Photo Shoot Part 2

The kids are gone, I loved having the house full of noise and loved having everyone home. The weather was a little rainy but the main goal was to hold a baby and I think everyone, except Tim and McKenzie, had the baby quite a bit. I finished editing the pictures that Katie took last Friday, there were a ton of pictures and I kept thinking, "This should be enough" but I would open the next one on our list and it was just as cute with  a different little expression. So here are the rest of Molly's pictures. It was hard to narrow it down from the over 800 pictures.

 Tim's grandma had made a whole bunch of pillow cases with beautiful embroidery and Tim's mom turned one into a dress from Molly.

Photo Shoot Take 1

We did a little photo shoot with Molly today it was quite the ordeal it took all 4 adults to hold the backdrop, maybe we just all wanted to be involved. Little Molly was a awake for the first little bit and not very cooperative, but once she fell asleep we were able to get quite a few good shots. I let Katie take the lead and this was her first official photo shoot!

 Molly 9 days old!

 

Baby Pictures

Here are a few of the pictures I took of Molly about an hour after she was born. She was so pink and plump, and still pretty swollen.

 Kelsie is really happy to be an aunt and to be living in the same house as the baby.

Avrie could not come into the birthing center because she was too young and was so happy when they came home today and she could hold Molly, she told me it was worth the wait.
Molly has jaundice not too severe but enough that they are keeping a close eye on her. She is a very sleepy baby and needs to be woken up to eat, that is why she has no clothes on. She only cries when she is being changed. We were trying to make her uncomfortable enough to wake up, it worked. She is so sweet we are all in love with our new baby girl Molly.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Molly Michelle Rapoza! Born at 2:38 pm weighing in at 8lbs 4oz and 20.5 inches long.

She came on her due date, and came out perfect. She looks exactly like McKenzie did, little round cheeks, little dimples. We only caught a glimpse of her eyes and they were blue.  Here is the weird thing, McKenzie's labor started about the same time of night as mine did with her. She arrived at the hospital about the same time I arrived at the hospital to have McKenzie,  and she was born at the exact time McKenzie was 2:38 pm. McKenzie weighed 8lbs 2oz, and was 21 inches long. She is sweet and we love her to death already! It was a long day waiting for her to come but so worth the wait. 

Good Intentions

I have had really good intentions of blogging more, I am just failing at that. I set a goal to deep clean my house this week, in my spare time,  and I failed at that as well. Spare time is something I am in short supply of right now. I don't know why I set the goal to clean, but I did manage to get all the dishes done everyday, and the laundry done, I will count that as a small success. I have several part-time jobs going on right now, only one of them is paying so the rest are my non-jobs but they keep me pretty busy and I am trying hard to stay on top of all of them. I am taking a math class right now and I knew I wasn't the smartest kid on the block but nothing like relearning algebra to make a person feel more dumb, that is where I have been spending my spare time. I am working about 20 hours a week and doing my CASA stuff about 30 hours a month, school, church, mom, and wife. I enjoy being busy, and I am enjoying all my jobs and non-jobs. I am really looking forward to my newest job, GRANDMA!!! Only 10 days or so...we are all really excited. I don't even have any cute pictures to post...yet!
