Saide's Big Day





























Just an update, Sadie's operation date is scheduled for January 13th! She will start recieving weekly shots 3 weeks prior that that will help increase her red blood cells. The operation will last about 5 hours. After spending a night in the NICU she will be in a regular room for another few days. No helmet required since the plastic surgeon will be shaping her skull for her. We are anxious for it all to be over, but know that all will turn out just fine.
Other than that, Sadie is growing fast, definetly out growing her cousins! She now weighs over 11lbs and is 23 inches tall.
She is smiling and working on the laughing. Just tonight Spencer got her to laugh multiple times. Afterwards he said he hadn't smiled so hard and so much since forever!
A few weeks ago, Spencer was finaly able to put the new shed in place. He transported it from a house that was going to just take it down. Needless to say, it was free if he could figure out how to move it. So after two nights of working on it, Spence and Matt were able to jack it onto a trailer and bring it to its new home. After weeks of sitting on the trailer.... and of course, me backing into it once, it made its way to the final resting spot. Now all it needs is a paint job to match the rest of the house. That will be a great spring project for me!
I've started working from home. Its great! I just need to get Sadie on a longer nap schedule.. but if that means her not sleeping through the night, I'll deal with it. I take all night sleeping over anything! Enjoy the new pics! From top to bottom: Thanksgiving day, after a delious meal, Dad and Baby Sadie fell sound asleep! Sadie with Grandma Helen (Spencer's Grandma from Texas). Spence about to give Sadie a bath, the time he got her to laugh real hard! The next pic is a bit blurry because I was trying to get a pic of her smiling but she knew and would stop when i would bring out the camera, so this is the best so far! The next two are the new shed and process of getting the shed into place. And the last one is Sadie with Jessica, my midwife who delivered her.
