I'm a little late on posting her monthly pictures but it's because I just got my cute stickers in the mail.  Can you believe she is already a month old? Weight:   7.14 lbs Height:   19.5 inches These measurements were taken when she was two weeks old so I would say she definitely weighs more and is longer! Eating:   She loves to eat!  She eats every 2-3 hours and is taking around 3 oz of formula in every bottle. Sleeping:   Honestly, she is not a great sleeper.  While she is sleeping, she grunts and makes noises. Most of the time she is very restless but we have learned to just let her make her noises because it's just her and the way she sleeps.  We are just hoping she learns to relax and sleep peacefully.  During the day, she naps in her basket and at night she sleeps in her crib.  I know it's early, but we want her to get use to her room and her bed so we put her in her crib a few weeks ago.  It was an adjustment but she is getti...

We had all the grandparents at the house the other day and Will requested a picture with all of them.  He insisted that they all sit on the couch together for the picture.  It turned out really cute! It snowed pretty much all day today and Will loved playing outside with Bryan.  We took Sadie out for just a few minutes for her first snow picture.  Will loved sledding down the backyard and can't wait to go again hopefully tomorrow!

Finally we had a nice day today.  The weather has been terrible lately and we were starting to get cabin fever so we loaded the kids up and headed to the park today.  (It is still weird to say "kids")  It was almost 70 degrees and gorgeous.  Will had the best time running around and playing on the playground.  The carousel was open today so Bryan and Will rode it too.  It was so nice to get outside and get some fresh air.  Sadie Jane slept the whole time but I think she enjoyed the nice day too! Bryan took this really cute picture of the Sadie Jane and Will this morning.  Will was reading her a story.  Precious babies!

My mom and dad came over last night to keep the kids so that Bryan and I could go eat dinner and get out of the house for a little bit.  While we were actually showered and dressed, we decided to take some family pictures of the four of us!

Everything is going great around our house!  Will is adjusting to having Sadie around and is so sweet with her.  He kisses her on the head, pats her, and checks on her throughout the day.  I will admit that it is hard sometimes to split our time between the two of them.  I find myself worrying that I am spending too much time with Sadie and then when I am with Will I feel bad that Sadie is not getting attention.  I know there is a balance and we are working on it daily.  I am feeling better and better everyday.  I am getting my strength back and healing wonderfully!  Thank goodness the swelling is going down in my legs and feet.  Honestly, the swelling has been the worst part.  It also feels pretty good to be wearing my normal clothes again.  I am not getting "dressed" everyday but I can wear my regular lounge clothes again comfortably.   Sadie is doing great!  She loves to eat and is eating pretty regularly every 3 to 4 h...

Sadie Jane was born on January 14, 2014 at 9:04 pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 7 ozs and was 19.5 inches long.  She is absolutely perfect and has a head full of dark hair! My water broke around 4 am Tuesday morning and we headed to the hospital.  They admitted us into a room and continued to monitor my contractions.  They continued to progress, I received an epidural, but then things began to slow down.  The doctor recommended a c-section which was fine with Bryan and I.  This picture is one of my favorites because it was in the recovery room right after the procedure. This is her first picture with her eyes open and look at that hair! I recovered just fine, sore but good so we headed home Thursday afternoon.  Sadie Jane also checked out good with no problems. Will has been a little sick and also the hospital wasn't allowing anyone under the age of 13 inside the hospital due to the flu outbreak so he couldn't come see us.  He saw his little sister for the...
