New baby, yelling toddler, good ol LBK

We are leaving Lubbock and as usual my heart hurts. This time, for more reasons than the norm.

Our sweet niece, baby Linley Jaidyn Hogle, was born Wednesday night at 8:50 and weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 20.5 inches long. Though she is perfect, she still had to be put in the NICU for complications with breathing due to inhalation of meconium. So her brand new mamma and daddy barely got to see her before he was wheeled off:( but she is doing great now and is absolutely precious! She has little chubs that I could kiss for days! Her mamma is one heck of a trooper and her daddy is doing a great job taking care of them both.

We said our thanks to the Big Man because they think her kidneys will be fine. We worried her whole pregnancy about a complication with her kidneys and our prayers were answered. so grateful for that:)

We stayed with the owners of our house, who have become great friends. I think Corey and Dusty are cut from the same mold (well add 100 lbs and a foot to Corey and they r) and I love his wife Mari. they have two kiddos that are adorable and Brigz think they hung the moon. We had a blast!! but I failed to get even one picture.

Going to Lubbock is so bittersweet for us. We LOVE going and LOVE the city. It is quiet, small, polite, and just us. It feels perfect when we are there. I used to think it was from the memories from college there, but now I know it is the lifestyle that we miss so badly. BUT reality is we can't be there. Life is so good since we moved to Moriarty, but I think we will always struggle with feeling like our heart is in the LBK. If our entire family would pick up and move there, it would never be a question.

Brigz was a pretty good baby this trip. He officially hates his carseat, hospitals, and high chairs, but he is holding up. We are a little warn out from the ups, downs, highs, lows of the trip along with the absolute 19 month meltdowns that seemed very frequent. I'm officially exhausted. And done. In fact, in currently checking out on the trip home and writing this blog while he is freaking out in he back seat. Probably not the best plan, but I'm just spent. Don't judge me.

I'm so happy for my SIL and the awesome adventure they are about to embark on. Welcome sweet Linley! Brigz is excited to show you the ropes (although your parents should be worried about that!!) please pray that Linley gets to go home soon so her parents can love on her!!
