First week at home...

We have made it through our first full week at home with 3 kids. It's been a great week! Amazingly enough, I cannot complain too much about lack of sleep as Sam has only been waking up once in the night. Of course, some nights have been longer than others but for the most part, I can nurse him and he goes right back to sleep! Logan and Addie are doing good. Logan wants to hold Sam all the time and Addie is always wanting to hug and kiss him and says "I love Baby Sam" all the time. All three of them are just so sweet! Here are some pictures from our first week at home.


This is one of my favorites! Logan loves to read and he is excited to read to Baby Sam as he has figured out he is a great listener. Here he is reading "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish".

He's Here!

Sam Cooper arrived Friday morning at 10:36. He weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 21 inches long. Logan and Addie are SO PROUD and are great with him! We are all home and doing good! I just wanted to post some quick pictures of our new blessing...

First night at home with big brother...
Sam with his buddy "Cooper" who was born on the same day. Nana and Pop took Logan and Addie to Build A Bear on Friday and they made this for Sam. It is even sweeter when you squeeze his arm and hear Logan and Addie say together, "We love you Baby Sam!"

Playing Dress Up...

It's always fun to play dress up but it's even more fun when Logan and Addie play dress up together. You see, she was the princess and he was King Spiderman who had to save The 12 Dancing Princesses.





I guess King Spiderman lost interest in the dancing princesses. Suddenly, Addie was running through the house while screaming and crying and I could not imagine what was the matter until I saw this...Spiderman as George Bush??

One week to go...

but who's counting anyways??

We are ready for Baby Sam! We are all excited but all a little anxious. Addie has been carrying a baby around non-stop these days. She is going to be a great help, or so I hope. I gave her a snack the other day and walked back into the kitchen to find Baby Katie in the high chair, sharing a snack with Addie. It was just too sweet! Logan is so sweet too. I told him that next Friday he would get to meet Baby Sam and he got a priceless look on his face and said, "Oh no...he is going to be so small. I am going to have to work really hard to make sure he is safe and happy. He better not hurt you mommy!" Seriously, he seems to be very worried about me. I think it is very sweet but I don't want him to worry about that! I just keep assuring him we will all be fine! Oh how I love my Logan!

We do have a scheduled c-section for next Friday, March 20 but he could come SOONER and that would be just fine with me. I went to the doctor again today and things are moving along but moving along SLOWLY so I have a feeling we will last another week. I can't wait to post pictures of our sweet boy! I have lots of other things to post as well. I need to play blog catch up before Sam gets here or I know I will never get caught up! Oh well...I'm sure that will be the story of our life for a while!
