SHE IS SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!

I can't believe Charly is going to be a month old tomorrow! Where has the time gone?? It feels like we just brought her home from the hospital. She is definitely delicious though. I can't seem to get enough of her. My mom will agree..i can't seem to put her down. Maybe that's because I've never had a newborn that wasn't screaming all the time? Maybe it's because she is our last? Maybe because she looks like a doll? Probably all of them. All I know for certain, is that the newborn stage goes by in the blink of an eye and I am doing my best to soak it all up! I am so grateful and proud of all my girls. Poor T'chad, definitely outnumbered in this house, but in return he has 4 princesses that love and adore him. :)

ALREADY TWO WEEKS OLD!!!

I can't believe this little angel is already two weeks already. That has been the quickest two weeks of my life. I am enjoying this little one so much and have had plenty of alone time with her since T'chad has been home for the past two weeks taking care of the other girlies. I don't know if it's because this is our last baby, but I am much more "in the moment" with Charly and cherishing any and all time I have with her. The girls LOVE being big sisters and are so sweet and gentle with her. They love having a baby in the house. I have to agree with them...it's been way too long. The time is going by so fast...sigh.

JUST IN TIME FOR SCHOOL PICTURES!

So, of course murphy's law...Taiyah had her front tooth loose for a really long time and the day before pictures at school she woke me up early in the morning and showed me her "window" in her mouth. Too cute!

CHARLIZE LILY LEEDS

She's finally here! Charlize, AKA Charly came suprisingly on my due date, September 24th at 1:51pm. She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20 3/4 " I wasn't too scared because it was my 3rd delivery and it seemed to get easier each time. Boy was I WRONG! I NEVER planned on going natural, but by the time the pitocen kicked in, I went so fast that when I did get my epidural it was time to push and I felt EVERYTHING! Boy oh boy, it was an experience. BUT...Charly has been such an amazing baby and so precious. She just fits right in our family and I can't imagine our family without her. Jessica, my sister was able to come into the delivery room with T'chad and I and I am so grateful to have had her there. She was such a big help and comfort to me. T'chad did amazing like always and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
