Blessing
I can't believe its come and gone but we are lucky that both sets of grandparents live so close by and got to come for her blessing. She had all her jewelry on, her locket from Great Grandma Rosell, her ring from Grandma Wise, her blanket from Granny, her other ring is Johnny's baby ring from Grandma Rosell. She wore the blessing dress that Granny made out of scraps from my mother's wedding dress that was made for Kim and me, worn by most of the girl grandbabies in my family.
It was a beautiful day full of lots of emotions, especially gratitude.

Photo time
wow, the weeks are flying by. I'm trying to take every opportunity to take pictures of this girl. we take a little time every so often to get some photos. i don't have very many photos of her with me so we decided to take some ourselves. not the best, but as long as she is in it, i don't mind my scary roots and bad photo job.
I really am enjoying my time with her and we usually try to accomplish one thing a day. sometimes that means just getting dressed. :)
okay, i love this picture of her because she looks so chubby and she looks like she has a little missionary haircut going on. I love my chubbs!

3 weeks
I can't believe she is already 3 weeks. have to thank jayme for the adorable "carly" onesies, so fun and so girly. i love them.
i'm still reigning champ for getting peed and pooped on, of course johnny is gone during the day so that doubles my chances. bentley is smitten with her as well and very protective especially when she cries. of course, bentley has learned a few things since she has come home, she now sleeps in between me and johnny so she doesn't get kicked when one of us gets up to get the baby. she also hides under the covers when there is midnight crying. she also doesn't jump off the bed every time we get up, realizing that we are not officially getting up and she doesn't need to run downstairs to go to the bathroom. she leaps at the chance to take a nap with mom upstairs away from the sliding glass door that promises squirrels and lizards.
has she forgotten the lizards, of course not. she thought she saw one in the nursery (it was a nail/hook). she will never forget the lizards.

1 week old
1 week old.
Most used word: Tired
How many times have I been peed on: 3
poohed on: twice
but we are still smitten.
Bentley is very protective of the baby. Whenever she cries, she runs to her to see if she is okay.
She is also very very tired. she is up whenever one of us is up with her.
such a sweet dog.

Baby Girl Rosell
Baby Girl Carly arrived on Thursday, January 21st. She was 7 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inches long.
We had our last appt on Tuesday and the week before I had gained 8 lbs and i was swollen from the waist down. I was dilated to a 3 and Dr said if I wasn't in labor by Thursday I could come in and he would induce. So, with that I had two days to clean, wash, and get packed.
About an hour after our appt, Joni, my mom, and me went to LA to see the Bonnie Hunt Show. It was pouring, not just raining, but pouring. Joni had oral surgery the day before, Mom doesn't go out in rain, and then I, the 9 month pregnant lady, drove us through the "craziest" storm LA has seen (we even had tornado warnings) to see Bonnie Hunt. None of us should have left the house but it was my last adventure before the baby.
About the time we got in for the taping, contractions were coming pretty steadily. I was relieved when we made it into my car and they started to slow down a bit. I started to have them about twice an hour from then on out.
Labor:
2am - contractions woke me up
5am - 5 minutes apart, panic mode - to the hospital
7am - IV inserted for my antibiotics
8am - contractions dead stop
9am - Pitocin, Nurse Judy - stories about dogs, neighbors, grandkids and johnny texting on two iphones while killing me on scrabble iphone
10am-contracts are back and are mean. tried to read Johnny's trashy mag he got me - called get skinny fast! - he really apologized about the cover, but we had a good laugh about it. Water broke all over the bed and johnny had to grab towels to help the nurse escape the floods. trippy feeling.
11am - epidural, anthesiologist was a crack up, telling me kelsey should steal the hospital gowns with the boob holes and make a pattern for those. so funny. Sleepy time and playing scrabble with Kelsey via iphone, she's killing me..
12:00 - There is a huge brick in my pelvis and my stomach has completely shifted two inches down. doing pelvic exercises to get the baby to turn her head.
1:00 - I'm an 8, Extreme pelvic pressure, Nurse had me push to see if the baby would come, she did. Bed disappears, Dr and Baby nurse called and Johnny and the Nurse coach me to push at 1:38. 1:45 Dr arrives, head is halfway out and the very cute Baby Nurse who Johnny loved told me one more 110% push and she's out....JUST ONE MORE.
20 mins later - and what it felt like a million LAST pushes later, she arrives at 2:12.
No Name baby is no longer, both Johnny and I knew Carly was her name when we saw her.
Recovery: all I can say is thank goodness I'm on maternity leave and have family around. Its exhausting but we are completely smitten with our new baby girl. She is the sweetest gift we could have ever received.
