Two weeks old!



Sarah is two weeks old now! She had her first doctors appointment today and passed with flying colors. She is now 6 lbs 4 oz which is awesome considering she came home from the hospital at 5 lbs 9 oz. She's also grown half an inch! The craziest part is that we still haven't even reached her due date. I was fully expecting to carry this little one full term so it was a major shock when she came 3 weeks early! It is a bit crazy at times with the two of them but my parents are a HUGE help every day! I don't know how I would do it if I were home alone all day long. I'm sure we'll get there but right now it's so nice to have some extra help. Mainly they distract Sadie when I'm needing to feed Sarah or when I'm just wiped out and need a nap. I'm SO thankful for their help!!!

Sadie LOVES her baby sister and even says her name...well, sort of. It sounds more like "Yeah, Yeah" but she really is saying Sarah. It's really cute! She loves giving her kisses and would love it if mom would just hand her over and let her carry baby around herself. :) It is hard at times because I basically have to protect Sarah from her big sisters love. Sadie loves to point out Sarah's eyes(which means they are going to get poked out), she'll try to grab her ears, put her finger in her mouth and pat her head. Although we remind her all day long it's hard for a 16 month old to remember to be soft. :) Sadie is a great little helper though. She loves to get me a wipe when I'm changing Sarah's diaper and then she's always willing to go outside with me to throw the stink away. After she drops the nasty little thing in the garbage we both plug our noses and say "Ew, stinky" Sadie's sounds more like "DeeDee" but she sure plugs her nose on Q. She also loves to give Sarah her binky and she even tries to share her bottle with her. I love my girls!!! It's so fun to be a mommy!
