I would like for you to meet the newest love of my life.
Emma Catherine arrived on Sunday, August 15th at 1:13 pm. She weighed in at 9 lbs 1 oz (bigger than her brother!) and measured 19 1/2 inches long.
Miss Em is absolutely perfect in every way. We are having the time of our lives with her, and Big Brother Zack is ridiculously smitten.
I have many, many sleepless nights ahead of me, as Emma’s theme song is “Up All Night, Sleep All Day.” Other than that, she’s tremendously easy. She only cries when she needs her diaper changed or when I haven’t recognized her hunger cues and she’s read to eat. We are really lucky.
There will be more pictures to come as I settle into my routine as a mom of 2. It’s been a shocking change to go from one child who’s pretty self-sufficient to having a newborn again. I’m figuring it out, though, and wouldn’t change my new life for anything.
These two are my whole world.
Sherri says
Awwww she is ADORAble! And Zack looks like he is taking that Big Brother duty with lots of love. Mine are 5 years apart. So I feel ya! Although now …both are grown. 🙁 Grandbabies are next for me! Take care of you also Mommy.

Hi there! I was digging through Centsational Girl’s old posts & found a link to your blog. How have I not found you before?? Your blog’s adorable!
Well, I just wanted to say hi because I write a craft blog too & also just had a baby girl on August 19th! I’ll be keeping an eye on you to see how you coping and if you’re finding time to craft. If you do I must insist that you send me the secret!
Lindsay says
Congrats to you, Natasha! How’s it going with your little one?
I haven’t gotten back to crafting yet – my mommy brain is such mush that I would be certain to have glue gun burns! Maybe soon.
