Baby sister Nora is here!

By
On Tuesday night around 9pm, I was sitting on the couch working on a presentation that I had to do the next morning when I distinctly heard a pop noise and then felt some warm gushing between my legs. I hopped up and ran (well, waddled really) to the bathroom with Scott following closely behind. Yup, my water broke!

Lucky for us, Lauren is a great friend and offered to come over to watch Evie while we went to the hospital. She snapped the last pic of me preggo just as we were headed out.

Who's belly is bigger?

We got to the hospital just before midnight, and by about 5:15am, I was asking for an epidural. This delivery moved WAAAAAAY faster than with Evie. I am lucky we had an awesome nurse named Andrea because once she realized I wasn't faking how much the contractions were hurting, she moved quickly to get the anesthesiologist over and get the room all ready for the doc. As soon as Dr Ruiz, the on-call doc that night, walked in, I was ready to push.

Presenting: Nora Juliette Simpson!
Arrived at 6:11am
6 lbs 3 oz
18.5 inches long

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

By
We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
