Christmas Morning 2011


Christmas with a newborn is crazy.  Here are our pictures.  I think I was holding Stella during all of this, so that's why she's not in any pictures, and also why the pictures are not that great.  I wasn't really mobile 

enough to get the "angle."
















Big weekend plans

Sike!!!

What a good big brother

That's the title of one of the big brother books we read before Stella was born. We are constantly repeating that now in hopes that loving to kiss and hold his little sister will continue.

Stella

Eventually I will get the pics of our "real" camera. Our laptop is in the shop right now, so I'm having to do everything with my phone. I will also post some comparison pics of porter and Stella--they are little clones. She looks just like porter.





Doesn't like the flash, but was liking her thumb!

10 months to 3 years

Compare this picture to the same one at 10 months old in the right side bar.



Porter still wants daddy to "fly him" by picking up the plane with him on it and "flying" around the house. They are very short flights these days. And there is a longer rest period in between.

Today is the day?!?!

I've been channeling the Mel Fischer theme (look him up) for the last week or so. I'm hoping that today really is the day!!
We are up and going!! The nurses got me up at 4:00 to get a shower and now I am on the monitor. I've been contracting some throughout the night, getting a little stronger and closer together. Nothing terribly impressive. Probably going to start the pitocin soon.
For some reason this old game comes to mind--"red rover, red rover, bring Stella right over." And I hated that game. Don't know....

What are we doing???

Well I'm sitting in a hospital bed, hooked up to monitors and waiting on the misoprostol to start working.
Jared is eating all of the snacks he brought with him to pass the time.
Porter is "helping" papa spread pine straw in the flower beds.
