6 Months Old

I can't believe that Halle is 6 months old, TODAY! Wow, that time has flown by, yet felt as though it has completely stood still. Back when she was born, I was going to put up a post of her and about her birth but life went into crazy mode seeing as how Micheal passed away just 3 days after I had her. Anyway, I decided to put it in with her 6 month post. Lots of pictures, just a warning... You don't like it, get off!

Here is the little cutie today. She seriously has the most contagious smile. It's impossible to see that adorable smile and not just smile yourself. Halle is obsessed with Amy, no joke. She cries when she leaves, she grabs for her pictures that are in my house. She beams with joy as soon as she sees her.

Here I am pretending to be in atrocious labor. I was in labor with Chloee for 30 hours, this one was only 20. Woot woot, I cut off 10 hours!

She was 8 lbs 3 oz and 2 WEEKS early! My dr said she would have been over 10 lbs for sure if I had gone full term. I'm destined to have big kids. Chloee was 8 lbs. 4 oz. and she was a week early. Ok, well they're big for me.

That first time I held her in my arms was magical. There is no other way to explain it. You can actually see the tear running down my cheek. Nice photography Josh!

Anyone who knows me, knows I love my OBGYN. That is why I still went up to Logan to have my baby, even though I live in Layton. He is amazing and if we are going to move out of state, I'll make sure we are done having kids first. Dr. Horsely is the best dr I have ever had, no joke! Thanks Mel for referring me to him.

Look at how much hair she had when she was born, and it was curly. She doesn't even have that much now. I guess her head grew and now her hair is trying to catch up with it.

Grandma and Chloee. Chloee stayed at Grandma Renae's house while we were at the hospital. She loved it.

My Dad is so cute, he even wore his "grandpa" shirt to the hospital to see her.

I had to post a picture of me a few days after I had Halle. You can see from the picture that I wasn't this huge, enormous person that I am now. I had lost majority of my weight, then Micheal died. I couldn't cope or deal with anything, so I called my dr and told him he had to give me something to get me through the funeral. I couldn't deal with it and I needed something that would just shut me down so that I could get through everything. He put me on this certain medicine for 30 days, that is all. It did make me completely docile. I really wasn't happy or sad, I didn't really cry a lot, I didn't smile, laugh, scream. You know it just shut my emotions down. It was nice because I could actually be there for everything and not mentally breakdown every time I turned around. DOWNSIDE: I gained 45 lbs in 30 days. I read more about the medicine. Yes, evidently the biggest side effect to that drug is "excessive weight gain" was how it was put. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? My child is 6 months and I weigh more now than I did the day I had her! Blah!
