This little guy:made this little girl: a big sister.And this big brother: is the happiest brother in the world. Introducing Pierce Allan. 9lbs, 0 oz., 22 1/4 inches long, born October 1st, just before 7pm. He beat the midwife here, Daddy caught him, and it was perfect – and perfectly unbelievable. Birth story to follow, […]
Yet to be announced…
I wish I had an exciting “It’s a _____! Named ___________ __________! Weighing ___lbs. and ___oz.. (I can only imagine those will be big numbers. Because while my belly has seen better days, hosted many babies at this point, it’s not usually this large.) If I didn’t still look (and feel, I assure you) this […]
Mr. Pot and Miss Kettle
“Would you stop asking so many questions, Ruby?” says Sterling during her typical Ruby-style the-same-questions-asked-20-different-ways interrogation during lunch today. Sterling has a similar style. It’s a pot and kettle situation. You just never realize how annoying you can be… until someone else does it to you. Huh.
Car seat jigsaw puzzle
My minivan seats 8 people. But not 6 car seats. Thankfully, Liberty is, at the ripe old age of eight, old enough to not require one by state law – so that leaves 5 car seats to fit into 6 seats. So yesterday, realizing that this baby will eventually come and should we need to […]
FYI
When trying to teach your almost-one-year-old to blow out a flame with a lighter, use the utmost care. When they dive, watch the hair. Singed blond baby hair smells really, really bad. We’ll try again when she turns two. That was a dismal failure.
Happy birthday, Charlie-girl.
Charlotte is one year old. How crazy is that? The year has flown. She’s been one of my easiest babies – once we got past not nursing (because #6 was on it’s way) and what to do about that. She’s happy, smiling, and always excited to see her daddy. She’s learned, in the last year, […]
Yes, folks, I’m still here. Still pregnant. Still quite miserable, thank you very much. I’m assured this cannot last much longer. A week seems like an eternity right now, but each day has to be one less before I meet this baby. At least that is what I keep trying to remind myself. And with […]
Nice try.
I’ve started a new thing lately – making oatmeal/cream of wheat and then getting the kids up to breakfast already made. They get up faster than ever before and we’re well on our way, right away. This morning, though… Ruby’s usually the first one up. She’s usually “helping” me make the oatmeal most mornings. But […]
Three is a very funny age.
“Ruby! Don’t color on the baby!” – Liberty “Momma, why do you have boobs?” After explaining about feeding babies and broken record syndrome, compliments to the age of three, had her asking three more times, I turned the question on her. “Why do you have boobs, Ruby?” “I don’t yet. I just have freckles.” “I […]
You’re so… weird.
Monday I did five loads of laundry. That caught me up. When I mentioned this to my sister, mother of three, she commented, “So that means you’re caught up until tomorrow, right?” Um, yeah. Of course. There’ll be at least two more loads by tomorrow. I didn’t do those two loads yesterday. Today, I’ve done […]
