Baby Pics

Some random pictures of the girls. Cora is only about one week old here. 

She pretty much already filled the bassinet! 

Proud big sisters!

Ava finally gets to meet her baby sister!  She is so excited to hold her, Grandma "Me You" helps her.

All our girls:

Livi + Ava are SO helpful with the baby, their favorite chore is throwing the dirty diapers away!  Livi inspects Grandma's diapering job:

Bath time!  Just sponge baths for now, but I do have to wash that hair often...mostly because I douse her in milk during feeding time:

A Baby Story

The birth was pretty easy, probably the easiest of the three.  The hospital + staff was great!  Fantastic epidural!!  And easy recovery.  Breastfeeding seems to be a different story...how could I forget after 2 times already??  Anyway, it's getting better.  Here are some pics from hospital.  This is my doctor: 

Cora sleeps alot!...3 to 4 hour stretches already!  Great, but doesn't help with the feeding if you know what I mean.  She sleeps with her mouth open alot too:

We had several visitors, which was nice to pass the time.  Big sis, Liv, got to visit the next day.  Unfortunately Ava didn't get to come to the hospital; the hospital was about 30 miles from home and didn't work with school schedule.  But Daddy went home each night with new pictures for her.  Livi was hilarious; just all smiles, and super excited:

Granny helped her hold her sister, something she loves to do!

Granny gets to hold baby Cora too:

Summer Vacation Part 5

We visited the Children's Museum in Indianapolis with MeYou and Lisa + Colton; it was a lot of fun!!  We went mainly for the Barbie exhibit, but got to see lots of other cool stuff too, like dinosaurs, trains and the interactive glass sculpture.

Summer Vacation Part 4

My BFF Whitney and her little girl, Quinn, stopped by to say hi too!  Quinn got to swim a little with Grandma Rosie and the girls, then we enjoyed a nice outdoor dinner by the pool, Quinn had her first Popsicle (I think) and some more fun.  It was so good to see them!!

Quinn was a little ham... saying "cheese"!

This is a little dark, but can you see Quinn puckering up for the good by kiss??  Super cute!

Summer Vacation Part 3

The girls had fun swimming with Grandpa too!

Grandpa had some cool fish that swam around the pool.

Livi liked helping Grandma with chores - checking the pool, feeding the cat & dogs, etc.

Some painting in the evenings.
