Things I've Learned

Things I've Learned in the last week

1. That morphine button really works wonders 2. I can fall asleep while putting in my contacts 3. I can fall asleep while standing up 4. I can love another child as much as I love Maci...amazing 5. Jared is such a good dad 6. It's not cute to have a tummy AFTER the baby (: 7. Babies don't just smile because of gas...and who ever said that's why they smile anyway? 8. I love my new baby so much that I don't mind getting 3 hours of sleep a day. Seriously, nothing else could make me do that. 9. Planned surgery is way better than unplanned surgery 10. I am the luckiest girl in the world

It's all worth it! But still disgusting.

She came out screaming and it was such a great sound

I love my baby!

Maci rocks as a big sister

Proud sisters

Proud Daddy with his girls!

I love her pouty mouth

Proud (and exhausted) mommy!

Cale and Suzette visiting at the hospital

Sweet cousins!

I swear this was a responsive smile to Jared. She did it more than once and was looking him right in the eye. I think babies can smile responsively right away.

First day home! I love her tiny self.

I love the clean baby smell

Maci is so sweet to baby Paige!

Thank you all for your comments on the previous post! It makes our event so much more exciting when we know you are all excited for us. too!

Killing Time

Last weekend was so much fun...here are some updates!

This weekend, Suzette threw me a really fun baby shower. It turned out to be so much fun!

I noticed I was really sick of being pregnant (see 37 weeks below--this picture is for you, Trish...I hope you're happy because this is painful)...

So we decided to distract ourselves with Disney on Ice! Besides the kid behind me pounding the chair with his feet the whole time, it was a super cute show. Although Maci was pretty disappointed that Ariel did not have a fin, but ice skates. She soon concluded herself that she just took off her fin for the show, and seemed pretty satisfied with that explanation.

We had such a fun weekend. Next Friday is the big day and we STILL don't have a name! If you have any cute girl names, we are open for suggestions!!!

And please can someone paint my toenails...I'm saying please.
