Sadie testing out Mom's Shoes

This is the first video post with much room for improvement but it works for now. Already into Mom's shoes although she has been caught in my running shoes. For that matter, if there is a shoe...Sadie's foot will be in it. Guaranteed!

Pictures of Carlie

So Carlie is only 5 weeks old and already neglected. We have pictures of her but not a ton. Sadie however had a million pictures by this age. Now I know why I have no pictures of me as a kid....I'm the youngest. I TOTALLY understand now mom. HAHAHA! I'm going to try and do better but here are a few we did get.

I've caught her 3 times now sucking her thumb. It will be interesting to see if she turns out to be a thumb sucker. The poor thing had mits on her hands for the first few weeks of life because she kept scratching herself.....she may have just been trying to find her thumb!

So Sweet!

Carlie's Two Week Stats.....Late

These are a little late....only 3 weeks.

Head: 14.25 in (54%tile)
Weight: 8.22 lbs (44%tile)
Length: 20.85 in (69%tile)

Personality that packs a punch!

I know everyone brags about their kids...bla...bla...bla but I just have to say that it amazes me each and everyday how much personality Sadie packs. It truly is a blessing to have such a fun and happy girl in the house. She is quite the character who loves to sing and dance even though she sounds a little drunk while singing....hmmm...what is Nat putting in her sippy cup???

Sadie in B & W

It was a pretty hot weekend that kept us inside for the most part but Sunday the weather was much nicer so we decided to venture outside with the little ladies to enjoy the cooler weather. I got the chance to snap some pictures of Sadie and caught this shot. Very serious. For just $.50 a day you can feed this child.

Carlie's First Bath

Grandma B. came over to give Carlie her first bath. It is was so much fun to get her all cleaned up and smelling sweet. She cried a little bit but already has come to love bath time. The only part she hates is when you wash her face!

Bell Tower

Last Monday we all needed to get out of the house so Mike decided we should go up to the BYU Bell Tower and let Sadie feed the ducks and swim. It was a great idea! Mom and Carlie sat in the shade and relaxed while Dad and Sadie fed the ducks and played in the water. I believe that Sadie could spend a whole day there if we let her.....she had a blast. The best part is that she was worn out and ready for bed by the time we left.

This one was taken as we were getting ready to leave and had her wet clothes off.
Feeding the ducks!

This little duck got very daring and came close.

Carlie Mae King

Natalie and I finally decided that our new baby girls name will be Carlie Mae King. After much thought and recommendations from family and friends....well....it just seem to have a nice ring to it. Sadie met her lil sis for the first time this afternoon and shared kisses and hugs with her to welcome her to the family. Pictures coming soon.

Newest Edition to the King Family

Our new little baby girl was born today, July 22, 2009 at 3:09am. She weighed in at 7.9 lbs and was 19" long.

This delivery went MUCH faster than Sadie's which took 26 hours of labor before she decided to show up. Although it was much quicker it was much more painful with respect to labor pains. I was pretty sure Nat was going to tear the guard rails off the bed and start flinging them around. Natalie started with labor pains at around 7pm yesterday. Natalie decided to egg on the labor by washing the outside of the windows to the house and then vacuuming our carpet about 7 times. I don't believe there is any carpet left at this point. I went to bed at 11:45am to be woken by Nat saying that we needed to get to the hospital. I think we were in the car and driving before I was awake. I was pretty hasty considering our neighbor didn't make it to their hospital in time and ended up delivering in the hallway at another hospital. So to avoid encountering that situation I ran all red lights and was going about 90 on the highway...good thing it was 1am in the morning. We got to the hospital around 1:38am...not to be exact or anything...where Nat was admitted. The Anesthesiologist...aka Candyman...got in about 2:20am and administered the epidural which apparently, from the screaming of Natalie, was too little to late. During her cries of agony through each contraction I felt a bit light headed and almost passed out. Nice. First time I have ever felt that and instead of headbutting the side of the bed or the floor informed the nurses who helped me sit down and recover. It's pretty embarrassing when your not doing anything with respect to giving birth and then you almost pass out. Sad. Once I recovered I was back in the game. Delivery started just a bit after 3am our new daughter pop into the world at 3:09am. Here are a few pics of her...
