What's up here.

Mom and Dad were here and I wanted to get some pics of them. Of course once the camera came out the boys wanted in the picutre too. So we got this one. I thought it came out good.
Jared has developed this habit of wanting to eat crayons. Where do kids get this stuff?

And Sarah has developed a habit of eating, or trying to eat, anything that comes close to her mouth. Silly baby.

What a Day!

I just had a learning experience. I took three children by myself to Walmart. Am i insane? I must be since they were two toddlers and a two week old. We were there for maybe twenty minutes and they were quite a long twenty minutes. Sarah started crying so I was holding her in one hand while pushing the cart with the other hand and Jacob running everywhere. Such fun!! To top off my wonderful Saturday, Sarah decided to unload on her mother. I had to change all my clothes, ALL of them, and then take a shower while Mom gave Sarah a bath. I forgot how often newborn diapers do not hold all they're supposed to.

This is my frog princess. I can't believe how big she already after just two weeks. When I pick her up she already feels heavier. Why do they have to grow so fast?

Daddy's girl

I love the face they make when they don't want anymore food and you try to open their mouth. Sarah has the cutest kissy face.
I look at my baby girl and can't believe that she is already a week old. At the same time, if I was still pregnant, this week would have crept by. I am so glad I can now hold her in my arms.
Whitney came home from work, picked up Sarah when she was sleeping, and proceeded to cuddle with her for the next three hours. He did it again the other day when he got home and last night when we were at the Lowes. He was slightly tired after being awake for almost three days straight and fell asleep on the couch with Sarah. She already has him wrapped around her little finger. I find it absolutely adorable.

Baby update

Sarah and I came home Monday evening. She is so perfect. Our nights are getting a little easier. At least I sleep well between feedings. I think I got five hours of sleep last night. Jacob and Jared absolutely love her. Jacob wants to hold her all the time and Jared gives the sweetest little kisses. We went to the doctor yesterday and she was 8 pounds and had grown almost an inch; in a week! Isn't that crazy? She nurses really well which I am grateful for. We've taken a couple more pics but they're still on the camera, which Whitney has at the moment. So here's another picture from the hospital. I'll post more pics probably Sunday since I will three hours with just Sarah and I while Whitney and the boys are at church.

Here She Is!!!

Contractions started on Friday, and Sarah June Lowe was delivered on Sunday, June 8, 2008 at 1254 pm. She weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces, and was a grand total of 19.5 inches. Everything went well and our daughter is so beautiful!! Here are a few pics to gawk at:

This is Jacob riding his first pony at the fiesta days on May 24.

This is Jared not. He likes animals, just from a distance.
We went swimming with Shannon and the kids on Friday. Whitney had his own little swim class consisting of Rebekah, Jacob, Jared and Michael. He handled it very well.
The boys did pretty well. I am hoping Whitney can teach them before he goes into the Academy. We plan on spending lots of time at the pool.
We are hoping for a baby this weekend but we will keep you all updated. I've been having contractions off and on since Thursday, consistantly since yesterday. So we'll see.

Oh, for anyone that sent me an invite to their blog and I never accepted, please send me another invite. Thanks.

Well, I have been told that I need to start a blog. Apparently a certain sister in-law, who I love very much, will badger me until I start one. I don't even get a grace period because I am having a baby. Can't you cut the prego woman a break?

I had never really thought of doing a blog. I figured a myspace was good, and the people I really wanted to keep in touch with I could just call. Plus we didn't have the Internet for about 10 months. Now we do so I guess it's a good time to try something new.

This picture was taken during our last hair cut session. Whitney always blow drys his hair straight up before he cuts it because his hair is really fine. Actually, I should get a pic next time he does that. Anyway, we thought we would try it with the boys. We always seem to miss a lot of hairs when we buzz it so we thought this would help. I don't really think it made much of a difference, but it gave us a couple of good photos.

We got the house all ready for the new addition. One of the things we did was get bunk beds for the boys. This is their first night on the beds. We didn't have the top mattress yet so the boys slept together. They've done it before. We have another pic of both of them in the same toddler bed. I love watching them together. I can't help but hope that they will always be close. I know that siblings fight but I hope they will stick together when it really matters. I can't wait to being our Sarah into the mix. I keep telling myself it will happen in less than two weeks. I know I should be content with where I am but it is so hard to wait when you're this close to the end.
