One week old

I can hardly believe it has been a week already since Sadie joined our family. I need time to slow down! We have been enjoying every second of her. Sam is still in love with her and always wants to hold her and kiss her. She is so gentle and sweet with her, it just melts your heart to watch. Sadie is a great baby and a great sleeper!

Here are some recent pics of the girls









Yesterday a friend of mine came up to take some newborn pics of Sadie. I LOVE them and am having a hard time not ordering them all. Here are some of my favorites that she took. Here is her website http://www.twiceasnicephoto.com/blog/





























And the proud big sister!

Happy to be home!

We are home! Yay! We got home from the hospital Friday morning and have been adjusting to having a newborn in the house again. So far, so good. We were reminded how little newborns sleep though :) Sadie decided to be up every 2 hours last night, but sleep for a solid 4 hours today. Figures. LOL

Sam is still in love with Sadie. I am as well. She is just perfect. She is a tiny little one though. We had to go to the doctors today to check her jaundice, and she is now down to 5 lbs 4 oz. So we are working on keeping her up more during feedings so she will eat more. She tends to fall asleep within minutes of starting to eat. We had some luck this afternoon, so I think things are turning around!

Now for the good part- my adorable girls. Enjoy!

Sadie Mae is here!

I am sure you all have heard by now, but Sadie is here! She was born on Wednesday 8/18 at 1:54 pm! She was 6 lbs even (well, technically she was 5 lbs 15.6 oz but they rounded up to 6 lbs) and 19 inches long with a FULL head of dark hair! She is simply amazing!! Any fear that I had about not being able to love another baby as much as Sam disappeared as soon as I laid eyes on her! It really is true that your love multiplies with each child, you dont have to split it up! She is a great baby and a sleeper- just like Sam was! And Sam. Oh Sam is just the cutest thing on the planet with her sister. She LOVES her sister so much- it brings tears to your eyes when you watch her. She just wants to sit and hold her and she studies her hands, and fingers and gives the best kisses to her. And she has also asked where Sadie's earrings are and she told us we needed to paint Sadie's finger nails. LOL.

We are getting released in just a couple hours, and I cannot wait to get home and watch Sam interract with Sadie in her own environment. I also cant wait to get back to the 'normal' of being home.

Here are some pis from the last couple days.





Sadie bought Sam a new baby doll and gave it to her the first time they met :)



















































Will update some more once we are home! But I can tell you that so far being the mom to 2 amazing girls is the best thing in the world. Its simply amazing.
