Hallie Ann Gillman



She is finally here! Hallie Ann Gillman was born on Tuesday, July 29th at 10:13 A.M. She weighed in at 6lbs. 15 Ounces and is 181/2 inches long! She has tons of black hair and mom and baby are doing great! We are all so happy for Hallie's arrival and that she is healthy and beautiful. Now the Trio is complete with Irelyn ( 3 months), Gracie (4 wks.) and now Hallie. Jamie was so happy and is so glad to have her here and to hold her baby which was long overdue. It was kind of emotional for us all especially Jamie and Luke since they have waited what has seemed like a long time for her. I know that our sweet little Carson was with his sister in Heaven waiting with her for when she was able to come down to this earth. I miss him so much and now even more great full for eternal families and knowing that we get to see him again. Hallie is a very lucky girl to come to such an amazing and strong family and to a mom and dad that will love her and appreciate her more than anything. I know Jamie thought and has said that this might be a bitter sweet day but it was not bitter at all just sweet with tears of joy. I am so great full for my new little niece and know she was sent to be an angel. I am so excited that I get to have a daughter so close together with my sisters daughters. Its going to be so much fun raising these girls together with my sisters, with a little drama of course! I love my sisters and I am so great full for them. I am glad that we are all so close and that we always can laugh and have so much fun together. They are my best friends. I hope that someday Gracie will have a sister because it is so fun and there is something special about sisters. I can't wait for the years to come. Congrats Luke and Jamie, she is beautiful!

Family Night up at Silver Lake

On Monday night we went up AF Canyon with our friends Jared and Holly, Matt and VeeAnn and all their kids. The boys went fishing with the kids while us girls sat by the campfire with the babies and just chatted and made the tin foil dinners. It got a little chilly, I was surprised how cold it actually got because it has been so hot. Luckily we were prepared and we got bundled up as it got darker and colder.I wasn't going to go because I was worried how Gracie would do but she did pretty good and we all had alot of fun!

Mr. Sandman bring me a dream.......

So my cute little newborn has never really seemed like a newborn. Size wise she has but she is so alert all the time. Here she is laying in her crib before bedtime. She seriously has her eyes open like this all the time just looking around. The bad side of that is....SHE NEVER SLEEPS. Not a good sleeper at all. You would think even during the day she would but not really. I am so tired all the time and can't even take naps during the day. At night she wakes up and eats and you think she is sound asleep, so you go put her down and get all nestled back in my bed. I am so comfortable and half asleep and then there it is WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAA! And I am up again. So needless to say I am trying all different things to try and keep her to sleep. I guess it's a good thing she is so dang cute. On a happier note she smiled at me for the first time yesterday, it was so sweet. I know that she knows me and that is so neat. She is also starting to coo now too, I just love her.

PS for those of you know that don't know what the title of my blog is supposed to mean, it is a song that was on the movie Uncle Buck (for those who haven't seen it you should it's hilarious) and the song plays during a part in the movie when the kids are in and out of bed and uncle buck can't sleep. So I think of this song a lot since I am not sleeping. And I would like a dream because when you have dreams that means you are sleeping which is something I haven't done for awhile; dreaming and sleeping!

HAPPY 20TH KYZ!!!

Happy Birthday Kylie! Today is my sister Kylie's birthday. I want her to know that I love her and I am glad she is my sister. She is always so fun and full of life. She is also such a great mom and wife. We hope you have a great day.

Gracie's two week stats......

I took Gracie to her two week Dr. appointment on Tuesday the 15th, she isn't even back to her birth weight yet. I guess I am starving her or something I don't think I have enough milk. So I am going to have to supplement. Anyway she weighed 6'11 when she was born and 18 and half inches long. When we left the hospital she was 6'5.

Weight: 6'9
Height: 20 and half inches

She is 12% for her weight and 58% for height. I can't believe she is already two weeks old. She is really alert for a newborn and hardly ever cries unless she is starving. She is sleeping ok through the night, some nights she will sleep from 12:30 until 5:30 a.m. It seems that everything that I said I wouldn't do with my 2nd child I am doing. More or less out of laziness but also because I am so tired. Hopefully by six weeks it will be better and she will be on some sort of routine and so will I. She loves her baths now that her umbilical cord fell off and she can be submerged in the water. She smiles alot in her sleep and we have noticed she has some pretty deep dimples.

She has this little mark on her lip the Dr. said at first it was from sucking so hard in the womb, which this girl does love to suck, she will suck that pacifier like there is no tomorrow. Now the doc is saying that it could be a birth mark but we won't know for sure until her 2 month appointment, so until then. It also looks like she has no eyebrows or eyelashes because they are so light, so she will probably be a toe head. She has the prettiest color of hair right now. Well we just love her and glad that she is here and healthy! She really is an angel.

Memory Game

Memories, like the corner of my mind...I got this from Kylie's blog and thought it would be fun! I hope you will play along.Here are the directions:
1. Add a comment on my blog and leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot just do anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.
It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments!
