The Past Two Weeks

Baby Samantha will be two weeks tomorrow. She is a good baby and I hate to say that because I wouldn't want to jinx myself. She has done remarkable well so far. Last week was super busy with different things. She didn't mind being dragged around which will probably be a common occurrence being the third child.

The labor and delivery went well. She just about flew out with one push! I was induced a week early. Through out the entire pregnancy, I warned the doctor that she was going to be big. The doctor would ask me how big to do you think she's going to be and my answer was bigger than my first two. So, I'm glad I didn't have to wait another week.

I feel pretty good! I'm up during the night of course but I try and take a rest during quiet time each day which totally helps. Lee's mom has been here helping out with the cooking and cleaning. It has been so nice to have an extra set of hands! It was a sad sad day yesterday when she left. Tommy fell a sleep in the car and didn't officially get to say good bye, so when we got home and realized she was gone, he was pretty upset. We went strawberry picking today to cheer us up.

Kassie had her big end of the year recital that she has been working towards the entire year. It was so wonderful to see her perform and do such a fabulous job. She was able to wear makeup which was super exciting for her. I'll have to post the short video clip later.

Both the kids are "adjusting" to the new baby. I have to admit there has been a little more fighting between the two and more crying. But for the most part, they are doing fine. It's amazing what I can do with just one arm!!
