Pierce Family Life
After weeks of feeling like I was going to go into labor any minute the time finally came. At 6:25 a.m. on Friday, August 1st my water broke as I stood up. I was so excited. I rushed to the bathroom where Gabe was finishing up getting ready for work....
He's has been waiting for this day for a long time. He just misses the cut off for kindergarten by 2 weeks so he is just now starting pre-school. I kept asking him if he was going to miss me and he kept telling me no. September 8th was back to school...
He's a big boy. He weighed in at 12 lbs 6 oz at his 1 month appointment. Which was actually at 5 weeks. He is exactally 3 lbs more than his birth weight. He's getting up 2-4 times a night Starting to smile He is very loved by Layton and Kaiyah He loves...
I wouldn't trade this for anything! These are the little things that make me extremely grateful that I am at home with my babies! Layton says, "I put up my blocks." Well I thought, maybe all that telling him to put away his toys when he is done playing...
I was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner. Gabe went up to take a shower and Layton was in his play room listening to music. So I thought....Gabe never heard him come into the bathroom and when he got out of the shower this is what he was looking...
Well over the weekend I decided that since I can not bake anything that I would make some caramels. It brought back such great memories. My Grandma Pressley used to make these every year. It made think back to all the wonderful times we had with her....
The reality hasn't really set in. It still all feels like a bad dream. I think to some, it was no secret that when I first met you I didn't like you. Maybe more I didn't like the thought of someone taking up my mom's time. I remember telling mom you were...
Happy Birthday to a wonderful Dad! I love you and appreciate you more than I can ever express to you. You have always been one of my biggest cheerleaders and a huge support! Even if the decisions I have made may not have been the most responsible! For...
January 21st marked the start of 12 weeks. This pregnancy to this point has gone extremely fast! The end of the 11th week I really started to get my energy back although I still feel sick in the morning and sometimes after I eat. I do feel lucky I don't...
Not many changes in the past couple of weeks! Just a bigger belly. I am sleeping a little better in the past few weeks. So that has been nice. Weight gained to date: I haven't weighed myself lately Maternity Clothes: I can still wear a few pairs of my...
Starting feeling the baby move at the end of last week. Love that feeling! I am feeling good. Getting comfortable while sleeping is becoming a little more difficult. I toss and turn ALOT!! I know it will only get worse. That's ok someday I will be able...
The kids had and opportunity through MOPS to be able to tour a local fire station in town. They we both really excited til we got there. Kaiyah wanted me to hold her and Layton hid behind my legs. It didn't take long for them to warm up. We got to see...
Tuesday July 8th marks the start of 36 weeks. I am going for weekly appointments now and we are getting more exctied by the day! My doctor is getting ready to leave for vacation and she is hoping that I have Levi before she leaves. I would not be upset...
I was standing at Kaiyah's closet a few days ago and looking at one of her many adorable outfits. There is this cute 9 month dress and I said out loud, "Aww, I can't wait for her to be able to wear this." Oh yes I was talking to myself! I later got to...
I can only hope that one day Layton and Kaiyah will have the relationships with their cousins that I have with mine! I had read a post on facebook about how your cousins are some of your first friends and they will always be there to put up with your...
We are exctied to have had the arrival of our second baby! Kaiyah Eileen Lorraine Pierce. She was born on August 16th, 2011 at 10:44 a.m. Such a special day as it would have been my Grandma Pressely's 81st birthday! I was so blessed with a short 8 hours...
There are days I wish I could slow down time. I am loving this season of life! I can't hardly believe that today marks 3 months since our precious little Kaiyah was born. She is staying awake more, starting to laugh, and is full of smiles from the time...
With the warm weather we have been spending lots of time outside! We love having a pond in the back yard, fishing, looking for frogs, what more could a boy ask for? This past Saturday Gabe and Layton were taking advantage of all of this. I decided to...
Do you remember that feeling of waking up on Christmas morning and KNOWING that Santa had come. Oh man, I have some great memories. On year I woke up to a beautiful Barbie house. I was beyond excited. Another year Justin and I woke up after the presents...
This is probably tops the list of horrible feelings I have felt since I became a Mom. Monday morning I went to the store just like I usually do. When we are done I do the self check out and Layton helps me. Which he was doing an extremely good job of....
I had seen in the paper several week ago an opportunity to eat breakfast with Santa here in Grabill. So I was telling Latyon how fun it would be to do this. He looks at me and says, "That's probably not a good idea." I thought well this will probably...
I feel like I was just announcing that we welcomed our baby girl into the world! While I realize she is only 1 and in the whole grand scheme of things that isn't very long. I just feel as though I blinked and the whole year passed! She is pretty AMAZING....
Well I have been wanting to take the kids and go pick strawberries since last year. Since the heat was EXTREME last year I decided that I did not want to chase two small children around the strawberry patch in 90+ weather. With the nicer weather this...
A little over a week ago my Dad was doing some work at his house. Gabe was helping so we dropped him off on the way to church and after we went to picked him up. Layton of course had to get out and see HIS Nana and Papa when we got back. My Dad had a...
Were in the car last week driving to visit Nana and Papa and I hear Kaiyah just laughing and talking away. I look back and Layton is waving at her with this huge grin on his face. It melted my heart. It's amazing to me how two people so tiny and so little...
