1st week at home...

we have been loving every minute with miss evelyn...she is such a sweet girl. she loves her swing and bouncy chair so much that sometimes i have to take her out just so i can get some cuddle time! she also doesn't mind her car seat, which is great because we seem to be on the go a lot. we have ventured out for a few walks at the park using the bob stroller and the sling...she loves getting some fresh air and a little sunshine. she has been sleeping in her co-sleeper at night and walking just 2-3 times a night for feedings and also takes great long naps during the day. i think our favorite things is when she falls asleep on our chest...which she does often. evie is also a champ at eating, at her one week appt. she was already up to 7lbs 120z, well above her birth weight...the doctor mentioned that she must be eating cream! :)
first day home in the co-sleeper...

asleep in the sling...

lovin' the sunny warm days...



she sleeps really well when we swaddle her like a burrito!
asleep from a milk coma...

sarah working on some sewing projects...
we have been eating like kings since sarah came and visited...she brought lots of food to prepare that we could freeze and eat throughout the week. we enjoyed the quick yummy meals all week!

evie and aunt sasa...
catching some zzzz's with his ladies...

allie hasn't paid much attention to the baby although the other day she decided to lay behind the chair while i feed evie, i think she might be pouting...
first bath at home...

i just love these two...brian is so sweet with her!




look at those skinny little legs!
we are both loving being parents to miss evelyn, we just can't seem to get enough of her!
basement update: brian finished installing all the molding and doors over the weekend and was able to spray it all on sunday. we now just have to paint the walls and ceilings, install the bathroom vanity and toilet, put carpet down and were done! i'm sure there will be lots of odds and ends left to do, but the big projects will be done...we both can't wait to wrap up the remodel. our deadline is july 3rd, we have the douglas family coming to town and we want them to break it in! :)

welcome to the thirties!

as of last sunday i have officially joined the 30s club! sarah threw me a little birthday bash while she was in town. we of course had lots of amazing food. i think my favorite was the cake...lemon rhubarb, it was awesome! miss evelyn was by far the best birthday present ever, but i also received lots of great gifts that i'm super excited about.




showing off one of sarah's amazing wrapping job, sometimes i don't even want to open them!

thanks again sweets for making my birthday such a special one!

single digits...

5 days until sweetpeas due date & 6 days until i turn 30!!!
relaxing with miss gwynn...

payton...i finally got to see him walking!

the little lady who loved swimming at grandma's...

payton would push gwynn on this, looks like he is a little frustrated...
gorgeous visit to washington park...
soaking up the nice weather at the rose garden...

sweetpea decided not to make her appearance over the weekend, we were hoping she would! i'm getting more and more uncomfortable as the days progress and the weather get warmer, but we wouldn't want to rush her, i'm sure she will surprise us when we least expect it! we ventured down to portland for half a day on saturday to take a break from the basement remodel. we made stops at the farmers market, washington park, and a few other favorite stops. then it was off to mom's to squeeze on gwynn and payton for a bit. they were having so much fun spending the day with grandma in the sunshine, payton turns one on the 27th of may, so who knows maybe him and sweetpea with share a birthday...only time will tell.
i have a doctors appt. on wednesday, so i will post an update later in the week, until then we will keep walking at the lake and enjoying the sunshine!
