2 week appointment

Sarah had her 2 week appointment today and she did great. She is 8 lbs 5 ozs, which is 2 oz more than her birth weight, which is awesome since she is a breast fed baby. She is a very mellow baby except when she is hungry or put in her car seat. She has gotten upset every time she has been placed in her car seat today. I hope she gets over that pretty quick because we have to take Meghan and Jenna to and from school every day....

Sarah is sleeping well and enjoys lots of kisses and hugs from her big sisters!

Sarah recieved these two stuffed toys from her big sisters for Christmas this year.

Meghan gave her the Pooh and Jenna gave her the doll.

Christmas Day

My time has been taken up by nursing, sleeping and taking care of three little girls...so the blog was put on the back burner for a while. I started this post right after Christmas but wasn't able to get to it until today.

We had a great Christmas and really enjoyed our family time with Memom and Papa. This was the first time they were with us at our house for Christmas. Sarah had a nice sleepy first Christmas and enjoyed her napping and milk. Meghan and Jenna received some very nice gifts from family and loved everything they received.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!!!

December 23, 2009

Morning of my induction.

Rob and I were getting ready to leave the house and head to the hospital.

It was 645am.

In the hospital gown all ready to go!

7 1/2 hours after arriving at the hospital Sarah Elizabeth is finally born.

Weight: 8lbs 3oz

19 1/2 inches long

Proud Daddy to three little girls.

Sarah after her bath.

My nurses, mid-wife, an OB Doctor and all the staff at the hospital were wonderful.

I was able to go home less than 24 hours after delivery,

so Sarah and I could be with the rest of the family on Christmas.

Snow in the UK!

Jenna and Meghan enjoying the snow!

Jenna's snow worm!

Nessie (the neighbors dog) is checking out the girls playing.

The neighborhood!

We have had about 6 inches of snow since Thursday evening and it looks like we may not be finished getting it. The girls started out their winter break a day early due to the snow. I have to say I love snow much more than cold rain. The girls have really enjoyed playing outside, warming up with some hot chocolate then heading back out for some more snow fun. I hope some of the snow will still be around when my parents arrive middle of next week...but not enough to mess up traffic or flights.

39 weeks

39 weeks!!!

I never thought I would make it this far....but it looks like I was wrong!!

I had a doctor appointment earlier this week and my body has not started getting ready for labor. I was hoping to get my membranes stripped, but my cervix hasn't softened or thinned....we think I was about 1cm dilated, but the mid-wife couldn't check me completely.

My next doctor appointment is Dec 22nd...so we will see;)
