"Baby slings R Us" or Not!



Well, many of you know that I am not too crafty. But, since I have two girls now I decided I had better learn a few things. I made Brooke a little bow for her hair and was quite impressed with how well it actually turned out. So, I have been really wanting a baby sling lately and was not willing to shell out mega $$ for one. So, with the loving help of my very awesome and crafty husband, I now have a sling and so far Brooke loves it.

Which will make Chase and Belle happy. I now have my two hands to once again, open the never ending supply of Popsicle's we always have at our house and to look for the lost toy (or piece of a toy)of the day.


P.S. Please don't mention to Zach that you know he helped me sew the sling. He actually did the hardest part that I could not do, and he also got the sewing machine all geared up for me to use! He's the best!

Please do not judge the photographer of these pictures. He is a up and coming photographer with a lot to learn. He is only five but, has been taking pictures since he was three. Usually they are of Spiderman or Transformers, he is trying to branch out a little. :)

Today I put Brooke in her swing. I put her in sideways because she will actually sleep that way. She just looks so relaxed and comfy in there.



Brooke came home on July 6th. She is now 3 weeks old and is doing really good. The kids got to hold her and they really like her.

Well, Brooke is still in the NICU, but she is supposed to be coming home on Monday, July 6th. She had a few setbacks, she had a (pneumothorax) which is a hole in her lung, but it healed quickly. They are just waiting for her to keep the oxygen levels up while she is eating and for her Jaundice level to go down.

They had a cute patriotic bow in her hair for the holidays and I will post a picture of it. We appriciate all of the family support during this trying time (especially those who watched Chase and Belle for us, so we could go up and talk to the Dr.'s and spend time with her.)

If you are wondering why she has black eyes, her whole face was bruised from dropping so fast.
