Going Home!

After two days in the hospital we were all excited about heading home.

Comfortable and cozy at home!

Finally Here

What a day. Sadie finally made it here. I was scheduled to be induced at 7 am and ended up going into labor at 3am that morning. After watching Peter Pan, taking a hot bath and a few other last minute preps and contractions 2-3 min. apart we headed to the hospital. After an epidural, a nap, four hours, and pushing, she finally came. There is nothing more amazing then when they place that little girl up on your lap. I love being a mamma.

Very happy daddy!
We thought Sadie looked Samoin for the longest time. Her sister Ruth looked Albino. You could see her veins through who skin she was so white. Sadie was nice red and chubby!
The first diaper changed...performed by Eric, honestly I didn't change one diaper the whole time we were in the hospital, and I don't change too many at home. What a sweetheart.

The Best Baby Shower

Many Many Thanks to Chris Bartlett. She was such a doll and put together this wonderful shower. We had such a great time. The gifts were all more than I expected and I was thrilled with the outfits. Dressing Sadie has become such a treat!

We also played the funniest, most entertaining baby shower game I had ever played. Normally I don't find myself laughing this hard at a baby shower. Each diaper was filled with a different type of candy bar and you had to determine what type. This was so funny because I had changed so many diapers that resembled these candies. It was such a hit!

And here is the angel that put this all together. Thank you so much. I really loved it.
