Baby’s First Photo Shoot

This is the first of many photo shoots I will be having with my newest model! I hope to do another one this week, now that I am feeling better, and more up to the task.

Judah has proven to be an excellent baby so far. He sleeps in 4 hour blocks at night and only wakes to feed. I have been busy soaking up every moment I can with him. There is something almost therapeutic about having a newborn in your arms.

The boys love their new baby brother, they fight over who gets to hold him. They like to know Judah’s whereabouts at all times.

I can’t believe he is almost a week old already. I really wish I could freeze time just so I could soak up his newness a little longer…

 

Introducing….

He’s here!!! He was born at 11:02 pm on the night of August 31st. He was 7.9lbs and 20 inches. He has brown hair, which is crazy!

The labor and delivery was by far my easiest, and almost a somewhat pleasant experience.

I have tons that I want to share but for now this picture will have to suffice.

I am so in love with this little man…

Because I haven’t had my baby yet….

I am subjecting you to cute pictures of Ezra. Today was actually a beautiful day in FL, mid 80’s with a breeze. I won’t hold my breath though, as it looks like its back to 90’s for the rest of the week. We jumped on the chance to head outside.

And yes, I know his hair is getting long. But he did lose it all, I just want to see his ringlets get long once before I make the cut.

I go in tomorrow to have an ultrasound done to determine just how large little baby man is. I will be being induced this week as well, I don’t want to say the exact day, since I don’t want to jinx it! But before you know it I will be introducing you to our 3rd little man…

I can’t wait!

My baby is holding us hostage….

No baby yet, no news really either.

I went to OB today I am still only 2cm, I am more effaced, but baby is still really high up.

She said I could be induced possibly next Thursday, maybe Tuesday. Meanwhile I have to go back in on Monday for an ultrasound. She seems to think I am baking a gargantuan baby. She said she thinks he is already in the “high 8’s”. Which of course freaked me out. Both my other boys were 7 and some change.

So I guess in the meantime I will hope he comes before that…

I am insanely uncomfortable. Not sleeping. And at at my wits end. 

Please sweet baby quit holding us all hostage, we are dying to meet you…

Time Traveler

The last five+ years with Rowan have flown by, I swear he is a covert time traveler. Because it surely seems like yesterday that he was learning to walk, carrying a blankey with him everywhere he went, and sucking on a pacifier.

I am not sad that today he starts kindergarten. I know he needs to learn, to absorb. I know he needs the interaction with other kids his age.

I think more than anything I am amazed that we have raised this little boy to be the wonderful person he is, that we have successfully gotten him this far. 

 

More than anything I am nervous for him. What if he gets hungry? What if he gets tired? What if he pees his pants? What if the other kids pick on him? All the what ifs scare me…

I know in my heart he will do fine, he will shine like the bright star he is….

I am SO proud.
