Siena May

Going in to be induced...

Siena was born at 6:30 pm December 22nd. She weighed 7lbs and was 18in long. (Tiny little thing)

She came with a thick head of hair just like her sister.

We were so lucky to have my mom here to be with Evalyn. They had so much fun together, dancing, singing, and playing with new toys from her Grandma.  Evalyn misses her greatly!

Siena with her big sister on Christmas morning!

We feel so very blessed to have her here, and I am loving every day with my two little girls!

...Still Waiting...

So, my due date is here and ... no baby yet. I thought this sort of thing didnt happen with your second. Honestly I really wasnt ready until today anyway so maybe it will happen in the next few hours. :)
What do you do when you are waiting around for a new arrival you ask? Well, you clean, clean and clean some more, paint the girls' room (should have been done already), sew Christmas gifts such as rice hot/cold packs, headbands ,and a car seat cover. All in one day. (yesterday) The projects I found are actually pretty fun. Check my other blog http://hobbylane.blogspot.com/  for some fun last minute Christmas gift ideas :) Hopefully the next post you see here will be pictures of our little one.

Fun in the Snow!!!

There is NOTHING like sitting in a warm home with Christmas music playing in the background while watching the snow falling outside your window. The only thing better is taking your little one out for her first time playing in the snow!

These were purchased at KINGS today so we could go outside. They are rolled twice on the legs, and knotted in the suspenders so they will stay on Evie. (yes, they are a 2T:)

Layer, upon layer....

Until she cannot move. (I remember this feeling vividly as a child)

...and so worth it! We had a blast today:)

And with more coming tomorrow, I am sure we will be out again.

Nesting?

Nesting as defined on wikipedia:
"In human females, the nesting instinct often occurs around the fifth month of pregnancy, but can occur as late as the eighth, or not at all. It may be strongest just before the onset of labor.
It is commonly characterized by a strong urge to clean and organize one's home..."


Two questions:
 Does cleaning window tracks with a q-tip count as nesting? And if so, since I am not in my fifth month of pregnancy does this mean labor is right around the corner? All I know is No one around here is complaining.
