Fall Festival

Last week Margaret's school had their fall festival. Megan came in town and was able to watch Simms so I could go with Margaret. Thanks again Aunt Megan.

She was a bit overwhelmed but had fun!

First week

Home Sweet Home

We have had many sleepless nights but we are SLOWLY getting to sleep a few more minutes each night. Simms on the other hand has been snoozing away, less at night unfortunately.

First doctors appointment.

When we left the hospital (Thurs 10/13) she weighed 7lbs 11ozs and when we went to the doctor (10/17) she weighed 7lbs 14ozs, 21 inches. Which is a good thing bc with all the spit up I was beginning to wonder if she was getting any milk. Looks like she is just like her sister with spit up and re flux.

Aunt Liz came in town for a few days and was a BIG help! Thanks again "aunt iz" :)

It was a low key birthday but a great one with my girls. Papa got me a yummy cake from Edgewood Bakery. Thanks again!

All warm and cozy in the stroller for her first walk

Margaret loved having Simms right next to her.

Proud daddy!

Still in shock we are about to become a family of 4

Hours later sweet Simms is born

Margaret was so excited to meet her baby! She said "baby sister" so clear! It was priceless.

Finally getting ready to go home.

"Stop taking pictures and lets go! I have been here too long! :)"

It's a GIRL!!!!!!

Catherine "Simms" Brent arrived October 11 at 1:30pm weighing a whopping 8 pounds 4 ounces, 20 inches.

It was the ideal delivery, much better than Margaret's! After waking up at 3:20am with contractions and waiting for Miss Margaret to wake up so mommy could get her fix, we headed to the hospital. We checked in at 8am and was only 3 cm (I had been having contractions the day before(10/10), went into to get monitored and was only 1.5 at 4pm). Contractions increased quickly, they broke my water and as soon as I could I got my epidural, which worked this time! At 11:15 I was 6cm and by 1:15 we were ready to meet the little one. Um what that was fast! 5 pushes and 7 minutes later we heard the wonderful news . . . it's a girl! A healthy girl! She looks so much like her big sister. We are all in love and feel so blessed!

(Will update with pictures from the last few days when we get home and I have a spare minute :)

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins Everywhere!

Margaret was in heaven with all the pumpkins. A lot bigger than her little one she has on her table at home. She kept trying to pick them all up, but

they were too "heavy" :)

Happy girl!
