Happy Four Months Baby!

It doesn't seem possible.. but my baby turned 4 months old yesterday. I've been trying and trying to get a photo of him smiling. I don't remember it being this hard to get a photo of any of the other kids smiles.

Here he is reflecting about his new favorite food.. green beans. By the way that weird sponge-y purple thing he's in.. it's called a "bumbo" seat. The best $40.00 you can spend on a kid.

Why is this lady taking my picture AGAIN?

I realized I could not rely on my own to get him to smile.. so I brought in his big brother #2. He always smiles at him…

It worked! Happy Fourth Month Birthday #6!

A Second Look.. at a First Look..

I wrote about #4 and #5 seeing their little brother for the first time HERE I realized today that I only showed the photos from my side.. and not the photos from their side.. and I know you want to see both sides of the story.. right?

Here is #4 and #5 waiting at the window between the Hospital and the NICU. I told them it would be about 15 minutes before we were ready to bring #6 around… but they waited the whole time…

See.. they really did wait..

Then the most wonderful nurse ever… brought #6 around so they could see him. While we are on the subject of nurses.. I just loved this one. I think it might be her southern accent that made me feel comforted.. or maybe there was a little something about her that reminded me of my mother. Whatever the reason she deserves something special in my book.

Nice cowlick #5!

Here's what I saw from my side of the glass… some pretty happy boys.

The Man and #6

Today – tonight's To Do list is gonna be a strange one… We are currently "rooming" in with #6 for the evening. The hospital here would like to see if the Man and I still "got it"… and by 'IT" I mean our parenting skills.

You'd think that the parents of 5 children.. would have learned SOMETHING in the last few years.. but maybe not. Some people would think we don't learn too fast since we are STILL having children…

Tonight #6's nurse said to me; "I'd like to watch you change his diaper and take his temp." I looked around the room and waited for Ashton Kutcher to jump out and say: "You've been PUNK'd!" but he didn't.. Did I mention that the nurse was the same age as #1…. ON TO the list..

  • 11:00pm Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • 2:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6 watch nurse draw blood (I won't be watching..)
  • 5:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • 8:00am Take temp, change diaper, feed #6
  • Wait the rest of the day for them to test and approve me as a parent…
  • Remind #1 to remove all animals and sanitize the house
  • #2 should arrive sometime in the early am to ride home with #6 in the backseat.
  • Have #2 run into Target and buy the industrial size bottle of hand sanitizer.. the nurses have scared the poo out of me about germs and babies.
  • Before bringing #6 in the house rub hand sanitizer on everything.
