Snow...blizzard...ugh

These pictures are from yesterday when I was just mad at the weather, so much so that I closed my curtains and refused to look at it anymore!  People in Colorado kept telling me it was 60 degrees and so nice there and this was the weather we had after finally having a nice day on Thursday.  I wanted to be in Colorado so bad with Scott but just thought it would be too hard to travel that far with Alexa so little.  I'm ready for warmer weather not more snow!

Family Fun Night

Each year the school PTO puts on a Family Fun Night.  This year is was the week after we had Alexa, Scott had literally just walked in the door from coming back from Utah so I took the boys.  This was my first real outing since having the baby!  I was glad that it was just down the street and that it wasn't very long!  I got overwhelmed easily...we walked into the gym and there is constant balloons being popped by the activity that you see above!  Kids are everywhere doing different activities.  I quickly found an empty place along the wall and counted my blessings that I didn't have to help with any of this!  I will gladly help with the book fair!  The boys had fun and were ready to go home once they had won a book! 

More of Alexa!

Sunday afternoon...6 days old

Her sleeping tonight!

Smiling last night...

I didn't have internet over the weekend and I got the disk of pictures from the hospital.  The nurses will dress the baby in the take home outfit and take pictures for you.  They put them on the hospital website (with your permission of course) and then mail you the disk of all of them.  I wasn't sure what all would be put on the website but it was just one so I wanted to add some to the blog that I thought were cute!  Then of course we've taken some over the weekend that I liked too!  She is a sweet calm baby and I hope she stays that way!  I need to get some sleep while she is sleeping right now but wanted to quickly add these!

The boys coming to meet their sister!  Brody and Zander were so excited to come!  Since she was born before school started and Nana had arrived in the night we let the boys skip school for the day!  (They shouldn't have had school because it was Presidents Day but our school district took Friday off instead because it was state wrestling!)  Brody and Zander thought she was so cute!  Gage acknowledged that there was a baby but was more interested in anything he could climb or any button he could push in the room!

Wide awake!

Here are a couple of pictures of her wide awake at the hospital.  So far she has a very calm demeanor.  Doesn't cry much, calms down fast and easy if she does cry and loves to be cuddled up and warm!

And she's here!

Cuddling with Mom!

Loving the warmer!

Alexa Maelee arrived very quickly Monday morning!  The induction was scheduled, we needed to be at the hospital by 5 am! (ugh).  Started the medicine to induce at 6 and she was born at 7:52 am!  She was 7 lbs 8 oz and 21 inches long!  She was much bigger than any of the boys!
