For My Momma

So I totally thought that once I set this blog up, I would never update it except when under extreme pressure.  But here I am finding so many things I keep telling people about and finally am getting around to showing.

Ever since we moved to our new home almost a year ago, we have loved how beautiful Maryland.  Even the brown of winter wasn’t as dreary or windy as New Jersey.  So when my mom came to visit when Sabrina was born, she gave me the motivation to finally take pictures of some of our beautiful scenery on our main roads right here.  Enjoy our heaven!

  

 

Also here are some photos of Sabrina chubbing up a little bit.  She is by far our most petite baby, but still long in comparison to other babies.

Isn’t she sweet (ignoring the mohawk of course!).  I swear I see Matthew’s brother Stephen in her.  When will one of my children come out looking like me!?!   

Itty Bitty Sabrina

I know we’ve already sent pictures to most of our friends and relatives, but what better time to finally succumb to the “you’ve got to start a blog” pressure than a new start with a new little one. 

We started calling our new little baby "Itty Bitty” right away because she was so much smaller than we remember babies coming out…and she has stayed tiny. 

She’s also the best sleeper we’ve ever had and we finally have a baby that follows all of the descriptions of newborns in all of those books I was ready to toss after my first colicky child. (There were a lot of books!) She sleeps a ton, soothes easily, eats only when she’s hungry, and actually had a distinct 3 week fussy week that you read about, but I was never able to distinguish in my other babies.  Now at almost four weeks, I’m counting my blessings that I’ve been able to enjoy this newborn phase instead of pseudo existing in a delirious state of exhaustion.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m still tired.  But at least I am cognizant of the world around me.

Here’s a video of Syd & Chlo meeting her for the first time.
