Well this post is 2 months late. When people say your life gets more busy with 2 children, they are not lying. 

I would like to "officially" introduce my 2nd born..

London Joy Fudge

Born. February 6th 2014

11:16 am

20" long

7 lbs. 1 oz

Cant believe my little baby is already 10 weeks old. Crazy. Honestly she has been such a good, happy baby. 

I never wrote about her birth story so ill quickly go over it, I could make this story long but I'm going to make it short & sweet!

She was born on a Thursday morning. I got to the hospital at about 9am. My Doctor broke my water at about 10 am. My contractors went from stable and easy peasy to horrifying and the worst pain of my life.
(now getting another tattoo will be like a walk in the park) 

Within that next hour I went from 4cm to 10cm in about 40 mins. I was planning on getting all the drugs I could of course, I mean who wants to feel this pain?....not me! But everything happened so fast they hadn't even got my arm IV put in by the time I was about ready to push for goodness sakes. I told my nurse, "I NEED MY EPIDURAL NOW!" She called the anesthesiologist and they wheeled in the epidural cart. I waited and waited for what felt like an eternity, still in so much pain while they take their sweet time (or so it seemed)... the nurse checked me again about 2 mins later and told me it was to late for an epidural and they wheeled the machine back out of the room...saddest sight ever. All I could think was "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Then within 10 second I was pushing. 10 mins of pushing and London Joy fudge was Born. Thank God my Doctor made it just in time. 

For all of you out there who thought I gave birth with no drugs as a choice, no, I did not.  & I wouldn't recommend it ;)

Thankfully, I was up and walking around just a couple hours after London was born. So that was a plus. Thank you Jesus for a FAST birth (& recovery) even if it was thee worst pain I have ever felt and hope to never feel again ;) 

Big Sister Summer gets to come meet London. Love her expressions! 

17 weeks

Well baby girl #2 is going to be here before we know it! Cant believe I only have 11 weeks to go, crazy. February 16th is the actual Due date, but I am hoping to go a couple weeks early like I did with Summer *fingers crossed*.

Summer loves talking about her baby sister and about all the things she is going to help with. She even said

 "I can sleep on baby's floor so that she wont be scared of the alligators" 

so sweet considering Summer is very scared of alligators in the middle of the night for some reason ;)

I cant wait to see Summer take on the "big sister role" she is going to be the best big sister ever.

Summer also loves telling people her little sisters name. Which we are finally ready to announce,

Drum roll please... London Joy

Summer & London, they just sound so cute and perfect together. They will be the bestest friends. 

Here are some must haves for little miss London.

note: the necklace is my (hopefully) "Push Gift" I want the initials A, S, & L. 

(for all you ladies out there who didn't know about "push gifts" your welcome ;)!

 I didn't know about them either when I had Summer! 

It happened. My little girl has officially grown up enough to head off to pre-school. I am so happy and so sad all at the same time. It is so nice to get a break a couple days a week for about 2 hours, but its also sad that she is no longer "little"...

Cant believe how grown up she is. 

Summer how did you become such a little lady? I just love the stage you are in. We get to go out for "lunch dates" and have girl time, you are just so grown up, it is so much fun and so crazy how fast this season has come. You are so sweet and loving, honestly the kindest little girl mommy has ever met (not only saying this because I am your mom either) People tell me all the time how nice and sweet and well behaved you are & that makes my heart so happy. You truly care about other peoples feelings & you show love to everyone you come in contact with. I am so blessed to have such a sweet little girl like you.

These days you are very much into princesses! Ariel is your favorite but you definitely love all the other princesses to and know them all my their name and favorite song, hehe! It is so much fun to play princesses with you :)..I hope this stage lasts a LOOONG time.

We love you so much Summer, thanks for making our lives so much more fun and enjoyable! You are the best!! xo
