Welcome our little baby boy!!

After a long wait (eight days past my due date!), I finally went into labor five hours before I was scheduled to be induced. Andrew James was born on July 12 and weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Quite a big boy!! Thankfully, Grandma was here to take care of Caroline and Hannah and we stayed at the hospital to recover. So far, he has been a very sweet little boy with his brown spikey hair and blue eyes. The girls have been handling it very well and I have been handling the girls (with the HUGE help of my mom) pretty well also. We are patiently trying to get Hannah to walk as I am not sure how I am going to be able to carry a newborn and a 22 lb. 15 month old!! Life with three has been a little crazy but we are excited that Andrew is here!

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th -- didn't my baby know that he was supposed to arrive yesterday?? I guess not because once again, my due date has come and gone once again! I am not surprised since both of my other girls were almost a week late. We are waiting patiently. Meanwhile, we had a great 4th of July. In the morning (where it looks like we live in Alaska!), we participated in the local parade with Caroline riding her decorated bike and Hannah rode in the wagon and we walked with them. Needless to say, I got a few comments about me walking with my big pregnant belly. Caroline thought she was so cool and Hannah just sat back and took it all in. We then went to a friends house for a BBQ and they had some of their own fireworks -- the girls loved them!! So let's keep our fingers crossed that something happens soon and that I don't have to be induced. We will keep you posted!
