Logan loving sister Emma!

I was wondering and hoping when Logan would warm up to Emma and love her. At first at the hospital he wanted nothing to do with her..which I figured but later that day he came up to me and said "Mommy, baby" that was so sweet to hear and so he came up on the bed and wanted to touch her face and go through the features like her eyes, nose, ears,etc. as you can see in the pictures. It was so sweet as he kissed her face. He will be such a good big brother. He has been so good at home as I need rest. We are really blessed with amazing children!

this is my favorite picture. perfect moment!

Logan the big brother!

Emma Marie Rooney

Emma Marie came Monday, Aug 22nd at 4:03 am! She weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz. Logan was 7 lbs 6 oz so I was shocked to get a smaller baby with the 2nd. She was so alert and screaming we could definetaly hear her! It was so amazing to go through this experience again when they place your baby on your chest and you feel empowered again and you are blessed to bring life again. It truly is a miracle. As I went through a natural birth this time it was a very different experience and an emotional experience. It was so amazing to see an more alert baby, and I was not half drugged up and out of it.. don't get me wrong Logans labor was just as exciting. This was just a whole new experience and was hard yet so good at the same time. The crazy thing was once my contractions came closer at midnight on Monday by 1 we were counting them and by 2:30 heading to Grandmas to drop off Logan once my water broke at home and headed to the hospital and Emma was here at 4:03 am crazy fast! It is amazing how the 2nd labor can be faster! When we got to the hospital I was all ready to push. that was exciting since I was doing as much as I could at home so that was almost a crying relief at the hospital to be that far along. so glad she is here happy, healthy and we are so happy to be a family of 4 now!

We just love her!

Pleasant little surprise..

To have these little flowers to brighten up the kitchen was so needed today! I feel so blah, prego, depressed at times and just so pooped is the perfect word at these final days of this pregnancy..It's no fun feeling BLAH..so on a happy note to come downstairs this morning to see flowers Jesse dropped by while he had a break from work that he had picked out in a field. Oh I just love him! those little things you do that come so quietly..thank you again and again..

Such a good feeling to be thought of and loved..

38 WEEKS

Wow! Just can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone and before we know it this little girl will bring more into our home that will bless us again. ALL kinds of thoughts go through my mind of hopes..hoping all will go well with this labor, that we will adjust well to a family of four not three!, that Logan will adjust well and still know he is loved and gets to be the big brother, heres to hoping all WILL go well and soon I won't have my big prego belly and can breathe again!

Baby Shower for baby girl!

Baby shower was so much fun! Thanks to my mom, Chloe, Jaime and Aub(thanks so much!!)for putting it together and it was great! It was so good to have friends and family stop by and to top it off with yummy pink lemonade cupcakes(perfect for the girl theme..), and veggies. We got lots of stuff we sooo needed and are so grateful for the help! It was so fun to see what the girls did to the onesies to decorate them and help me out with cute bows(since I have been slacking). Our little girl will be so cute in her outfits!
