Updates

I am so incredibly behind on this blog, I'm not sure I will ever catch up but I am going to attempt to try. So there are going to be many quick little posts popping  up :). 

Ruby: Ruby turned 5 weeks on Tuesday and we just love this little pumpkin so much! She is doing great & is starting to stretch out in her sleep! She went her longest stretch last night from 8p to 3a! Thanks, Ruby!

Porter: Oh Porter. He has the BEST imagination ever and is constantly flying to the moon, working on the railroad, rescuing someone or just plain being silly like he is here with his 4 eyes :). 

Wells: SUCH a cutie!! He is VERY sweet & very cuddly. The ONLY thing is he likes torment his brothers & chase them. It's comical at times, annoying at others. 

Henry: Loving school! A couple weeks ago he had an etiquette party at school. They had been working on manners and instead of having a halloween party they dressed up in their Sunday best and had a "fancy" party. He looked so handsome & SO big! 

 Ruby looked so sweet in this little sleeper...which was mine as a little girl! SO special!! 

ONE month!

Doesn't seem possible, Ruby Jane, that you are already 1 mo old! What a month its been...!
You are still a little peanut but I can tell you are really starting to fill out! You have outgrown nb clothes but are still swimming in 3mo. You wear nb diapers but are almost ready to move up to size 1s. You eat every 3 hours like clockwork during the day & have a good eat/play/sleep routine going. At night you give us a 4-5 hour stretch and then 3.5-4 hour stretch. I'd love to see that stretch out & I know as you gain more weight it'll come. You are just starting to give us some smiles when we talk to you & tolerate tummy time for a few minutes throughout the day. Love you, Ruby girl!!!

Ruby girl is 4 weeks!!!

Pretty pretty princess!

Thank you, Eades Family, for my first piece of dress up clothes!!

iPhone dump!

Oh my...I'm way behind. We have TONS of pictures to share but a lot are off my big girl camera so here are some from my phone to hold you over! The pictures speak for themselves. We are in love with this little lady!!


























Plus...I chopped my hair off! I had 10" to donate!

Wordless Wednesday

coming home & first ped appt

Ruby looked so sweet in her coming home outfit memaw made for her! 

We got home right about the time the boys were waking up from their naps on Wednesday afternoon. 

 They were SO excited to see their baby sister but maybe even more excited to see that baby sister had done a little shopping!! :)

 Pretty girl in pink! 

 This morning Ruby had her first visit to her pediatrician. They checked her bilirubin levels again and they were normal...thankful for no jaundice! The pediatrician told us she looked perfect! I had a few adorable outfits ready for the little lady to wear but she is such a peanut we settled for a little newborn sleeper instead. She is so tiny! Today at her appt she was 6 pounds! So fun to take a picture with me and my best girl!

 She was so alert after her afternoon feeding...Kit enjoyed taking pictures of his daughter. He got some good ones!

Home!

Miss Ruby & I got discharged yesterday afternoon. It is so nice to be home!!





Ruby totally relaxed :)


There was already drama on what outfit to wear home ;)


Pretty in pink! The little lady was a good sleeper all the way home!

39 weeks!

Just a gorgeous day here in Houston. My mom must have brought the Indiana weather with her bc the humidity is gone! Hallelujah! Just sunshine today! Not sure if walking will get the little lady to come but why not try with weather this pretty!

Little lady update 38 weeks

Well, I'm 38 weeks 4 days & it seems the little lady is in no rush to make an appearance. I told my dad that and he said, "waiting on a woman...seems about right. Definitely worth the wait tho." Couldn't agree more!
The good news is memaw arrived safely last night and I guess there are a few more things we can get crossed off our to do list!


Speaking of baby...we went and visited a new friend that had her baby girl 1 week ago. It was Wells first time to ever be around a newborn. He was mesmerized!!!


He would make the saddest poo face ever when she cried and brought me all her blankets and looked at me like "Make it stop". Oh what fun we are going to have :-)

Wells on Wednesday

Found this little gem of me the other day & Kit couldn't believe how much Wells looks like me!
