Easter

So Sadie did make her first visit to the Easter bunny on Good Friday.  Luckily the photographer was quick because the first picture was the only one she didn't cry in.  When I look at her little face she makes me laugh.  It is as if she is pushing her cheeks out as far as possible.  I felt bad for that poor bunny though, it was really hot. 

Easter Sunday we spent at my grandmother's.  We were finally able to take a decent five generations picture.  Our ages range from 93 yrs old  to 9 weeks old, which is pretty rare.  Sadie was a trooper and was completely mesmerized by Maw Maw Dot.  It was an eventful first Easter and Sadie was definitely exhausted when we got home later that evening.

Time has flown....

I know that I am the biggest slacker when it comes to posting pictures on here! I drive Sadie crazy with the camera in her face but I just never seem to sit down and actually upload them.  Well enough about my slacking....let's talk about Sadie!  She had her 2 month check up and shots last Monday.  She is 11 lbs and 10oz.  Her shots went well, she screamed during the actual shot, but quickly got over it.

 Hanging out with Grammie!!!

 Getting ready for Miss Gabrielle's birthday party!

 Having fun at the house with Momma! Miss Smiley!!!

Everyday I am more amazed at how fast she is growing up.  She is definitely developing her own personality and attitude...lol.  I have been trying for a while to capture her turning over on video, and it finally happened last week.  It takes her a minute but she doesn't give up.  I get so excited when she hits milestones and I can actually catch her doing it.

1 Month Today!!!

So it has been a month!!! I can't believe how time has flown by these past four weeks.  Sadie is getting more and more alert everyday.  She looks at you now when you talk to her and she is developing her own little personality that I am finally getting to understand a little more and more each day. We took our first outing just mommy and Sadie yesterday to Hobby Lobby.  She slept the whole time which was nice because I was nervous on my own.  We are getting into a schedule now and it is great.  We are only getting up once a night which allows for some sleep for mommy! 
Sadie is lifting her head and doing what I like to call baby push-ups during tummy time.  I don't want her to grow up too fast.  Well I hope everyone is doing well and we will keep you all posted on life with Sadie!!!!

Sadie

So it has been 3 weeks and Sadie is doing wonderful. At her first doctors visit she weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and I am sure she has added even more since then.  She is growing like a little weed and getting more and more alert everyday.  We are finally getting some type of schedule in our lives, which I think I like more than she does.  Sadie is definitely a mover and a shaker, I really think she is going to be an early crawler because she already scoots herself when you lay her on her stomach. 

Here are some of photos from her newborn photo session, in which she used the bathroom on pretty much everything in the studio. The pictures came out awesome and you would never know that she was not a fan of being naked.

I am going to try to really stay on top of the blog so you can all see what Sadie is up to.  Hopefully I will master the video camera and I can get some action on here.  I really can't believe that it has been three weeks since she came into our lives.  She is absolutely perfect and James and I are having the best time playing with her and watching her develop into this little person right before our very eyes.

Welcome Sadie Ysabel!!!!!

Sorry it has taken a while for me to update but for those that do not know last week was a long one with a fantastic outcome!  So the short and sweet version of labor for Sadie goes something like this...we went in at midnight on the 14th.  We started inducing as soon as I got there after 26 hours of labor she had decided that she was still not ready to come out, so we had a c-section, and Sadie was born @ 2:04a.m. February 16, 2011 weighing 8.01 lbs and 19.5 inches long. 

Since making her appearance she has been a busy girl, meeting her new family and friends.  Here are some pictures so you can see somewhat of a timeline leading up to Sadie's debut into the world.

Sadie is perfect and we are loving the new addition to our lives.  I can't wait for everyone to meet our little angel. She is definitely the spitting image of her father...lol! 



Only 4 more days.....

So for those that do not know yet, we are inducing on February 15, 2011.  I am so excited to finally get to meet our little girl.  She is going to be a day after Valentine's Day baby!  So we are running around doing last minute things getting prepared for her arrival.  I have some pics of her nursery so everyone can see the finished results. 

So we wanted a simple, realxing environment and we are very happy with the results.  I can't wait to have her here and begin our lives as a family.

As for the 15th, I am going to try to keep everyone updated on the progress and get pictures posted as soon as possible.  We will be delivering at Slidell Memorial Hospital, and I am not opposed to visitors.  Since I have been asked that by a couple of different people.  I look forward to posting the first pics of our little Sadie. 

37 weeks

So after a disappointing doctors appointment yesterday, Sadie has decided to camp out for a little longer.  We are still hopeful that if she doesn't come on her own she will be born on Valentine's Day with a little help from the doctor.  I can honestly say that I am ready to meet our little girl.  People have been asking to see pictures of me so I will obliged with one picture.  I did not realize how big she makes me look...lol.

As James would say there is alot of baby in there...lol.  Oh well, only 12 more days...hopefully.



James has been busy finishing the kitchen.  Thanks to a help from my mom and his dad the backsplash is finished and the hood has been installed.  After the painting of the beam has been completed we will be able to put the surround on the body of the hood to finish the look.  The cabinets are going to have to wait but we have a working kitchen that is definitely a huge improvement from where we started.  Here are some pics to show you...
