It was absolutely marvelous to have our moms and dads visit us. I was hoping to be a bit more recovered from the C-section so that we could have a bit more fun, but alas, that was not to be. It worked out to be a HUGE blessing to have them come, especially Mama Shoff who took over the mom role of our house and really took care of us. I am forever indebted to her. It was awesome on Sunday morning to see all of us getting ready to be to 9:00 church. Thank heavens for the time change......my mom took DB and kept him on task, my dad had the baby while I got ready, both of Ben's parents tag teamed JT as he was in meltdown mode. Awesome. Thank heavens for parents.
My patience with myself has really been tried this time around. I was expecting to be "whole" again by now, but am just starting to feel better. I even made it through my entire prescription of "happy pills" this time. With JT I only took 2 pills after coming home! If I could just learn to have patience so that I can quit all these lessons.....
One cool story about her cute little booties....the woman who she was named after made these booties before she passed away. Ben's aunt Sharlee happened to have this last pair and gave them to us. That really meant a lot to us to have Sarah wear something made by her guardian angel, Aunt Marlene.
Oh, and I am totally converted to pink--who knew?

That is such a sweet story about her booties and Aunt Marlene. Congrats on your little bundle!
I love the pictures! What a little princess you've got! You all look great and the family picture is beautiful. We'll be praying for a speedy and complete recovery for you, Amanda. We love you guys.
What a beautiful baby! I tell you, I thought boys were fun, but there is something about little girls and pink and dresses! Hope you feel up to par soon!
My Mom said that she had a great time! Mama S. loves serving so she was in 7th heaven :) I love the booties and her sweet dress! What a doll she is. I can't wait to squeeze her. When are you coming out??
I understand what you are saying about recovery. I'm going to physical therapy from birthing Mason. What a stinker. Good thing I have a patient and strong husband because he is having to take over A LOT around our house.
Here's to hoping that we both recover soon!!
Miss you guys!
P.S. Tell Ben that I'm sorry I didn't call him on his birthday! It's been crazy mad busy around here and I didn't even realize. I hope he still knows that I LOVE him to pieces.
I LOVE her booties! I teared up about that story! She is such a doll baby. Perfect. I hope you are on the mend soon. I am glad as well that you had so much help this last week. Love you!
Amanda, she is beautiful. Take it easy, you'll be bouncing around like usual soon. Haha, I remember people telling me that too. It's funny how easy it is to give advice compared to taking it. We have both had 3 c-sections...so I guess this makes us offical soul sistas! So, take it easy sista:)
What a beautiful baby and a beautiful family! Hope you're feeling better soon!
What a little angel! I love these pics!
xox
Amanda, I'm finally catching up on my favorite blogs.
What a darling little girly girl...she is really beautiful. I would love all of that hair too. Also, I love the new pic on your blog.
I'm so glad that you had both parents there to help you and I hope that your feeling better!
It sounds like everyone is adjusting and I can't wait to get get my hands on Sarah. She needs big fat kisses and snuggles from her favorite Aunt Dianne!!!
