Thanksgiving! Yum!
















Ok, so even though half of our family ditched out on our Thanksgiving we still had fun. We also now have a ton of left over turkey! That is ok though because that means we get to make lots of turkey sandwiches! Samantha got to have her first Thanksgiving (she slept most of the time) but she looked cute doing it. Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Logan came to visit. We have been having a great time with them. In fact they made me laugh so hard last night I thought that I was going to rupture my belly! Anyway, here are some pics from our cozy Vegas Thanksgiving! Hope all of you had a great day!

We love Grandma!







I am very lucky to have such a wonderful mother. She came and stayed for a week and was such a huge help. I don't know how any new mom could ever survive the first week without any help. So thanks so much mom! Not only do I have a great mom who was there for me, but I also have a wonderful husband who was there for me too. We had a great first week. Mom was a huge help. We took Samantha to her first doctor's appointment today and I am proud to report that she is back to her birth weight and then some! Plus the doctor said that she is just perfect. So Yeah! On a funny note, almost every time we change her diaper she will pee or poop while we are in the process of changing her diaper. Today for instance. I opened her diaper and left it there because she is known to go while in mid change and I reached for a wipe I look back and there is poop flying over the diaper and all over the changing table. I had no idea that poop could actually fly that far! I have hear of projectile vomitting, but not projectile poop! So I am definitly being broken into the mommy role real quick!

Samantha Mae Higgs
















Ok everyone, She is here! Samantha Mae Higgs was born on Sunday, November 16th at 10:04 am. She was 8 pounds 2 ounces and 20.5 inches long. She has tons of dark hair and has long fingers and toes. She is just as cute as a button. She is such a sweet baby and we are hooked! Both Von and I are just smitten with our little girl. We got to leave the hospital on Tuesday and bring her home. It is so nice to be out of the hopsital. I was there from Friday to Tuesday and that is way too long! I tried to have her naturally but my body would not cooperate, so they did a c-section. It is still pretty painful and hard to get around, but lucky for me I have a great husband and a wonderful mom who came to help out. So we are doing well. Here are some pics of our sweet little girl!
