Bath Time With Blake

Here is a video of Blake having a bath :)

One Month Old

Tomorrow is December 13th, Blake is one month old!  Here are a few new pictures.  I'm learning to use Nick's camera, so fun!!  We had professional pictures taken this past Sunday, I'm excited to see them! They will be posted to a website so I'll make sure and let everyone know what it is









This is what a tired baby looks like :(

 

.  

Motherhood is pretty much what I expected, okay, maybe a little harder at some points.  Blake kinda goes back and forth with sleeping, one night she will do great, then the next will be sleepless.  Nick was out of town twice recently so I braved it alone....we did okay, but we were definately glad Nick came back!!  This probablly sounds ridiculous, but I didn't know babies cried so much ?!?  It's soooo hard to hear your child cry, I didn't know I could feel so worried and heart broken just at hearing her cry.  I know I can't hold her every minute, so I try to find a balance....Lord help me :)  Motherhood comes with so many things you can doubt yourself on. 
 I'm hoping I'm not the only one to have these emotions. 

I must say I miss my family more now that Blake is here.  I wish they could see her more often and see how fast she is changing.  I'm so glad we will be spending a week at home on Christmas so everyone can see her again.  She is so lucky to have three sets of Grandparents that love her.  
My friend Jennie is expecting her little one any day now, I can't wait!  
I'm so excited to have such a goodfriend close by that will be experiencing the same thing, 
and Blake will have a new friend :) 

I can't help myself!

I'm so in love with this little girl! Here are some more pictures.....



One of her first baths....





Baby's First Thanksgiving, we celebrated with my Mom and brother.  



She LOVES laying on her changing table (way more than the crib).


Relaxed after bath time.





Daddy's Hands.

Hanging Around

Here are a few more pictures of Blake .........this is our first week home alone together and we are both adjusting :)

SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blake was born November 13th at 12:58 pm.  8 lb 5 oz. 21 inches long!!

We are more in love than we ever thought possible....we can barely take our eyes off of her.  

Here are a few pictures, I'll write more when things slow down a bit :) (they will, right?!?!?!?)

The waiting game

Another doctor's appointment today, and no change happened this week.  Last week kinda got our hopes up thinking maybe I would be progressing, but nope :(

The doc is already talking indcution dates....it all depends on what happens this next week.  I really would rather not be induced if possible.  It looks like the VERY latest we would go in would the November 26th (19 days) but I am praying she comes on her own well before that (like tonight would be good for us!)  Some other dates she mentioned were the 17th, which is our due date, or the 21st, which is the day before thanksgiving.  I got the CUTEST little thanksgiving newborn outfit, so she has to arrive before thanksgiving!  haha.

In other baby news there are three guys at Nick's company that are having kiddos, so today they had a shower for them, they had to suck cola from baby bottles, taste test baby food, and change diapers on a doll blindfolded.   hehehehe......Nick was proud he won the drinking from the bottle contest.  I WISH i had pictures to post.  
Love,
Sarah

Happy Late Halloween

Happy Halloween!
Here is a pic of Nick and I...Me a witch and Nick the all-feared toilet paper mummy.  Our tire blew out on the way to the party and Nick had to change the tire in his "costume"...there was very little left to show for the 4 rolls of toilet paper when we finally arrived.  He was a good sport though.  





This is Alexis our neice and Bax one of our dogs...the LOVE each other.  Bax is so gentle with her, lets her pull and tug and never makes a sound...I think he enjoys it!  It's nice to know that he will be gentle with Blake ;)
