Sarah's first christmas

It's been a fun, but busy christmas with Sarah. It's definetly different having a child at christmas. Here is a few pics of Sarah.

Sarah's first Halloween

Sarah had her first halloween. She was adorable in her princess costume.

No new teeth yet but she's definetly hard core teething. Some days are much better than others. Here are some pictures of Sarah from Halloween

First time at Camp Nutimik

Sarah is now officially 6 months old. I can't believe how fast my little baby is growing up.

Sarah had her first overnight stay at Camp Nutimik. The church had our ladies retreat up there this past weekend. I think it went well, although b/c she wasn't in her crib, she just didn't sleep as well. She ended up waking up at 5:15am instead of her normal 6:30 or 7:00am. She definetly loved all the attention she got there.

Here is some neat pictures from the weekend.

First day back at work

Well, it's finally here. I'm going back to work for my once a week, five hour shift. The extra money will be nice.

I love the time away from my little Sarah but at the same time I do miss her when I go out. Strange how much those little people are such a big part of your life. Yesterday, Sarah got really overtired and would not go to sleep. Darren and I had to take her out in the van to calm her down. At least driving around puts her to sleep as a last resort.

Here are some more pics of Sarah

5 months old

Sarah is now 5 1/2 months old, hard to believe. It's been a very different summer b/c I'm home with the baby instead of at work and taking holidays. So far sarah has one tooth, with another that I'm sure will appear soon with the way she's been acting.

Other than that, I'm going to start going back to work 5 hours a week(EI allows that without cutting into benefits). It'll give me some time out with adults and do something besides feeding, changing, and playing with baby. I hope my mind is up to the challenge and I haven't forget everything!

Anyhow, here are some pics of Sarah from the children's museum and other places

Sarah's first camping trip

Sarah had her first camping trip last weekend. I think it went well. She had no problems sleeping because of all the fresh air, in fact by the end of the weekend she was really ready to go home.

It was a great weekend for me too because of having grandma, grandpa, and aunt Stephanie around, I had to entertain her less. Lots of people to hold her and cuddle her, which Sarah loves.

Here are some neat pictures of her from the weekend.

4 months old

Baby Sarah is now 4 months old. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. She had her second set of needles on Wednesday and seems to be doing fine so far.

I miss going to work already, it's time with adults.

Here are some new pics of Sarah

More pics of Sarah

Sarah has been doing well, although I think she is starting to teeth right now(making her super cranky). Other than that, things are going well. She now weighs 13 pounds and 14 oz and is 24 inches.

Here are some recent pictures of Sarah

June update

well, seems like summer is here and I love this weather. Sarah had her first beach adventure and she seemed to like the water. Here's a few pics

Update on our family

It's been awhile since I last posted. We've been quite busy as on May 26, 2007 my Aunt Gloria died and before that I was spending lots of time visiting her.

Sarah is growing well, weighs 12 lbs 8 oz. She's still sleeping well 5-7 hours a night, making mommy very happy.

Sarah and I are settling into a routine for the days I'm home with her, although I am so glad to get out in the evening(I have to or I'd go crazy!). Unfortunately Sarah has thrush and a yeast rash again so we're on another round of treatment for that.

Here are some more pictures of Sarah.

More pictures of Sarah

Here are some more pictures of Sarah. She is constantly changing her looks.

The night sleeping thing is going okay, although the last few nights it's been a 4 hour stretch instead of a 6 or 7 hour stretch, which I much prefer. Other than that, things are going well.

Changing looks

Sarah is now just over 6 weeks old. And my how she has changed in looks.

She slept 5 hours last night, which was very good and even better she spent the whole night in her crib. We use a heating pad in there to warm it up before she goes in and that seems to make all the difference for her to be able to settle down.

It's hard to believe that this Mother's day I will actually be a mother. Darren's parents arrive next Thursday and they will be thrilled to see their little grand-daughter. Here's a few photos of Sarah.

One Month Old

Time is going by quickly. Sarah is now officially one month old. Another doctor visit today and she weighs 9 lbs 11 oz, which means she has gained 3 lbs since she was born. That little girl can definetly eat well.

We're going to start working on sleeping in the crib this week. It's time she got out of our bed already, I want my own space back.

Here are some cute photos of my little princess Sarah.

The crying photo represents what she looks like at 3:00am when she won't sleep, but I still love her not matter what.

Sarah is growing

Sarah just went to the doctor today and she now weighs 8 lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long. She definetly eats well.

Mom is quite sleep deprived as Sarah doesn't seem to know what night is yet. I can sleep almost anytime, anywhere it seems these days.

Here are a few cute photos of Sarah. The one with the donation sticker on her forehead reflects how I feel at 3:00am when she's awake.

Baby Sarah is 1 week old

I finally feel well enough to sit at the computer and put up a post. It's been a rough week since I delivered baby Sarah. I am sure that our next child will be a few years away after this, didn't expect the recovery to be so rough. My parents and sister have been great about coming over and helping in whatever way they can. This week, we had four days where people from church brought over meals, again very much appreciated as taking care of Sarah on my own was enough to do in the day.

As the title says Sarah is now officially a week old. I am definetly looking forward to getting out of the house more again. I love my little princess and her daddy definetly loves her too. Here is some new photos of the little one.

The Big Day has arrived

So no more jokes with little snickers. Our baby made its appearence earlier today.

Sarah Joy was born at 6:40AM, weigning 6lbs10oz and measuring 19" long.

Mom and baby are doing great. I have attached a few pictures from today but i am sure there will be many more posted in the next few days.
