It's A Girl

On February 19th at 12:39 pm we welcomed our second daughter, Megan Rae Schmidt. She weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz and was 20-1/2 inches long. She looks like a smaller version of Abby when she was born. We were expecting a bigger baby. The C-section went just fine and we were released from the hospital on Saturday afternoon and have been home enjoying the girls. Megan is sleeping and eating well and we just love her!!

They sign (with balloons) that Tim put in the yard to let the neighborhood know it was a girl. Everyone was anxious to know if Tim would get his boy.

This was the first bath at home, as you can see Abby was there to help.

The beautiful flowers that OCCI and Homedepot.com sent us. Pink was the theme for sure.

This week, my parents are here to help and getting some extra Abby time. We've had a great time and I am enjoying a couple extra naps and not having to clean or do laundry. Team Papke is keeping the house spotless. Unfortunately they leave on Monday and Abby will be back at daycare and Megan and I back to our routine.

Megan is a very good baby and it's funny how similar she is to Abby when she was a baby, both in looks and in mannerisms. I'm hoping it keeps up!
