Happy 1 Month Sadie Rae

My sweet baby girl is 1 month old today.  It is just crazy how fast the time is going by.  I want her to stay little forever!  She is just too sweet.  October 9th she smiled at me for the first time and really smiled.  It wasn't gas!  I am still breastfeeding her.  She seems to like that more than the bottle right now so that is what I am continuing to do.  She has already grown out of some of her newborn outfits cause she is so long.  She loves to eat, sleep, and poop and be in her momma's arms.  Caleb adores her.  He always wants to kiss her and hold her hand.  I wish I had a camera the other night.  They both fell asleep on the way home from youth the other night and Caleb's arm was stretched over in her car seat holding her hand.  How precious!  I love both of them so much.

So cute!
We had a good day today. We made it to church as a family of four. It is a project though trying to get out of the house and time things just right with everything. But once we made it, it felt like I had accomplished something. I know it sounds funny but its the little things in life that make me happy now.

I just love both of them so much! I love Sadie being so little although it feels like she isn't staying a baby for long. She just seems to be growing up right before my eyes. Yesterday, she looked into my eyes and smiled so big at me. I was talking to her and then all of a sudden out came a smile. It melted my heart. Caleb is so much bigger now too. He talking a lot almost too much at times where he is talking back. But he loves his little sister so much. He constantly wants to hold and kiss her. I love that he loves her.

Sadie's First Bath

Just like a model

She was perfect through the whole bath and even when she got out. Never cried a bit! She loved every bit of it.

Well, I do have to admit that this time around the postpardum blues did settle in very quickly, but I do think that it had to do with the fact that so much was happening at one time. My first week home I must have cried a bilgillion times. I couldn't understand how I was going to love two kids and not just one. How was I to give Caleb attention when this little new one needed a lot of my attention too. Thankfully, Nana and Grandma were both here to help with the ease of the transition into this new life. It is still difficult though. It is so weird but you just love them both without question. I still am trying to figure out if I am going to continue nursing. I did it a little with Caleb but I got really frustrated and decided that I could enjoy him more as a baby being fed the bottle. With Sadie, she has been a lot easier to nurse. She gets it and I seem to get it more, but I am just afraid of not giving Caleb the attention he needs and so that is my problem now. For now I am going to continue nursing but I am not going to make myself go crazy over it. As far as the postpardum, I think with my hormones getting back to normal it will eventually go away. I didn't think it was going to be like this, but I guess that is what you get when you close on your new house the same day you have a baby added to your family.
