And then there was four...

I also wanted to mention our little Sadie too. I wondered often about whether or not we would ever have more kids. I hoped very much that Eliza wouldn't be an only child. Well, I didn't have to wonder long... When Eliza was six months old I found out that I was 6.5 weeks pregnant. When Eliza was 14 months old, our little Sadie was born. They adore each other. I am so happy these sisters have one another and David and I are delighted we have both of them!

I didn't particularly enjoy being sick but I am glad I had the chance to experience carrying a baby. The ultrasounds and feeling the baby move was fun. I had an amazing epidural and I didn't feel anything. So, post-epidural I really enjoyed having the baby. It was easy for me to push her out, I didn't even break a sweat, literally. I actually look forward to giving birth again, but I am not as anxious to feel 24 hour sickness.

The top photo is Newborn Sadie. The bottom photo is my sister, Molly's, son, Wyatt. Don't these cousins look similar as newborns?!

Yes they do. I was thinking that you should start every blog with Dear Amanda. (BTW, it has nothing to do with the birth mom.)

LOL. You have a good memory, Molly. For those of you interested, when I was 10, I named my journal, Amanda. I began each journal entry with, "Dear Amanda, or Dear Mandy." I was a creative little child.

You are so funny to name your journal! You STILL are quite creative!

I am glad you posted Sadie's story too. She is a joy to watch grow, even from this far away!
