Sunshine, Angels, and Rainbows

Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog.  Life as we know it has gotten crazy with the lack of sleep and a crazy 3 year old.  As many of you know Saige Ashlyn Foley was born on February 6th at 9:45 at night.  She entered the world with her cord wrapped around her neck and refusing to cry.  She was fine, but they worried about her breathing for a day or so.  She was 6 pounds and 1 ounce and was 18.5 inches long.  By the time we had left the hospital she was down to 5 pounds and 11 ounces.  We did not know what to do with a baby so small.  We quickly relied on family to find us preemie diapers and clothes that fit her.  

Deliver went well she pretty much came out on her own as my doctor wasn't quite ready for her to come.  He was telling some story.  If you were to know my doctor this is pretty normal.  I love him dearly and he spent many hours while I was in labor with my family telling stories and jokes.  I had tested positive Group B Strep so I was on antibiotic while in labor.  I was induced that morning at 9 so labor took a little while.  I also was blessed to have the same nurse with me to help deliver Saige as was there when I had Asher.  It was so nice to share in this happy time with her.

Bringing Saige home was such a joy to all of us.  I was trying to be Super Mom, but I'm just not her I guess.  Others make it look so easy.  As much as I love Olivia she has been a bit challenging at times because she has way more energy than I do and since we have the same personality we can butt heads sometimes.  I really like sleep so not having that sleep has been hard on me.  Oh well it was all worth it. 

Saige is growing good ant is now almost 8 pounds.  She has had some trouble with digesting and stuff so we are on our fourth different kind of formula with her.  We hope to get it straighten out soon because it is super hard to see her cry in pain when she has a tummy ache.  We will be getting her baptized sometime soon.

 Things have been emotional.  I still miss Asher like crazy and I find myself feeling guilty for not going to see him at the cemetery as much as I like.  I still think about him all the time, but now my mind has to focus on Saige and Olivia.  I know he understands though.  He is watching down on us.  I know he is probably laughing at his dad having to deal with all these girls in the house!

I will try to keep everyone more up to date.  I hope things can settle down and the weather can warm up so I can send Olivia outside!
