We Made It Through The First Week
The last week has flown by, and we are settling into a new routine around our house. Thade is staying busy at school, and James is back to work, and missing his kiddos. I’m keeping up around the house with the little ones. Agnes is doing well, and sleeping a ton. It makes me a little nervous, the boy’s never slept, so it is really strange to have a newborn that loves to sleep. Dylan has taken on the role of big brother, and he is really enjoying being a big kid, and not the baby anymore.
I’ve set a goal to nurse Agnes for at least 6 months, but this time around it isn’t going as well as I hoped. She has a check-up later this week, so I’ll hopefully get some good advice from our family Doctor. The boy’s seemed to eat around the clock, but not little Agnes… I’ve become one worried Mommy this week.
I’ve been trying to take it easy around the house, but I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve got a post-op check-up today, so we’ll see what the Doctor says. I hope that it goes well, and the kiddos behave too. It is going to be a long day…

Welcome Baby Agnes!
Agnes made her grand arrival on our 8th anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier. She is doing well, adjusting to feedings, and I’m trying to hang in there. We are happy to be home from the hospital, and back home with our boys.
Thanks to Maggie for taking such great care of all of us in the hospital. You were awesome, and made our stay and recovery great. Thanks for all that you have done for us.
We truly appreciate all of the help from everyone. My best friends Shaunna, Stacey, and Maggie took care of all of the meals for our family, and brought in special meals for James in the hospital too. I know the Grandma’s had fun getting to spend extra time with their grandkids too.
Thanks to all for the prayers and friendships too. We could truly feel the love…

Nine Months Ago…
Nine months ago, we knew our lives would change forever. Dylan wasn’t even two years old, Thade was keeping busy in pre-school, and I was happy and nervous all at the same time.
Nine months ago seemed like such a long time to get ready for your arrival, but the time has flown by. I’m still not quite ready, but I’m getting there.
Monthly Doctor visits, turned into two week appointments, and then I was seeing at least two Doctors twice a week, and waiting anxiously for the surgery date. Before I knew it, I had my final two appointments, and I was giving my Doctor a big hug good-bye, till we meet again, in surgery.
Four ultrasounds, countless Doctor’s appointments, and many prayers later, and you are almost here…
The boy’s and I can’t wait for your arrival.

Dylan is pretty sure that he is a cat… I have no idea why he thinks he is a cat, but he likes to crawl around chasing after the kitties and yell, “I’m a kitty!”
He is pretty pleased to be bugging the kitties with his new found catness, but the kitties seem a little annoyed…
