Carseat Cover

So after the whole RSV thing, I’ve been a little bit protective of Cailin… I really, really don’t want her to get sick again. So, everytime we go anywhere, I want her covered up. I was using a blanket for a while there, but finally decided to just make a carseat cover–and I [...]

Spring is… here?

On a beautiful, rather warm sunny morning (I told Cory that he wouldn’t even need his jacket):
Later that same afternoon (I called Cory to apologize):
Yep, that’s snow. We played in it the next day, snowballs, snowangels, the whole bit (but no pics to prove it). Gotta love March in Utah.
PS. Breanne took [...]

Sleeping Janey

So as I have said before, Janey has been refusing to let me put her down for a nap in her bed. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t *need* a nap, just that she screams when I put her into her room, sometimes to the point that she pukes. Not a fan of [...]

Favorite Newborn Outfit

Which baby is which? I love this outfit, and will use as many times as I have girls:

(And in case you weren’t sure, the pics are of Cailin, Janey, and Breanne, respectively. Sometimes I forget how much they look alike).

Hopscotch

Since Cailin was on the pediatrics floor at the hospital, there were several things for older kids and patients to do around our room. I didn’t allow the girls to come up at all (we didn’t need more cross contamination, or the noise), except for one time, when Breanne had an accident (right next [...]

Last Playdate Before Cailin

So we have a pretty great, fairly new McDonald’s not far from our house that the girls and I have been known to frequent occasionally. Knowing that I was going to have a baby soon, we stopped by the thursday before I had Cailin, and I snapped these photos. For the record, I [...]

Don’t Mess with Janey

My sister-in-law Becca snapped this charming photo of Janey while we were playing games one night. It was the first time I’d seen her make such a face, now she does it on command (it’s her angry face, if you’re wondering), and just randomly when I’m taking pictures. She really isn’t a demon [...]

Cailin: A Birth Story

*I’m sorry this has taken me so long, I’ve been working on it off and on for the last month. With everything going on, I just didn’t have time to finish it until now. I hope you enjoy it. It’s pretty detailed, because I think a lot of the process is very [...]

Waiting…

The english graduate in me is pretty sure this is the funniest video I’ve seen in a long time… Gotta love post-modernism. Especially on Sesame Street.

One Month

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. [...]
