Emy Newborn Pictures and update!

Oh sweet Emersyn, you are such a sweet and calm baby! You have made transitioning into a family of 5 really easy for now. You can sleep through the craziness of your siblings. Your siblings are absolutely in love with you and they want to hold you, hug you, and kiss you all the time! :) Sometimes they want to touch you too much that daddy and I have to tell them to leave you alone. But we do say it's better that they love you too much than don't like you at all! :) 

We have pretty much stuck to our typical schedule for our family. We went to your sister's tball game the day after we left the hospital. We thought it was important to just stick with a routine and do our best to keep life normal. I think this has helped us adjust. Keeping to a normal routine also means putting our family first. We have lots of family visiting, and for your first few weeks I felt like we kept "brushing them off" -but we were just making sure all of you kiddos were sticking to a routine with bed and life - and hanging out with everyone everyday is definitely not our typical routine! :) 

I just feel as if life is going great. Daddy has been home which has helped with the transition as well. I'm not sure how long this will last, or if it's just a happy high right now -but hopefully things will continue to go this well! Looking back on the previous postpartum time frames this one is very different. With Eliana I cried a lot. But my belief was if I felt I needed to cry, I would cry. For example, I cried over brownies, because they were so good! :) With Easton, looking back I think I was in a bit of a sorrow time. I didn't realize it at the time - but I think with all of the clubfeet and lack of sleep, and the terrible latch which hurt A LOT - it really took a toll on me. When I think back to the time after Easton was born I just think "painfully exhausted". And right now life has been really good. The pain has been tolerable, the sleep hasn't been bad, you're a great nurser, and really life is just good. I don't know if when I look back in a year if I'll think differently -but for now life is good. 

We had some friends take some photos of our family for your newborn pictures! They turned out great! Here they are! 

Love you so much sweet girl!

Meeting Emersyn

Miss Emersyn you are so loved!! SOOOO many people have wanted to meet you!! 

Of course your brother came to meet you and he LOVES you! Seriously, he is obsessed with you. He calls you Pickle Sarah still. When you're crying he comes running telling us that Pickle Sarah is crying!! Or he comes and says, "it's okay, it's okay" or "Calm Down Pickle Sarah, calm down" -- which is he tends to say this when you're eating and not even crying!! :) 

This right here is the very best big sister ever!! She wants to hold you all the time! She wants to love on you! Every time I change your diaper she is right there, she gets the diaper and wipes and sits right beside you to talk to you while I change you! That is some love right there!!! 

Your cousin Ellie meeting you for the first time! She is obsessed with you! :) Whenever we are together she has to hold you and love on you!! :) She'll be a great big sister when your cousin Evan is born in August!
