My Three Sweeties & Visitors

Clara wants to hold Emma every morning as soon as she wakes up. :)

They were so excited to "help" with Emma's bath.

They are both so sweet and gentle with her.

first time in the swing ~ 6 days old



Clara and her dollies.  When Clara got a doll for Christmas a year and a half ago, she said, "but I wanted a real baby." ;)  Well, now she has one!  Emma is one week old here. 




Davey is a fantastic big brother!  He laughs at everything Emma does.  I'm guessing no one will be able to make Emma laugh like Davey will in a few months from now. :)



my three little loves

The Goebels came to meet Emma! :)

Clara wants Emma to lay with her each night before bed.  She can't wait till they can share a room.


Jessie & Miriam brought yummy food and came to visit.  




There's nothing better than a tiny baby asleep on your chest.

Abigail and kids came to meet Emma and also brought food!  Friends bringing food is seriously the best!  Such a blessing when all I want to do is snuggle my newborn.

Natalie loves her new friend!

Grandma Ann stopped by for cuddles and brought us groceries!  So thoughtful of her!  Thanks again, Mom!


Our first time using our Pavo Swallowtail wrap!  We love it!

First Few Days Home

Our first few days home from the hospital were heavenly!  First of all, it felt incredible to sleep in my own bed!  And we were all just so in love with our new baby girl.  Michael took a week off work and it was so wonderful just to be together as a family.  I savored every moment of newborn snuggles and Michael was there to take the "big" kids outside to play.  It was bliss.

first morning home :)

Davey brought out Clara's dolly and kept saying, "Who's the real Emma?" haha


Clara couldn't get enough of her baby sister.


newborn baby snuggle heaven

my heart is so full


Oh, she is yummy!


first tub bath ~ 3 days old



those eyes... <3


Emma and me in our favorite spot.  I always wanted a rocking recliner with my first two babes and we finally got one a week before Emma was born.  It's love.

Clara is such a little mommy, so helpful and sweet.


Grandma, Grandpa & Emily came to meet Emma the Friday after she was born. :)  Four days old!



She is such a smiley sleeper! <3




THREE grandbabies!
