London Pics

London will be 3 weeks old tomorrow, so I think it's time for a post. At her 2 week check-up my little piggy weighed in at 8 lb. 1 oz and measured 21.2 inches long. She sure loves to eat. London is the sleepiest little baby ever. I swear the first 2 weeks she slept non-stop. I had to wake her up every single time to nurse. Even in the night. Unfortuanltly I see this slowly ending. She still sleeps a ton but not like those first 2 weeks. This is so differnt from Sadie. Sadie kept us up all night long and I never thought I would ever sleep again. So it's nice having a little slug. But for some reason even though she has been sleeping through the night, I am still so dang tired all the time. 2 kids sure wears me out. I don't think I ever realized how easy I had it with one kid. I feel like I have been in survival mode the past 3 weeks, I am finally starting to get the hang of things. It didn't help that when London was only 10 day's old, Mark left for a week to go listen to Dental lectures in Mississippi, and he left on my birthday which made for a super emotional week. I am so glad I am not a single mom, that was pure torture. I am so glad he is home now and I am semi-sane again. But anyway I am loving having London in our family, she really is such a little sweetie. Every morning when Sadie wakes up, first thing she asks is "where is baby onion?" And we run into my room and wake that slug up. And then the rest of the day Sadie basically ignores her. With an occasional "where is baby onion?" London is a really mellow, easy baby, I feel so blessed. It is a little hard to spend as much time with her as I did with Sadie, just because I am juggling 2 girls. I feel like she already is growing too fast and I need to enjoy every little second. I sure love my little angels. Here are some pictures of my little cutie pie over the past few weeks... Lots more to come.





It was hard to get some with her eyes open because she was always asleep. Oh, I think she so stinkin' cute!!





I love her chubby cheeks and double chin!









This is one of London's classic looks that she likes to give. The squinty eye, the furrowed brow, the curled lip... classic, classic, classic.


and one of her big sister.
