WELCOME
We'll be using this weblog to keep our family and friends updated on our lifes, most of all on Cheyenne's changes as she grows!
Where is the world has the time gone? Our baby girl on sat will be two months! If two months goes by this fast, I can't imagine how quickly her first birthday will be here. It's so sad, but it's so fun! I look at her everyday and think...."What else will she see for the first time today?" She has so much to do in her life and I'm so excited for her and to be there with her! I cannot wait to share everything with her.
Her first 2 months of life was the best of my life and I am sure I can say that for John. The first few weeks home were tough, but worth every second of it! Now that we've sorta got our schedule down things are a little easier. We do 'tummy-time" to strengthen her neck muscle which she can hold her head on her own now but sometimes with alittle bit of help. She is making little noises and they are the sweetest in the world! She is getting better at focusing on things and following things with her eyes. SHE LOVES TV... Tonight john said she just sat there watchin the tv with him didnt ever take her eyes off of it. I say all these things as a proud mama, but am sad that she is "growing up." I think everyday about how I will wish for these days back in years to come.
We go second week of Augest to get Cheyenne's first set of shots. That will be a hard visit for me and Cheyenne! Her doctor is very nice. John and I are pleased. He has answered all my questions and gives us some great info! So.....How is life as mommy? We'll it's the best thing EVER! I can't quiet express the feelings and emotions I have towards my baby girl! i know my mom use to tell me all the time 'one day you will understand." I think of that nearly EVERY time I look at Cheyenne. It's so amazing how this little human was once in my tummy moving all around and now I can't believe she is actually here! It's the neatest feeling! I just think she is the most amazing thing in the world, and John & I are so blessed. My life is forever changed- for the better, and I know I can say that for John as well. It has been a huge adjustment but worth every second. We learn something new everyday and its been fun. I cant help but smile at Cheyenne everytime I look at her. Even through her tears, I find myself smiling at her because she is literally my angel sent from Heaven. I know my mom is loving wathcing her grandbaby from above. I have had my moments dealing with the "I wish my mom was here," but i know in my heart that Cheyenne is here because of God. awww!!!!
Cheyenne is such a daddys girl. She is totally wrapped around her daddy's finger. It is the best feeling in the world to see John with Cheyenne. He loves her more than life itself- you can just see it! He's been the biggest help with her and everything else.
A special thanks to John's and my AMAZING family and friends for helping us get adjusted to parenthood. Thanks to all our visitors and for all the well wishes! we have and are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. I just really wanted to let everyone know that because I really havent had the time to say it. THANKS AGAIN!
PS...
About two weeks ago she had her first photoshoot. The pics are fablous (of course). Cant wait to post them.
Hunter our dog... loves cheyenne, Anywhere John and I go with Cheyenne he is right there. Either following us, laying with her, giving her kisses, he is right by her 24/7
I took these pics 2 weeks ago... Im just getting the hang of posting pictures so dont worry there are alot more to come...
Out of all the things we received to prepare for the baby my top two things we could not live without are the Boppy pillow & the baby swing. Both idems we have used since we brought he
r home and every day since. yay...shes starting to hold her head up, she is such a strong little girl. She'll just sit there looking around soaking in the world. She really is figuring out her tounge now, keeps playing with it stickin it in and out its so cute. She is also for sure quite the smiley baby these days. It doesnt take much to get a wide open mouth grin out of her, for some reason i think she is trying to figure out how to laugh. Right now when you tickle her, her laugh comes out in a little grunting sound but also a little giggle. 
We had our sweet baby girl! I wanted to post sooner, but we had a whirl wind of events after she was born. Cheyenne Elizabeth was born June 1st weighed 8 pounds, born at 7:40am, and was 21 inches long. Baby Cheyenne is already seven weeks old. On one had, we can't believe it's been more than seven weeks since her arrival. Time goes fast! On the other hand, we can't imagine life without her. We are completely shocked. It's amazing how you can fall completely head-over-heels for a tiny, bald, toothless thing. We can't wait for her to get bigger and watch her grow. For her to sit at the table with us for dinner. For her to crawl, and walk and talk. But at the same time, we want to slow time down so that we can cherish every little baby moment. The sweet way she looks when she sleeps. The way she does her "stretchy-stretchy" face when she's just waking up. The cute baby smiles when she sees us walk in the room. Cheyenne's arms and legs are so small. It's so amazing to see such a small version of a person. John and I had wondered for 9 months what this little girl was going to look like when she came. If she would look more like John or more like me. It is hard to imagine something that is different than what we had already seen in eachother as now and our child photos. However John and I dont want to spend to much time comparing who she looks like the most cause its not as important anymore. Through the whole pregnancy and especially at the end, I have seen the grace of god in my life. I want to express my gratitude for my mother, mother-inlaw, and god. They all had great care for me in all different ways. At the moment of birth I was caught in an emotion that I can not express. In those moments I felt for our daughter as I could only imagine what my mother had felt for me. Words are insufficient for how grateful I am to her and everything she did and was. The windows that we have into the love that our mothers and god has for us are precious and I will always remember this one for my whole life.
