We just wanted to make a quick video post from Sunday! We had a great day with little man. He didn’t get bugged at all today and was able to sleep. A lot of family and friends came out today and it was good to see everyone.
Grandma Debbie and Grandma Marsha did the kid swap in the hospital parking lot. The girls were sleeping and it was good to see them for a few minutes. Ella convinced Grandma Debbie her coat was reversible and its so not. Ha ha. We were able to iChat with the girls again today. Beth and I even talked to John and Jill for a little bit.
As for Connor, he did have a good day but his eyes are a little swollen. You can’t see it in the professional photos that were taken at the hospital but in my photos you can. The dr said it could be a reaction from the ointment they put on his eyes after he was born. Hopefully, he will wake up tomorrow and they will be better. As I was writing this, Mommy’s milk came in and he wasn’t ready for it while nursing a minute ago. First spit up event!
Connor Lee Saip arrived today at 12:46pm. He is 8lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. We are so blessed to have him here with us now! Thank you to everyone for their help today and this weekend. We are grateful for everyone’s help with Ella and Kiley! It’s strange not having the girls with us this weekend but it’s what we have to do so we will make the best of it.
Beth and baby are doing great right now and he is nursing at the moment. He has also been sleeping in his crib as opposed to on Mommy or me. We want him to be able to sleep in his crib so that we don’t have him in bed with us unless it’s necessary. We learned from Kiley Bug!
Team Saip would like to take a minute and wish all of our Family and Friends a very Merry Christmas! This is our favorite time of the year and have had a great time thus far! The girls had a blast opening gifts from Santa this morning. Santa brought all sorts of fun stuff for them and they will be entertained for a long time!
This afternoon we are headed to Aunt Lori’s house to celebrate with Grandma Debbie, Aunt Lori, Uncle Joe, Uncle Rob and Aunt Sandy. It’s should be a great time!
I wanted to post some photos from the past few days as well. Enjoy!
Boy, it’s been one interesting week! I just wanted to post photos from the Chicago Bears game last Saturday and from Ella’s 4th Birthday Party! There are tons of photos from both.
Let’s start with the Chicago Bears game. We decided to take Ella to her first Bears game for her 4th Birthday and she had a blast. The NY Giants were able to get us sideline passes during warmups and it was an amazing experience. Ella is going to think we are going to get on the field for every game we get to go to! Check out the photos here.
Ella’s 4th Birthday part was the next day and it was tons of fun. Thanks to Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe for letting us have it at their house again in Woodstock. Our nephew Jake was the talk of the party! I don’t think John was even able to hold him the entire party because everyone wanted to get his hands on him.
Ella's 4th Birthday
We had a pool, slip n’ slide, bounce house, bags and great food. I wish we could have parties like that every weekend. It was a great way to relax for an afternoon and enjoy family.
Ella would like to say Thanks to everyone for making her day and birthday very special! Check out the photos here.
We celebrated the fourth with family and friends here at our house. The weather cleared up just in time for a BBQ. Butcher on the block has the best brats and stuffed mushrooms by the way! We started out playing bags on the wii but did get a few games in outside. John and Robert (Eli) were the reighning champs! We ended up going to see Eve 6 at the fest in Crystal Lake. I now know why they haven’t been popular since high school. We had a good time, but the band sucked if you ask me! The girls even partied til almost 10:30. They both passed out mid concert…guess they though Eve 6 was lame too!
Today was the laziest day ever! We spent the whole day watching movies with the girls! It was nice to just be at home and relax for once. Matt did take the girls in the pool for a little while tonight so at least we made it outside sometime today. Well I am lucky enough to still have tomorrow off, but poor Matt has to go back to reality tomorrow. We hope all of you had a great holiday weekend!
