Catching Up

I have alot of pictures for this post so beware!!

A.P. with her monster bow!!

Proud big brothers.

A.P. before her first trip to church!

L's preschool class had a field trip at the park. The kids had a great time feeding the ducks.

E got to come along on the field trip. He loves to feed the ducks too! He looks so much older here!!

L feeding ducks.

One night I put A.P. on the counter top while I cooked. I was talking to her and trying to keep her awake, but it didnt take long and she was out!!

This is A.P.'s first bath. She loves sitting in the bathtub.
I just love her bright eyes!!

When I start to wash her though, watch out!! She can throw a fit with the best of them!! She does not like the washing part of bath time!

She only calms down once I get her wrapped up and warm again! I love this picture because I have the same picture of L like this!

The boys cant resist playing with her if I lay her in the floor for even one second!

My sweet hubby let me sleep in this morning after I fed A.P. We both love this bed!!

Last night E has his awards ceremony at school. He was given the Joyfulness award. We are so sad that he will be leaving his wonderful teacher Mrs. Waind. She is so sweet and fun!! I am also not able to believe that I will have a second grader in the fall!!!

This is L this morning! I thought that he looked so cute bundled up in the living room watching television! Such a cutie pie!!

Things are going pretty good. I have been sick with a viral infection and I am a little concerned about A.P. getting it. She is sleeping good though and last night only got up once to eat! Hopefully we are halfway to the sleeping through the night!! 4 more weeks!! We will see, but I am not going to hold my breath!!

1 week old

Our sweet A.P. is one week old today! It is so hard to believe! We are crazy about this little girl!!

So far she has done very well with her eating. She typically eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. We have seen a few sweet smiles when she is sleeping and one laugh when she was sleeping. She loves to cuddle in the recliner with her daddy. And her passy is her favorite right before she is about to go to sleep.

She Is Here!!

Our sweet A. P. is here!! She arrived Monday, April 4th weighing in at 6lb 14oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

I thought that this day would never come!!

And now our little family of four is a family of five!! We love our little brood!!

We had lots of visitors in the hospital. Aunt Hope came with Amy and Katie and brought us yummy cookies!!

And Aunt Rachel came to help out and give daddy some time out of the room!!

We were also visited by both sets of grandparents!!

I had so much fun dressing A.P in cute hats and outfits while we were in the hospital!

The boys are really proud of her!

Ready to get out of here!!

So far everything has been good and we are home. She is eating and sleeping really well. We are soooo blessed!

36 weeks and money!

I know that I am way behind on my blogging so here is a little catch up. This is a belly picture of me and baby A at 36 weeks. I am currently 39 weeks and have gained 4-5 more pounds since this picture!!

My little buddies. They are so excited about the arrival of baby A.

On this particular Sunday I also had a baby shower at church. One of the gifts was this money bouquet. I had never seen one of these before and thought that it was wonderful!

There was $52 on this money bouquet!! It was a very nice baby gift!

Baby A arrives tomorrow morning! We are all excited and anxiously waiting. Today feels like it is just dragging by!!
