It’s been one absolutely wonderful, crazy, hectic, exciting and blessed month since our family of four turned into a family of five.

two weeks
I have to brag on Miss Zoey. She’s the easiest baby ever. I never thought I’d say that after Layla but it’s true. Although we’re having trouble getting her to gain weight, she eats great (nursing or bottle, she doesn’t care). When she’s awake she’s content to look around quietly and wait for someone to realize she’s up and ready for some snuggles. This girl loves to sleep too! When she’s out, there is no waking her up. It doesn’t matter how loud Layla and Finley are or if I strip her down, change her diaper, rub a wipey all over her, etc. I can’t believe it’s been two weeks already. Time is gonna start flying by…

zoey paige
Zoey Paige arrived Monday morning weighing 7lbs 4oz and 20 1/4″. My c-section went perfectly and I’m feeling great. However, we did have to stay an extra two nights in the hospital. One because of my respiratory problems and one because of Zoey’s jaundice she had to be put under the lights for 24 hours. We got home yesterday and are starting to settle in. Layla and Finley are absolutely in love with her and constantly check to make sure she’s okay. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your prayers.

time to pack
It’s crunch time. Time to pack the bags, cook some last minute items, scrub the house, wash some laundry and all the other 5 million things you forget that needs to be done. Problem is, I’m sick and I don’t want to do anything. Not just a little yucky sick but more along the lines of coughing up a lung and giving myself breathing treatments sick. I continue to remind myself that all is well. At this time Monday morning, I will be holding my sweet new baby girl in my arms. Please pray for a safe delivery of my baby girl.

I’ve started to go through baby Cooper’s birth pictures and I am so in love with this one that I couldn’t wait to share. I absolutely love the huge smile on Daddy’s face.

baby finley
The kids have enjoyed looking at these “old” pictures with me. Layla loves to see “baby me” (referring to herself). Kinda glad I’m already prego or looking at all these baby photos would give me baby fever 
This was one of those rare moments with Finley when he would actually take a nap. Poor guy was a horrible napper but who can blame him with all those horrible allergies he’s had to suffer through. Oh gosh, I just love it when they sleep like this though…
