Vegas with my babies.

Mothers Day, although wonderful, can be a hard holiday if you don’t have a mother to celebrate it with.

The last two Mothers Day’s we have purposely gone on vacations to be in a happy place during this particular hard weekend for my husband.

It was kind of spur of the moment, but we decided to spend this year in Las Vegas with all our babies.

It was a very quiet & relaxing week in Vegas. It was just what our little family needed. It was a very eye opening experience as it was our first time traveling as the six of us. We learned right away that we cannot travel unless we have two double strollers. So for my husbands birthday next week, that is exactly what I am getting him. One for him, one for me 🙂

My husband also made note of how our family dynamic has changed. We used to be able to take turns taking care of the children, but now it is 24/7 hands on from the both of us. The only taking turns going on is when we sleep. I call it the A // B schedule. One day I take the kids in the morning, Dallin takes care of the baby, I get a nap in the afternoon and then the next day we switch.

It’s a great and crazy time of life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The last time we had been to Vegas was when Holland was a brand new baby, and my word have things changed 🙂

Here is my current favorite song that pumped us up for Vegas…Baby…Vegas! 🙂

Enjoy!

Preschool Adieu

Is this really happening? Is today really the day?

I’ve been racking my mind where time has gone. At 11:45 I’ll be picking up Hudson from his last day ever of preschool!

I still remember when I first dropped off my little two year old Hudson for his first day of preschool at his adorable school. There is nowhere else I would put him. I wanted somewhere he could go that felt homey and very nurturing. I started him a little earlier than I expected but with having a new baby I wanted him to feel special too. And three years of preschool and three siblings later he is done.

And here I am in total disbelief…

Excited it’s now summer, but sad as we end the preshool era.

Two Weeks Young

May 9, 2017 By Shannon Bird Leave a Comment

Quite possibly my favorite picture…ever! I love seeing what all my babies two weeks or younger looked like and to compare their sweet little features.

Yesterday we went to Brooklyn’s two week appointment and I am on cloud nine. I couldn’t be a happier mom.

He has grown 3 inches since birth (18 – 21) and went from weighing 6.15 lbs at birth, to 6.5 5 days post birth, and now at two weeks weighs a whopping 7.9 lbs!

We found out why I can only feed my baby via pumping, little Brooklyn is sure enough lip tied, just like 2 of his other siblings were. <<Man these genetics are strong>> 3/4 of my children have been lip tied,  tongue tied, or both. Hollands wasn’t caught until she was almost 3! Hence her lack of weight gain and both my two oldest babies never sleeping for more than an hr at a time. Legit! They could never get a good grip or full feeding. This is why I am so thankful for my pump, because of it Brooklyn can get a full feeding and can sleep for a long period of time.

**if your baby has a hard time nursing check their mouth**

Still in baby heaven and getting the hang of having a newborn around the house. I love his sweet little self and how trusting he is in us to take care of him. He is so soft, he literally feels like velvet. And he smells like Heaven!
