A night of Sleep!!!!

I am so excited to say that Sadee slept from about one in the morning until seven-thirty. Six and a half hours of peaceful sleep!! I am sure this is a fluke and there will be many more sleepless nights, but I am grateful for my one night of sleep. It's a blessing in disguise, because our HOA is redoing our bay windows and the pounding of the hammer will not allow a nap today. It's driving me nuts! Oh well, I actually got some sleep, so I can be happy today.

Jayla's 2nd Birthday Party

Not sure what I was thinking that after having a baby three weeks ago, that it would be a good idea to throw Jayla a birthday party. Maybe it was the fact that my mother was going to be in town or that a birthday shouldn't go unnoticed, but afterwards I felt like I had been hit by a freight train. Guess my energy level isn't quite up to par yet. But we really had a great time with our neighbor friends and family.

The Jungle themed birthday cake! Josh did an great job making the cake, even though he burned his first batch of coconut flakes.

Blowing the party favors! Jayla thought these were so much fun. The new swimsuit is compliments of my brother and his family, J.M., April, Carter and Michael, in California. Thanks!
Blowing out the cake took Daddy and Mommy's help. She didn't understand that she had to get close to the candles.
Jayla's friends! Matias, Matthew, Tyler and Morgan! Jayla wouldn't wear her hat like the rest of them.
Sadee slept through the whole party in Grandma Karen's arms. Thank goodness!
Enjoying every bit of her cake and Ice Cream!

Here are the avid party goers. Thanks everyone for coming! We had a great day, especially enjoying the water balloons with the adults.
I wouldn't have posted this picture but as I was taking it, Tiffany, the woman on the left said "...and this will be on her blog by Monday."

A week to relax!

My mom came out last week to help with the new baby and Jayla. We had a great time with her and she is coming back on Thursday for Education week. Since Jayla has been having a hard time adjusting and well lets be honest, I am exhausted, Grandma Lou took Jayla with her to San Diego for the week. As grateful as I am to have a break, I really miss my little girl. i have called everyday checking up on her and making sure she is doing okay. Who knew it would be so hard to let your child go. Every time someone asks me how I am doing without Jayla, I want to burst into tears. Maybe its the hormones talking. I keep thinking that I am crazy for sending her off, but it is nice to just enjoy Sadee and sleep alot. On saturday, Josh and I slept in til 11:30, besides the times I woke up to feed the baby. It was really nice. Anyways!

Happily sleeping! After being well fed of course!

Just so you know! Sadee has been off the lights for a week now and is doing really good. She is a good sleeper and only wakes up in the night to eat. She also has this tendency, when you pick her up to go into this frog position. Its so funny! picture below!
