Bunny Cake

Happy Easter everyone! Sophie and I recreated a bunny cake like my grandmother Morrow made for my 2nd birthday on Easter morning. We have been looking back at old photos and Sophie loved the bunny cake, so we made our very own! It was lots of fun! Here's us in the kitchen, Sophie in her new Cinderella dress from the Easter bunny and me in my robe!
The cake is easy to make from 2 9" round cake pans. Cut the ears and bow tie from one round, the head is the other.
Hope you had a very happy Easter!

First doctor's appointment

Sadie had her first check-up today and she is doing so well! She has exceeded her birth weight already and weighed in at 8 lbs, 4 oz. The doctor is very pleased with her progress and says that she rarely sees that kind of weight gain in a breastfed baby. Way to eat, Sadie! She has a little jaundice, but it should resolve by the end of the weekend. It was fun to have confirmation of what we already knew, she is perfect!

Relief

I think every photo I see of Tom or I right now shows the visible relief on our faces. The pregnancy is over and PRAISE God our baby Sadie is here and is safe. We are so relieved to have the pregnancy behind us and couldn't have asked for a better baby. She is perfect and such a good girl. We are truly, truly blessed. She is sleeping well at night and feeding well, too. My heart is so full of thankfulness.

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him." Ps. 127:3

Sadie Joy is Here!

We are so excited to announce that Sadie Joy has safely arrived! She's perfect and we are very smitten with her. I'm attaching a photo for you to get a first glimpse of her. She was born on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:42 a.m. She weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. She is 20.8 inches long. She has a head of brown hair. We are home from the hospital and enjoying every minute of it! We look forward to introducing you to her sometime soon!

Sleep deprived

Already sleep is becoming a thing of the past. I am up every 1-2 hours to use the bathroom and sometimes having trouble falling back asleep. I am sort of a zombie today! Sophie and I have had a quiet day at home for most of the day. We did muster the energy to make it down to the library this afternoon for a little while.
There's a copy of this photo of me on the sidebar, but I thought I should put it on today's blog since so many of you have asked me to post an updated photo of my huge belly! Here's me at 9 months! I'm running out of space for her, but so incredibly glad to be big and pregnant!
