    3 Weeks!!

    Friday, February 5th, 2010

    I can hardly believe that our little Con man is three weeks old today!! It has been a great 3 weeks and has gone by SO fast!! He is growing like a weed! He was already up to ten pounds as of this past Wednesday. Connor is a really good baby. Sunday night he even slept 6 and a half hours straight. He of course hasn’t done that again, but I am hoping that that was a sign that he will be a good sleeper eventually. Last night was a little rough as he was up for several hours for no reason in the middle of the night. If he wasn’t so stinkin cute, I might have been upset.  :)

    The girls have gotten into a good routine of getting up and getting out of the house with Daddy in the morning to go to day care. It has been a little weird to be home without them here, but they really need the routine and would be so bored here at home. I have been enjoying my time alone with my little guy! He is so sweet and cuddly! I think he is a momma’s boy already! We only stayed home all day Tuesday, but have done some running around the rest of the week. I am not one to stay in the house.

    Wednesday night we had the Raders family over for a visit which was really fun! we can’t wait for the arrival of their little girl. Yesterday, Connor and I went over to Grandma’s house for a visit with Auntie Marsha, Savannah, Landon, Nana, Papa, and Grandma. We had a great lunch and enjoyed our visit. Happy Birthday to Auntie Marsha! Today, Connor and I had lunch with Grandma, Jill, and Jakey as well as did a little bit of shopping. Connor isn’t as great of a shopper as the girls are.

    This weekend we are busy with getting our taxes done and haircuts for Ella and I tomorrow, and a small get together here for the Superbowl on Sunday. Should be a great time. I am rooting for the Saints as I am a Drew Brees fan from my days at Purdue. I am sure we will have many  more pictures to post after the weekend.

    I can’t believe I only have 3 more weeks at home. It is going to go so fast!!

    Disney on Ice

    Disney on Ice

    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!

    Sunday!

    Monday, January 18th, 2010

    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!

    Check out @Flickr for more photos from today!

    Saturday Night

    Sleepin!

    Sleepin!

    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’s Birthday!

    Friday, January 15th, 2010

    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!

    It was great to see everyone who made it out today and look forward to seeing more people this weekend! Check out the posted pics here for a glimpse of Connor Lee Saip!

    Kiley’s 2nd Birthday!

    Sunday, January 10th, 2010

    Today we are going to have some family over for Kiley’s 2nd Birthday! She turns 2 on January 18th but with Connor coming this week we wanted to make sure we had a special day for Kiley Bug! These past two years have gone by way too quickly! She’s doing her best to keep up with her Big Sister everyday and doing a great job at it. Some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth now is hilarious! Yesterday morning and today was all about Face Wipes! Too Cute!

    Ella is home from her dad’s house and we are getting ready for the party. We have to run off to Wal-Mart to get some sundae toppings and ice cream, make sure Kiley gets a nap in and then prep for the party. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

    Hopefully, when everyone visits the site they will notice the new look. Instead of going with a baby boy theme, we went with an overall new look that suits Team Saip! We are going to put a focus more on video and photos on the new site. Look for additions coming soon plus up to date information from the hospital on Connor Lee Saip’s birth :)
