Hey All! Jess was so kind in uploading some photos to Facebook and I’ve posted them to our site as well. I can’t figure out how to share the link to Facebook for Non Facebookers so I uploaded some to Flickr! This isn’t all of them so be on the look out for the full Flickr album! Check out the photos at the top of the site for more (they are random)!
They turned out amazing and I would recommend anyone that wants to have professional photos taken to use Jessi! I’ll be posting info on how to reach her shortly (just have to find the link)!
Ok, so the past two weeks have flown by and now I’m back into the office bright and early tomorrow. The past two weeks have been amazing and have let us really come together as a family with our new little bundle of joy! We got to do a lot of cool stuff as a family the past two weeks and Connor fits right in! Be sure to check out all the photos and videos @Flickr!
This past weekend we had Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue over to celebrate Christmas on Friday night. The girls got some really cool gifts that included an Air Hockey Table! It was a great night to celebrate the holidays. Check out the photos here!
On Saturday, we had a few visitors in the morning, dance class and the girls took off with Aunt Lori and Grandma Debbie to see Disney on Ice! The girls had a great time and even called to ask for to borrow my Credit Card… ha ha! The snow cones were $15 bucks! Check out the photos from Saturday here!
Today, we went out to lunch with John, Jill, Jake and Grandpa Mark. Ella is with her dad today for a quick visit and will be back tomorrow morning. Now, I think it’s off to the store to get some last minute stuff for this week and then we will watch the Grammys!
You should notice some new enhancements to the site with the sidebar. I’ve added a widget that pulls in the most recent 15 photos from flickr! It’s a nice little touch to the site and I’m always looking for more ideas so let me know! Also, added Tag You’re It to the sidebar so that you can filter all the posts by ones you have been tagged in! Have fun finding all the posts and reliving the memories that we have shared together since the blog started!
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!
Team Saip had a good Saturday Night! Daddy actually got up throughout the night with Mommy and Connor. That will make up for the few times I slept through on Friday Night when Beth needed my help. We did have to have Beth call my cell phone to get me up – Hey if it works it works! Don’t Judge, ha ha!
Connor would get changed, eat and then pass out for a couple hours. So, Beth and I actually got more sleep this way. I even jumped in Beth’s bed with her and was able to get better sleep with the three of us in the bed than on that cot. The nurse was great last night and didn’t get in our way. We aren’t sure why the night time nurse’s are always the best!
I’ve posted more pictures and will be updating them again tonight. I didn’t go as crazy yesterday and today (so far) which isn’t a bad thing. We will get plenty of pictures once we get home and have Auntie Jess come out and take professional photos of him next weekend! We can’t wait!
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!
