Our sweet little girl arrived 5 weeks ago now. Crazy. She was 4 weeks earlier than her due date, and 3 weeks before her scheduled c-section. She wanted out out of there I guess.
Her delivery was hard. I had my 3rd C-section. So much scarring, it hurt more moving around this time. She had her cord tied every which way around her. It caused a ton of bruising. Her one arm was so tied up, it had no circulation. Scary. We didn't know if she'd be able to use it. She can, praise God. She had to stay in the NICU. I hated it, it started our breastfeeding journey off the hard way. 6 days after delivery she was home with us! Another hard part of he birth was finding out we can't have any more children. I have to much scarring and other issues so it makes having another babe dangerous. That totally brakes my heart, we wanted four babes. I love having children. I know I was meant to be a momma and I wanted a HUGE family. I am still processing that information. I guess we will figure out what God has in store for us later. Right now we are just focusing on enjoying our 3 babes!
She is beautiful, I mean absolutely perfect. She is little, a lot smaller than her brothers. But she was early and only born at 6lb 5oz. TINY. She is over 7lbs now though! Yeah for breastfeeding. She has made it through two rounds of sickness in our house with out catching any of it. Another, yeah for breastfeeding. It amazes me how awesome the antibodies (basically a perfect form of immune boosters) in breast milk are, way to go God on that design :) She sleeps well, really well like 4-6 hours straight at night! God is looking out for me with that since her brothers 3 and 2 are BUSY!!! I need all the rest I can get.
Randy is an AMAZING big brother. He is obsessed with his sissy! He loves her and is always talking about how pretty and beautiful she is. He likes to help with dipers changes, picking out her clothes, comforting her and he even tries to help her with breastfeeding lol. He loves holding her and starring at her and telling me God made sissy a girl, he is so funny.
Robert loves sissy too. He gets board more easily though. He wants to hold her, but as soon as you put her in his arms he hugs her and says "I done". Too funny. He hates when she cries though. He says "Sissy, no cry. It ok!!" And he always thinks she needs lotions so she 'mell good!
Daddy loves his little girl too. She looks SOOO small in his arms. It's cute, he looks like her big strong protector. I feel like when he holds her no danger could ever befall her. And our God is even bigger and loves her (and my boys) even more then we do and watching Jase hold her reminds me of our Daddy Gods BIGNESS. Our love is so small compared to His and that is comforting knowing He is watching over our sweet gifts too. Jason didn't really think Adie liked him that much, because she would fuss there for a while when he held her. Not so much any more, she loves her daddy snuggles! If she fusses for me he calms her down, its sweet. I love watching him with all our kiddos but there is something so sweet about a Daddy and daughter. I am looking forward to watching there relationship grow.
The boys are HUGE now. At least thats how it seems since we brought Adie home. They are getting better and better with their pronunciation of words. They are so strong. I honestly believe that they are extremely intelligent, they are great problem solvers!! They still aren't potty trained though :( I am not sure when that will happen. Hopefully they will express desire soon. I'm not a fan of changing three kids dipers!! Oh well they are sweet!
