Life with a baby


Sorry we haven't had an update.
So changing to life with a baby really has been easy. almost seems too easy. Sawyer really is wonderful. She's mostly happy, hardly ever cries, eats great (i am breast feeding and was worried how it would go but it's super easy) and sleeps really well, sleeping anywhere between 4 to 7 hours at night which i guess is amazing for a baby this new. Sawyer really isn't too demanding. She is a little fussy every now and then but it's only when she's had gas or when she really wants her binky, which she LOVES. She is all about her binky! It's definitely nice because if she's upset at all you just give her the binky and she's perfectly fine, or pick her up and hold her, she loves to be held. She makes great faces and noises all the time. It's fun just watching and listening to her. She can be a squirmer and moves a lot but at the same time is very calm. I just look at her all the time thinking how beautiful and wonderful she is. It's so unreal that she's even here really. Sometimes i don't even remember going through labor or can even believe that it happened. When i first saw her i was in complete disbelief. Really labor wasn't too terribly bad in my mind, the stitches are what are awful! I hate them! but I'll deal with them because I now have a great daughter. that's another thing saying i have a daughter, actually saying it, is so weird too me. It's hard to think of myself as a parent. It's true but it's just so hard to grasp that fact! But things have been great besides money but thats something i'm not wanting to talk about here or stress about. love you all

Sawyer

So Sawyer Mae Lynn Roberts finally is here August 2nd 9:32pm. She was 6lbs 8oz and 19 1/4 inches at 5 days overdue! lol She has been really great and loved being with her daddy. He kept just starring at him and when she got a little fussy he would just give her a couple kisses and she would be find. We enjoyed the few days we had together before Micah had to leave for training. He left the 6th for 12 days of medic training in Wisconsin. We were all sad to be separated so soon. luckily Sawyer is a wonderful baby and isn't too much work. she sleeps well and eats well. she gives me time to rest and relax and doesn't cry very much. she's easy to please for the time being which i know is God helping us. it would be hard to deal with if she were to fussy and micah was gone. so i know i'm blessed. most questions i've had have either been easy fixes or answered themselves. So sawyer and i have not done much besides relax at home. We did travel to lincoln to see micah off though and see my brother and sister-in-law. my mom drove though she had a apppointment because she is moving there sometime this month. well here are a few picture of our first week! o and we had sawyer's first week appointment today. She is back to 6lbs 5oz she left the hospital at 6lbs 3oz and she has stretched out an inch to 20 1/4. the doctor (Tim Davy) said she's close to perfect. Her feeding schedule is really good and she's sleeping really well. now all we need to for our family to be together for awhile. I can't wait to pick up micah next tuesday.
