Here we are as a family of four. Hannah has made the 4 week mark, and she is starting to be able to hold her head up a little better. She is becoming much more alert when she is awake, and might have even smiled. I am not sure though! I have done a few adventures with just me and the girls, and both were a success. Bryan has been sick this week, so once again we are all just trying to survive! We are excited for the week when all family members feel healthy!

 That's a smile right?

Little Hannah is now a few days over 3 weeks. She is such a sweet  girl. She makes a lot of funky noises all the time, but not to much of a cryer. It has felt like a whirl wind, and we can't believe 3 weeks have already gone past. Week one was great, then i got pretty sick which made week 2 seem a little crazy, and then my mom came in to help out week 3. It was so fun to have her here. We got to do a lot of fun things, and she was so helpful.

Life with two

 

Life here with two kids has been pretty good. Bryan has the week off, and has been such a great help. He takes Madi out on adventures everyday, makes sure the house is kept up, and is just great company to have around. I am healing really fast, and feel great too which I feel so blessed about. C-section recoveries are way worse than the natural. Hannah is a sweet little baby. She doesn't cry much at all, makes the funniest/cutest faces, and is just so sweet. Madison is still taking to her well also. We are feeling very blessed in this house.

 Madison likes to hold Hannah every once in a while, and she has even enjoyed a few Dora's with her. She also started letting me do her hair a few days ago, which is fun for me. She always protested and then on Sunday she let me put it up, and has had no problem since. She looks so cute with her little pigtails!

 Here is Hannah in one of the few moments in the day she is awake.

Welcome Hannah!

Welcome Hannah Jannilyn White! She joined our family Wednesday Jan. 23rd at 9:57am. She was 7.07 pounds, and 20.5 inches long. She is such a sweetheart, and we are so excited to have her as part of our family.

 

 

 Delivery wiped her out, she has basically been asleep since her arrival.

 Madison took to Hannah really well. When she first saw her she kept going awww, awww, and then would give her a kiss. I was really happy to see her initial reaction be warm and loving. She is going to be great big sister.

 Sister snuggle time!

Family day out

Today we had a family outing to the mall where madi got to go on a train ride play at the arcade we got lunch and finally got my wedding ring sized. It was long over due!

Here is Madi ready to go!

We officially wore her out!

Mama Shower

This last weekend my friends had a mama shower for me. A group of us went and got pedicures and then had lunch. It was such a wonderful and relaxing day. I loved the idea and loved celebrating baby #2 this way!

 Here I am at 38 weeks!

A little more birthday love

On Sunday, which was Madi's real birthday we had some of our good friends come over, and Madi got to be sung to one more time.

 Once she went to bed we played some serious Joker. The competition was tight and each team came out winning 2 games each.

 Last Monday was Madi and Claire's last day together too, what sweet friends!

Madison turns 2

Last Sunday Madison officially turned 2. I don't know where the time went! We had a little party for her with her friends. We did her favorite things. She loves pizza and birthday cake, so that was the menu. We sang her favorite songs, played ring around the rosies, played freeze dance, opened presents, and winded the night down watching a Dora with her friends.  Madi is a lot of fun these days. She loves to color, sing, dance, play at the park, go on adventures, take care of her baby dolls and be with her friends. She can talk well. We had her Dr. appt. and she is 25.5 pounds (31%) and 3 feet tall (91%). We love her so much!
