One Month

The little one is now one month old! I can not believe how quickly the time has passed!

She had a doctors appointment on Wednesday for a well check and is now weighing 7lbs 11 ounces and is 21.5 inches in length.

She had her second Hep B shot as well, and I think the shot bothered her big sister more than it bothered her. It was sweet to see how much big sis cares for her little sister.

I still can not believe I am a Mama of two sweet little angels. I also can not believe that the baby weighs now what the Midget weighed at 2 weeks old!

As for temperment- the little one is great! She only cries when wet or hungry, and seems to lack the usual "fussy time" most infants have at certain times of the day. I hope she stays this way, because it truly makes things easier on mommy :)

I am still exclusively nursing, and am very excited that we have passed the one month mark with no issues. I didn't have it as easy the first time around, so I am elated that we are doing so well!!
I'm adjusting to lack of sleep. SLOWLY adjusting, but nonetheless adjusting. Some days are harder than others, but it is what it is.

Her baptism is scheduled, so were working on that now. I can not wait for everyone to finally meet her!!!

Hubby and I are car shopping, so when we finally buy something I'll post some pics. I hope to have this done by tomorrow :) SUPER EXCITING!!!!

My sister comes in from Tucson for a visit at the end of this week which I am very much looking forward to. Beyond that- nothing too new to report!

I hope everyone is well!

Until next time...

5 Years...

Today My husband and I celebrate 5 wonderful years married.

I love you baby! The last eleven years of my life have been absolutely wonderful and I have you to thank for that.
We have grown a lot since being married 5 years ago

We have a lovely home, 2 beautiful little girls, and enough love to fill the grand canyon.

Thank you for being my partner and very best friend. I love you and look forward to spending many more happy years by your side.

I love you!

New additions...

Our household has grown by TWO feet!!!

On February 23rd, 2008 we welcomed our newest addition to the family.

I give you Sophia Laine 6lbs, 15oz 20.25 inches born at 4:47pm

The last few weeks have been busy, but we are managing. The midget is adjusting nicely and Sophia is really doing well!! She sleeps ok for the most part, but this Mommy is having a hard time adjusting to not being able to have coffee and little to no sleep. Regardless of how tired I am, at the end of the day it is all worth it. She is finally here and she is the picture of perfection!

I am still taking it easy and trying to get some sort of schedule established. Michelle is doing a great job as a big sister and adjusting very well! I couldnt be prouder! She is a great big help and is absolutely head over heels in love with this baby!!

I took some new photos of the girls the other day and I love them!!!! (click the pictures to view larger)

Sophia loves the bath and isnt afraid of the camera!! We are definitely in trouble with 2 blue eyed beauties on our hands!! I still can not get over how much Sophia looks like Michelle did as a baby.

Enjoy the first installment of photos, I am sure there will be many many more in the weeks to come!!

Until next time...
