The first three months....

I can hardly believe it's been 3 1/2 months since I gave birth to this little nugget! Time flies...well sometimes it flies, and other times it can't go by fast enough. These past three months have been a whirlwind to say the least. The first three weeks we had our little guy home, we were just soaking it all in and trying to figure out what parenthood was all about, enjoying every second....and then BOOM. The colic hit. I would not wish a colicky baby on my worst enemy. It is the saddest, most frustrating thing in the entire world. It makes you want to pull your hair out. EVERY DAY. And my baby did NOT just have a mild case....it's bad. And it wasnt just in the evening, it was SCREAMING....ALL. DAY. LONG. People tell you to try a million different colic-curing things, (all of which they SWORE by and worked magic for their babies...I of course tried ALL OF THEM and nothing worked.) Other people tell you that none of those things worked and that by three months your baby will just grow out of it....which of course you think will never happen, but in our case it has finally started getting better THANK GOODNESS. People who say that parenthood is all fun and games, bells and whistles, are either freaking crazy or full of crap. BUT, I will say this....although the last three months have had some of the most miserable days I have ever experienced, the good days make all the crappy ones SOOO worth it.  I couldn't even imagine going back to life without our sweet (and sassy) little Madsen. He is the love of our lives. He has grown out of the really bad colic phase, but still has his colicky moments. Colicky times set aside, he has started talking (cooing) like crazy, has the biggest smile in the entire world (gets that big mouth from his daddy :) ) and is constantly playing with his tongue (which is weirdly long like his mammas.) He loves licking zippers on any of his hoodies or jackets, it's hilarious. He has really started paying attention to toys, trys to grab things, and of course puts them straight in his mouth! He can pretty much put his entire fist in his mouth. He loves watching TV (all those gay cartoons I swore I would never turn on...and of course ESPN with dad), and playing underneath his little play gym. He mastered the art of rolling over a couple weeks ago and now he WILL NOT STOP. I try to change his diaper, he's trying to roll over, I try to get him dressed, he tries to roll over, I put him to sleep on his back, I find him flipped to his tummy....he's a mad man with the rolls! This boy loves being on his tummy (he actually sleeps better this way so I don't mind so much)  Stat-wise, he is growing like a weed! Last check up, he was 100%tile for height and 79%tile for weight! He is a big boy and we love it. He has also started laughing these last few weeks and it is seriously the cutest thing ever! He has the cutest little giggle....only problem is it gives him the hiccups every freakin time- so annoying! But he really is the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life. He has finally started being happy enough that we can truly enjoy him. He melts my heart every day! We started giving him rice cereal a little before 3 months and at that point he started sleeping 9 hours straight at night so that has been SO nice! I hope he just keeps sleeping longer and longer! We are so excited to have our fist Christmas as a little family! It's fun to shop for your baby, even though they really dont need a dang thing. Madsen's biggest present from mommy and daddy is going to be his $2,300 HELMET. Yep that's right, of course my kid needs a helmet lol. It's ok though, no worries we have come to terms with it haha. Mads has tortacollis (he didn't have enough room in my belly which caused one side of his neck muscles to be shorter which caused him to only turn his head one way which caused that side of his head to get really flat) hence the need for a helmet! He has also been going to physical therapy to get the one side of his neck stronger and his is doing awesome. I'm making my kid sound handicapped....he really is normal, just has a funky shaped noggin that we figured we better get rounded out in case he ends up bald like his daddy! Anyway, sorry this post was so long, it's been a crazy 3 months and I had lots to share...I am going to start trying to be better at updating this so the posts will be shorter. In a nutshell....parenthood is crazy and hard, but the best thing in the entire world. We are so blessed to have our sweet little Mads, we love him more than anything!

Welcome to the world sweet boy!

Well here it is, the birth story in all it's glory!! I will try to make it short and sweet, but let's be real this might be a really long post! So here goes....I woke up at 7:00 a.m. on September 6th, this was supposed to be the day that I was going to welcome my little boy to the world. It was the date I had set for my induction (of course after going over my due date by three days....even though two different doctors swore they didn't think I'd even make it to my due date before going into labor myself, pshhh) The evening before I got a call from Labor and Delivery and the nurse told me that they should get me in by 9:00 a.m. the next morning, and that they would call me between 6 and 7 in the morning to tell me exactly what time to come in, but if I hadn't heard from them by 7:00 a.m. to call them. So my alarm went off at 7, and I hadn't heard from them. So I called L&D and of course they had a bunch of women go into labor that night and they were swamped, and since I was an elective induction they were going to have to push me back, but told me they thought they would be able to get me in by 11:00 a.m.....BUT if I hadn't heard from them by then, then I should call again. So, just my luck, 11:00 rolls around and no call from them, so I call back. Two emergency c-sections came in and they were too busy....sooo....you guessed it.....I should call back at 1:00 pm if I hadn't heard from them by then. 1:00 rolls around, no call. So I call back....they are still too busy and don't even have ONE bed open. At this point I lost it and just started bawling and decided I was never having this baby. The nurse told me that two women had just delivered and maybe if I call back at 3:00 they can squeeze me in, but it might not happen today. So after bawling in my bed for two hours I called back and they FINALLY told me I could come in. I guess if you are annoying enough they finally get sick of you and admit you! So me and Jord headed over to the hospital, got admitted, they started my I.V., hooked up the pit, and then the waiting game began! I was dilated to a 3 when I got there. The first hour was pretty boring, then I started feeling some mild contractions which weren't comfortable but didn't hurt that bad. Then the doc came in and checked me ( I was now at a 4) stripped my membranes REALLY HARD, and broke my water....oh my it hurt soooooo bad but I just bit my lip and didn't say a word! After doing that, he asked me how my epidural was doing, I told him that I hadn't got my epidural yet. He said "Oh dang, you are a tough girl then! What I just did probably wasn't very comfortable!" Yeah, it killed. Thanks doc. Immediately after the doc broke my water the contractions started KILLING. I will be the first to admit I do NOT have a high pain tolerance, but OH MY GOSH. I thought I was gonna die. But I was trying to hold off on the epidural because the doctor told me that I should try a couple doses of Fentanyl to get me through the pain before I get the epidural. So following the doc's orders, I asked for a dose of Fentanyl. The first 15 min after I got it, I felt high as a kite and was loving life, then it wore off and I had 45 min of HORRIBLE contraction pain. They say to breathe through your contractions....I could not even BREATHE period, it hurt so bad. And my breathing was mostly just cries because I thought I was gonna die lol. Then it was time to get another dose of Fentanyl, but by the time the nurse brought it in, I knew it would not be enough for the pain, so I asked for my epidural. Best decision EVER....next time I will not let them break my water before getting the epidural first! How women have babies naturally I do NOT know. They are either way stronger than me or just plain stupid!! JK, I have a lot of respect for women that can do it without the epidural....but I am NOT one of them and will NEVER try it. After the epidural it was pretty much smooth sailing until I got to an 8. I knew something was wrong because the nurse was kind of whispering and showing the nursing student some things on the monitor and they got out the oxygen mask and cranked it up to a 10 and told me I needed to wear it. Even though I'm not an L&D nurse and don't pretend to remember much about that section of nursing school, I'm not an idiot, I know how to read the monitors. My little guys heart rate was dropping really bad. Late decels, bad news. Next thing I know they are putting all kinds of internal monitors up me, the charge nurse comes into the room, then the doctor, and they are talking about taking me back to the OR to get ready for a c-section. The doc explained to me that my little guy probably had the cord around his neck and was causing his HR to drop, but they would try turning me over and repositioning me to see if his heart rate would come back up. Then if it did, he would give me 20 minutes to get from an 8 to a 10, but if I didn't progress that quick we were going back for a c-section. Luckily by the time they turned me over and got be repositioned, I had gone from a 8 to a 10 in like ten minutes! At this point the doc said I should be fine to deliver vaginally and that he just might have to pull him out with forceps if his HR started dropping again. Luckily his heart rate was good and forceps didn't need to be used (but after almost two hours of pushing I was thinking it wouldn't have been such a bad idea to just pull him out with forceps!) So after about an hour and forty five min of hard pushing, and a second degree episiotomy, and the doc unwrapping the cord from around his neck, I heard my sweet little cone headed baby's first scream! No, not a sweet little cry, SCREAMING! The nurses and doctors were laughing and telling me that he has one of the healthiest pair of lungs they had ever heard!  Madsen J. Van Ausdal was born at 1:39 a.m. weighing eight pounds thirteen ounces, and was 20 1/2 inches long. It was so surreal to see him for the first time, he looked just like his daddy. When they handed him to me I could not believe he was mine. It's the craziest feeling in the world. I have never been so happy in my life. I remember thinking from the very first time I saw him how beautiful he was and how much I loved those little lips! It was adorable to watch my sweet husband through the whole process, and to watch him hold our son for the first time and see him stare at our baby with so much love. Its crazy how watching your husband with your baby just makes you fall in love with him all over again! We are so happy with our little family, and can't wait to start the next chapter in our lives!

 

 

Plenty more pics to come!!

Showered with LOVE!

I. AM. LOVED. To say the least. And my little man has been spoiled. To say the least. Sooooo when people started talking about throwing baby showers, I started out just having two showers planned. My mom's amazing friends were going to throw me a big shower for all my family and friends, and Jord's family was going to throw me a family shower for their side of the fam. Well two showers ended up turning into FIVE showers. Like I said, we are loved :) My mom's friends threw me a huge shower for a lot of my friends and family, Jordan's Van Ausdal side threw me a shower, all of my awesome co-workers threw one, my ward had one, and Jordan's Nelson side of the family threw one! Oh my, were we spoiled! Everyone that helped throw the showers went totally over the top! Everyone was so nice! The majority of the showers were baseball themed...hmmm I think they know us pretty good lol. A huge thanks from me, Jord, and Baby Madsen to everyone that helped put on the showers, and for everyone that came and supported! I have the best family and friends that a girl could ask for!

Here are just a few pics from a few of my showers, I wish I would have taken more pics!

-The Babymoon-

Well it's about time I get this dang thing updated....life has been crazy to say the least! Before I get to what you would all probably rather hear about (the birth and the babe) I have a couple other things to post about. The first being the BABYMOON! Me and Jord decided that we wanted to take one last getaway before this baby came, so we went to Cali, and I am SO glad we went. We love our little hunk more than words can say, but I'm so glad we enjoyed one last vacation with just the two of us! It was nice to just get away from life and work and enjoy some time together before the two of us turned into the three of us! We stayed two nights on Newport Beach, and two nights in Carlsbad! The night we got to Cali we went to a Dodgers baseball game....that was an adventure to say the least....Long story short it was HORRIBLE traffic getting into LA to the game, so I was already ornery, and then as we were driving up the hill into Dodgers stadium our freakin rental care broke down....it was such a disaster...and at almost 8 months pregnant I was not a happy camper! I called hertz and gave them a piece of my mind, pulled the pregnant card, and ended up getting our entire car rental free (and they brought us a new car to the stadium)! Despite the car disaster we still enjoyed the game! Our other days there were spent enjoying the amazing  weather on Newport, Laguna, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and La Jolla's beautiful beaches! We did lots of good shopping at some great malls and outlets, treated ourselves to Cheesecake Factory and BJ's more than once, and just hung out! We rode around Carlsbad on our beach cruisers, went body surfing (Jordan wouldn't let me boogie board or surf, pshhh) and did lots of laying out and soaking up the rays, (it was so nice to dig a hole in the sand for my big belly, I hadn't laid on my belly in forever!) We basically just spent time hanging out together doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, in a Beautiful place, with beautiful weather,  and it was a BLAST!

33 weeks and growing!

How far along?  33 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 20 pounds exactly when I got on the scale this morning....I have been DREADING the moment I hit that number! Oh well, what do you do?
Maternity clothes? Getting sick of all the maternity stuff I have. I quit buying maternity stuff and started buying longer shirts from normal stores. Maxi dresses are super comfy!Stretch marks? Two small little white ones on my right side (where he hangs out all the time) I freaked out when I found them a week or two ago. Praying I don't get anymore but I'm afraid for myself!!
Sleep: Whoever said that you are the most tired in your first trimester was smokin pot! I am SOOOOO tired all the time still, all I want is to sleep! The only problem.....I have started waking up at night because I can't get comfortable...and rolling over in bed is hard work these days lol.
Best moment this week: Baby shower!!! It was so much fun and I got a ton of cute stuff. So many friends and family came to support, I love you all! :)
Miss Anything? FEELING NORMAL! I feel like I'm always whining to Jordan about feeling crappy, I just can't wait to have my body back and not feeling like something is hurting or aching or cramping all the time!
Movement: I swear the amount that this little boy moves is NOT normal, but I have nothing to compare it to, so who knows? He is literally jabbing me all the time! His little feet kick up in my right ribs all the time and it HURTS! Hahaha, you might think i'm exaggerating a little but it seriously does NOT feel good. Sometimes I poke him back but then he just kicks harder. Jordan keeps telling him that he needs to be nice to his mommy!
Food cravings: I still don't think I have any REAL cravings. I eat a lot of muffins and Eggo's. Breakfast food is something that always sounds pretty good. These days I get full really easy so I can't eat very much in one sitting. Shaved ice always sounds good, but I think it's just because it's summer and really hot!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  If I go too long without eating I start to feel nauseous, and Chinese still makes me want to gag, but other than that I'm doing pretty good in that department!
Labor Signs: I don't think so! Every once in a while I get what feels like period cramps....but I haven't even had any braxton hicks or anything like that yet. (Unless that's what those period cramps are and I just done know)
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but getting shallower by the day  :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time! I get really moody when my back is killing me, or my ribs are really achy, or I'm crampy.

Looking forward to:Seeing what this little guy is going to look like! The room is almost done, I can't wait for the finishing touches though! I will post about it when it's all done!

26 weeks and counting....

Well it's been a long time since I have posted much about my pregnancy, so here goes! I started feeling a little bit better while I was in Hawaii, but the nausea didn't completely go away until I was about 18 weeks along. 18 weeks was a big one for me, that's also when I started feeling my little guy move around. It began as flutters, but now he's got some full-blown kicks going on! He is a super active little thing. I like to make everyone feel my belly when he's moving, I don't know why I just think it's really funny when he kicks and then they freak out. I am getting more and more excited about having a baby, but I am nervous about being a mom! Baby's room is coming along, it's going to be SOOOO cute, I will post some pics of it in the next little while when we get a few more things done. We are doing a Baseball/ Red Sox room. I feel like I am getting really big, but I'm not really too uncomfortable yet. Things like bending over and exercising are getting a little harder though! Well....I saw this little questionnaire on my friends blog so I stole it (thanks Cando) Here's a little more about my pregnancy at this point:

How far along?  26 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 12pounds.......EWWW!!
Maternity clothes? Motherhood actually has some cute stuff contrary to popular belief...also Old Navy and Gap have some cute stuff.
Stretch marks? Nothing yet....Cross your fingers and pray for the skin gods to bless me!
Sleep: OHH MY! I'm still so tired! I swear if i don't get ten hours a day I am dysfunctional!
Best moment this week: Got the crib up and the room is looking so cute! And my little dude is moving around like crazy, that's always fun!
Miss Anything? My body!!! Let's hope it goes back to normal after the babe! Also, wakeboarding and all the fun summer activities that I can't really do while pregnant!
Movement: He is going CRAZY!!!  It is a super weird feeling, but so cool! I love it!
Food cravings: I'm eating a lot better now, but after being sick for so long it's kind of hard to like food! I still have a lot of food aversions. Not really any cravings. I can't get enough shaved ice and mexican food, but it was that way before I was pregnant so who knows if it's really a craving.....?
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Chinese. Or too much grease, Some gross while working at the hospital that I wont mention :)
Labor Signs: nope.
Belly Button in or out? Still very IN, but the deep dark hole is getting shallower :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy when I feel good, ornery when I'm uncomfortable or sick!

Looking forward to: Finishing babys room, baby showers, and seeing what this little nugget looks like!

 

Here are a couple belly pics....The one of me in the turquoise shirt was actually taken a few weeks ago when we got some family pictures done, and our cute photographer wanted to take a couple maternity pics of me, but I wasn't showing much at that point so she just told me to puff my stomach out as much as I can...Well it worked, I look HUGE in that pic. The other pic is one I took today at 26 1/2 weeks, and is what my belly really looks like :)

Farewell little brother!! You will be missed!

My little brother just left to go serve his mission in Spain. He will be missed a LOT, but I know that he will be the best missionary ever! The people in Spain are so lucky to have you serving over there! WE LOVE YOU ELDER ANDERSON, GOOD LUCK! 

 

Hawaii: Take 3!

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know I'm horrible at updating my blog. Last time I posted I was in Hawaii, and I haven't posted since. So I figured I will start trying to update this, and I will start by posting about all the fun we had while we were in Hawaii in March! We worked hard on the beach house for the first four days, laying tile, doing some drywall and stucco patches, refinishing a wood door, etc., and then the last 5 days we played!! Sooooo this trip was a little bit different for me- I was 16 weeks pregnant and not quite over the morning sickness yet, plus I felt like I was being babysat by my husband and friends (all out of love, I know I know.)  "Kate you can't do that! You are pregnant!" was something being said about a million times a day! They tried to talk me out of boogy boarding, jumping off the rock at Waimea, and horseback riding on the beach. The only one they were successful at keeping me off of was the rock at Waimea, although after getting bucked off my crazy horse on the beach, I think I will think twice about doing that again next time I'm pregnant! Here are some highlights of the trip:

- Soaking up rays on all the pretty beaches
-Seeing more big sea turtles than I have EVER seen in Hawaii. Turtle beach and Hukilau beach were covered with them!
-Riding horses on the beach (before I got thrown off)
-Shopping in Honolulu and seeing the St. Patty's day parade
-Watching the boys get PUMMELED in the waves at Waimea Bay
-Eating at Kua'aina burger, Ted's bakery, Kahuku Grill, and Haleiwa Joe's
-BEACH, BEACH, and more BEACH!

Here are some pics of the trip, just keep in mind I'm 16 weeks pregnant and looking chubby in them!

 Hukilau Beach, off our back deck-beautiful!

 I took this pic on my phone, the water at sunset beach was SOOO blue that day!

Baby updates! And a little confusion....

Wowwwwzers! This has been quite the ride for me so far! All this pregnancy talk, hormones, sickness, and just my feelings in general are about the weirdest thing I have ever experienced! But I won't get into all of that, here is a little update on The Nugget! (My little brother started calling it "The Nugget" right after we told him I was pregnant and apparently it stuck because since then that is what my whole family has been calling this babe!) At 12 weeks we went in and were able to hear the heartbeat! Before going in to hear it I had talked to a few friends and family about it and everyone said "oh it's the best sound ever!" or "I totally cried the first time I heard the heartbeat, it was amazing!" Want to know what I said when the Dr. found that quick little beat and said, "well-that's your little baby ticking inside of you! 160 beats per minute, perfectly normal" my response, "WHOA...WEEEEEEEEIRRRRRRRRDDDDD! It's alive! That is so WEIRD! My body is growing another little body inside of it....weird!" Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved hearing my sweet little baby's heartbeat, and it is an amazing thing, but if you think about it, it's sort of a weird thought! But it definitely made things a little more real. I say a little, because it honestly didn't really hit me that there was really something in there until I actually SAW it on the first ultrasound that I had (that's a story in itself lol.) We (Me, Jord, and my mother in law) went in last Monday when I was exactly 14 weeks, because I have heard from a lot of people that you can go in for an early ultrasound at that time, and a lot of times they can tell the sex of the baby. So we go into the physicians plaza over at the hospital and got my first real look at my baby- which by the way is adorable and doesn't look like an alien anymore, just like a tiny real little baby- anyway, after trying to get this little Nug to open it's legs for about 20 min, the ultrasound tech finally got a quick glimpse and told me she was 85% sure it was a girl. A huge smile goes across Jordan's face (despite the fact that he told me 5 minutes before the ultrasound that I had almost talked him into wanting a boy.) And although I was excited to see my babe for the first time, and although I had a feeling it was going to be a girl, I couldn't help but be a little bit disappointed because I was really hoping for a boy! So as we are walking out to the car Jord says "I feel bad.... I can tell that you are disappointed!" And I was trying to say, No- I'm not disappointed, a girl will be fun too....But what came out of my mouth was, "Yeah, cuz I wanted a BOY!!!!" Oops. But over the next two days I converted my mind and became ok with the thought that I was having a girl. Then, long story short.....my brother got me into the actual ultrasound department at the hospital for another early ultrasound (not the physicians plaza, the actual hospital) three days after I had the first ultrasound. Guess what the US tech said to me? "Well, what does that look like to you?" Me: "A weenie!" Him, "Yep, I think you are having a little boy!" My eyes welled up with tears- and NO, I'm not usually emotional....so that means I must have been really excited! Me: "Wait....how sure are you??" Him "Well since you are only 14 weeks, I'm not allowed to say 100%, but I will say 94%, hows that?" SOOOOOOOOOOO the moral of the story is this: I have no idea if this little nugget is a boy or a girl, but now I'm leaning (and hoping) towards BOY. BUT....I was also convinced for two days that I was having a girl, so that would be fine too. Let's just hope it's one or the other lol! When I get home from Hawaii (yes I am in paradise for the next ten days, AHHHHH) I will be 16 1/2 weeks, and by then I should for sure be able to find out what I'm having, so until then the beach will have to be my distraction!

........PREGNANT............

Sooooo........I'm pregnant!! After hearing Jordan beg for three years, I finally gave in! (OK lets be honest- i gave in to his begging about a year ago and it took us a minute to get pregnant) In hind-site though, I'm glad! I wouldn't have wanted a baby any sooner and the timing is perfect for this one! Our little babe is due on Sept. 4th! I am 12 weeks and we are going in to hear the heartbeat today- WAHOO! Maybe it will make this all a little more real for me! Jordan is beyond excited...he seriously freaked out when I showed him the pregnancy test! I freaked out too...but it was more like UH-OH....no going back this time.....am I ready for this???.....THAT kind of freak out! But now it has all sunk in a little more and I think it's definitely time for us to start a family...wow that seriously sounds so weird to me to say that!! Even now, every time that I tell someone that I'm pregnant, I almost start laughing because it's just sounds funny. Me? Pregnant? I feel like I'm still just a baby, how can I be having one? Jordan get's mad at me every once in a while and asks, "Why aren't you more excited??" I try explaining to him- I AM super excited, it's just really hard to have a grin on my face 24/7 when half of the time it's buried in the toilet puking! (On the bright side, Jord has kept the toilets the cleanest they have been since we moved into the house :) ) The whole "morning sickness" thing- which is actually ALL DAY SICKNESS for me and gets the worst at night, has thrown me for a loop! I normally LOVE food about as much as I love my husband, but these days I am literally having to force-feed myself. Food is my BEST friend AND my WORST enemy right now. When you are running to the toilet about ready to lose everything you have, it is not a normal reaction to be asking for food, because food is the LAST thing you want to put in your mouth when you feel like you are going to puke! BUT....eating and having something in my stomach all the time is the only things that makes the nausea bearable. It is honestly the weirdest thing I have ever experienced, because my normal un-pregnant body NEVER gets sick! On the up-side- I haven't gained a pound! In fact, I have lost a few! BUT I think part of that might be from my lack of going to the gym every day, and losing some muscle tone, along with not eating much. Because even though I haven't GAINED any weight, I feel like I look fatter! My legs have lost a lot of tone and I HATE them right now lol. Also, I am getting a TINY little bump-not really noticeable in clothes yet, but it is coming! I feel like I might be in the "cant tell if she's just fat- or pregnant" stage for a while. DESPITE all of these weird things going on with my body (sorry for all the whining just then) I am stoked for this little baby to come! It will be a lot of fun! I am hoping we can find out the gender in 2 weeks because my brother Zac works in the radiology dept at the hospital and is going to get me in for an early ultrasound at 14 weeks. So we might find out then, but if not we will for sure go in and get another one done at 16 weeks. It's kinda crazy that we are going to know what we are having so soon! I want a BOY, Jord wants a GIRL. I kinda have a feeling it's a girl though...I guess we will see! Well I have gone on long enough now! Sorry to bore you all with pregnancy talk, I know that can get annoying! But it's just hard not to when you are EXCITED!

BABIES......(doggie style!!)

Jersey had her puppies!! Wahoo!! Two boys and a little girl! They are seriously the cutest things you have ever seen!! Jersey favors her little girl it's so funny she totally cuddles her and spoons her all the time. She is just the best little mamma! The pups love their mamma and squeak and squeal when she's not right by them. My cute little babies just opened their eyes last week, and this week they have started walking all around and play fighting with each other. They are little milk chugs and fight each other for Jersey's nips, it's hilarious! My poor Jersey has hickeys all over her belly from them sucking so hard! I'm already in love with them, I will be so sad when it's time for them to go to their new homes! They will be ready for new homes in a month, so if you know anyone looking for a cute yorkie pup, send them my way! ( I apologize for the crappy phone pics, I will get some better ones soon!

Five minutes after birthing these three lil pups, now tell me what mamma looks this good right after that?

My exhausted little pooch!

Spooning her favorite little baby

This was when they were almost a week old...they still fit in the palm of your hand!

This is how they sleep when mom isn't around to cuddle them
