Ally Photography

 Ally got her hands on my camera... this is about a third of what she took.  My favorites are the ones where she tried to take a picture of herself with Kassi.

 And then there are the ones of her dress...

Mother's Helper

I don't know what I'd do without Sami!  She has been so helpful and never makes me ask for the help.  She seems to really enjoy playing the part of a little Mommy.  We'll see how long it lasts.  :)

One Week Old and a couple firsts

Kassi loves the swing!!

  Kassi got her first sponge bath at home earlier this week....

 She didn't care for it a whole lot...

The only part she did like was getting her hair washed.

 Luckily for Kassi, she lost her cord last night which means she gets a real bath next time!

Our new family of SIX!

Just playing around

Jeremy's firm sent us a rather elaborate bouquet of flowers to congratulate us on Kassi's birth.  I took one look at it and thought photo opportunity... :) 

To my delight, Kassi was very agreeable and cooperative.  A future poser, perhaps?  I hope so!  I'm thinking I might use one or two for a baby announcement, but I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite...

Ready to Go Home

I wish I enjoyed hospitals more than I do, but I just don't find them comfortable.  We came home just 28 hours after Kassi was born.  Both Jeremy and I wanted to be in our own bed and with our girls.  It was almost 11pm when we got home.  I had never taken a baby home at night before--I almost felt like we were sneaking around or something.  Stealing away our child in the still of the night.  :)  And there were a couple times that night when I kind of regretted not having the nurse there to get me fresh cold water and bring me something to eat.  But I also didn't have someone bugging me for my vitals or wanting to poke my baby for her blood sugar every few hours.  It was just me and Kassi.  It's good to be home and adjusting to a house with four little gals in it instead of three.  And we are adjusting--slowly but surely. 

 All ready and heading home!
