Doctor Visits

Makynzie and I both had to go to the doctor today. Newborn check for Makynzie and to get my staples removed. Dr. Kneesel was pleased in how my incision looked and said he would see me back in a week for another check. Makynzie saw Dr. Alazard since Dr. Hyun was out of he office. Her weight was up an ounce to 7 pounds 3 ounces and was measuring 20 1/4 inches long. Our tall and skinny girl is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75-90th for height. Dr. Alazard was so great with Makynzie and even asked about how big brother was adjusting. Back in a week for her 2 week appointment.
Busy day, she is zonked!

Picture Day!

We headed down to Nelson, NV to take a few maternity pictures and family pictures. Kristin Wilson did an amazing job dealing with my crabby I don't want my picture taken son. Here are a few of my favorites.

Her hands maybe small but she already has him wrapped around her little finger!

Mayson Meets His Little Sister

We were not sure how this was going to go over. How do you explain to a 2 year old that he is going to have a baby sister? Through out my pregnancy Mayson would point to my belly and say baby, sissy and sometimes he would say a bubby and a sissy. Thank goodness he was only right with the sissy. Just one baby was enough for us. Well he loved meeting Makynzie. He wanted to hold her,take her he would say, and would point at all of her features. He thought he was pretty hot stuff walking around in his Big Bro shirt.

Delivery Day

Sunday I began having contractions but after heading to bed they went away. So I woke up the next morning and headed to work. After being at work for a few hours my contractions came back. Well my doctor said 5-7 minutes apart for 2 hours. So they started at 10:30 and by 12 they were around 7 minutes apart. Mike was already on his way to pick me up for lunch and I was pretty sure I was door coming back after lunch. I finished up a few things and then headed to find my principal. I let her know that I wasn't going to be coming back after lunch and baby Aslinger was going to be making their arrival this afternoon. . Well Mike picked me up and I headed home for a nap hoping maybe would go away like they did the day before. Well while I was napping Mike ran some errands, of course I was not prepared. He got home and they were closer to 5 minutes apart. Well we decided to head to the hospital. We got there and my doctor was already on her way over for another scheduled c-section that went into labor early. So we got there around 2 and she took me to the OR at 4:30ish. Okay here we go we finally are going to find out of baby Aslinger is a girl or boy. Dr. Kneesel pulled the baby out and Mike leaned down and said you are going to have to decide on how to spell HER name! We were both on tears and disbelief we couldn't believe we had a baby GIRL!

Makynzie Reese Aslinger

I am so excited to finally get a chance to post about the arrival of our baby girl. Makynzie was born on April 23rd at 4:42pm. She weight 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches long. Makynzie is named after my great Aunt Evelyn (her maiden name was Mckenzie) and my grandpa Kenny. Makynzie means son of Kenneth. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy baby girl.

July 2011
Mike and I tied the knot on July 30th. We had a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Discovery Lodge in Evansville, IN. We were able to head home for a week or so before the wedding to spend time with our family and friends and get a few last minute things wrapped up before the big day. On the way home we made a few stops and enjoyed some family time before the crazy wedding weekend. We stopped in Denver, Colorado, one of our favorite cities. We planned on hitting up the zoo, but it was soo hot, so we skipped the zoo and got on stub hub. The Rockies were playing the Braves, which is Mike's favorite baseball team. It was so awesome to be able to take Mayson to his first baseball game and for him to see his Daddy's favorite team.

First baseball game.

Boo the Braves lost.
While we ere home family and friends really helped out with watching Mayson and helping with all the DIY projects that I had planned. We had a few little hiccups which I think happens with all weddings. The air went out at the rehearsal dinner, which made it very very hot, but the food was so amazing that it made it some what bearable. The night before the wedding, as we were trying to get Mayson ready for bed, he fell and hit his head. I thought he was going to the ER, and of course my emotions were so crazy I freaked. He had a HUGE bump, but thankfully his hair was long enough to cover the damage. The day of the wedding went pretty smooth. We had a rain storm come through about 1 hour before the wedding, it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day though right. With the rain we weren't able to finish all of the pictures, but Laura did such an amazing job with all the rest it was totally fine.

My two favorite guys all dressed up. They had matching suits and even matching ties.

Love this!

These are a few from Mike and I seeing each other for the first time.

We headed out to Bosse Field for some pictures. Mike and some of his groomsmen were college baseball teammates.
