Up and Running....


Okay, one of my goals for the new year has been to get a blog up and going.....mostly so I can send pictures to my mom and pretend that someone else is interested in our lovely little lives down here in Texas. Also, it seems to be the latest rage and since I have so much spare time with our kids and I figured it would be a good filler :-)
Latest News:
Abigail was born January 13th at 2:11am weighing in at 7 pds 3 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. The labor went really well and besides us waiting yet again to go to the hospital or in this case the birth center, (really Ben I thought I had more time...) and her almost being born in the parking lot, it was awesome. I am completely sold on Nativiti Birth Center and thoroughly enjoyed the large hot tub, big bed with down comforter, and homemade German chocolate cake. Abbey is nursing really well and surviving her sisters who all want to hold her at the same time despite the fact that they all have colds. Ben is amazing and has stayed home all week to do dishes, make meals, play with the girls and let me sleep.
Other related news:
Yeah! Tiffany (Ben's sister) had her baby boy on January 15th. (I love that I went into labor on her due date and she had her baby on my due date). He is beautiful although I am sure he would rather be referred to as handsome and Ben got to witness the circumcision at which he nearly fainted.

Congratulations on little Abbey I think I might have spelled that wrong..but she is beautiful. Welcome to blogging, I have just started and one would say I probably do it too much, it seems to help me :)

Sadie is a doll, love the choc chips and salt, I'll have to try that sometime.

Glad Ben (since y'all seem to be girl makers through and through) was able to witness the fun of having a little boy...I was going to go and watch Timmy's but decided I couldn't. He is brave to witness such act.

Well get some rest when you can and enjoy that new little baby. And when you get a free minute stop by and say hi 4kidsnodog.blogspot.com

we just decided not to circumcise, i couldn't handle it either. so aren't you glad you have girls?? i am so glad you started blogging, i'll check in every once in a while. if you are up for a visit to austin, rachel smith is coming next month and she'd love to see you. i do realize you just had a baby though, so you can slap me for asking if you want. (but you have to reach me first)
