Wes's Little Sister

Wes has been loving having a little sister lately. He is so sweet to Gracee when he wants to be! Whenever he talks to her she just laughs out loud and talksback to him. It has been really fun to watch the two of them interact with each other! Here are some pictures I took the other day while they were watching TV together and a few I snapped while my back drop was up.

Stacey's Adorable Belly

So a couple months ago I made my older sister Stacey let me take some pictures of her adorable prego belly. She is pregnant with her 6th, yes I said 6th baby and she is by far the cutest pregnant person I have ever seen! Her belly is just perfect and I knew she would love the pics when we were done, she is too modest to post these herself so I decided to. I am so excited to see my little nephew in 11 days, Stacey is the best mom and I can't wait for her to have a new little one. Thank you Stacey for letting me take these and also for being such a great example to me! I look up to you so much and I am so thankful for all you do for me and my kiddos! Wes cries in the morning's when he realizes that he has to stay home with me and not go to Aunt Stacey's!

Why do they have to get big?

I have been sitting here today looking through pictures trying to decide what pictures to print out (I am so bad about printing out pictures) and it hit me, children grow way too fast! Wes is so big, it honestly feels like he was just a baby last week and now he is a big boy who talks back to me every time I tell him to do something! Gracee is growing up too, she is still very little in size but is acting so much older now. She had her two month appointment today and she weighs 8lbs, putting her in the 3% for her weight. She is smiling now and holding her head up pretty good and moves all over the place! I love my children so much and I just want them to stop getting so big! Just last night Eric was looking at Gracee while she was asleep on me and said "I just want an exact replica of her at this size that I can hold so tight with out hurting and that will never get big!" We are so happy to be at this stage in life where our kids are little and we are trying to enjoy every minute, even the ones filled with crying!

Gracee's First Couple Weeks

Gracee turns one month old today and I am so sad, it's going by way too fast! She is still so small so I can't say I am sad because she is getting bigger but I am sad she is getting older. She is such a sweet baby and Wes has been the best big brother. Gracee has had a hard time gaining weight so I am still having to set an alarm to wake her up every three hours. I think she would sleep all night if I let her! We are hoping she is close to 6lbs now, I took her in on Monday to be weighed and she was 5lb 8oz. If anyone knows how to make my milk more fatty or ways to increase your milk supply other than taking More Milk Plus(I am currently taking it) let me know!

Gracee Lyn Dwiggins

Last Tuesday I was having a lot of small contractions so Eric and I decided we better go to the hospital to get things checked out but we were sure we would be sent home and told that they would see us in a couple days. It looked like that was what was happening but then all the sudden I started having more and more hard contractions so my Dr. decided to keep me! Gracee was born at 6:45 am on Wed. March 4th. She weighed 5lbs 4 oz and is 17 and 1/2 inches long! She is our tiny little Princess, I took her for her first Dr. appt. on Friday and she was down to 4lbs 13oz. It has been great to have her here, Wes loves her and is adjusting really well to having a baby sister. She is a really good baby and is so kissable! Eric is loving having a baby girl, he tells me how he just wants to squeeze her so tight and is constantly kissing her. We are all in love with her hair and can't believe how much of it she has. She looks so much like her Daddy, she has his eyes and nose and the same hair line, lucky for her we can tell it is growing in upfront, sorry Dad! Gracee is so sweet and we are so happy to have such a sweet little family!

ADORABLE!!!!

Ok, so I titled this post adorable because that is all I can say about everything in it! This will probably be my last post for a little while because Gracee is due to make her arrival soon! I am not due for 3 wks but it looks she will be here soon! First, I need to thank everyone who helped make Gracee's room look like this. As proud of it as I am, I really didn't have all that much to do with it! Eric was the one who researched baby girl nursery's on google and found the idea for the paint and trim work! I loved the idea so we ran with it, he also is the one to draw all the stripes and do all the trim work! So thanks babe for making my dream nursery become a reality! Next, I need to thank Stacey and my very talented mother-in-law Janna for helping make the crib bedding! Yes, we made the bedding which turned out so beautiful! All the decor in the room was hung with the help of Stacey and Cari, I just put it where they told me to! Also, check out the great Magnet Board the Cari made, it is so pretty! This room was definitely put together with love by some very talented people, I am not bragging about myself because honestly I just did what I was told! Anyways, I just wanted to show off Gracee's sweet nursery and tell everyone thank you so much for all the help!
