While you were sleeping...

While you were sleeping, we were not! Here's our schedule of events from last night:

10pm - I woke up from a nap (thanks Steve for taking over and sending me to bed!!)

11:15pm - I fed Jillian

12:15am - finally get Jillian to sleep after some fussing

1:15am - Jillian wakes up again and is hungry! Feed baby....

3:15am - we hear her fussing and check on her. She's fussing in her sleep, no need for action. Phew!

4:50am - Now she's hungry again, and I feed her the first breakfast of the day

5:50am - finally finished eating and got her back to sleep. All in a nights work....

A very Great Aunt and Uncle

Jillian has been so lucky to receive so many visitors! About a week after she was born, she got a visit from her GREAT Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dale and cousin Taylor! They came all the way from Columbus to meet her!! Here they are meeting our sweet girl:

Thanks for visiting our sweet pea - we love you!

Girlfriends

Jillian met some of her gal pals yesterday! She met Elise, who is 2 and so cute and funny, and Stella, who is just 4 months old and has such a beautiful smile! We hope they will be as good of friends as their mamas are! Thanks to my gal pal Julia for hosting us and allowing Jillian to test out the full range of her vocal cords while at your house....! #poorlytimedfeedings #forgotpacifier #rookiemistake

Jillian meets her cousins!!!

Jillian met her cousins on Labor Day and she LOVES them!! It was so sweet to watch our favorite little buddies meet our sweet girl. They were so excited to meet her and love her!

they could barely wait to meet Jillian - I just finished feeding her and they were running up to meet her right away!

Proud Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen!

Big girl Addie and her baby cousin!

all 5 cousins together! (looove Olivia's face!)

Sam and Jillian! (at one point during my pregnancy he guessed that I was having a dog when we asked him for his gender guess. I'm sure glad he was wrong!)

Jillian's shirt says it all!

Hiccups, a stroll, and a sneeze!

A day in the life of Jillian!

Jillian's first few hours! (So I'm a little behind in blogging...)

I'm behind in my blogging. Can't imagine why! Here are some pics from the very beginning. Just a few hours before I went into labor, Steve and I enjoyed one last nice dinner at Embers - one of our favorite restaurants! We went all out and got dessert and everything - it was awesome!

Then about an hour or two after we got home, my contractions started! (good thing we didn't wait another weekend before our big dinner out - we never would have made it!) Then fast forward a few hours to 6:21am on Sunday and Jillian was here! You can see my previous post on that, but here are some pics from her first few hours of life!
