"Don't leave me with the babies!"



Happy due date Caroline! We are so glad you made your appearance early. (knock on wood)She is the best baby. She slept last night from 10 to 1, got up to eat, and then went right back to bed and slept until 6. We are really hoping that was not a fluke. (knock on wood). I don't know if it is a gender thing or if the boys were just similar, but things are different with her. She truly is a little bean. She lost a pound from her birth weight to her 48 hour check, so we had to go back to the doctor on Monday. She gained 3 ounces so we are moving in the right direction, but we still have to go back in a couple of days to see if she has gotten back up to her birth weight. Since she is so alert and laid back, the doctor just thinks she is going to be petite. For those of you who remember Jack and Ben as babies, petite would not be a word you would use to describe them . :)


My Mom was here all this week which was absolutely heavenly. She did laundry, made dinner, played basketball with the kids, and the list goes on. I was able to run some errands and get things ready for Ben's birthday party next week which was great. We are going to miss her so much! Thankfully she is only an hour away.

Caroline is beautiful and has so much hair! Glad she is gaining weight. She is probably just going to be petite. Hailey is so much littler than Madison and isn't gaining weight at the rapid speed Maddie was either.

I am sure it was heavenly to have your mom around. You forget how occupied you are with a newborn...especially when you have other children. Glad she was able to help with the house stuff. Just remember the chores can get down later. And as for dinner, just get some casseroles that you can pop in the oven so you don't have to worry about all the prep stuff. It took me about 4 weeks before I could really start making dinner (and when I mean dinner, things other than Tyson nuggets, pizza and premade casseroles) :)

Hope you have a great weekend!
