So we needed some more pictures of Sedona on the site so we took a few quick shots. She really is a cutie and I am so excited that she is part of our family. She has a bit of baby acne but hey, who didn't. I try to get Kim to dress her in other colors but all the clothes that our good friends and family gave are pink so...she stays in pink. Kim and Ashley do not seem to mind all the pink. She is really quite a calm child, very much like Deacon was...only makes a noise when she needs to eat.



Deacon is still dealing with a bit of jealosy. He takes her "binkies", he still tries to get as much Mom time as he can get and when he finds a pen he writes on her head. He is quite taken by her though, he likes to hold her, and is getting used to the idea that she is going to be around for a while. The key now is to give the other three kids a good deal of individual time. Everybody is asking me about Kim. She is still alive, she has doing well and getting sleep where she can. She has not yet decided when to go out with the baby into public but i'm sure it will be soon. This is just a quick post while we try to get the kids to bed. Oh!! if they only made a pill for that...

Taking some pictures

I have been wanting to take a picture of Sedona's feet since she was born becuase they so long and wrinkled. This was my favorite with her on Ashely's lap. My two girls. Thought I would put it out there. My favorite picture of the week.

More about Sedona...and some fish

Just a couple more pictures as I am at home today helping with Kim. The first in the series is me after a long hard delivery. They did not offer me any form of pain control although I requested it a number of times. The second is our pride and joy.
Sedona does not really like to get bundled up so this was a good shot before she started to fuss and wiggle her arms out. Kim and Sedona came home Sunday night after being discharged at nearly 9PM. No one seemed to be in much of a hurry to get us out but we were not really in a hurry to go anywhere. I have missed having a baby to hold but I have not missed the night time awakenings. Deacon is still waking up early (4AM) for a bottle every morning so Dad has been assigned to Deacon duty and Kim gets Sedona duty (since I am not equipped to deliver the milk). She is such a beautiful little girl. Ashley and Nolan love (and will often fight for the right) to hold her. Deacon is still pretty intrepid but seems to understand she is here to stay. He stays right next to Kim whenever he can but has been happy with the extra attention he is getting from Dad.
As a gift to the other kids, to let them know that they are not forgotten, we (me) put together a fishtank with some goldfish. The clerk at petsMart tried to talk me out of getting goldfish because they are so dirty but they are just so cool. I have missed having a tank in the house. We used to have a saltwater tank that I loved but took to much effort to keep clean and it was while I was in school and did not have the time to commit to it. We love to just sit in the near dark with the tank lights on and just watch the fish. They like to stay in groups and love to look at the "other fish" in the mirror behind the tank. Ashley, Nolan and Deacon like to watch and the older two fight about who's turn it is to feed the fish.
