's a big 1st grader now! She was quite nervous that nobody would recognize her, cause ya know those bangs were so life changing for her,lol! When I picked her up at the end of the day she was one happy little girl! She loves her new teacher, saw all her old friends and better yet they all remembered her!
Her new desk, 1st in the second row.
outside lining up with her class!
and here she is on day 2!

She's very proud of her first two school days outfits. These are the 2 that she completely picked out all by herself, what a little rock star! (man we were at macy's forever that day!!)

The last week around here.

I can't believe I'm posting these pictures, but I guess it is what it is...or should I say I am what I am, right now anyways... huge and miserable! I'll take it though, cause we can't wait to add a new little sweetie to the bunch!

I told lexi I was going to have her stand on a chair cause like I need any help on my double chin looking down,lol!

Isn't this the cutest car seat ever???

Sneak peak of the baby's room!

I really don't have too much going on in her room yet, the bedding was on back order forever so I'm just now able to match things with the color of her bedding!

Last Sunday we snuck off to Fuddruckers for Melanie's Birthday! It was great food, great company and the kids and Chris had a great time playing all the games, he's such a sucker!!

Riley and Lexi.

P-man

Last Saturday I took Lexi out shopping for her "perfect" first day outfit, shoes and accessories. We had lots of fun, but man it's already started, she wanted everything!! Here she is starting her morning with a nice chocolate milk!

She seriously wanted these hot shutter shades! Since when are shades a must for 1st grade?? She didn't get them or any for that matter but she did do a little fashion show and wanted me to take a picture of her in every pair she tried on, the girl working thought she was hilarious.

Then we were off to get her those bangs that's she's been driving my crazy about

Slushies at Target!

and last but not least Lilly lost her first tooth!!

She'd really like to take her money now and go to Chuck E Cheese!

Baby update is: dilated to 2, frequent contractions, in the process of testing for Pre Eclampsia (don't drink from the orange contain in my fridge, just saying...), crazy swelling, gained 4 lbs last week alone, she said my water retention is nuts (it better be water,lol) So we'll know more tomorrow and maybe just maybe we'll have our little Kloe within the next week!
