How the time does fly. I can't believe the smallest one is now one month old. And almost 11 pounds, and just shy of 23 inches. Officially growing like a weed. I am trying hard to enjoy every moment, since I know it really does go by in the blink of an eye. Hoping for more smiles and coos tomorrow. :)
It was a quick reign for Samantha as baby of the Kamman family. Her cousin Charlotte took over as baby of the family on Mother's Day. They met tonight, and as you can see from the photos, Charlotte is a normal 8 lb baby versus her cousin the giant 10 lb baby (and probably rapidly approaching 11 lbs at the moment.)
Just a quick snapshot of the new wee one....she is already 10 lbs 2 oz at under three weeks and just like her big sister, very strong and trying to hold up her head.
It has taken a week, but just in case, we welcomed Samantha Clare on Saturday, April 18th at 2:47 pm. She decided to pick her own birthday, we got to the hospital about 10am, the epidural worked this time (hurrah!!!), and other than her unexpected large size (9 lbs 13 oz - they even re-zeroed the scale and re-weighed her) Mama and Baby did just fine. Better birthing through chemistry.
Erin ADORES her baby sister and will sit and hold her for 30-45 minutes at a time, and only gets mad when she CAN'T hold her-- how sweet is that?! And to hear her say "I love Samantha Clare" will melt your heart.
More later....
So, the pups got a haircut-- and she is now half the size she was pre-haircut-- it is very funny!
See, even her collar is suddenly too big!!!!! Silly pups.
My camera is being sent in for repairs. They think it should still be covered under warranty from the LAST repair (at Christmas). Great timing, dontcha think? So I am seriously contemplating the need to invest in a new camera. Any thoughts on a Nikon D90??
And a couple of shots of the awesome tree Aunt Sarah painted in Erin's "big girl room"--- complete with red and blue birds requested by Erin. (She then went on to request a yellow, orange, green, purple, and other birds, and we have some ideas for those to come later.....)
Still, it's been a pretty good day-- camera sent off to repairland, puppy sheared, got to do a little shopping with mom (and visit my friend Itzel's store and pick up some baby goodies), eat lunch out with "meems" and the beebs, and updated the blog. Now I just need to motivate for some laundry, and go out get my preggo approved cough meds.
Wishing you a very merry St. Patty's Day!
and, in case you are wondering, 30 days and counting til Critter 2.0!
I know it's bad when even DH asks if I have abandoned my blog...
So here is just a little something....
Another snowy morning....I think rain and 60 in California is actually starting to sound desirable after all of this snow and cold....
Wanted to post some photos of 2 upcoming classes (samples are in the store.)
First up, Cupcake Party....some fun little details here, perfect for birthdays or any other party (nothing actually says Birthday in the book), or maybe just someone who adores cupcakes (and really, who doesn't??!?!) (Class is on February 4th)
The next one is a travel journal (you know how I love the travel books). This one is perfect for any vacation, anywhere-- spots to journal during or after your trip, and lots of places and ways to add photos. (Class is on March 2nd).
As I am looking through the photos, they are awfully dark and don't really do justice to the book. You miss the detail of all the tabs, tags, and pockets. Also, where you see a lot of reflection-- those are photo sleeves. So stop by the store to take a peek at this one!
