Even though there’s a newborn in the house, he is still my baby! He totally feels different now though. I’m carrying a 9lb baby around all day, so when I pick up his 30lbs…he feels rock solid!! I thought he was a tiny lanky guy, I was so wrong! Its really odd to feel the difference.

I happened to catch him with his 3 favorite things. His “boo” (pacifier, which at this time he only gets during sleep times! Yay!) His blue blankie which he’s had since 3 weeks old and is his best friend (which has been cut in two by Mommy so he can always have one when the other is washing!) and his car blankie, which he loves very much.

ps. I’m having trouble with my colors uploading to photobucket…I’m pretty sure you’re seeing the photos at their full color potential, but if not, I apologize!

…that pretty much sums it up. I’m just in total awe of her. I mean, I knew I would love her. Sure, it might take awhile to get used to her, (this little stranger in my house!)
But, I…just…love…her… It was like she was always here and she totally completes us. She’s squishy and cuddly and mellow. I know it’s God blessing me because with two other wild monkeys in the house, I need her to be my little mellow angel!

Can you tell which one doesn’t belong in THIS picture??




Liliana Grace finally made her entrance into the world at 12:17am, Friday February 15th! She shares a birthday with her Daddy. She was 9lbs 4oz, born after a 3 hour labor, into the water, completely naturally. Caring for 3 children is…um…a very new adventure! Needless to say, I and my husband are exhausted!!

Thank you to everyone who stuck with me on this pregnancy journey and kept my spirits up while I was overdue! It was totally fun documenting the last days, but I am so thankful that now I’ve turned in that huge belly for a tiny baby.

One more thing, I pretty much have the most amazing husband in the entire world. He never got tired of all my complaining during those 9 months (he never told me at least!), gave me the most amazing ideas for my overdue series of photos (pretty much, any one that included a basketball…yep, that was all him!)…oh, and he got me through labor of course! I had a very rough pregnancy, and he did absolutely everything he could to help me the entire way through it. Now he shares his birthday with our daughter (by only 17 minutes!), he is a wonderful man and I am so thankful to be starting yet another journey with him!

I thought I would try to blend in :)

Oh, and I thought this song was appropriate….

“One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?”

We have a real emergency here!!!

Thank you to my mother in law who inspired this photo. She’s very creative and very thoughtful!!!

Ok, you all taking bets yet??? I had a friend tell me today that I must have the Radisson of wombs, my kids are so comfy they don’t want to come out!! I have to say I agree with her.

…should come with warning labels….

Hopefully you won’t be forced to look at it much longer!

*ha! did anyone catch my typo? I fixed the photo…but I am only 41 weeks…not 42 :)

So just kidding! Even though many have told me to try it….I just can’t bring myself to do it!

Or are you just pregnant??

(40 weeks, 5 days)
