She's Here!!

Sydney McKayla Paul was born on May 4th 2010. She was 7 lbs 14 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. She has dark hair and blue eyes. She is just beautiful! I am hoping her eyes stay blue but i seriously doubt they will. She is a great sleeper so far. She only wakes up once a night right at about 3 am. Addyson had a rough couple of days getting used to her being here with us but she loves really loves her little sister. She is constantly wanting to hold and kiss her and every time she hears her cry or make a noise she says "baby". She is so cute and is learning to adapt very quickly.

My mom was here with me for 11 days and it was so great to have her. She was such a huge help. She stayed in the hospital with me the whole time and let me sleep all that i could. Jason had school so he came home with Addyson at night. I was really sad to have her leave. She did so much for me. She bought a sewing machine and was busy like a bee making covers for my rocker/glider and for a swing we had for Sydney. I will post pics of them cause they are amazing!

Jason's parents and little sister also came in for the blessing, along with Grandma Pat and Papa Dean. It was so great to have everyone here. We did the blessing here at home and it was so great! Jason did a great job and Sydney slept the whole way through. It was really neat to do it here at the house. Jason's mom and sister are staying till the 19th to help out and let me tell you how thankful I am. They have been great! I don't know what i would have done with out all this help. It has really been a huge blessing.

I am healing fast and feel great. I sometimes try and do too much and end up paying for it later but Jason is really good at telling me to stop and take it easy.  He takes very good care of me. That is all i have for now. Here are some pics of the past week events.
