Little Feet!

The girls were hanging out on the bed the other day and I was just amazed at the difference between the two...just a couple of weeks ago, everything with McKenna seemed so small still...and now everything seems amazingly big...mind you McKenna's feet are still a very small size 5 for a two year old...and Landree's are just tiny!!!

Dancing with Daddy...

Just a few pictures of McKenna, hanging out, looking cool with a video of her dancing around with her Daddy.

Introducing Landree Kate Anderson

Landree Kate Anderson was born via repeat c-section on Thursday October 2nd at 8:29 a.m. She was 7lbs 8oz and 20 inches long. The surgery went well and it was good that things happened when they did as my placenta was starting to fail, so Landree was born right on time. I spent a little more time in recovery than I would have liked, but they had me back with Jake and Landree by a little after 10am. She was smaller than predicted but that was good...it showed how well I did controlling my diabetes...I was ready for something sweet after that, that is for sure! Jake's sister brought McKenna by 11am and she was asleep...Landree gave a little cry and that woke up big sister, looking around a little confused at first but taking to her new little sister like a fish to water. She was just in love from the start. She isn't so sure she wants her momma breastfeeding her but she will get over it. We had lots of family come visit while we enjoyed our stay at the hospital but by Sunday we were deffinitly missing McKenna and our bed and choose to leave a day early. Everyone is deffinitly tired and we are all still adjusting but things are going well...I am a little sore but that is to be expected.

The craziest thing about our delivery day though is that one of our good friends had been expecting too...although his wife wasn't due until Nov. 5th. They were actually supposed to come visit us at the hospital on Friday, but midway through the 2nd Jake got a text message from them saying she was in labor. At first we thought it was a joke, as Jake and him kid often, but no she was indeed in labor. We were all concerned at first as she was so early...but their son is doing just fine and had no issues due to his premature birth...the craziest part, is he was born exactly 10 hours to the minute after Landree at 6:29pm and the stats were identical, but one pound apart, he was 6lbs 8oz and 20 inches...who knows, maybe they are destined for marriage...LOL.

So for now we are all just enjoying our time together and I will be back often with how both kiddo's are doing.

Last Day as a family of three!

So today is the last day that our little family will consist of just three members. That is right folks the time has finally come. At this time tomorrow we will be a family of four. McKenna will be staying with Jake's sister tonight as the c-section is scheduled for 8am and we have to be at the hospital at 6:30. So today we are taking McKenna to gymnastics class, getting some laundry done and just enjoying our quiet time together...well as quiet as it gets with a two year old. I will try to get back on later to post pictures of McKenna at her gymnastics class...if not we will see you all again when our family is complete as a family of four. I will not be able to show off little Miss Landree until at least Sunday...even though the hospital has Wi-Fi, Jake has nixed the laptop from entering the hospital grounds...in his words, this will be an internet free birth!!! LOL. So wish us well and we will be happy to accept visitors any time after 1pm or so tomorrow, we will be at South County Hospital if you weren't sure.
