Easter Sunday 2014

After waking to baskets full of yummy treats, we didn't have much time to get ready for 9 am church. So, as soon as everyone got home I snapped a quick pic before changing to play clothes for a fun time at Grandpa and Grandma Blomstedts. This was also Natalie's first Sunday to attend Church, even though I only lasted through Sacrament Meeting and Matthews first talk in Primary!

Silly Faces!

Four Generations

Grandpa and Grandma Seifer came to visit us and meet Natalie. This picture has four generations including Natalie, Joe, his Mom and her parents. 

Great Grandma Iona Seifer is also the namesake for Natalie's middle name. Joe has always looked up to his grandparents and we found the name fitting. 

Welcome Home

We were welcomed home with open arms and lots of smiles! 

I thought it was neat that the kids helped make a sign and had gotten some balloons. It was their very sweet way of throwing a party! It was such a surprise to me because we only gave them 2 hours notice that we were on our way home. Everyone thought I would be there one more day but after the IV came out I didn't see much of a need to stay and decided I could manage oral pain pills at home! Besides it was the perfect 70 degree day to come home because the next day it was snowing!

Aunt Katie also was able to hold Natalie but I don't have a picture of it and Grandma Blomstedt stopped by with aunt Janet that evening and I failed to bring out the camera. 

She is here :)

 Natalie Iona Blomstedt was born on April 10 at 6 :08 pm.

 She weighed 5 pounds 15.6 ounces and 19 inches long. 

Arriving in the Nursery. 

I was able to take a quick peek at her before she was taken to the nursery to be cleaned up and examined.  

 30 minutes later I was taken to the hospital room where Joe and Natalie awaited my arrival. My Mom, Grandma and Sister also came up to see us. We had a good time visiting for a while. 

I think they were both a little excited to see me coming back to the room! Notice I am being wheeled in through the door.

Our hospital stay was fairly short. Everything went well with the C-Section and we were able to come home for lunch on Saturday. 

Sometimes waiting is hard!

We are happy to share news of baby #3!

We are all excited. Lindsay is most excited, every couple days I get asked when the baby will come out of my tummy. She has heard the heartbeat and was able to come to the ultrasound and LOVED it!

Baby "n" is due on April 24, 2014.
