Here's a picture of Rachel doing a little smile in her sleep!
Aidan and Anna love her and they always want to sing to her or hold her hand. Aidan really loves to hold her
Having a snooze
So precious!
Aidan and Anna are a firetruck!
Here you can see how much Aidan loves his baby sister!
On November 29th Eric took Aidan and Anna to go and get a Christmas tree! We decorated it in the afternoon. They had fun with the stockings!
Anna kept putting all of her balls in a row!
Snuggles with Daddy. Rachel has a little cold, so she has been sleeping with us when she can't settle on her own.
Here the kids are opening another door on their advent calendar.
Rachel was baptised on Sunday December 7th. My mom held her for the baptism.
Merry Christmas! Here's a preview to the picture in my Christmas card picture this year!
Today I dressed Rachel up in her dress again so that I could get some better pictures of her in it!
This is one of Anna, can you see how much they look alike??
This is Rachel again!
Rachel is doing well, she has a little cold right now, but other than that she is good. In her first week and a half she was not gaining any weight She was at 9 pounds for over a week. So my midwife came every other day to weigh her as we tried different ways of feeding her. I was already pumping as she wouldn't latch, so she already took a bottle. First we tried feeding her every 2 hours for 2 days, and she did not gain. Then we did half formula, half breast milk for 2 days, and she did not gain. Then we did straight formula for 2 days and she gained 3 ounces. Because I was pumping, we could see that my milk had no fat...so that was why she wasn't gaining. So now I give her 1 ounce formula, and 3 ounces formula for each feeding, and she is doing well on that! On Monday evening my midwife came, and she weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces. So hopefully soon she will be back up to her birth weight!
Well, that's all I have time for for now!
2 weeks till Christmas!

grr.. hate the slow weight gain, but kudos to you for pumping!! Hope it continues to go well! 3 kiddos! That seems incredibly significant, way more than two because now you are outnumbered! Congrats, Becks, she looks beautiful, and I'm glad the kids love her :)
