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.

Congrats on your precious baby girl! I have 2 girls, so I am partial to pink!! My oldest was 9lbs 5 oz and 22in long, so I know all about those butterball babies, but just LOVE them!!! Enjoy her! The time flies!!!!
Congratulations, Lindsay! She is such a pretty girl.
So cute! Congratulations on your new little one!
It always seems impossible that you could love anyone as much as you love that first child, but somehow love multiplies exponentially when new children bless your home. Great joy to all of your family! Truly, children are a gift from the Lord.
Congratulations to the three of you on the most gorgeous addition to your family. She is just beautiful!

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!
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.
