Easter Festivities

On Saturday we started off our easter festivities. We had an Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Karen's where they not only got a ton of candy - they got to meet the Easter Bunny! AKA: Uncle Trev!

I think Tate now thinks he is the Easter Bunny!

Then we went on another fun and exciting hunt at Grammy's house. Livvy was so excited about each egg she found, while Tate RAN from egg to egg, gathering as many as possible. We divided them up in the end because He ended up with way more than half. I guess he's competitive when it comes to getting candy!

Who's Who?

Do they look alike?



They look similar to me, but are night and day from each other when it comes to their little personalities. Tate had his eyes wide open from day one... I can hardly wake this little angel up!
I LOVE being a mom of two.

More pics

Just a few more...

My little jaundice girl, it just keeps going up.

She is so sweet. 
Now I just need her to learn to go to bed before 1 A.M.
I bug her and take pictures to try and keep her awake more during the day.

Love her

I've been home for 2 nights now and things are great.
The unknown of how the nights will go always makes me a little apprehensive. She is an angel during the day, so I was worried she would be up all night. The first night she was. She was good - just up! Last night started off rough. I had Cole try to give her a bottle at 10:00, she wouldn't take it and so I fed her. Cole held her out in our family room and I went to sleep. Then around 11:30 or 12:00 I heard her start screaming. He got her to calm down and then she started up again. He brought her into me and we both felt so bad for her. She had such bad gas bubbles and was obviously in a lot of pain. It's so sad to watch such a small baby in pain. She calmed eventually calmed down and slept great.
Thanks everyone for all of your love and support. I appreciate all of your help more than you know. She's our little angel thats for sure.

First day home

We came home today, and it's always such a nice feeling. Although I can't complain about staying in the hospital, I love it!
My Dr. said he thinks I set a record for how fast she came... I was at a 3 for 6 hours, and went to a 10 in 30 min. and she was here with maybe two pushes. Luckily the Dr. was in the hospital already.
She is a sweetheart.

Baby Ella is here!

Everything went great. Labor was long and quick... Baby El was 6 lbs 13 ounces, and 17 in long. She is a pretty small little girl(Read that any way you'd like). So far she is the complete opposite of Tate, she sleeps all the time (Hurray!!!) and never opens her eyes. Its to early to tell who she looks like. She's still a little swollen and puffy. She is a sweet heart and we love her tons. Tate is real soft with her but I don't think he really gets it yet. He'll be a real good big brother. Thanks to everyone that supports us.

Im not sure what pictures Jessie would want me to post here so here are a few. Im sure you'll get more shortly

(Sorry about the picture size Google is down right now)
