Moses basket–occupied!

Now to find a home for the girly basket. . .anyone out there expecting a girl? ;)

Introducing lively boy #5

Why I haven’t blogged for three whole weeks:

After five relatively uneventful and natural births, our 10# 1oz sweetheart landed me in the operating room. He was delivered by cesarean section at 1:04pm on September 27, 20+ hours after days of sporadic contractions finally became regular and 12+ hours after my water broke at home. I’ve had big babies before but this labor was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Surgery wasn’t my first (or second or third) choice, but I was exhausted from my body’s lack of cooperation and his heartrate was giving cause for concern.

The big kids were all thrilled to meet their new baby brother. . .

. . .including the Princess, once she had shed a few private tears over having yet another baby brother.
