Obsessed!


It's true, all of us are obsessed with this little girl.  I can't get enough of her and the two seconds Dan is home he can't get enough of her either.  Sam is also VERY, VERY obsessed with her.  It drives me insane!  I realize I should be grateful he doesn't hate her but seriously it's obsession overload.  He will not leave her alone and it's driving me to CRAZY TOWN!  It's all an adjustment so I am learning to chill out about him smothering her all the time and he is learning to be more soft with her.  We still have a ways to go but we are both doing better.




While it's true he loves her this bottom picture pretty much depicts the last 2 weeks of our life.  Sam getting a thrill out of torturing her and her not so happy about it.  We're in for a fun ride eh?  I really can't thank my family enough for taking him for me so much.  The boredom scale around our house is pretty much at 100% for both of us.  The weather better start warming up or this very well could be the longest 4 weeks of my life.  I'm hoping time will help us all get adjusted.
On a lighter note, notice anything different about Sam?  We finally got his haircut and it looks SOOO much better.  Both Dan and I are pretty embarrassed we let it go so long.  Thanks Shell for cutting it, it looks great and we love it.  It makes him look so much older.  
I am really enjoying not transcribing or having to worry about Young Women's.  I am going to enjoy it as long as I can.  Well, that's pretty much it for us.  If you're bored and want to stop by and join our boredom you are more than welcome. :-) 
I am really looking forward to busy season being over.  It is now 10:15 and Dan is still at work.  Grrrr!  If he stays in public accounting we will NEVER, I repeat NEVER have a baby during busy season again.  Sigh, okay, my pity party is over now.  It will start up around 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon if anybody would like to join me.

Oh Em, she is beautiful!! I can see why you are all obsessed! :)
I loved your birth story, I'm wierd that way and LOVE to here stories about labor. Anyhoo, aren't epidurals heaven? And I actually really enjoy my time in the hospital as well...wierd? Maybe. But it kind of feels like a mini vacation. No kids running around, room service, other than the fact I'm pretty much wearing a diaper, it's really quite nice. Glad everything went so well! Enjoy!

Oh she is seriously such a cutie! We do want to join your boredom!!! I want to see this cute girl and I could bring you lunch or dinner or whatever! Just be thankful you had her at the end of the horrible weather, this winter has made me SO depressed and I feel the same as you about being bored out of my mind and ready to get out....Only when you try to get out with the two of them you may realize it is worse than being trapped in. But hopefully Sam behaves himself better for you than Josh does for me!

Ellie is beautiful and I LOVE the picture of Sam sticking his tongue out and holding her. Just classic. I know for a fact that you are a strong, amazing woman and the busy season will pass. You are an incredible mother and you have two very lucky children. I agree that this weather needs to warm up so we can get our babies out in the sun!
