Two Weeks

It's been exactly two weeks since our little family of four became a family of five, and we welcomed our dear Annabelle Elizabeth into the world at 8:06a.m., weighing a whopping 8lb 6oz.

We had to wake up bright and early on Dec. 29th to go in for our planned c-section. Here is Lucas getting prepped and ready to meet his baby girl!

Lucas thought it'd be funny if I gave the sign for number 3. I was too tired to disagree.

It's amazing how in an instant, a baby can be brought into your life and you wonder how you ever lived without them?

I loved that one of the nurses stamped Annabelle's footprints on Lucas' scrubs. Because this girl is definitely stamped on his heart.

I'm thankful both my mom and Lucas' parents were able to be there for Annabelle's birthday. What a great day it was to share with family.

It was love at first site for this big brother and big sister.

The first expression from M was to head straight toward Annabelle with her arms out saying, "Me hold her..."

And N's smile was huge the minute he realized he could hold Annabelle all.by.himself.

Going home.

Since being home we've been blessed with meals from friends and just taking it easy as we figure out life with three children under the age of four. It'll be somewhat of a challenge, but we're loving every minute of it (unless you count her fussy hour starting at 10p.m.).
