2 Week Checkup!

Sadie had her two week check up on May 23.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz & was 19 1/2 inches long!  She had grown so much in just those two weeks!  Doc said she looked great & everything was good.  We go back at two months for shots!

Mother's Day

Since we had just gotten home from the hospital, we didn't do much. We stayed around the house for the most part.  Brandi cooked supper for me, mom & granny, so we went to her house to eat. I made a devil's food cake with homemade fluffy white icing to take.  We had a great day doing nothing!

She's Here!!

Tuesday, May 8 was the day for my scheduled section.  We got to the hospital at 5:00 that morning.  The section was scheduled for 8.  Well 8:00 came & the doctor came by.  It was gonna be a little longer. They had one lady about to deliver & one lady that needed an emergency section.  It was all good though.  Since I was in no pain, I was really in no hurry.  The nurses came & got me about 10:15 or so & took me to the OR.  Miss Sadie Grace was born at 10:35 am.  She is beautiful!  Looks just like Natalee did!  Terry and the nurse took her up to the nursery & got her weighed & measured.  She was 6 lbs. 14 oz & 18 in. long.  She was a whole pound plus some bigger than Natalee & a half an inch shorter!  I don't have the pics the hospital took on my computer, but once I get them loaded on a computer, I will load them on here. 

I went on to recovery for about 30 minutes then the nurses took me to the nursery to see Sadie, then on to a room.  Sadie did not get to come to my room for almost 6 hours, so I didn't get to hold her until about 4:30/5:00.  That night mom, granny and Brandi brought Natalee back up to the hospital to see her little sister.  She was so excited.  She was on of the first to hold her & she got mad when everyone else wanted to hold her.  She didn't want to share her sister!  Delma & Roger also came to see their new grandbaby that night.

The next day, we had a few visitors come by.  Terry's Aunt Theresa & Uncle Tim, Aunt Verita & Uncle Allen & his cousin Angela came by.  Luckily, Sadie had just come back from the nursery when they came by.  That night, daddy & Irene came back.

Thursday, May 10, we got to come home! We left the hospital around 11:30, took my prescription by the pharmacy, made a stop by Sonic (momma was hungry!) then headed home.

Getting ready to head home!

April

On April 14, Brandi hosted a baby shower for us. It was actually a diapers & wipes shower since this was our second girl & we still had everything from Natalee. Not many people showed up but it was all good.  She served sausage balls, pizza dip, sandwiches, cake batter dip, cupcakes & punch.

Food!

April 21, the Walker's had their annual crawfish boil.  We got there about 3.  Terry helped Michael & the rest of the guys cook & I sat back & waited on the other women to get there!  They had 150 lbs. of crawfish! Along with the crawfish, they cooked corn, potatoes, mushrooms & sausage in the crab boil.  Terry & I do not eat crawfish, but the corn, potatoes & sausage were soooo good!  I had been craving the corn & potatoes for a while, so that settled my craving...for a couple of weeks anyway! Sorry, I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics!

The rest of the month I was getting everything ready for baby. Natalee decided she wanted her bumbo back...

Here is the hairbow holder I made:

She has more bows than this, they just weren't on here when I took the pic!

Below are pictures of Sadie Grace's nursery. For some reason I don't have a picture of the crib though!

Easter

The weekend before Easter, we went to Stewart to celebrate the holiday with the Mitchell's. We went to church & ate afterwards. We then headed to their house. We relaxed & visited for a little while. Roger & Terry hid eggs for Natalee. She had so much fun!

Our Pretty Girl!

Huntin' Eggs

Saturday before Easter, we went to mom's to dye eggs. The Clark's decided to come over and dye eggs with us. Natalee loved to dye eggs! But she wanted to drop the egg in the dye then pick it right back up! We had some really pretty eggs.

The next morning, we got up to see what the Easter Bunny brought.  Natalee was so excited!

The Easter Bunny came!

We then got up and got dressed for the day.  We went to mom's around lunch to finish getting supper started.  About 2, mom, Natalee & I headed to Randy & Dianna's so Natalee could hunt eggs with a big group of kids. There was about 5-6 kids this year, unlike last year where there were about 10-12. Natalee found about 25 eggs, 3 of which contained money! They hand out gifts to all the kids that participated.  Natalee got a thing of bubbles & a bug catching kit.

Getting ready to go!

Finding Eggs

Again

After we left the Clark's we went back to mom's.  We waited on everyone to get there then we ate supper, which consisted of ham, sweet potatoes, green beans & rolls, plus dessert.  After supper, we hid eggs for Natalee & Katie Lauren.  Natalee got the Queen Egg.  It had $4.50 in quarters.  She sure did rack up on the money!

Before supper, Terry rode Natalee on the go-kart. It was her first time to ride and she loved it! In fact, she loved it so much that she got mad when anyone else got on & didn't take her riding! I didn't get any pictures then, but I did manage to get a few of her riding with Uncle Dustin.

March

Not much went on during the month of March, but here are some pics to enjoy!

This turtle showed up at the house.  The dog kept barking & barking & come to find out this is what she was barking at.  This was just the first of three Alligator Snapping Turtles that has shown up!

Children's Museum

I started this post a while ago, but I am just now getting a chance to finish it.  I decided to just do a short explanation & pictures instead of doing a really long post about each thing we did.

Terry & I took Natalee to the Mississippi Children's Museum a couple of weeks ago.  It was a first for all of us & it was so much fun!  Definitely worth the $8 a piece to get in!  They have so much stuff for the kids to do!  They have five basic themes that provide the content base for the museum exhibits: Mississippi Heritage in the Exploring Mississippi Gallery, Literacy in the Wild About Reading Gallery, Health & Nutrition in the Healthy Fun Gallery, The Arts in the Express Yourself Gallery, and Mississippi Industry in the World At Work Gallery.

After the MCM, we decided to treat Natalee to a Gigi's cupcake.  OMG!  They are to die for!

This is the Birthday Surprise.  Delish!

Afterwards, we went by Babies R Us to pick up a few things for the baby.  On the way out, we stopped by Applebee's in Madison, then headed home.  Except for the rain, all in all, it was a wonderful day!
