One week

I guess the most exciting thing, at least for Audrey, is that she got her paci this week. I like to hold off as long as possible, mainly because until they can keep it in their mouth, the paci is quite annoying for mommy. I have discovered that she really likes to suck on it [...]

New Things

Bath Time:

Audrey

Megan

Maybe all kids scream like this in their first bath, but these two look suspiciously similar. (Thanks for the reminder Ali.)
The Swing: It goes a little slower with each kid, and makes this crank noise when it starts up, but 7 years and 4 girls later I guess it still works.

Today Audrey is hanging [...]

At Home

We brought Audrey home Tuesday night. It was not the coming home that you plan. We had wanted the girls to be with us and drive home as a family, but they said we could go after 24 hours and that ended up being about 8:45pm. Ethan and I both dislike the comforts of the [...]

I love cheeseburgers

Ethan and I just enjoyed our last meal for awhile.. well, mine anyway. As I recall, he doesn’t have a problem eating while I am in labor. Our nurse tonight has been great. She has a daughter a few days older than Megan and is due with her second daughter next week. She has been [...]

Anticipation

I am there. I am at that breaking point where everything is getting to me. Is it the hormones, the timing, the anxiety? I think I was there for about 2 weeks waiting on Alyssa and with Megan we induced so early, I missed it. But here I am: excited, worried, anxious, hopeful, doubtful, joyful [...]

Amanda hosted the event and was a wonderful friend: pampering me with gifts, delicious Julie-approved food and a sweet blessing. It was great to be able to share this time with new (and old) friends, since most of mine are so far [...]

Audrey at 34 weeks

We had our final ultrasound today. One of the signs of Downs is a slow in growth, and I wanted one more look to measure her and see that she looks healthy. And that is what we got today. Audrey measured right on for her estimated date and showed us all how active and limber [...]

21 weeks…I think

Look at that adorable little girl, she has got her thumb almost in her mouth. It is the cutest thing I have seen. Of course, I will break her of the habit if she still thinks she wants to suck on it when she is born. Nobody needs another 5 year old sucking on extremities. [...]

18 weeks
It is rare that I don’t know how to start a post. Usually, I am classifying events by blog worthy or not. I am thinking of what I will actually say before I even sit down. This past week has been different. While I wanted to post this last week, something held me back. [...]

16 weeks

I had my 16 week checkup this week. Pretty normal and on track. Well, if you consider threatening the 5 yr old and stuffing goldfish in the 1 yr old normal. JoJo’s heartbeat was 158 for those who think you can predict the sex by that number. My 20 week ultrasound is scheduled for June [...]
