The last few weeks





We've had an eventful few weeks. It started with baby Charlotte of course. We had an extended stay in the hospital because she was Coombs Positive, which is an extreme case of jaundice. She was in the NICU for a few days with light therapy and then when her levels were stabilizing we were able to take her home and continue light therapy for a few more days.

Then everyone got the flu for a week. (Except for me and Charlotte, thank goodness).

And now we are getting ready to move across the country again. Some things just go together, you know; like bread and butter, Christmas and snow, having a baby and moving across the country. So I'm doing my favorite thing. . .packing. Blah!

All in all, it's been quite the month. And I am still getting use to the fact that we have five kids. FIVE!!!

Oh, and I managed to have a mini photo shoot with Charlotte. She was not happy about it. But I did get a few cute shots. Enjoy!

Today is the day!

Blogging to you live from the labor and delivery room! Yes, we are having our baby today. I'm all hooked up to the IV and getting antibiotics before they really start to get things going. Everything's going good and we will have a new baby by the end of the day! We finally decided on a name, but it's a secret until she makes her appearance. Pictures and an update with all the stats will be coming sometime soon!

In preparation of baby. . .


Here I am at almost 39 weeks! I don't think I've ever posed for a belly picture in five pregnancies. Oh well. This pregnancy has been nice and easy, which is such a blessing. And I am so excited to meet this new little cutie! I think I am ready, so come on baby!

  • baby clothes unpacked and put away

  • crib raised with new sheets and bedding

  • Layla moved to the "big" girl's room

  • newborn diapers purchased

  • hospital bag packed

  • new carseat purchased (because apparently they expire, you know, like food or something)

So excited for baby to come!
