A month has already passed and here I am finally getting around Rylee's first week home! Life is definitely much busier! I came home tuesday morning and went straight to bed! But it wasn't long before we hopped back into the real world.
Carter and Mollie both had soccer games and it was their last games so i felt like I should be there so we all loaded up and went. The kids were extra excited to show Rylee off and because their grandparents were there!
That afternoon both grandparents showed up and this beautiful bouquet of flowers from Chad's work. I normally don't care much for flowers but when its a big beautiful display and it didn't come from my checking account I love it! And I really enjoyed looking at it all week.
Anther surprise was these little pink roses bloomed just in time for us to come home from the hospital!
My parents stopped in and Dad & Adam held Rylee then had to get on the road to help Tony move to St. George! Mom stayed to help me for a few days.
Then the lounging around and cuddle time began. We all snuck in as much time as we could holding Rylee. The kids have been very helpful and well behaved and we all love her so much!
We did a LOT of front porch sittin' while the kids played in the yard and the adults chatted.
I love this picture! Brielle makes this face and an "OHHHH!" sound whenever she gets near her.
Saturday afternoon we had some more visitors, The Calls! The kids were excited to see their cousins and have a pool party.
Chelsey made some more cute sandals for Rylee.
For dinner we went out to Shanes favorite restaurant La Fountain!
On Sunday dad stopped back by to pick up mom and take her home. He got to stay a little longer this time.
I'm always so grateful that my mom comes and stays and helps with the kids. It ensures that we all stay happy and it was hard to let her go! But I knew I had to get back to real life sooner than later.
I went to bed feeling a little ill and the next day had the full blown flu! Oh it was so awful and I begged Chad to stay home one more day. New moms shouldn't be allowed to get sick!!
But I got lots more snuggle time in bed with Rylee and it was much needed.
After I was well I felt the baby blues trying to sneak into my life and I knew it was time to get out! So we loaded up the kids, packed a lunch and grabbed a bag of bread to feed to the ducks at the park and went for a picnic. The sunshine did my soul good and only had a few days I was feeling down.
Here is Brielle giving some loves
And Carter and Mollie are never far if I set her down for a little bit.
I've loved having a summer baby and sitting outside enjoying the weather. Rylee seems to like it too and is happiest when she is outside. So this is how we sit....alot...and I love it.
Hello bright eyes!
My baby holding my baby! More loves from Bri. She's always quick to point out her eyes and nose. Cute kiddo.
While I had the flu Chad was changing Rylee and we noticed her umbilical cord had fallen off at 6 days old! The next day we gave her her first bath. I had lots of helpers...
Brielle was more interested in poking at my bum crack while I was bent over and I couldn't do anything about it! She is going to be my funny baby. She is constantly tickling and is quick to point out a bum crack or belly button that is showing.
She wasn't a huge fan...So tiny!
Time has flown! But we are all enjoying our family of 6. But I am content to say that this could be the last baby. It has been a little hard since its summer time to not be able to camp, swim, bike, etc and I'm just really ready to be done with the baby stage as sweet as it is. We will see if Heavenly Father has different plans but Little Miss Rylee could be the last!
