Easter

This Easter was quite different! Its so fun having a child to share it with.  The Saturday before we ate lunch with Tyler's family.  That Sunday we went to church followed by lunch at my parents house.  The girls were a bit too small this year to hunt eggs so we just took a few pictures instead! Trying to get 2 little babies to look your way is quite the task so these are the best ones we got!

What is that? I have a hand???

The girls Easter baskets

First family Easter! 

All of us and the babies! 

I have about 15 pictures like this...trying to get little babies to look your way is pretty much impossible! This is the best one we got though!

Mom, really? I'm over it.

But...I really wanted to get a good picture of her in her basket.  Right after this was taken she spit up everywhere!
Photo session done.

What do you do all day?

I have been asked that question quite a few times here lately! So here is a typical 24 hour period for me

12am- we are usually asleep at this point

Then, depending on how the night goes there are 2 typical schedules:

Schedule 1:

2am- bottle/change time then back to sleep....

5:30am- another bottle/change then back to sleep

9am-bottle/change then we get up!

Schedule 2 (my preferred schedule):

5am- bottle/change then back to sleep

9am-bottle/change then we get up!

At this point we get back to the rest of the day!

9:30-12ish- If she is going to be fussy, this is one part of the day where she will be.  She is normally awake during this time and if she isn't fussy, we "talk" and do things around the house and if I'm going somewhere for the afternoon, I try to get ready in bits and pieces during this time (people with new babies understand this!). Sometimes we go to Mimi's (my mom) house and visit for the rest of the afternoon while Tyler is at work.

12:30pm(sometimes to 1:30)- another bottle/change

1:30-4:30pm- she is usually asleep during this time no matter where we are.  I have started trying to be at home (or my mom's because she has a cradle and she sleeps good in there) and putting her in her bed during this time.  I have quickly figured out that if she doesn't get a good nap during the day, she isn't her happiest that night before bed time.  This is also the time that I will usually go and run errands or get out and about if I need/want to.

4:30pm- bottle/change

5:00-8:00pm- she will nap on and off during this time and we are either at Mimi's or at home visiting with dad (if he isn't playing golf! ha) Sometimes she will take a bottle around 7:30, just depends..if not!....

8:00pm- usually bath time! She still loves her baths so this is always a favorite time of the day.  I am still trying to get some sort of schedule down with her and this part is working out pretty good.  Since she is so little still, a "schedule" sometimes goes to hell in a handbasket :)

8:30pm- bottle/change, change into pjs and start trying to get her to sleep for the night

9:00pm- this is another time during the day that she will get fussy...I think sometimes she is worn out and is fighting her sleep and/or tummy issues.

From this point on we are usually in the bed for the night until the next feeding and we do it all over again.  So, this is what I do all day :)

Might I add, that as I type this, she is napping, peacefully and soundly (she'll probably wake up and I post ha) in her bed. Enjoyable:)

One Month Old!

My sweet little Sadie bug is a whole month old! It hurts me to say that already.  It is unreal that over 4 weeks has gone by since she has entered the world. Other than the occasional stomach pains and fussy periods,  she has been a great baby and we feel so blessed. She sleeps in between bottles at night and is still going around 3 to 4 hours in between bottles. Although, I will say, that for some reason after her nightly bottle (which is usually between 7 to 9, depending on how the day has gone) she goes 5 to 6 hours until her next bottle.  She also gets a bath every night now and she LOVES it! It is the sweetest thing.  She turns into a limp noodle when you put in her the bath.  Makes my heart smile!  I am starting to get out with her a little more now but still not too much.  She hasn't entered Wal Mart yet, I just can't do it.  Too many germs and nastiness there! Yuck.
It is amazing how much one little person can change your life.  My schedule is now HER schedule, she is 100% in control! I never knew I could love something/someone so much until she was here.  We are still falling more in love every day!

I bought some stickers for onesies so I can take pictures of her every 4 weeks, so here they are! She has grown so much!

I love my passy :)

What's over there?

Or back here?

Eeeekkk! Not real sure what she was looking at here haha

We love you Sadie bug!!
