Here goes...

Oh, will I ever have time to blog again??? Time will tell, but it sure is hard finding the time right now :-) I can't let another day go by though without introducing our new angel to the blog world. Miss Carter Ellen Verdigets made her big debut on March 12, 2012. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz, and was 20.5 inches long. She is healthy and perfect in every single way, and I couldn't be more smitten. She put me through a little bit of hell when labor hit me on that Sunday evening, March 11th. I was in epidural heaven within a few hours after that, and couldn't have had a better delivery. It was one of those experiences that make people keep coming back for more. I'll just have to store this one way back in the memory section of my brain ; ) Here are some pictures from Carter's big debut.


I took some pictures of the girls together on Carter's one week birthday. There are no fake smiles on Blair's face. She is really that happy to have her baby sister here with us. I think she would run away with her if I wasn't watching ;)


And here are the most recent pictures that I took on Carter's 2 week birthday (yes, I am cramming all of this into one post). Some friends gave us the little pea in the pod hat, and I am in love with it. So far she has been a little angel for all her photo shoots. I am sure it will get tougher as the sleepiness starts to wear off!


So, that is where we are as of now. Carter will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. Doesn't time fly when you are exhausted? Ha! She is eating every 3 hours during the day, and giving us 5-7 hour stretches at night. She sleeps great in her crib at night, but not so much during the day. We have jumped in head first with our Moms on Call routine, and I hope we get a little better every single day! Blair is adjusting well, and has been spoiled rotten by all of the grandparents. She has eaten her fair share of desserts, and has received enough princess gear to stock a Disney gift shop. We have been blessed to have family around the past 3 weeks, so tomorrow starts the real world for me and the girls. Blair is on spring break this week, so I'm sure it is going to be a challenge keeping her occupied. So, say some prayers this week as I try to juggle this new life of ours, and lets hope my girls treat me really nice!

I can't imagine them being anything other than angels for you this week! If we lived closer I think Cate would pay Blair to sneak her baby sister off and they'd ride into the sunset together. They're precious, Sixty! Keep those pictures coming!
