Sarah Katherine is Still being CUTE

My super sweet, super cute 3 year old is handling the big adjustments really well.  She is being a little momma for Charlotte Anne, but she does still find time in her busy day to be super cute!  These pic's are some from the past two Sunday's of her being really pumped about each outfit (all girl through and through!).  I love that the black dress picture has her ready for a party - heels, purse, necklace, keys, and her very own giant cup - wait she's not allowed at that kind of party!  Gotta watch this one. :)  She's so stinkin' cute!

Shower at Choir

 Last Wednesday our amazing friends at choir threw us a diaper, wipes, and formula shower.  It was so wonderful to see everyone!  The food was fabulous, the gifts were such a blessing, and the company was great.  Plus a great friend from choir (who is also a NICU nurse) watched the girls - you don't get a better person to keep the kiddos than that. :)  We are so humbled and thankful for all that was done for us and truly felt all the prayers for our family.  We look forward to raising our girls in our church and see them singing praises to God in their own little choirs.

 

 

Our Heroes!

Last week we went to visit the crew that responded to our 911 call back on April 5th.  These guys were so wonderful through everything, they really took great care of me!  From the time they got to the house and saw the scary sight from the hemorrhaging, to while we were riding in the ambulance, to when we got to the hospital - they were so great and calm.  It really helped to make me think maybe everything could be ok.  Once we got to the labor and delivery floor they wouldn't leave until they know Charlotte Anne was going to be fine.  We even got a follow up call from the chief to be sure things were still ok the next morning.  You just don't get that kind of treatment everywhere!  We are so blessed and thankful to live in the town we do where the people are so caring.  God bless you guys, we will be keeping touch so you see the miracle you help make happen!!!

Going to Church

This was our second Sunday to load up and head to church, but last week was too hectic to remember to take pictures.  It was so great to get back to church since I've been out since before Easter.  We took Charlotte Anne in her seat with a blanket and did our best to keep her in a protective bubble!  (We don't even get to her due date until this Friday, so we are trying to keep her fairly isolated until then.)  All went well both weeks and little miss stayed perfectly on schedule.  It was so great to get back in the swing of things and see all the people that did so much for us.  Truly the body of Christ!

 

Baby Shower for Charlotte Anne

This past Saturday some fabulous ladies threw a baby shower for Charlotte Anne.  It was so great to get together with friends and for my Aunt Kathy to come to town to meet everyone.  Thank you so much for the love shown to me and my baby girl!

Visit from Mimommy and G'daddy

Last week my parents came to visit and my mom was able to meet Charlotte Anne for the first time.  She had to have knee surgery the Wednesday before we had Charlotte Anne on Friday, so she has been recouping and was able to travel last week.  It was love at first sight for sure!  Charlotte Anne enjoyed time with her grandparents and so did SK!  We were even treated to G'daddy grilling for us one night - come back any time. :)  

Mother's Day Fun with Sarah Katherine

Through all of the excitement and focus on Charlotte Anne, Sarah Katherine has done really well.  Not only has a new baby come into the house, but mommy was gone for 3 weeks, and life is just starting to get back to "normal".  Most kids would use this opportunity to really show their hiney, but my big girl has been great.  I'm not saying she hasn't pushed the line several times, but I'm so impressed with how she got through all of this with grace.

The weekend after we got home from the hospital, I wanted to go have some special SK and mommy time.  We went to Chick-Fil-A for ice cream and then to the park to play.  This crazy kid was at the park for maybe 10 minutes and she asked to come home.  She wanted to go see her baby sister!  Who would have thought a baby sister would be more fun than the playground?!

Well, Sarah Katherine's school had a special breakfast for moms and kids to come and enjoy together.  It was so much fun to go see SK in her element with all her friends and teachers.  She is such a social butterfly!  When a friend would get to the party she would immediately ask if she could go say hi to them all.  Here is a picture of us all dressed up and ready to go to the party...
