Thank Goodness for Grandmas!

We've been lucky enough to have visits from both of Alexis' grandmas in the last week! My mom originally wasn't planning on coming to visit until the 18th of December due to her busy work schedule...but she just couldn't stay away! Alexis was born on Tuesday and she bought a ticket to come visit the very next day. The best part is...she didn't tell me!! Needless to say I was shocked when she walked through my front door on Saturday! We had a great 24 hours together, and I'm so excited she will be back this coming Saturday, for a whole week this time!



Ben's mom also came to visit this past week. I was so grateful to have her here! She was such a huge help. Who knew taking care of a newborn was SO time consuming...not to mention a little isolating, when all you do is sit at home alone feeding your baby all day! It was so great to have the company, and the help! We haven't eaten that well in months!


I'm on my own this week, since Ben is back at work, and my family doesn't get here till the weekend. I'm honestly wondering how people do it alone. Having a newborn is a BIG JOB! It's a good thing Alexis is so dang cute...because between the marathon feedings, constant diaper changes and lack of sleep at night, I might be feeling a little down at this point. But the fact that I get to cuddle with the most adorable little girl all day every day kind of makes all the tough stuff worth it!

(And yes, in case you were wondering, we were having a picnic in 80 degree weather in the middle of December!)

We are having so much fun with our new little girl! We can't seem to get enough of her.
It's great to be home from the hospital and to be able to spend some quality time together, just the three of us.

We are so grateful Alexis is happy, healthy, and a part of our family!
