Selah is 1 month old!

Today I took Selah for her one month check-up. She is growing well and is such a content baby. She is only waking up once in the night now and then sleeping until seven or eight. I feel so well rested these days!

Here are her stats from the Dr.

Wt: 9lbs. 7 oz. -50%
Ht: 23 1/8 inches- 97%
HC: 14 7/8 -75%

I have tall skinny babies:).

Love my girls!

Things are getting a little closer to normal around here. Selah is doing great with her schedule and is getting better at falling asleep on her own:). Nights around here are pretty good as well. Selah wakes up at 2:30am and 5:30am. She eats and goes right back to sleep! She barely even cries when she is hungry. She's a very calm and happy baby, which I love!

Tomorrow is Mother's day and I will be spending it with my girls, Jeremiah, and my family. I can't believe this is only my second mother's day and I already have two kids! I feel very blessed to be a mother and I am enjoying it more and more every day.



I can't believe how grown-up Amaya looks now!

Amaya has become attached to her Blankie and Paci lately:)

Estes Family Update

Yes, we're still alive. It's been harder these days to find time to do anything, let alone blog! Jeremiah stayed home for the first two weeks and is now back at work:(. I am now on my own with the girls and surprisingly things are going well. Amaya is starting to get used to the new baby and I am starting to catch up on my sleep.

Selah has been a pretty easy baby so far. She hardly ever cries and when she does she is easily calmed down. She is a much different baby then Amaya was. She is also sleeping fairly well at night, she can go anywhere from 4-5 hours before waking me up. I am looking forward to her sleeping through the night!

Here's a fun video of Amaya playing in the sprinkler with her clothes on!

She's finally here!

Selah was born Easter morning at 6:01am. We had a very long (and painful) night but all went well and our baby girl is very healthy.

7 lbs. 14.9oz
20 1/4 inches long

We are now at home enjoying our little princess. She has been such a good baby so far.

Random pictures and finished basement

Here are some pictures of our newly finished basement. I think Jeremiah did an excellent job and I am so happy to have the extra space! Now I just need to decorate.

Here I am at 38 weeks! I am ready to go. My doctor has set an induction for April 13th, but I am praying that the baby will come on it's own before that. I have been walking everyday, cleaning the house, and helping Jer with the basement, in hopes that labor will come on it's own.

She loves swinging!

Pregnancy update and Monkey Business

36 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I am almost done! I have my bags packed and the basement is almost finished! It has definitely been a busy few months but that has made the time fly by. Tonight I have my pre-admission appointment at the hospital to get all my paper work done. Friday I will have another Dr. appointment to see how I'm progressing.

Today my Mothers of Preschoolers group went to Monkey Business. Monkey Business is a large indoor play ground for kids of all ages. Amaya had a good time for about a half an hour and then decided whine the remainder of the time. Luckily, I took some pictures before her meltdown.

It seems like things are moving pretty fast around here. I can't believe I am only a month away (or less) from having this baby! I can't say that we are very prepared this time around. I have been going through all of Amaya's baby clothes hoping that they'll fit the new baby and that the weather would warm up so the seasons will match. I am also trying to pack for myself, Amaya, and the new baby. Jeremiah is keeping busy with the basement and has been a great help to me lately as I have been more and more uncomfortable.

The doctor told me that the baby has dropped and things are going well. I will now be seeing the dr. on a weekly basis!

Here are some new pics of Amaya.

I told Amaya to "smile" and this is what I got!
