4 Months!
This little lady is 4 months old today! It is amazing how quickly time passes. Here are some things I want to remember about this time. She spends most of her time rolling over to her belly, getting stuck, and screaming for help! This girl knows how to eat! She enjoys time in her bouncer and watching Garfield! She is so amazingly smart and strong! Tenley has the happiest disposition, she is constantly smiling and doing funny things. She is sleeping better about 10-5! (which is a blessing for sure)
Its hard to express how much she has changed our lives for the better! She is a sweet blessing from our Heavenly Father! We sure love this girl!

Mesquite & Our Journeyman!
On Wednesday we headed down to Mesquite, NV for Tyler's Journeyman banquet. The trip was a little more tricky now that we have Miss Tenley. We spent most of are time in our room considering it was in a casino; not really a great place for babies;) We had a good time though and are so proud of Ty. He worked so hard to get to this point, and we sure are grateful for how well he takes care of us. He worked for alot of years, and spent a lot of time in school to get this award and become a journeyman. We love this guy!

Blessing Day!
Today was a pretty special day for this little gal! Today was Tenley's blessing day. Tyler gave her a beautiful blessing. We love that guy and are grateful for the beautiful blessings promised to our Tenley. After church we had a little get together with friends and family. We are blessed to be surrounded by such good people who love this little girl. Even my parents got to come along with Cortney, Heath & her little girls. It was a good day.

Christmas 2011
This Christmas was great. We got the sweetest Christmas present we could ask for. We got to celebrate this year with our sweet little Tenley.
We woke up Christmas morning and opened presents. Tyler got me the most beautiful necklace with Tenley's birth stone in it. I got Tyler a new pair of wool pants. After gifts we got ready and headed to Ty's parents. Pretty uneventful but it was a nice day spent with our new little gal and family.

So I Don't Forget.....
I wanted to write about this before I forgot the details. I'm not very good at documenting things and want to be better...so here we go.
My pregnancy was actually really easy.( I know I probably just jinxed myself for the future) I was never sick, and felt really good for the most part, aside from feeling pretty tired. I have to admit that I do NOT enjoy being pregnant, but the outcome made it worth it.
I was hoping that she would come early around 38 weeks, but everytime I went to the doctor I got the same news "no progress". This was really annoying because I was definately done being pregnant. So we waited and at 40 weeks had another appointment. I still hadn't progressed but my blood pressure was a little high so he wanted to go ahead and induce labor. This was Good news, overwhelming news, but good news. The fact that she was reallly coming terrified me. The next morning (1/7/11) we got the call that we needed to be at the hospital at 11:30 AM. We got checked in and waited for the doctor. This was the start of a long day of waiting. I was basically starting from 0 so we knew that it would probably take time. I felt pretty good all day and the contractions didn't start until later that night. I didn't even know that it was a contraction I was feeling, I just knew that it didn't feel good. I was doing fine until they started to come about a minute apart. I didn't even consider not having an epidural (i'm not trying to be a hero here people), if they were offering it I was taking it. Once I had gotten the epidural things went pretty smooth from there. The doctor came in about 5 AM and said he thought we were about ready. Once I started pushing, it was only 30 minutes later that the little lady arrived.
We both thought she was going to be a little baby, because I never got very big during the pregnancy, so we were surprised to have a 7lb 13 oz baby. She was perfect though and just the sweetest little thing. Its hard to describe the exhaustion that came afterward. (still exhausted) :) We stayed in the hospital for 2 days, terrified of going home. What was I going to do with this baby? We were clueless to say the least, and probably still are. Tenley had to stay a little longer because her bilirubin levels were quite high. She had to stay under the lights for a few hours longer. The hospital was awesome and let us stay in our room until she was able to go. Once home we had to keep her under a bili light for a while longer. She is now doing great. We sure do love this little lady!!
