Poop and House News

Love that title! Ok so Mikah pooped in the potty today which is huge!! We didn't even ask him...he just came up to us after we got back from Hawaiian Falls and said "I gotta poopoo in the potty." So off he went and yeah! He is a really big boy now!

Also we have our realtor coming right now to discuss our 3 offers we have received for our house! God is so good and faithful! We are humbled that the Lord is showing Himself in such a HUGE WAY!!! He is so amazing!!!!!!!!

Life gets stressful sometimes...

We have been battling some major stress lately...and believe or not, it does not come from having a 3 week old!! It comes from us selling our house...yes you heard me, we are trying to sell our house in today's market and it is not going well.

You can understand why we are trying to get out of our house when you close your eyes and think of the following scenario: Mikah our 3 year old comes out of his room which he shares with his 2 year old sister Feliciti...he tells us that she is bothering him and that he wants to be by himself. Well in our 1200 square foot house, there are not many places that he can go to be alone. So he is just irritated...5 minutes later they start screaming at each other while they are playing with trucks and Madilyn is just down the very short hallway hopefully getting used to this loudness that is her life! My scenario isn't over but I am starting to get a headache! AGAIN!

So back to our stress...the house has been very close to a contract this past week and it fell through...this is one of the most devastating things we have encountered lately...WE MUST HAVE MORE ROOM!!! We have been praying our hearts out and seeking the Lord's will. He has never closed a door during this process so we are hopeful...if you are reading this right now, please have mercy on us and send up a prayer that we can get our house sold soon!

2 week Dr. Appointment

We took Madilyn yesterday to her 2 week appointment. We had a bet going that she was close to 9 pounds but..................she is 8 pounds and 5 ounces. The doctor was ok with the small weight gain because as long as she is over her birth weight, we are doing good. She has grown a lot though!! She is 21 and a half inches long- she's grown an inch and a half since birth!!! My tall girl!! =)

She is getting a little more fussy in the evening and after feedings sometimes. My new theory is that she gets overwhelmed and tired and we keep her up longer than she should...we expect too much from our 2 week old!! So we are going to be putting her down more...I'll update you on my theory.

Having our family of 5 has been amazing! We are actually staying at my parent's house this week to allow our house to be shown at all times. It's been sort of a vacation which has been a lot of fun!!!

Updated pictures....FINALLY!!

This is Madilyn hanging out in her bouncer (a favorite pastime of hers) and Mikah is trying to get her to play with Feliciti's cell phone. He doesn't quite get that she is too young to play with him. Its adorable!!!


Feliciti has just started asking to hold Madilyn a lot and she is getting her 'Mommy skills'. She tries to feed her, give her a paci, and she loves to hand her a blanket. She says, "Madilyn blanket". Its so sweet!

Having our new angel in our family has really been fun and amazing to see as a mom. Mikah and Feliciti have such a great capacity to love...and they are growing up so much!!!
