Happy St Patricks Day!

Happy St Patricks Day & 5 weeks!

It's so hard to believe we are already to 5 weeks! That means I have to go back to work at the end of next week. I am excited to get back to work, to add that part of life to our routine. I am super bummed about leaving my little girl though... especially since I don't have a sitter yet. Thank goodness for grandmas who are willing to come stay with Sadie while I work the first couple of weeks!

I can't believe how much Sadie has grown over the last 5 weeks. She is still in newborn clothes and diapers but it is very obvious she is growing quickly. Her hands and feet seem so much bigger and she has some meet on her bones these days... not much but it seems like it compared to when she was born. She continues to be more alert and work on focusing on faces and objects and grasping things. She is a strong lil lady and loves to prove it by holding her head up more and more every day.

We had another big weekend last weekend. Sadie and I made our first road trip by ourselves to Iowa of course. It went well but we missed Daddy and all of his help and snuggles! I am pretty sure Daddy missed his girls quite a bit as well.

My sister, Megan, and Clint's sister, Jen, had a baby shower for Sadie. It was so perfect... a traditional tea with yummy food and extremely yummy cupcakes!!! Some of Clint's family was able to travel from IL/WI to meet Sadie which meant a lot to us. Many of my family members were also able to come as well as some close friends, most of which I worked with previously.

We stayed at Megan & Rob's house and cousin Miley was beside herself with the excitement of baby Sadie being there. She is a big help with Sadie and gives her lots of love. I have a feeling these two are going to get in to a lot of trouble as they grow up!

We had the opportunity to meet Ben this weekend. Ben is the son of my friend Lindsey. He was born 2 days after Sadie but is a little over 2lbs bigger then her. At this age 2lbs seems like 20! We enjoyed seeing them (and everyone that was able to make it to dinner).

I was able to take Sadie to meet my grandparents on my mom's side as well over the weekend. She also met a lot of friends! We skipped FMH & the hospital this time for fear we would never get back out the door but will stop in next time we are in town.
