Happy Birthday Cove

Okay, so I am new at blogging and put the pictures on in the wrong order. It took me a long time to add them so please start from the bottom.

Luckily a couple hours later she was in love with him and wanted to help with everything. I love my growing little family.

Ivy was not happy to meet her brother. Right after the picture was taken she tried to push him off my lap. Then when I was feeding him a couple minutes later she starting crying and said, "Stop sucking her boob."

All dressed and ready to go home.

Look at that hair.

This is my favorite picture of the day. I love the way my parents look in this picture and how happy my mom and I are watching Dad hold Cove for the first time.

Natalie had to do my hair because for some reason I couldn't hold up my arms and Curtis tried really hard but just couldn't do it.

He looks just like his Daddy.

Grandma's first time holding him. I love this picture.

Look at my hansom boys.

This picture almost makes me cry. I can't even begin to describe the feelings. I love him so much.

I loved having my mom and sisters there with Curtis and I. Cori was out of town but everyone else was there. Natalie was my photographer so I thought. Turns out I had the paparazzi there. Mom and Sheena are taking a Photography class and showed up with their cameras. There were so many flashes going off while I was pushing. Even the Doctor said, "Wow, I didn't know we were having the paparazzi here today."

This picture cracks me up. Everyone was really cold while I was in labor. I made them turn the air down because I was so hot. Plus it cracks me up because it shows Curtis flirting with my mom. He is so cute with her. I love it.

This is Curtis and I before Delivery. Curtis was so good when I was in labor. He was so sweet and supportive. He is such a great husband and father.

PLEASE COME OUT

I am getting very anxious to have this baby. I really think he weighs about 8 lbs and I feel like he can get out now. I don't want to grow him any more. I am so big and uncomfortable. I keep telling him it's time and he won't listen. I have contractions and they just stop. Ouch. Please come out. Please come out.

Celiac Disease

These pictures were taken when Ivy was sick. Her stomach was huge but she only weighed 19lbs at 23 months. Now she is 25lbs and super healthy. I was going to do before and after pictures but I am way to lazy to upload our latest photos. She is sick there and look how cute she still is.

I really want to be a cool blogger like the rest of you, so I am trying again. It's just I keep forgetting to blog. Right after I started my blog I found out I was pregnant then the morning sickness set in and I just didn't feel like blogging. Then as soon as I was feeling a bit better we found out Ivy has Celiac Disease and I forgot I even had a blog most of the time. I don't know how Amy kept up on her blog the entire time she was going through chemo. It is amazing to me. So here is my 2nd attempt at my blog.

I guess you could say things have been pretty crazy at the Lee house the last few months. Like I said earlier Ivy was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Celiac disease is insane. We have her on a very strict diet. She can't have anything with wheat, rye, barley, and oats. You may be thinking. Well that's not that bad. Trust me, it is. People think wheat should go in everything like; season packets, butter, cooking spray, a lot of canned foods, even some ice cream and candy. She can't be in the same room where flour is being used and can't play with play dough. On Sunday we take tapioca bread in a special container and put it up front with the other bread to be blessed. We always sit in the back so they can find us easily. The nursery is so thoughtful. They have gone completely Gluten Free for Ivy. What a huge blessing that is. I was getting very stressed out at the thought of taking Ivy and the baby to Relief Society. I have found a few easy things to buy for easy lunches for Ivy but mostly I cook everything from scratch. The one thing I won't give up is pizza night. So Curtis and I will get a pizza for us and I will make Ivy her own little Gluten Free pizza which she loves. Even though it is a pain and we continue to mess up from time to time and make Ivy sick, I feel it is such a blessing we caught it when we did. Celiac can cause a lot of other diseases in the long run if it goes untreated. I have heard so many stories of people that found out to late. I am also glad we found out early in my pregnancy. I don't know how well these new hormones could have dealt with the news. I am very ready to not be pregnant any more. I am really tired, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I am ready to move on from the last couple months and concentrate on my growing little family. Any time now. I am dilated to a 3. If I don't go into labor before, I will be induced march 22nd. I can't wait!!!!!
