Still not in Austin Yet...

Well I am still not in Texas yet. But I am visiting California next week! I can't wait to go home and visit my family. After that then we will make the long drive to Texas. I am pretty excited, but nervous at the same time. I really want to meet people as soon as possible so I can have some girlfriends out there. Even though I have been bad about meeting with friends here in Arizona. Since Allura is getting older I feel more confident to go out.

In other news we have set Allura's baptism for the middle of September. It has been a real pain trying to figure out the schedule since it will be in Arizona. My family is out in California, and we will be in Texas at that time. And don't even get me started on trying to figure out the Godparent situation! Let's just say that the Catholic Church is very strict with it's rules. My sister and her Husband are the legal Godparents but we need to have my Mother in Law step in as her sponsor. (She was actually my sponsor when I was Baptized and confirmed before our wedding!) Oh well it is so worth it, and it will be great!!!!

I peed on my mommy at a KFC!

Yes that's right!! I was very thankful it was just the pee! That's why we always pack her a change of clothes but maybe I should pack some for me too!

Moving To Austin, Texas...

Well I am spending my last week in good old Queen Creek, AZ. I can't believe it! Packing up our house has been hard and a little sad! I can't wait to be all moved in at our new place in Austin.

Does anyone else live there?? I would love to meet you!! I will only know my in laws (We are moving a family business). I have to start all over in the friend department. I am thinking of joining a Mommy group when I am there. It would be great to meet a few people and get a BUNCO group going!!

Anyways let me know!!!

My email is:

diannekelleyb@hotmail.com

In other news Allura is doing great. She started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago. I feel very lucky!! Her height and weight are still at the top of the charts (she is so big!) Her hair is still the topic of conversation with strangers! They can't believe how long it is and how much of it there is!!!

I am still breastfeeding exclusively. It was hard at first but I really enjoy it now!

I love to watch her learn new things. It is hilarious how she studies her hands. My sister swears that she has gotten her to laugh. I am not sure about that but I think she is definitely close to doing it!!

Talk to you guys later!! And PLEASE email me if you live near Austin and want to get together!!

My Sister's Wedding

Debbie And her girls! The Happy Couple, can you see me in the background?

My brother, sister, and me!


My husband, and daughter (she was the flower girl!)
Debbie got married on May 1st!! It was beautiful and SO much fun! I was the Matron of Honor and our little one was the flower girl. It was so cute to watch my husband carry her down the aisle; he even had her "throw" flower petals. The whole weekend was great. I got to get my hair and nails done; and even got a spray tan!! I finally am starting to feel like my old self!!!
I am so happy for my sis and her new hubby! I can't wait to see all the pictures!!!!

Past Post-Partum Period

Well I am officially past the 6 week post-partum period. Although I started spotting again, so that kind of stinks!

Allura is doing great. She is eating like a champ and I have continued to only breast feed! She is on a pretty good schedule although I am still sleeping away from the hubby so he can sleep through the night (he gets up at 4:15 am). I need to work on that one!

This weekend we will be in California for my sister's wedding. We both get to get all dolled up! I can't wait for those pictures! Allura finally gets to me the extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, great grandmas, etc.)

But the biggest news in my life is that we are moving from Phoenix, AZ to Austin, Texas! We will be all moved out by mid June. I am scared and excited all at the same time; but mostly I am just busy!!!
