2 weeks old

Sydney will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. It's crazy how fast time fly's by. We love our new little addition to our family. So far Sydney is a champion sleeper and so snuggley. She eats really well and poops all the time. I forgot how many diapers you go through with newborns. I quit counting the number of times I would just finish changing her diaper when another explosion erupts!
We love our girls so much! Skye loves her little sister too. She loves to give her kisses and loves holding her. Whenever Sydney fusses she's always the first to tell me that Sydney needs milk.
Eric was able to spend the first week home with us and then the girls and I spent this last week at my parents house which was relaxing and a good change of scenery. This next week it's just me and the girls so hopefully it goes ok. Enjoy all the new pics of our angels.

She's here and beautiful!

I was completely surprised at 10:00pm Sunday night, on my due date when I felt a pop and realized that my water had broken. We took Skye over to Felicity and Rob's and headed for the hospital. My mom made it just in time after driving through the night from Santa Maria. Mom your awesome! She was born at 5:40am the next morning and I only pushed for 15min. She literally popped out! What a blessing it is to welcome another little angel from heaven into our family. She is so calm and hardly cries. She latched right on and is nursing so well. So far she is a champion sleeper. The pediatrician did feel a popping in her left hip so for the next 2 weeks until we follow up with the orthopedic doc she has to wear a brace. When we brought her home Skye was so excited to see her. She wanted to hold her right away and even helped me change her diaper. Enjoy our new bundle of joy!
