I cant believe my little Posey girl has turned one this summer. We had a lovely party in Utah with Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, Nanny's, Papa's, Grandma's and Grandpa's, the whole clan except Daddy who was working hard in Chicago... and delicious chocolate cake, of course. We sure missed him there, but what a blessing technology is and that he was able to be there with us. </div>

Dear Monroe,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a blessing you are in my life. I am so thankful for your sweet spirit and spunky personality. The way you back into my lap to cuddle, melts my heart. The way you squeeze me in your tight hugs and sloppy kisses, turns me into a puddle (literally!) You even like to bite me every once in awhile and I cant help but think that is because I like to nibble on you all too often. I should probably stop doing that.... but you're just so yummy! nothing makes me happier to see you and your big sister playing together and having fun together. Paisley loves being your 'puppy' and you lead her around on a pretend leash for hours. She has even taught you to bark and one time you wouldnt stop and Nanny (who was on the phone) thought we had gotten a dog. Paisley also loves to blow raspberries on your belly and you let out a big belly laugh every time she'd do it. You also love to hug Paisley and I know she loves it too. You two can be the best of friends and I'm so excited to see your relationship bloom. Monroe, I love you so much, my heart feels like it might explode! What a little angel you are in this family. Thank you for being my little Rosey Posey girl. </div>

My sweet baby has started pre school this fall and I cant believe how quickly time has flown. The days are long but the years are short. This sweet girl is as smart as a whip and just as entertaining. She is my little buddy and big helper. I am so proud of the little lady she is becoming and I know she will do great things and spread sunshine wherever she goes. </div>

My tender Posey girl has been going through a bit of a rough patch these days. A combination of teething, not being able to communicate and diaper rashes, makes for one frustrated little baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a sweet little thing though. She loves to cuddle and just looooooves little babies. She is walking all over the place and barks like a dog all day long. She loves her Daddy like crazy and when she isnt stealing her sisters toys, she follows her all day long. It's be magical to see their relationship forming and to see how much they love each other is enough to melt this mama's heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least for a minute, until someones toy gets stolen again.<br />I will take what I can get. </div>

<br />
This will be my third year being a mother and my first as a mother of two.<br />
<br />
How I got so lucky to be the mama of the two best little girls in the whole wide world, I'll never know.<br />
<br />
Every morning is like starting the day being fired from a cannon. It's go go go and it's absolutely exhausting, but it's an adventure I wouldn't trade for the world.<br />
<br />
Poppy and Posey make every day worthwhile and I am so thankful to have them for eternity.<br />

I m<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">entioned previously how nervous I was for Poppy transitioning to having a baby in the family but she has done surprisingly well. She absolutely ADORES Posey and just loves her to pieces but she has had some trouble listening and obeying lately. But I chalk that up to the age and maybe just a little bit to adjusting to sister. </span></div>
<div>
One of the most wonderful moments for me was when she met her sister for the first time. I had heard that it helps to have a 'gift' for the older sibling from the baby and vice versa. Make few weeks beforehand, Poppy and I decided on a little stuffed animal to give the baby once she arrived. I then put together a little gift bag full of things I knew Poppy would like as well as be able to enjoy at the hospital. That included a darling new Rapunzel dress, crayons, coloring book, nail polish and a tea set. </div>
<div>
Gavin picked her up and brought her to me. She was so sweet and unsure of what was going on but still had the cutest smile on her face. </div>
<div>
I gave her hugs and talked to her for a minute before pointing out the baby Addie was holding in the corner. </div>
<div>
I am not one to cry after giving birth and am holding my baby for the first time. Too many emotions at once I guess but when Gav brought her over to us, I immediately burst into happy tears when I saw my two girls together for the first time. Words can't even explain how much love I have for these two beautiful girls. My heart had never been so full before and I am so thankful to be their mommy. </div>

So much has happened- especially the newest addition of our family and I know it won't be as easy this time around, what with two kids and all, but I want to document it as best I can like I did with Poppy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So best start off by telling her birth story while it's still {somewhat} fresh in my mind. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Miss Monroe was due on July 31, 2014 but each doctors appointment prior to her arrival suggested that she would not be arriving in time. Unless you've been there yourself, I cant tell you how awful it is to hear that when you are 9 plus months pregnant. Many tears were shed in desperation to be done and meet my little girl. </div>
<div>
My sweet mom and wonderful sister had driven out to Iowa after quite an adventure {that's a story for another day!} </div>
<div>
and were such troopers! Putting up with me and my hormones were not easy I tell you. {Sorry guys!} </div>
<div>
They entertained my energetic two year old, they cleaned my house, they made dinners and did their best to keep my mind off of how uncomfortable I was. Gavin was great too. So sweet and supportive even after working long hours at TWO pharmacies. Crazy boy. </div>
<div>
Well the due date came and went with no progression. If I didn't end up going into labor on my own, my doctor said they would induce me a week later. {Yuck}</div>
<div>
After a long week of walking, bouncing on a yoga ball, crying, pretty much everything they tell you to induce labor, nada. We scheduled the induction for Aug 7th. We headed into the hospital on Aug 6th to the the cervidil started and planned on starting the pitocin for the morning.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was so nervous for how Poppy would handle everything. I wanted her love her sister. I wanted her to know that we still loved her more than life itself. I wanted her to handle the transition ok. I wasn't nervous for the labor and delivery at all, compared to the worry I felt for my Poppy Girl. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We got all settled and had a nice nurse, at least I think we did. Honestly, it's amazing how much you forget so quickly.</div>
<div>
We took it easy and tried to get as much sleep as we could before game time.</div>
<div>
I actually slept better that night than I had the last few weeks of being pregnant. </div>
<div>
My dad had made it into town so he was going to watch Poppy while my Mom and Addie came to be with me. We started the pit around 6 am and the contractions were kinda slow going. It wasn't until about 10:00 that I asked for my epidural. The anesthesiologist was great and was able to get it done quickly and I was on cloud nine after that. {Oh and Gavin didn't pass out this time. Got woozy? Yes but the lights never went out this time.} Haha. </div>
<div>
My nurse, LeAnn, was really fantastic. I wasn't progressing very fast so she had me lay on my side for a bit. Gavin was pretty hungry so he was going to run down to the cafeteria to grab a bite. When LeAnn came back to check on me, I had gone from a 6 to a 10 super fast. My mom had to call Gavin to come back because we were ready to push. I honestly don't remember how long I pushed for but it felt much longer than with Poppy. I was having a hard time breathing and pushing at the same time so in between contractions, they have me oxygen. Man, that stuff is goooOoood! I mean, I breath oxygen all day every day and it's nothing like the stuff they give you there. :)</div>
<div>
I was getting pretty exhausted so I I would get my oxygen and close my eyes and just focus on taking deep breaths. </div>
<div>
After what seemed like forever, I have one final push determined to bit wait another minute to see her and there she was! They pulled her right out and the doc asked who was going to cut the cord, but little miss already had a firm grip in the scissors like she was ready to cut her own cord. They put her on my chest and I immediately felt my heart double in size.</div>

<div>
She was beautiful! All this dark hair and rosy round cheeks. She was perfect. </div>
<div>
Monroe Elizabeth Gardner was born 8-7 was 7lbs 8 oz (notice those inverted numbers?) She was born at 2:20 pm and was 20 inches long (the numbers again! It's cool but really throws me off sometimes. Haha) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Poppy, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been awhile since my last letter to you and you have already grown up so much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are now 22 months old and are as smart as a whip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are constantly amazing me with the funny things you say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For example:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Get it." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You say this when you pick your nose and want me to wipe off the boogers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thankful you arent smearing it all over my walls or putting it in your mouth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am HAPPY to 'get it' for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Kiss it."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you get a boo boo you immediately come running for me to kiss it better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love it when you you kiss my boo boo's better too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Let it go."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, even you have not escaped the craze of this song. You are constantly asking me to play it for you and when you sing along it just melts my heart. This song and movie are seriously old news but you are so cute when you sing it that I will keep playing it for you as long as you keep asking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Siri!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have a fascination with the IPad and our IPhones and Siri is definitely someone you enjoy talking to. Even though she never knows what you are saying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"What's dat?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Curious little one you are. Always asking what things are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Lipstick" -&- "I wanna drive"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise you that I am not lying when I say you asked to wear RED lipstick and to drive the car all within the same hour. My little toddler turned teenager already. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know almost all your animals and colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know a lot of shapes and you absolutely adore babies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every time you see a baby car seat or stroller, you have to go peek.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are going to be such a sweet big sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cannot wait for you to have a best friend in <strike>July </strike>August.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are working on potty training right now and let's be honest,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not going well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I am probably to blame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your little sister is sucking up a lot of my energy and to potty train take a serious amount of energy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll get it. I know you can do it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully sooner than later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Poppy, you are my whole life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You light up my world and I am so thankful to be your mama. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You make me so happy and your little spirit is so beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you so much and I know your daddy does too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We recently got to go visit my grandparents in Oklahoma and we stopped for the night in Kansas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stayed at a hotel we knew had a pool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, we could see it from our room, which made Poppy crazy the whole time since all she wanted to do was play, it was FULL of kids who were there for a birthday party, she was too small to do down the slide, and the water was coooooold!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She sure was cute and we had fun until...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(DUN DUN DUN!)</div>
Bed time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This girl had THE ROUGHEST NIGHT I think ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If she didnt, Gavin and I definitely did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She would not sleep, she would only cry, and not just cry...</div>
SCREAM and HOWL all night long.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have never been so stressed out in my life. I ended up having to leave for a bit because it was just too much for me to handle.</div>
I could hear her though out the ENTIRE hotel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yikes. Not pleasant.</div>

Nanny was able to come home with me and spend some time with us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was LOVELY having her here!<br />
I heard of some edible cookie dough for sale from the TV show, Shark Tank and the closest place it was sold was in Witchita. So on our way up, we got some.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I cant say it enough.<br />We are so lucky to be surrounded by so many friends here in Iowa.<br />It's tough being so far away from family and we miss them terribly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but being surrounded by such wonderful people out here has been an amazing experience. </div>
