Pregnancy back track....

 

I love to look back at each pregnancy ❤ Although this one wasn't the easiest, it is still such a precious time that I hold dear. I should probably compile all of my pictures/posts to compare each one, but for now Kylie's gets her own post just like the boys did!

Telling the boys the exciting news! Their guesses are hilarious and Lucas's face/reaction at the 25 second mark is literally my most favorite.....

I saw this shared over social media time and time again during the start of COVID. I thought it was the perfect way to announce our news!

And then the belly started growing...earlier and earlier each time 😉

14 weeks

18 weeks

20 weeks

It took 3 ultrasounds to get her to cooperate but we finally learned the exciting news! My mom and Jeremy both told me afterwards that they expected me to be completely depressed if it was another boy and they didn't know what they were going to do about it LOL Since Jeremy wasn't allowed with me at appointments, I had the tech seal it in an envelope. We opened it at home together that afternoon and then got the surprise below ready for the boys.....

(the canvas is now hanging in her room ❤)

30 weeks

 

This was the mark where the contractions hit every 10 minutes or less, all day - every day. We went to the hospital for the first time this week ~ 

34 weeks

38 weeks

I could not believe we hit this mark! Lucas was born 2 weeks early and coupled with contractions starting at 34 weeks, I thought for sure this day would never come.....40 weeks

Little did I know the very next day we'd be headed to the hospital...

.....for the real deal 💝

Three Months!

Wah.......3 months?!?  It doesn't seem that long ago that I was very pregnant, contracting and wondering when little miss was going to decide it was time. Now here we are, almost into March of 2021!!!

No weight check until next month since we don't trust our at home abilities anymore LOL Kylie is still eating every 2 hours during the day which makes it hard to get much done. She is VERY attached to mommy and prefers to be able to see me at all times - even better if I'm also holding her. We've really been enjoying our carrier that I invested in for Seth. At the time it seemed like a ton of money, but 3 kids later and with this needy one, it was sure worth it! It makes the days long but I don't feel like I'm allowed to complain because she goes to bed between 7 and 8pm and wakes up at 4am! We have had a couple 2am days, but still. For how difficult she was in the womb, she is a very good girl 😉 My mom says it's because she got her rebellion done with before she came out so we shouldn't have anymore problems, even in the teenage years 😂

She is currently in 0-3/3 month clothes but I think we will soon be transitioning to 3-6 and wearing size 1 diapers. She has definitely found her voice and loves to tell stories. She decided she was a big girl and sits in the bumbo seat now. I know it's a total parent thing to think that your baby is amazing, but I can't get over how grown up she seems. She's so itty bitty (pictures make her look bigger) but just acts much older. She's started to really enjoy baths, stories and the hanging giraffe on her mat (that was also Seth's favorite). All of her boys make her eyes sparkle and we are all just so thankful that she's here. Before she was born, the boys would pray nightly that she would come out. Every night since November 15th they have thanked God for her ❤

She wasn't feeling our sleepy time pictures and all of the shots below look the same, but how can you pick between these cheesy grins!? 

Holy cow, Mom! 3 months?!?

That's so exciting! 

Yes, thank you Lord for our beautiful rainbow baby. 

Thank you for creating her, forming her and keeping her safe until Your perfect timing. Thank you for choosing us ❤

Our January

 

We rang in the new year at my sisters house ~ 8 adults, 2 teenagers and 10 kiddos all under one roof for two days! It was chaos but incredibly fun and everyone got along so well. Of course I didn't get any pictures but memories were still made ❤ Kylie is our first that doesn't like car rides or fall asleep for trips. She will stay pretty content while you are cruising, but the minute you start to decelerate, she isn't happy and there's no stretching her past her 2 hour feed mark. 

The boys love to build "houses" with blankets, pillows and couch cushions - but one day they made a gym to exercise just like Daddy.....

There are many days Kylie has a sleeping buddy.....

Seth graduated to the next level of growing up! 

And again just a couple days later!!!!!

His sweet, sweet voice ❤ Someone can't let go of Christmas!

I found this in the sky one day ~ how cool!

My beautiful girl.....

We wrapped up the Buffalo Bills season.....

And then all became Chief fans.....😂

The boys don't like to play in the snow if it's too cold and most of the time that they do go out, I stay in with Kylie. But we did get in one family snow day when Beba made a snowman challenge!

We got a new gym piece that Mommy is a fan of!

And another Mommy approved upgrade!

Lucas sings her this song multiple times a day.....

I don't know what he is even saying, 

but I love the way she looks at him.....

Following the Geiger clan.....

She is loved, only a little.....

Our sweet, sassy and silly Lucas 😘

There are countless batman/spiderman battles.....

Time sure flies when you're having fun 💕
