Yesterday Mark’s sister Maria brought over her kids, Analiece and Joey to finally meet Sam. Analiece has been just going crazy waiting to meet her. I remember when I was only about 17 or 18 weeks and we had just found out that Sam was a girl, Analiece was so excited to have another little girl cousin in the family. I think she started asking me when the baby was coming right away and kept asking me almost every time I saw her. Analiece couldn’t wait to have another little girl she could play with and teach how to do things.
When she finally got to meet Sam yesterday she was very sweet and very gentle with her. She touched her very softly on her arms and legs and held her super tightly when she was allowed to hold her in her lap. Maria kept telling her to keep her arm very still so as not to jar Sam’s head or neck and Analiece was as still as a statue. I took off Sam’s socks so Analiece could see her tiny feet and she played the “This little piggy…” game with her. It was so adorable : ) I hope Sam is close with all her cousins as she grows up. I know Mark and I wish our cousins lived closer so we could see each other more.

I can’t believe how fast the time is blowing by. She will be almost 3 weeks old soon. I look at her and feel like she was just born. Every day I think she is more and more beautiful : )
Yesterday her birth cerficate came in the mail. Yet another little thing that for some reason was really exciting, and I have no idea why. I guess it’s just more concrete proof that she is here. I swear, sometimes, I still don’t feel like having her is real. We waited so long for her, to actually have her with us seems like a dream.
A while ago, I posted pictures of Mark in the bassinet that his grandfather made for him to sleep in when he was born. We have been putting Sam to sleep there every night since she came home. Eventually, she will graduate to her full size crib, but right now, I think she likes being cozy in her tiny bed, her trusty pacifer not far from her head. God forbid you lose that thing! We have them all over the house! She really can’t sleep well at night without being swaddled tightly like she is here, and she usually likes her pacifier right when she goes to sleep. She LOVES her pacifier — she looks just like Maggie from the Simpsons when she has it. It cracks us up.
Here is Sam with Mark’s mom and dad. Such proud, happy grandparents!
I think I’ve mentioned before that the kitties have been so good since she came home. They haven’t acted out at all, and they don’t show any resentment toward her even when they want food or attention and I have to feed or change her first. As you can see, they are being very good to her : ) I think they are still confused as to exactly what the heck she is.
Muffin wanted a little mommy time, even if Sam was in the way of his cuddling.
Here is Sam with her proud daddy, chilling out in his recliner.
