Grandparents meet Sawyer

So this past weekend Micah's parents were up and got to meet Sawyer for the first time. Though part of the visit got interesting, overall it was a really good visit. I love spending time with any of micah's family so it was great for me. Sawyer just loved her GranJan and Grampy. We got to go out for a couple meals and also were able to enjoy some of mom's great cooking. Micah loved the liver tacos! and i'm learning to enjoy much broader types of food as well as learning to cook better! It was nice that they were able to make the trip up here and see micah before he leaves (the 15th)

So micah and i bought into and are now part owners of a comic book/gaming store. its just a small business that will give us a little extra for savings while micah is away and will keep me busy and make time go a little faster. it's a big hang out spot for people so i'll be able to be around people and still be constantly with my family because sawyer (and casey) will be coming to the shop with me everyday. Sawyer is growing really big. She's still in newborn clothes but they are about too small i'm starting to rotate in some 0-3 month clothes only the smaller ones tho because some she is swimming in. She smiles constantly and talks and moves a lot. She's really fun to be around. She found out she can hit the little toys hanging from her car seat and gets really happy doing it though she misses a lot and her movement is still slightly awkward. on the 5th she rolled over from her stomach to her back but i haven't seen her do it since.

1 month!

Happy one month birthday Sawyer!... so today Sawyer is officially one month old. she's getting a lot bigger she fits all her newborn clothing very well now. when she first arrived everything was very big on her. she probably won't fit into them much longer. she is so much fun though. she's such a joy. she's being a little more fussy but i'm trying to push her feedings apart a little more and she's not really a fan of it. Her daddy is absolutely in love with her. it's so fun to watch. it breaks his heart whenever she cries (which isn't very often thankfully) it makes me so happy to see that the love has increased so much with the addition of sawyer. i think it's safe to say that she has improved our lives.

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.
