Check this out...

One of my friends mentioned this site on there blog. I went to it not expecting much, but I was surprised to learn how cool it was! Basically you set up a page with your favorite blogs and it checks to see if they have posted lately so you don't have to spend an hour checking all of them only to learn that 3/4 of them didn't post today. It has been working very well for me for over a month now so I highly recommend it! Check it out: www.bloglines.com
On a totally different note: There is a photography contest coming up at our zoo. I'm very excited about this and plan to spend many days up there with my camera in hand. I do really like this one though...Comments? Good enough to impress the zoo? I'm not happy with the composition, but I can try to twik that in photoshop. I had to "off-road" it so to speak to get this photo, but I think it was worth it.
For those wondering, yes, the girls and I are fine. We are very busy and doing well. I will post more cute pictures later this week.

New Pictures of the Girls.

For those of you who read my blog strictly so they can see new pictures of the girls.... Here are a few new ones from this weekend. Notice the cute dress Lola has on, I'd like to thank granddad Pogue for that one!

Memorial Weekend

For Memorial Weekend my sister came to visit us with her three kids. We took all the kiddos to the zoo, the park, shopping, and whole lot of other things! Needless to say Heather and I are Tired! Here are some pictures of the weekend!

Oh the cuteness!

I managed to hop on the computer before Jeff did so I thought I would post a few new pictures of our little girl. She's starting to get really big! Now if only she'd let me sleep!
Oh and Tammy: Notice the Duck hair on the 3rd picture. It showed up after her bath yesterday and I still can't get it to go back down! It's WAY worse than it ever was with Sophy! We love it!

Two Weeks old!

Can you believe that Lola is already two weeks old? It seems like yesterday I was griping about being pregnant! She is doing very well. We went to the doctor today and he said she looks the picture of health. Her weight isn't quite up to birth weight yet, but it's VERY close. The fluid in her ears from birth is now gone. We have to go back in two weeks to make sure she is still gaining weight, but I'm sure that will be fine.
Sophy is still having a hard time adjusting to Lola being here. She loves on her and thinks of her as her own personal baby doll, often playing a little too rough if mom and dad don't keep a close eye out! I think Sophy is just ready for life to go back to normal, not realizing that Life is never going back to the way it used to be. I have high hopes that it will get a lot better soon though.
My health has been good. I've had a harder time recovering than I hoped to have. A few set backs go a long way to slowing you down. I hope to be back to full capacity soon. In the mean time my help have all left me and I had to beg Jeff to stay home. I am so blessed to have a hubby who is willing to help out!
I think that is all the exciting news for our famly right now. I hope to be out and about again soon.

Home again, home again.

We are now home safe and sound. I still hurt quite a bit, but I'm healing well. Sophy is adjusting very well. She loves her sister, sometimes a little too much. She has had a hard time with me being sore and unable to carry her or hold her on my lap. I think shes doing very well for a little girl who's life has just changed in a HUGE way.

As for our new little girl...or should I say Leona Marilyn (we'll be calling her Lola) she is doing VERY well. She lost a little weight in the hospitol, but she has gained a lot now that my milk came in. Her cheeks have filled out quite a bit and she has such a cute face! It's amazing how my two girls could look so different and yet still look So cute both of them. She has dark eyes! They are blue right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they turn green or even brown before too long! She loves to curl up in a little ball. She likes to eat and sleep and that is about all right now.

I want to thank everyone who came to visit us in the hospital. It was nice to break up the stay with friends and family coming by to visit. As nice as it was I am still very gladc to be home. I went home a whole day later with Lola than I did with Sophy. I do feel much better this time around. I was also a lot calmer during the surgury this time. All in all it has been nice.

And for all of those that said after I had Lola that Sophy would look older to me and wouldn't be my baby anymore. For me it was NOTHING like that. She is still my baby and I just have two babies now. One just happens to be alot bigger. I am also very in love with my new little girl. I can't wait to see how her personality grows and changes.
