Coming Home

I was so happy to finally leave the hospital on Sunday, and bring home little Anna! Excuse the spit up on the sheet, but here's a video of Anna in all her 3 day glory :)


Things I've discovered so far about Anna: She doesn't love sleeping in cribs, she'd rather sleep cuddled up next to someone (I'm sure all babies are like this really-- she just lets us know already!, she is a really great nurser (as in she does it often, she still needs to open her mouth wider to latch-ouch!)



All ready to leave. I have to admit that when we got her dressed in her first outfit I let out a little gasp. It's like it finally sank in that I have a little girl :)


It's no wonder Anna came out looking so cute with such a handsome Daddy :)

I was so swollen with fluids.  I thought it was funny when I weighed myself the day after coming home and discovered I had only lost 8 pounds.  Um, considering the baby was almost 10 lbs alone, something just isn't right here!  I think I've finally lost the excess fluid yesterday though!

Ready to be wheeled out

I loved that Wyatt was finally ready to hold Anna when we got home.  He was very sweet with her.


It also didn't take long before the boys loaded Anna up with some of their favorite things: pop blankets and  "Joey"


Lucky girl to have such great older brothers to look after her!

I could just stare all day long

It's so weird seeing a Nyholm baby in pink and with a bow... I think I'll get use to it pretty quick!

Even though she's a big baby, she looks so tiny! Did you have those awful night sweats to rid of the fluid? I really hate those first few nights!

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
