On January 5, 2014 Presley
was blessed by her father, Corey. It was such a special day and Corey gave
Presley the sweetest blessing. I felt the spirit so strong and feel so blessed
to have him in our lives. There is nothing more pure than a new baby. Presley
has such a sweet spirit and she has brought so much more love and joy into our
lives. She is the greatest blessing to us.
The first time I felt
Presley’s sweet spirit was back in September when Corey and I went to a temple
sealing of one of his mission friends. The Sealer talked a lot about eternal
families and our ability to be able to be with our families forever. That was
the first time I felt so close to Presley as if I already knew her. I was so
overcome with the spirit in the Temple and felt so much peace and love in my
heart. I know without a doubt that no matter what we go through as a family and
the trials we have to endure in this life, we will be able to be together
forever. I couldn’t imagine my life without the Gospel and I look forward to teaching
and raising our kids in the church.
Here are a few pictures of
Presley’s blessing J
Presley’s two-month check up
was on January 6, 2014. The two-month check up is the first time your baby gets
shots. L Such a sad day! Presley was smiling and giggling in
the Doctor’s office the entire time we were waiting for the Nurse. When the
Nurse came in and stuck her with the needle Presley’s face quicly turned from
happy and giggly to a confused look, and then straight to screaming and crying.
I had never seen Presley so upset. It made me so sad that I started crying. The
nurse kept saying to me, “Are you ok? Don’t cry” Every time she said that I
started to cry more! When I was walking out of the office the Nurse even turned
to me and said, “Maybe next time you should bring your husband with you. I was
so embarrassed but I couldn’t help it. Shots are not fun!
Presley now weighs 12 pounds
and 9 ounces. She is 23 inches long and is in the 88th percentile
for weight and the 76th percentile for height. The day she hit two
months old she no longer fit into any of her 0-3 month clothes. We are
officially on to 3-6 month clothes. She is one chunky baby!! We love it though J
