love at first sight. . .

OK! So I am back from my blogging maternity leave- ha. Seriously, I have been meaning to get some pictures of the new baby up here but can't find the time in between feedings, diaper changes and quality time spent with Kalem- I even have my mom here helping out for a few weeks so I should have all the time in the world right now. What will I ever do when she leaves?? She has been such a saint and has been slaving away.
How does anyone get anything done with 2 children?? Everyone keeps saying things will get easier so I am holding ya'll to that in hopes that it is true.
So I thought I was prepared to have another newborn in the house but it's amazing how much I had forgotten since Kalem was a baby. The sleepless nights, endless diaper changing, outfit changes 3 x a day because she poops all over them and the best one of all- How much LOVE your heart feels when that new one arrives. It was love at first site for sure.
She has been a great baby so far and we are keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way.
Kalem just adores her and showers her with many kisses a day. He can't wait until she is old enough to play with his toys. He keeps setting down toys next to her in hopes she will pick it up and start playing. I can't believe how grown up he looks to me now. When we got home from the hospital he instantly changed from my little baby to such a BIG boy. That was a hard moment for me but all of these changes are good. We were getting too comfortable as a family of 3- it was time for another to join our family!!!

Today my friend Rachel came over to take some pictures of Quincy. We had a great time with it. I think Quincy wet on every blanket we had and she even left some marks on me but it was all worth it. Rachel is just starting out with her newborn photography but she did an amazing job. Take a look. . .

Oh my gosh- she is SO adorable!! I'm so glad you posted some pictures, I keep looking and looking at them wondering who it is she looks like. I kind of see both of you in her. She is seriously beautiful and those blue blue eyes are to die for. I can't wait to meet her in person in May. Congrats- love you guys!!

Tina she is beautiful. Glad you loved the bow. It looks darling on her naked little body. What cute pictures. Love the one of her yawning. I've decided she is all Trevor, but the eyes. They are yours. That's how my kids are. Kenlie is all me with Jeff's eyes and Afton all Jeff with my eyes. And by the way, I had someone ask me is two just the same and I say no way no how. One was easy to just pack up and go. Man on man you know, but two there is never enough of you to go around, unless we stay home all day. We only go anywhere when Jeff is home and we can tag team them and even the odds. I'm sure you'll be fabulous at it though and you won't even notice the difference in a couple of months. Love how that little heart grows bigger than you ever thought it could with each new baby. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see you all in May.

The photos are fabulous!! I can't wait to come over- I want to come right now!!!!! I promise it gets easier with 2 as time goes on, even when number 1 is called Jamie and is a total monkey.......I think she looks like Kalem's double on the picture at the top of the post, and can't get over how blue her eyes on one of the other pictures- she is gorgeous.
