Leah LOVES dance!

Leah has been in dance since Sept and loves it! She does ballet/jazz and is so cute. She had her first dance recital a couple weeks ago and she loved every minute of it! We are so proud of our little ballerina! We were lucky to have Shaun's sisters come and also my really good friend Sarah and her daughter Bridgette who is Leah's best friend

Charlotte at 3 months

It's been busy around our house lately! I can't believe I haven't posted earlier, I will try and post with some new pictures this week!

Charlotte at 2 months

I can't believe it has been 2 months since this sweet baby girl came into our life. She is such a sweet baby and we are so glad to have her!

Weight: 9lbs 2 oz 15%
Height: 21.5 in 22%

Sleeping style- It varies from day to day. She sleeps great during the day and will go 3-4 hours on a good night.

She is a great nurser which I was worried about since I couldn't nurse with Leah. She is gaining weight really well and is getting so so big! She loves to smile and lay down on the floor with her big sister and watch cartoons. She is a very happy baby and only cries when she has a wet diaper, is tired or hungry.

Happy Halloween!

Introducing Charlotte Emma Neeley

Charlotte was born on October 15th at 12:40pm and weighed 7lbs 4oz and 17.5 in long, she is such a sweet baby and Leah loves being a BIG sister!

I went into the hospital to be induced about 6:45 am, I was tired but ready to go! I was put on Pitocin almost right away and and within a couple hours the Dr. came in and broke my water. The nurse we had came in about every 30-45 mins to UP the Pitocin and by about 10:45 I was at 9 drips and was SO ready for an Epidural. I had some back labor and couldn't wait any longer. So I had Shaun ask for them to come in, it took about 10 mins and I sent Shaun out to look for the dr. giving the epidural, I couldn't stand it any longer and luckily he was on his way in! The nurse checked and I was dilated to about a 4 and 90% efaced. The epidural went in and all was well again! I really liked the epidural this time because I could still feel and move my legs without feeling any pain. I remember with Leah I couldn't feel anything and I enjoyed this alot more.

The nurse told me that it would probablly be awhile still and that the Dr. would come in and check me in about an hour or so. Well about 45 mins later Dr. Moreland came in and checked and said I was ready to have the baby! I went from a 4 to 10 in about 45 mins which I couldn't believe. I pushed about 4-5 times and little Charlotte was born!

Leah's Princess Party

I was really excited to throw Leah a 3rd Birthday party, and kept asking her what kind of party she wanted. Well being the almost 3yr old she changed her mind a dozen times BUT I finally settled on a Princess party since she LOVES princesses and dressing up. I have a really great friend Rachel who offered to come do the girl's hair and she even dressed up like the cute Hair Fairy! I had my sister in law make cute felt crowns that the kids decorated and we just played and had cake. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, I know that Leah did for sure!
