HECTIC TIMES/MANY BLESSINGS!

Emma and I only had to stay at the hospital for 24 hours. The nurses and doctors said that I was healing really well and really fast. When you have an 18 month old at home, rest after birth doesn’t exist. We jumped right back into the regular routine. Cleaning, cooking, bath time, diaper changes X2, feedings X2, laundry X2, late nights and early mornings. Of course the two kids are on totally different schedules so it’s safe to say I don’t do a whole lot of sleeping. Luckily Adam gets an entire month off of work so he has been a huge help. Just when we thought we couldn’t get busier we were thrown a curve ball/blessing. We were planning to close on our new house May 19th. We hadn’t found a renter for our current home and were praying daily that we would. I got home with Emma on Monday afternoon and on Thursday we got a call from a woman saying she was very interested in renting out our home and wanted to come by Friday and sign the contract. Friday came and she showed up with a check and signed the contract. The catch was she needed to move in that Monday. So all day and night Saturday and Sunday we packed and packed as fast as we could. We moved all of our stuff into my in-laws garage and are staying with them for a couple weeks. We got our closing date moved up to May 15th so we are really excited to start that new chapter in our lives. We will keep you updated!

What a beautiful baby girl!!! I've got to bookmark your blog so I can check her out more often. I'm so glad she arrived safely and your little family is doing so well.

Unbelievable. How gorgeous your baby is. She's seriously one of the prettiest baby girls I've ever seen. Usually newborns just aren't that pretty. I can't believe you had a baby and then had to pack up and move. We're moving this week too and it makes my head want to explode thinking about doing it with no sleep and a newborn! good luck--can't wait to hear how it all went!
