Happy Fathers Day!!

A very Happy Fathers Day to Jared!

I know he won't read this, but I'll still post a few pictures and say that I'm very thankful for him and the dad that he is to Noel so far :-) especially since he's really liking her now! lol

Terrible blogger

Yep that would be me! Ugh, I just always run out of time! But seriously, Noel is getting soooo much more fun and I'm just loving it! 

Can she be any cuter?! Eeeeee!!!! :-) She got her first ponytail yesterday and even laughed lots yesterday! Oh my goodness! 

This child could still really use a lesson in just closing her eyes for a nap! Ugh!! Frustrating! Like today she woke up at 7:45am and proceeded to stay awake for Grandma until 12:30pm. Wtf!? I felt so bad! Oh naughty girlsy!

Ok I gotta leave work! I'm still going to write Noel's birth story so be on the lookout for that! 

Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to work I go.....

While that title may seem happy, I'm not very excited. Well parts of me are excited and others not so much.

I am looking forward to going back and seeing all my work friends, and the surgeons that I enjoy working with. And I'm not gonna lie its going to be nice to be away from baby girl for a few hours.

Its going to be really hard to be away from baby girl, as I haven't really yet done that.  I also am not looking forward to the drive to GR, ugh! But I guess I choose to work in GR so i'll have to get over that one.

I still really need to get the rest of Noels announcements out because next week she is going to be 3 months old!? What the heck? Time goes fast, well yes and no, lol. 

Because somedays it seems like it won't ever be bed time for the little lady and/or monster as I've taken to calling her. 

I still need to write a blog about her birth story and just go on and on about how wonderful a home birth with a midwife and doula really is :) be prepared y'all!!

Thoughts on being a new mom

SO I'm sitting here while Noel is in the swing, going back and forth because she starts crying if she spits out her pacifier, sigh...

I thought I would write a little bit about how I'm feeling..

I do not like newborns, yep they are real cute but that's about as far I'll go.

I don't like not knowing what she needs/wants.

I don't like that they don't much at all.

This whole stage has been hard, although I knew that it was going to be before she was born. Don't get me wrong I love her to pieces but I have had numerous crying spells because she won't stop crying and I feel like a super crazy person. 

Well I better go get her because she's just starting to wake up in the car seat and if I wake her up she's usually much happier than if I wait til there's wailing from the car seat.

On another note, Noel is 7 weeks old today!! And I think she had given us some real smiles, so that is pretty fun ;-) 

Welcome Noel Marie!

Noel Marie Wendzel was born on Christmas Day at 7am!!

So I started this post quite a while ago and just now am updating it, phew! Right now the lovely lady is sleeping and I'm sitting with the computer dimmed way down in bed as she is sleeping and has been for awhile, I'm really hoping she stays asleep for awhile and for most of the night as she's been really sleeping this afternoon.

I still can't quite believe that I had a Christmas baby, but I seriously love it!!! And its also so crazy that the little peanut is going to be one month old on Thursday!! What?! How does time go by so fast?

The birth went so amazingly well, I am still so thrilled about it! We got to stay at home and it was so amazing!! I couldn't have asked for anything better! Emily was great, Ruth was amazing and my mom was spectacular!! Jared did awesome as well, and was sooo helpful! Jared even cried when she was born, how precious!  I will write more about the whole birth story soon but right now I am going to post some super adorable pictures of Miss Noel :-) Enjoy!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve

Its almost Christmas Eve!! I'm currently feeling annoyed that there are 2 shows recording and I don't like either one but don't really know enough about the TV and how to fix that. So the curse of oak island is on, which I think is just a dumb show and they will never find anything. oh well!

Christmas Eve is tomorrow!! I seriously love this time of year! :-) Still no sign of Rice Baby coming...Except that he\she is right up in my ribs at this current moment. I did have a few real contractions on Saturday! But now there has been nothing, which is slightly disappointing but yet good because I kind of just want to get through the 3 days of Christmas festivities.

 Tomorrow brings going to my moms and opening presents with her. I even bought cinnamon rolls for the morning, we shall see if I get around to making them!

We gave my goat friends a couple Christmas trees today which was fun to watch them chow down on! 

The nursery is coming right along! it looks so good!! Dawn, my mother in law, came over today and painted the room and its done! I am so thankful! And it looks sooo good! My dad is hopefully gonna come over this weekend or early next week and paint the animals on the wall! Progress! YES!!! Now to have a baby for the nursery! At least the baby won't use the nursery right away. I'm feeling pretty ready. I have over 30 cloth diapers and have been reading up on them. I think its gonna work out quite nicely! I have quite a few different kinds but all seem really great! I got a great deal on a pack and play the other night, so now I have two one for here and one for at work with my mom. 

Well thats all I can think of to write about, but 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
