She is growing so fast. Seriously, it's not okay. Anywho… Kayla is still being an angel baby. She's so quiet. She only fusses a little bit when she's hungry. She sleeps so well. Like the other day she was fussing because it was time to eat, but I was trying to finish cleaning. So I started vacuuming and it put her to sleep. Pretty awesome. We're just hoping it stays this way. And that the next baby isn't the exact opposite. But time will tell. 

So last week I finally felt pretty comfortable with our schedule and progression, so I decided it was time to focus on me a little bit and start working out again. First off, OUCH. If we're being completely honest it's been way too long since I've worked out. Sadly much longer than before I got pregnant. Funny side note… Before I got pregnant we started looking around at gyms, and since I had been talking about it so much Jacob finally said let's just do it, so we signed a contract one Saturday… 2 days later, on the next Monday, we found out I was pregnant. So technically I did attempt to work out since we had just signed a year contract and all, but it didn't last long… Back to now… This is so discouraging. Being so sore because it's been way too long, and not seeing results. I know it takes time to see any, but I'm so incredibly impatient… And it makes it so discouraging. And I'm a visual person so the number on the scale is what I look at, even though I know how bad of an idea it is to use that as my single source of progression. I'm just impatient and feeling blehhh… Hopefully I keep up with this though and I'll see some changes in the next month or two. End rant.

Last week I also met with my boss to tell her I had decided not to come back to work. Before baby I had all intention of going back part time. I don't know how to explain it, and maybe it's something that only some people will understand, but once she was born I just couldn't do it. So I went in to tell my boss in person, trying to do it as professional as possible, because if staying at home wasn't to work out I didn't want to burn any bridges. I knew she didn't want to see me go. And she had a feeling I wouldn't want to come back once the baby was here. But she offered me to come and work on stuff in the office for 2 hours a week. So it looks like I'm not completely done there yet. Which really, 2 hours is nothing. And I'll be in the office and NOT back in the pharmacy. And that makes a HUGE difference. Plus she said I can come in anytime, which is even more convenient. So it looks like I'll be trying this out.

When I started this post, I felt like I would't have much to say. Proved myself wrong there ;) But no post of mine would be complete without pictures. And do I ever have millions of pictures these days. Enjoy :)

sometimes she's a cross-eyed baby

typical pic we send to daddy - i love my baby k cuddles

dad is a fan of the stache...

it only took over 2 weeks for her cord to fall out. but as her daddy says now her belly button is "so cute" hahah

now that her cord is out and she can get a real bath, she really enjoys bath time. no more screaming because she's so cold.

totally worth it.

for being so stinking cute, she sure is stinky sometimes...

vday breakfast. heart shaped bacon. heart shaped toad in the road ( or one eyes as Jacob calls them) and just normal hash browns...

This is how he wraps presents. every time. i kind of love him.

"my heart belongs to mommy" this outfit lasted about 10 minutes before she spit up all over it...

my valentine!

Sometimes I make us all matchy-matchy for church :)

seriously though, those cuddles :)

celebrating Jacob's birthday with his family

we went to lunch with him on his birthday

it's so cute when she sucks on her hands/fingers

she doesn't like me taking millions of pictures. and i secretly love this picture. sorry baby k.

sometimes. well most times. she's happiest when I hold her. so the only reason daddy's birthday dinner was ready on time was because of this...

Bella and me after dinner for Jacob's birthday

about a week before she was born, I went VT and the topic of cake balls came up. I had been craving them since then. it only took about a month for me to make them. They were a hit. 

Love him!!

when it gets really cold, we put her in this bear suit. we like to call her an ewok baby when she's in it. any star wars fans??

Poor thing will never live this down. we laugh every time. I don't know if this video will ever get old!

me working out wears her out. how does that work out?

1 month old

growing like a weed!

lunch with daddy. so far we've done this about once a week. she's normally asleep the whole time. its still kind of my favorite every week.

Last side note: a year ago we got Jacob's truck, i went to gina's bridal shower (their 1 year anni is this weekend) and I convinced Jacob it was time to start trying for a baby.

SO SO SO grateful for him, for the fact that he puts up with me (that's no easy task) and our sweet baby Kayla!!!

is a family selfie a thing? oh well...
