My Mom

I love these pictures with my Mom and Cash!
So as everyone knows this wasn't the easiest pregnancy and my Mom was there for me through it all. I can't tell you how grateful I am for her. She came up here when we first found out about Cash just to be with me and she came up to take care of Belle when Cash was born. She did absolutely everything for me. I barely lifted a finger. I wish everyone could meet my mom. She is the most kind, loving, faithful, sweet, hilarious person you could ever know. She is constantly thinking of other people! I have no idea what I would have done without her last week. I was so relieved to have her here. She made me so comfortable, happy, and full. hahah she was always trying to get me to eat. The picture of the bagel was my favorite hahah my mom puts fruit on everything.... And I mean everything. So she hands me this meal and I couldn't stop laughing. cream cheese, meat, and APPLES hahah oh my! hahaha you think after having a baby I would just want to sleep but my Mom made the week so fun and so stress free I didn't even want to, I didn't have a care in the world! I seriously laughed all week long! Thank you so much Mom for being there for me through all of this! I pray that I will be half as good as a Mom as you are! I love you so much. I miss you so much already!

Life with 2!

CHEEESE!!!! Belle has had her up and down moments with Cash and has beaten me up! hahah She loves the new baby but I think she is ready for him to leave. She likes to pull his blankets off and try to knock him off everything so she can sit on HER chair. She gets way frustrated that I can't hold her so she follows me around pulling on my pants. I have tried so hard to make Belle feel like she is still our princess but I usually get slapped in the face! Hahah we are all learning to get use to this change. I am so proud of her though for being for the most part so good and nice! I love her so much!



Cash is already getting so big! He eats like a horse! He is so good he only wakes up once during the night and he just melts my heart! I was doing stuff in my room and he was in his bed and I thought I was asleep, I looked at him and he had a half smile totally looking at me. Ohhh I just love him so much!

She gets more beautiful each day! We decided if anyonehas seen the movie Never ending story she looks like the princess and Cash looks like "The Anicent one- Morla the big turtle!" hahaha
I love this picture- Daddy with his kids, Belle loves watching people feed Cash when I need a little break from feeding him. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

I haven't been a mother of 2 for long but I absolutely love it. Of course I am tried and going through all the after math but what a blessing children are. They make life so special. Especially when it is so late at night and you are just dying to go to bed but you look over and see this... Your baby sleeping. No matter how tired I am I can't help but smile and stare at him for a while!

Cash Garrett Mullins has arrived!!!

CASH GARRETT MULLINS!!! IS FINALLY HERE AND HOME!!!

Sunday night finally came I had butterflies all day long! So we get all settled and I am only at a one so we had a long night ahead of us. That next morning I was still was at a one and my doctor broke my water.... and the contractions came like every 3 minutes. I was finally at a 3 and my bad hip started killing... even more then the contractions so I asked for my epiderul and my doc said to go a little longer and I got kind of mad but I said ok! Anyways hours go by and I felt like my hip was going to fall off and my contractions were crazy! So I was like ok I am not waiting anymore. The nurse finally got my epiderul and I was so loopy and sooooo HAPPY afterwards! I feel asleep and like 30 minutes later I was like I think he he coming out. My nurse checked me and I was at a 10 and he was coming!!!! I pushed 3 times and he was out. Monkey totally almost fainted the nurses had to help him sit down! hahahahah. I could not stop laughing! Then the best moment.... I finally held my baby! Then out of no where Cash started to breathe all freaky. Like his whole chest looked like it was going to cave in. They couldn't get him to breathe. I of course started to cry and they rushed him to the NICU. My mom got to the hospital and we all just waited for what felt like forever for some good news. They finally came back and told me that he fianlly started to breathe. The nurses sucked a ton of fluid out of his lungs and started to do all these test on him to see if he happened to have trisomy 18. A couple of hours went by and I finally got to go in to the NICU and see Cash. He had a IV and lots of cords- I couldn't stop crying. But I was also so filled with gratitude that he was doing so much better. The doctor still had a lot of test to do to see what was actually wrong with him, so he had to stay in the NICU for awhile.

That night we fianlly got to go hold Cash and I got to feed him, which he did awesome at! Cash had to stay all night and half the next day in the NICU... but I was so grateful and so relieved that he was going to be okay!

After our stressful day and knowing that Cash was going to be alright I finally got to do what I have been looking forward to doing for 9 months... I got to lay on my stomach.

They finally brought Cash to us! I can't describe how I felt . I bet you all could guess.

Belle finally got to come and see her brother!! She loves him!! Thank goodness!

My favorite picture! The Mullins Kids!

Grandma Fauna!! hahaha she has made me laugh so hard.. she didn't know where to pick me up at the hospital, she passed me in my wheel car like twice!!!  She is just so funny!! I love you Mom! I already have no idea what I would have done without her these last couple days!

Aunt Katrina!!!

I am so hppy to be finally home with this little guy!!! I am overwhelmed with the love and prayers of everyone! I am especially grateful to Heavenly Father for knowing what was going on and protecting our baby! Things always works out even when you think it won't. I am so happy and just filled with gratitude and I have learned so much over this pregnancy.

I am 23!!

Well I am a lot bigger than last pregnancy and a little older! I turned 23 on the 4th and what a birthday that was! I found out we were having our baby early. no better news! Monkey was gone all day but when he got home he took me out to eat, took me to get whatever I wanted! (I wanted a "rock on" shirt) haha, and then we got the movie "Roman Holiday!" I had so much fun and Monkey I love you thanks for making my birthday so special. Earlier that day our wonderful friends Jim and Vanessa came over and gave me a birthday present which they so didn't have to but you all know how wonderful they are! That night my cousins Jill, Mere, and Emma brought me a awesome gift, as well as our friend Craig!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE! and of course I can't forget my parents and my in-laws thank you for your gifts! No one had to get anything- But you all are amazing!!! I love you all!! oh and Belle drew me a sweet picture!!! I love you Belle!

So appointment today went so good! He looked great so next week the 15th I will be induced as planned and all I kept thinking is a little over one week I can do this!!... then I go talk to the doctor and the nurse was like so your being induced this monday the 8th and I was like HUH?! no on the 15th so she called the hospital to double check and it's the 8th! she came back to tell me and my mouth dropped! I was like what on earth!!!!? the doctor came into to check me and all that fun stuff they do and I guess I am not ready so they are having me come in this Sunday night to start the induction!!! HUH?!!! I couldn't even consentrate I was so excited! I just ran out of the office and I just knew Heavenly Father answered my prayers. I honestly have no idea how this happened. but I am so grateful it has! If anyone thinks Heavenly Father doesn't answer prayers... you are so wrong! I know even though this has been so hard for me and at times I felt so down he was always there for me! What an amazing birthday gift I got today!!! What an amazing blessing! So next update will be when I am home from the hospital with baby #2 sometime next week!!! I am so excited!

Oh we had a "UP" apointment today!!! I am so happy! He looked great his doppler reading was the same but since I am further along it isn't to the point where they would worry like last week. Oh I needed this appointment today!!! I can just relax and smile this week and not have to stress whilie I wait for Thursdays appointment!! WHAT A BLESSING, SERIOUSLY! But for sure next weekend- sunday night the 14th we will be induced. Thank you everyone for your thoughts!! I am just hoping thursday is another "UP" day! which I am sure it will be!
