First bow in her hair!

Samarah finally has enough hair to BARELY put a bow in, and i mean barely. its not really in the middle of her head its not quite long enough in the front so its more in the back but i had to get a picture!! It didn't stay up and she ripped it out anyway.. but we are getting there! Bald baby lol

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So I would have actually had this up on Halloween, but I put Samarah in her crib and realized I left the camera in there with her.. and I didn't want to wake her up. So its only one day later but that is pretty good for me!

So remember awhile back I did a post about why we call Samarah 'HAM'?  When we saw this costume, I could not resist. So perfect.

She is so cute!

Struttin it in her pig (ham) costume! complete with hooves and a tail!

chillin with dad waitin for the trick or treaters

I was putting her costume on in the morning to make sure it fit and she took off with her hooves on!

So both me and Chris normally work evenings.. So I didn't think we'd do anything with Samarah. But chris work gave it to him off and I decided to take the afternoon off and be a mom. and i am so glad that I did.

Chris brought her down to Springville's main street trick or treat and she did so good just fascinated with all the costumes and people! we came home had dinner, passed out candy and enjoyed seein our lil ham!

Radio on.. Dance... radio off... stop dancing..

Title says it all! she dances anytime music comes on and its pretty much the cutest thing ever! she puts her hand up and jams out! I love this girl!

Penguin pajamas

So Chris dressed Samarah in pajamas the other night.. it was the first time he put her in them cuz they are more wintery pajamas.. and when i saw what she had on I ran to my room... came out and had chris take a picture!!

We were twinners! they both are footy pajamas, have penguins with scarves, and stars all over it!! haha! 

samarah getting even closer to walking! video!

This is the first time she ever stood up on her own without holding onto anything and then walked!! Look at the HUGE smile on her face at the end of the video, so cute!!

How to decide when to have baby #2

Now that Samarah is 1 the question of..'when you gonna give her another brother or sister?' seems to be asked on a weekly basis.

I don't know when.

Honestly? I'm scared. I don't know if I want to go through that again. I didn't even have that bad of an experience but I am like a lil bit traumatized from it! Its not the weight, i'm ok with the weight i'm at. I had some issues after down in that area obviously.. i couldn't walk very well for weeks. i couldn't walk down to see my baby in the nursery.. I don't know if that contributed to the post partum I had. But I am scared I don't want to go through post partum again! Mine didn't get to severe thank goodness, i never had thoughts of harming her but i just was flat of emotion. I felt like I didn't want her, like having a baby sucked. I don't want to go through that again. now she is the most amazing incredible thing in my life, but it wasn't like that for months :(

I think that we are only going to have two kids.. So do I just go ahead and have them close together? Do I wait till my body is more healed and I feel more mentally ready? Will I ever feel mentally ready? Will 2 years or 5 years make a difference in how I feel? Will my body ever heal completely? How much time do I give myself to feel ready?

Too many questions that I don't know how to answer :( if anyone has comment feel free to write them. I'm in a little funk about it in case you can't tell.
