I can’t believe Cailin is already a month old. I know all moms say things like that, but seriously–with all of the craziness of normal life, plus the week and a day hospital stay (and February being the shorter month that it is, I guess), this last month has gone by SO quickly. [...]

So Janey was taking pictures of herself on my computer the other day. I thought they were cute when I first glanced at them, as she’s making all her “faces,” but when I looked at them a second time and noticed the background, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud… many many times. [...]

So this morning I got up and took Cailin back to the hospital to get suctioned out. This normally takes maybe a half hour, but today took just shy of 2 hours. This delay forced me to rush home to pick up the other two girls so Cory could head off to work [...]

You can

go back

HOME!

So we did. And we are so happy to be back here, even though things seem more crazy this time than they did the first time we came home from the hospital… I think it’s because the girls have been away for so long, and shifted around so many times… it’s taking [...]

In case you haven’t heard already, Cailin’s been in the hospital with RSV for the last week. All things considered, she’s doing pretty well, we’re just waiting for her to get off the last little bit of oxygen (they call it a “trace”), and to stop requiring her airways to be suctioned out, at [...]

Remember this?:
Well, now it looks more like this:
I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we are blessed to be able to have children, but very grateful to be on to the next step.

“I want to hold her, I want to hold her!”“Ooh, she’s so cute!”“Ok, dad, I’m done.”“What is this?”The girls have actually been really great with their new sister–Breanne tells people how cute she is all the time, which cracks me up. She’s also pretty willing to help me by getting diapers, wipes, or burp [...]

Sorry this is so late, but I’ve been a little… busy? tired? overwhelmed? distracted? Perhaps all of the above? Regardless, I am very excited to introduce you to our sweet little baby, Cailin Danielle. She was born last Sunday, January 31st, at 2:37 am. She has been a wonderful baby, sleeping [...]

…and perhaps my last before the baby is born? I suppose we shall see.
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to make a nursing cover for a while now, and a couple weeks ago I bought the for it fabric on sale (at JoAnn’s, as usual). I finally had the time and energy to make it [...]

I’ve always admired women who were able to get things done during their pregnancies–with both Breanne and Janey, it seemed like all I could do was live from day to day, nothing new or extra. For whatever reason, this pregnancy I’ve had a little more desire to craft, and many more things I want [...]
