Lydia Grace

She is here!!!!

Lydia Grace was born on Wednesday. She was 8lb and 22inches long. She was born via c-section which went a lot smoother then my c-section with Jilli. We are home and resting. I will write more later about her birth and whats up around here but for right now I am just sharing pictures :)



These pictures are not in any sort of order, they are a mix of pictures from different devices so this will hop around days....

Proud big sister!

We are now a family of 4!

And expecting everyone to look at the camera at once is crazy... this is real life!

In her going home outfit

My sweet girl

In her car seat for the first time. She was not sure about it but I love our new car seat!

Jilli decided her sister needed a blanket on her despite it being over 80 degrees outside

Leaving the OR! My delivery experience was SO much better this time!

Lydia right after she came out! She was not happy to leave mommy!

Heading down the hallway to our room... it was nice to be able to keep her with me

Lydia's first elevator ride

Jillian holding Lydia for the first time

Sitting at the end of mommy's bed... she was so worried that she would hurt me that it took a while for her to give me a hug

Jilli opening a gift

Lydia's first selfie!

Brent holding Lydia

He is a great dad!

Lydia in her bed at an incline... we are having some choking issues so Lydia is being kept upright

Brent cleaning up from the foutain of milk... she made a mess of her bed! (the first thing she did when they handed her to Brent in the OR was vomit green all over him!)

These are the pajamas Jilli bought her the day we had the ultrasound and found out that she is a girl

He is in love

Jilli sitting on the floor in the hospital coloring

Brent talking to Lydia in her car seat while we were waiting to be able to leave

Jillian and Lydia in their double stroller for the first time

We filled the stroller with stuff to head home!

We are home! She was great for the first half of the car ride... and hated the second half of the car ride

Cuddles! She loves being up on the shoulder scrunched up

In the rock n play for her first night home

Lydia trying out her mamaroo and Jilli showing Lydia their clothes for the day

3 days after baby!

She LOVES the mamaroo! And Jillian shared her special blanket

Everyone cuddled up in bed

Second night home... this sleeping did not last for long, she likes to cluster feed from 11pm-3am
Jilli opening her big sister gift from mommy, daddy and Lydia

She got a baby doll carrier

She got a new baby doll, doll carrier and doll bed that fits into the carrier

She did not look happy sleeping :)

Resting together after I got a shower!

dressed as Minnie Mouse

Jilli and her sister cuddling in mommy and daddy's bed watching Frozen

Those are newborn sized shorts....

Minnie one and two. Jilli was SO excited they were wearing matching outfits!

Sweet and screaming Minnie

Mommy and Jilli cuddling

Jilli got a new purse

Happy father's day. We took it slow today. The girls each worse shirts about their dad and Jilli painted him a pirate ship and got him a copy of their favorite book from the library

Lydia's shirt says "Daddy's my hero!"

Jillian's shirt says "I love that you are my dad"



Jilli decided she needed to sleep in her infant to toddler rocker instead of her bed last night.

Jilli read Lydia a book

Uncle Seth holding Lydia

Jilli playing outside. They told us to take Lydia outside for about 5min to help make sure she does not get jaundice (Her levels look great so far) so we took Jilli out to play
Thank you for all the prayers for a safe delivery and for the love people have shown us as we have made this transition to a family of 4!
