Little Mister

Of course, the biggest news was the arrival of Mister.  

After His rather dramatic entrance, His sisters and Grandma came to meet Him.  

Counting Toes

Family of FIVE!

Mister then spent the ENTIRE first night like this:

Seriously, I don't know why the nurses didn't come running to see why I was pulling His toenails out.  Maybe they were concerned they'd get hearing damage if they came in.  But eventually, sometime the second day, He finally got a meal in His tummy and settled into being His sweet self.  

Little One brought us this carefully constructed gift; it is a box which, when opened, revealed pop-up signs that said, "I love you Momme (mommy)" and "I love you Babe (baby)" and a taped on string of plastic pearls.  It also included a collage of pictures for Baby made by Missy.








Since this was not my first bundle of joy, the hospital let us go home a bit early, and since it wasn't exactly the Ritz in there, we were happy to.  J and Missy came to pick us up.


J's mom very thoughtfully gave us the outfit we brought Him home in.  It is the very same outfit J wore home from the hospital when he was born!  I love the sweetness of that.  Here they both are-

Baby J

Missy was very excited to help bring Her brother home.  She had Her baby too, and together we nursed and changed our babies and got them ready to go.



We rode together in the wheelchair (such a funny requirement) while poor J somehow pushed us and carried all the bags at the same time.  Then we clicked car seat number three into place, and Mister headed off into the big world.

We went straight to Little One's school and picked Her up so that we could all go home together as a family.  Waiting for us were the doggies (who were pleased to meet their new person), the sparkly decorations, all kinds of pictures and posters from the Sisters, and flowers from my thoughtful step-dad.

 Home sweet home!
