Case and Kylynn

Case is an amazing BIG brother! My favorite moments are when he leans in to kiss her "just because". I don't tell him to kiss her, love her, pat her, etc very often but he just does it on his own. He wants to give her paci to her when she fusses even the slightest bit. He gives her a lovie to hold when he gets up in the morning. Case turned two amongst the excitement of Kylynn and has enjoyed all of his "presents" to the fullest. Case has become more independent and will just play and play all on his own.

Case Loves...
* being outdoors whenever we have the opportunity
* playing with his barn full of these teeny tiny animals he hauls around everywhere
* golfing (and is using close to the correct form)
* shooting baskets
* hitting the baseball off the tee
* dancing to any type of music
* wrestling with Daddy
* reading reading reading
* eating at Chick Fil-A
* coloring
* putting puzzles together
* counting, saying his ABC's, singing

Case is an amazing little boy. He continues to surprise us with the things he knows at 2 years of age. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He is adjusting well to the new baby sister...

Kylynn Loves...
* to be held, Mommy has a hard time putting her down (a guilt thing, I think)
* eating, WOW, this girl can eat fast and is growing so quickly!
* sleeping...sometimes I have to take all her clothes off just to wake her up
* looking all around

Kylynn is also a blessing from above. She is beautiful and a very easy-going baby. She hardly ever cries, only if she is hungry. She has blue eyes for now and lots of super dark hair. We can't even begin to express our love for the baby girl...

Kylynn Sue Bishop

Wow, where does the time go? I really need to keep up with this so we have something to look back on in the years to come...

Kylynn Sue Bishop was born on January 31st, 2012 at 4:57pm. She weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 20 inches long.

Kelsey flew here on Wednesday, January 25th. We figured Kylynn would be born SOME time before she planned to fly out on February 6th. I was dilated to 2cm for the longest time so we scheduled to be induced on the 31st. It was a really hard decision for me since Case came on his own...I just wanted to her to make her on appearance. I went into "false" labor on the night of the 26th, went to the hospital and all that, only to be sent home in tears. I felt so foolish but it happens, I guess.

We went in on the 31st at 5am. I of course did not sleep that night worrying but at least could be at peace knowing Kelsey was home with Case to take care of him. It was a LONG day, well 12 hours, to be exact. Little stubborn girl did not want to enter this world but finally did. I was never in any pain and was relaxed the entire time. What am amazing experience it was again for Ryan and I.

We only stayed ONE night because I do not enjoy being at the hospital and begged to go home. The one night we did stay, Ryan was over there on his little pull out couch just a snoring away and woke up after about 8 hours of sleep refreshed and ready for his day. Seriously...he said it was like a hotel stay. We went home on Wednesday, February 1st and were greeted by Grandpa Vern, Great Grandma Hoskin, Aunt Kirby and Great Aunt Lori. It was so great to have them here for 5 days.

Kylynn Sue Bishop has a guardian angel who watches over us at all times. Cindy Sue Neill is in heaven watching down on us and I am sure wishing she were here. If she only knew how much I wish she was here...Kylynn will never have the opportunity to know such an amazing Grandma but I will be sure to tell her as often as possible how wonderful my Mother was and how I can only hope to be as good as a Mom myself...
