We Miss Baby M!

Here's a video I took back in April when Baby M was only 3 1/2 months old. He'll hardly be a baby by the time we start watching him again!

Sammi's putting in her two cents: vvb v bbvvb bvvvvcccccccccvnn mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ffg f gffgffgggffggggggb

Jack's House

Here's Sammi in all her adorable brilliant-ness. She's putting on a show for the camera and then she got very distracted so it's cut a little short. But you get the idea of the story.

Grrr the Batteries!

Rechargeable batteries are not all they are cracked up to be! I think ours must be at the end of their life because they run outta juice after one round of snapping photos! So that is the very long explanation of why there are no updated photos of Elizabeth or Sammi. So I'll just get to the information:

Monday was Elizabeth's two week check-up. She weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long. That means she's grown an inch and gained almost a pound since birth. Way to go, Elizabeth! Also at the doctor's office they did the PKU test where they prick their heel and fill all these little (or not so little) circles on a card that test for brain development and other such things. Sammi was very interested in that and "helped" the nurse as she pricked Elizabeth's heel and coaxed as much blood as she could from her little body! Elizabeth was not so interested and cried the whole time while holding on very well to her binkie! After the doctor's office she pretty much slept the rest of the day. That made grocery shopping easy. Oh that I should be so lucky everytime we go to the grocery store...

Sammi says: rrtyiooppa nvb,/ mvbv

Which means "I'll be a blogger one day , too."

Coming Home

Well, we've been home for 4 or so days now and things are starting to settle into a routine. Elizabeth is an angel at night letting me sleep for long stretches at a time. I so appreciate that! We came home from the hospital Wednesday before Brent had to get to his first day of classes for this semester. We would have been able to leave much earlier in the day, but we were waiting for the pediatrician to release Elizabeth. It was a little boring just hanging out waiting for him to get there. But after we spoke with him, we were on our way.

So far I haven't spent more than an hour or so alone with both girls. That sounds a little crazy, but it's been so nice. I'm grateful to my mom for playing with Sammi and giving her lots and lots of attention (and for getting her to take naps each day!)





My body is feeling better. I'm glad tomorrow is a holiday and we have Brent all day long. But, I think I'm ready to face the new week (although I'm still looking forward to my mom's help.) Thanks for all the encouragement and love!
