    she's here...

     
    the misses showed up 10 days early...here are the standard details:
    Sadie Mindea (pronounced Min-day-a)
    Sunday, June 1st
    7 lbs, 6.8 oz / 20 inches
     
    now, why do people feel the need to relay the weight/length of newborns...isn't it a lil odd when you really think about it?  'hey - meet my kid - here's her weight and height."  maybe it's bc honestly, what else are you going to relay?  i suppose you could say 'my new kid is bald / has x-hair color' or maybe you relay 'my kid pooped or cried x-# of minutes after birth' or maybe you should make predictions of what you think the kid will be when it grows up...that'd  clearly open up reasons for kids to not reach the potential expected of them...which they'll tell their future therapist.  
     
    ok...so, here i go...
    • Sadie has loads of hair and it's my color and is full of crazy curls when wet.
    • she pooped as soon as i pushed her out
    • she didn't cry for quite some time, which freaked us out...but, maybe that should be a sign of a mellow child.  :)
    • i predict she'll be a professional athlete and i'll choose soccer bc i don't know how to play it.  (kinda the same deal with Aiden - he already can spell more words than i can at age 3, so my guess is he'll be that spelling bee kid and i'll be the mom that can't help him prepare bc without the invention of spell check, i probably wouldn't be employed)

    anyway, all are doing well 2 weeks post-birth.  she's very easy thus far and is fitting into our lil clan very well.  Aiden is rather welcoming with her, which is nice.  my recovery is a gabillion times better due to the natural birth instead of the c-section this time around (thankfully!).  Jon is pumped to take every Friday off this summer to enjoy time with the fam.  so, overall, life is good - no complaints and we're completely enjoying and savoring each day.

    here are some shots...
