Arby's

So we went to Arby's this past Sunday, and guess what, 5 for $5 is back. The sign said Sat. and Sun. only, 5 Arby's roast beef for $5, *limit 250. When we ordered, Patrick asked if they had reached their limit for the day. (thinking they would sell 250 per day for that price) The person on the intercome kind of laughed. He said, "No sir, that limit is per person."! Really! Who orders 250 Arby's roast beef?! If I order 251 will they turn me away?

So, if you need food for a lot of people, say 250, go to Arby's on Sat. or Sun. By the way, the lady at the drive thru window said to call ahead if we needed more than 50. DUH!

iPhone

It's really amazing how tech savy kids are these days. Patrick and I upgraded to iPhones recently. (the $99 one, not the $200+ one). My five year old knows more about the phone than I do! She can take photos, play the games, and if you tell her who to call, she calls them and puts them on speaker phone. She even bought an app from the app store (on accident)! Luckily, it was a $1.99 game and not $5. Needless to say, I had to change my password. It used to be SYDNEE! Make a note if you have an iPhone, don't make your iTunes password your child's name. They might have the phone and type their name when the pop up to buy something comes up! Oh well, Live and Learn.

Bad Blogger

I am a bad blogger. I haven't been very good at keeping up with things. A new baby brings new priorities and blogging is not one of them. Especially since Patrick and I got iphones. I can do all my internet surfing on the phone. But, iphones are not blogger friendly at least to me. Trying to type a lot of stuff on the phone is not easy. Texting is easy, not paragraphs. So, I apologize. Let's see, the past ten days have been busy. We got Chloee's newborn pics made. She did so good. Sydnee even got in on the pics. Now I am in debt to the photographer!

I had a birthday. We won't talk about the number to go with that. I did get breakfast in bed, beautiful earrings, candy, and lunch at the restaurant of my choice. Thank you Sydnee and Patrick. My mom and dad also cooked me dinner, and I got a cool necklace with Sydnee and Chloee's name on them. My mom said it is really popular thing right now. My brother and Ashley took us all out to eat and I will be getting a photo framed at Hobby Lobby.

This weekend we took our first overnight trip with two kids (to my parents house). Chloee did really well. She went to church for the first time and did great there too. Sydnee stayed at my parents. She will be there until Wed. I am so scatter brained right now. I forgot to pack her any pajamas! Oh well, Memaw bought her some new ones and we will be leaving them there for future slip ups by me!

Making weight

Well, today we had our two week check up. The doctor wanted Chloee to be back to birth weight by today. She was 9lb at birth and last Mon. weighed 8lb 5oz. Today, she weighed 9lb 5oz! She gained a whole pound in one week. I told you she was part of the family! (We know how to eat) So, now I don't have to wake her up every four hours during the night to feed her. We will try every five hours tonight. I can't complain. She has been a very good baby so far. I have knocked on wood several times every time I say that. :)

Motherhood a second time.

Today Chloee is 10 days old. So, for the past ten days, I have been a mother of two! It has been an adjustment to have a baby in the house. Sydnee has had a bit of a hard time to adjust. She has been at my Mom and Dad's for 3 days to get some well deserved attention without Chloee there. She doesn't understand why Chloee gets to sleep in Mom and Dad's room and she doesn't. I told Patrick we should let her sleep on the floor one night and see that we aren't having a party without her. Knowing her, she would sleep through the whole night. :) Chloee has been doing great through the night. I feed her twice in the night. I think she would sleep 6 hrs at a time if I let her. I wish I could, but we have to "make weight" on Monday. That is our two week weigh in and the doctor wants her weight to be back at 9lbs. I'm sure we will make 9lbs. Chloee is definetly part of our family. She loves to eat!

Chloee Ruth Sims has arrived!

Chloee Ruth Sims born June 29, 2009 at 2:54 pm, 9 lbs, 20 in long.

Yes, it says NINE pounds! Can you believe she is that big. I wasn't supposed to give birth for two more weeks. I had no idea she would weigh that much. She is beautiful and has a full head of hair. We are doing well. I am doing much better this time than when I had Sydnee (I had a respiratory infection.). Coughing and stitches weren't fun. We are remembering what to do with a little one. It's been five years, so some of that has been wiped from my memory. :)

Sydnee is so excited about being a big sister. She wants to wear her shirt everyday. Here is a pic of Sydnee and Chloee in their matching outfits.
