The Newest Addition



Meet Samantha Marie


Here she is at 3 weeks.

She weighed 7lbs 6oz and measured 18-3/4 inches at birth. It's quite a story, but one that will have to wait for another time. I can't count how many times people told me that going from 3 to 4 kids is way easier than going from 2 to 3. I beg to differ. It's been a big adjustment and I am only now starting to figure out how to keep up with 4 kids and laundry and dishes and cleaning and showering (myself and the kiddos) and feeding everyone 3 times a day, etc. As you can imagine, blogging is not exactly on the top of my to-do list. I'll get to it when I can. But in the mean time, don't expect much.

shes soooo cute! She looks alot like Ellie. I hope that things get better here soon and everything falls into a good routine for you. I know you can do it though, your a GREAT mother! oh and P.S. I may want to borrow that dress when I have my little girl someday.

Awwww precious! We don't blame you for not blogging! I can't imagine 4 kids right now. 2 is time consuming enough! (Showers are overrated by the way, so don't feel you need to take one all the time. Instead of showering, take a nap!)

Hugs!

congrats, Laura!! She is beautiful! But I knew she would be, you seem to have a knack for having cute little girls. :) I hope you are recovering well and enjoying everything a new one brings...even the crazy parts. loves...

Awww! See it wasn't too hard! I think the first 2 months are the hardest just due to the lack of sleep :) and now that I know about the "recovery" I may say that it isn't so easy for ladies doing it naturally :)
But I am SO happy you posted and shared Samantha with us!

Yay I have been so anxious to see a picture of her. She is beautiful and looks to me a lot like Ellie. I totally understand though of not getting to the blog, and i am just at 3. Just having a newborn again is a huge time consuming adjustment. It is finally getting a little easier now that Ella is 2 months old, so I hope it gets easier for you. If you ever need to talk(when I know) just call or give text.

I feel your pain! It will get better. In the meantime, take my advice and don't wish it away. Wallow in it and soak it for all it's worth! We'll have this conversation again in 20 years...
