Officially A Family!

For those of you who know me well, my life has changed so much in the past 2 years. I met the love of my life, got married, and had a beautiful baby girl!  This post will hopefully catch everyone up and I have made a promise to myself ( and Jen Gimmel) that I will continue to post more often.

Again, the wedding was absolutely wonderful!  TJ and I couldn’t have asked for more! We went on our honeymoon to St. Lucia for a week. I, unfortunately, was quite sick and spent a lot of time inside our hotel room. :-( We made it back home and enjoyed the last few weeks of summer. I began the school year at Gale-Bailey Elementary School and so far, so good!

The months passed by (it seemed like forever to me!) and finally the day came! Kenley Ann Long was born on January 13, 2011 at 5:43pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 2.9 oz. Below are some pics taken in the hospital and from her first week home. Unfortunately, I don’t have as many pics on my camera compared to the rest of my family, but here goes….

She really is the sweetest baby!  She rarely fusses and when she does, it’s usually because she’s hungry or needs a diaper change. Once one of the two are taken care of, she settles down and most of the time goes back to sleep.

Kenley is now 1 month old and time is flying by! It’s funny to think about how we impatiently waited 40 weeks to meet this baby girl and all I wanted was to make the time go faster. Now, I want to hold onto it as long as I can! Although it’s only been a month since she arrived, it’s hard to remember what life was like without her.
