Matt and I had great plans to attend church Easter Sunday, but then thought we'd better make her first church visit a non holiday. I knew it would be super crowded and as soon as we got there I would need to feed her again and would end up missing most of the mass. We did listen to praise songs on our way to Matt's parents house; Grandma Ruth hooked me up with all of her good cd's. We recently registered as members of St. Vincent de Paul which is right down the street, so we hope to attend soon. Our last visit was for Christmas Eve mass.
We were up bright and early at 7:30 eating breakfast, getting ready, taking pictures of Reese in her Easter dress and preparing a dish for lunch.
It was all we could do to get out of the house by 11:30 to arrive at Noon (we were a little late).
Here is Reese in one of her Easter dresses. I think we are getting pretty good at this picture posing thing, but I do plan to get professional photos taken soon.
On the way to Pat and Joe's, Reese didn't sleep, but just hung out and talked to herself. She didn't get fussy until we were almost there. Once we arrived and took her out of her carrier we realized why she was fussy. She had a major poopy diaper which leaked out all over her pretty dress and down into her car seat! Yes, it was bad. Everyone jumped in to help clean up the mess. Matt carried Reese to Pat's room, and helped me start to change her while Mom and Joe took the car seat apart so the covers and pads could be thrown in the wash. While I went through 20 something wipes and put Reese in her second Easter dress, Matt and Pat washed out the car seat as best they could. Joe came and got her dirty dress from me and put it in the wash with her car seat stuff. I realized that I wouldn't be able to finish off her newborn diapers which go up to 10 lbs and would need to break out the size 1's as soon as we got home! I really should have put her in them sooner, but just found out she was 10 lbs 8 oz last week. :)
Here we are, Reese in her clean dress.
Here is Reese with her surrogate Great Grandmother, Nita. Nita was best friends with Grandma and Grandpa Sicinski who are now watching Reese from heaven.
Pretty Girl!
Reese with her Great Aunt Sharon.
It's funny how having a baby changes everything. It's the greatest change, but I realized (again) that our lives will never be the same. Everything revolves around sweet Reese. While we ate lunch, she was napping on the chair and started fussing, so I got up and tended to her and ended up bringing her to the table with me. I also had to step away for 45 minutes to feed her for the second time since we had arrived (Mom fed her a bottle the first time). Then when we left, I made the rounds to make sure we had everything: blankets, bottles, pacifier, bibs, etc. etc. She is so worth it!
Reese, Mommy and Daddy love you very much! Happy Easter sweetie!
