Sink Baby and more

Amelia's new home....Walker proof, out of his sight, safest spot in the house. Yep, we have a sink baby. Walker has also decided to revisit his toys...seems now that a baby is using them, he has decided to use them too. Walker also decided to become the world's messiest eater since Amelia came around. So fun! I am adjusting to having two, but it is definitely challenging. I am nursing Amelia, and she is doing great! We went to the pediatrician today for a weight check to make sure she is getting enough with each feed, and she had gained 6 oz in six days, and now weighs 10lbs 2 oz. So I am excited, but we still have to go back on Monday for another check. Let's hope she is big enough and they won't have to recheck her.

Meeting my Sister...

She's here!!!!!!

Oh my Goodness! Our "little" girl arrived at 8:02 am on Monday morning....weighing in at a hefty........drum roll please.......10 lbs 6.4 oz!!!!! YIKES! I am glad that I went for the c-section. All is well, and we are home. Because she was so large, she required a little more monitoring in the intermediate nursery so I was only able to see her at certain hours and she couldn't come to the room with us. I was way sad about that. It is hard enough with your crazy emotions to have a child let alone not get to see her. My heart goes out to all the moms with babies in the NICU. It is brutal, and mine was only in there for 2 days and nights. She is big and beautiful and eating like a monster....every four hours and then sleeps soundly. I wasn't able to nurse her so I have been pumping, but the neonatalogist said..."Good luck nursing her, that will be like taming a bucking bronco. She doesn't act very lady like when she is mad." Well, at least she comes by it honestly.

Walker is confused, but is adoring his new little sister. I missed him terribly, and now that we are home, he is petting her and kissing her like crazy. I was too emotional to take pics of their first meeting, but my dad took a ton. Once I get them, I will post!

Here we go!!!

I am posting this bright and early as we are soon to be headed to the hospital....Yeah! We get to meet our little girl. Seems that I thought she was coming on Valentine's, I was contracting regularly and having a lot of back pain with each one. The doc sent me to the hospital, looked at my monitor strip, called what I was doing some weird word and offered to section me that night. Jonathan and I both thought it would be better to wait till this morning and stay with the original plan as long as the Doc agreed. She did, she said Amelia looked beautiful on the monitor. She couldn't be any better, so that made us feel more comfortable about keeping the original date. So, the c-section is at 8 am, feel free to leave your guesses regarding her weight! It should be interesting to see what she weighs in at. I will update with pictures as soon as possible!
