Sleepy Head

I am convinced that Seth can sleep through almost anything after a long sleepless night at the hospital. We had determined that we had learned our lesson after the first sleepless night with Hannah that when we had another we would end them to the nursery for the night so we could be alert and rested the next day. Well it didn't quite work out that way because I just wanted to keep Gabbie by my side the entire time. She already has my heart. So we were all pretty exhausted by 3:00 am so Seth finally said, "Lexy, we are so tires and all the nurses in the nursery are fresh and rested. Don't you think that they can take care of her better than we could seeing how tired we are." It was also a relief that Seth business partner Eric's momma Ginger was our nurse so she kept a special look out for our new little one. I am so grateful for her! So I was able to get a few hours of sleep. Seth on the other had got a lot more! He slept from around 3:30am to 10:30am. When he woke up i asked him if he heard what Doc Z had said when he came in and if he woke up when the nurses took out my catheter and his mom came and two more doctors checking in. Um yeah he slept through it all! :) Sweet boy!

Sleeping babies are so sweet!

Gabbie and Daddy sleeping away!

Really? Look how comfie cozy he looks :)

Pea

Our little Gabbie is so much fun! We have a bunch of little nick names for her, but one she has received lately is "the princess and the pea" She is such a picky little sleeper. She tosses and turns and grunts and groans the minute we lay her in her bed. Then immediately quiets down the moment she is in our arms or taking a nap on our bed. Silly little girl. Also at first she love to be swaddled. That lasted all of about 1 week. So I caught this great picture of her looking like a little pea pod! So sweet.

Dr. Z

We went to have my staples removed today! Yippy!! I always feel so much better once they are out. We love our OB/GYN, Doctor Zarlengo. We just call him "Z" he is amazing. I have a picture of Hannah with Z so I thought it only fitting to get one with baby Gabbie.

I should mention that Z is pee your pants funny. He makes pregnancy and the c-section really easy and enjoyable. He is really calm and always has something witty to say! Some friends recommended him to us and now we are hooked. if we feel that we are going to have another baby he will be or Doctor we just love him! Thanks Z!

Danger or Fun

I bought Hannah some roller blades for her birthday. Mostly because she begged and begged for them. Seth said it was a terrible idea. I kept telling him that it would be alright. Well it turns out he was right. Hannah is not quite ready for the skating. She wiped out as soon as she stood up. Needless to say the rollerblades went back in the box and are now waiting in the top of a closet. Seth 1 Lexy 0

Gabbie's Newborn pics

When Gabbie was 4 days old, some friends Jace and Jody Martin (jacemartinphotography.com) came over to take some newborn pictures. I think they did such a wonderful job. Thanks so much to them. They are very talented and it was nice to not have to take Gabbie out to have the pictures done.

we have a litte feet picture for Hannah at this age too:)

Tired

After we got home from the hospital Hannah zonked out on the couch at about 5:00pm, from a busy day and could not be woken up even for dinner. Although she did wake up at about 2:30am and asked for some buttered bread and some princess fruit snacks. Gotta love that girl!

To Hannah, Love Gabbie

We wanted to make sure that Hannah felt special when Gabbie was born. I had heard how the older sibling usually brings a gift for the new baby and how sometimes it is hard to give the gift up and it makes the older child feel like the baby is more important or special so Baby Gabbie gave Hannah a new special baby. Can you just feel the excitement:) Hannah was so happy! What a special day!

PRICELESS!
