40 weeks today!

Today was my due date, and it's hard to believe that Baby Eliza has been here for 2 weeks and 2 days already!  She has been an easy baby so far, just eating, sleeping and pooping!  She was almost back up to her birth weight (of 7 lb, 1 oz) at her 2 week check up yesterday, weighing in at 6 lb, 15.7 oz.  Lydia has been the most challenging as she struggles between loving the baby and wishing Mommy would put that baby down and play with her!  Mommy is recovering very well and would almost be 100% if she didn't have a cough/cold. 

We have been so blessed to have our church family and MOPS friends (Mothers of Preschoolers) bring us meals - before and after Eliza made her appearance!  Most importantly, either Nana Hopper or Nana Milne have been here staying with us helping us transition to a family of 6.  Thank you, Lord!

She loves having a real live baby!

 

Zachary loves being a big brother!

We've had Nana help since Eliza arrived which has been so helpful! 
We're so thankful to have family available for support!

Surprise welcome party from our Home Group! 
Thanks Wise and Sipes families!

Super-cute diaper cake!

Eliza's 1st soccer game at 4 days old!  It was too beautiful not to go watch the boys play.  And if you're wondering where sister Lydia is... she's probably sitting in the soccer goal and creating trouble...

Pop Hopper came up and met Eliza this past weekend.  She's declared her a "Perfect 10"! 
(Mostly b/c she's so sweet, but maybe also b/c she's his 10th grandchild...)

Just too precious for words!
