Our First Week

 In case you missed it our baby girl number 5 was born on Friday March 18th at 11:16 am, she weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 19 inches long. 

It's hard to believe Parker has been in our lives for a week already, it seems as though she has always been part of our family. She is a wonderful baby; she very rarely cries unless she is getting her diaper changed or if mommy waits too long to feed her. She is very content and is a great sleeper... Every once in a while when she fusses a cuddle will settle her right down. And that's just fine with us we will take all the cuddles we can get.

Her big sisters are completely smitten with her and it's always a race to see who holds her first. Charlotte and Olivia typically end up in bed with myself and daddy in the morning and their first question is "I hold Parker?" every single time. They almost always tell her they love her in their sweetest little voices. The smile that crosses their faces when they see her is so much more than I could have ever imagined. 

The biggest sisters are just as in love with her. They have not disappointed when it comes to helping out. They love to dress and change her, cuddle her, and shower her with tons of kisses. 

I absolutely knew this little one would fit perfectly with our family and she is so much more than I imagined she would be. I can't stop staring at her when she's sleeping, eating, or just laying there looking around. In just 9 short days we can already see the bond between her sisters and she has most certainly strengthened the bond within our family. We are so completely blessed to have her in our lives... We love you Parker Elaine
