Janie’s 2 Week Stats
Posted in Janie on Apr 3rd, 2013
Janie and I visited the doctor today for her two-week check-up. It is SO EASY to take just ONE kid to the doctor’s office! I’ve spent so much of the past year bringing three to countless appointments for me or one of them…and sitting in a waiting room with one child who is strapped into […]
Hot Cross Buns for breakfast…the things you can bake when you’re up at 3 am with a newborn… All three big kids got really excited about the Easter Egg Hunt! Meanwhile, Janie got in some last snuggles with Grandpa and Grandma.
Happy Easter From the Six of Us!

Newborn Pictures of Janie
Posted in Janie on Mar 30th, 2013
After a frustrating first attempt at taking my own newborn pictures, I broke down and ordered a reflector with some Amazon credits I’d been saving. Wow–the light difference was amazing! My pictures still aren’t professional quality by far, but I think some are decent enough for birth announcements.
Since Janie’s cord stump fell off early, Tommy and Lizzie helped give her a real bath yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t too traumatic.
Jane’s First Exposure to Jane Austen

Jane has been sleeping all day. (Too bad she didn’t sleep like this last night…) So Tommy volunteered to help keep her awake this afternoon by reading her Baby Lit Pride and Prejudice. I think she was a fan!
I tried to take some newborn pictures of Janie today using tips from books I’ve gotten from the library and several photography blogs, but I just managed to have 300 overexposed (?) pictures. Instead of showing you those, which frustrated me to tears, here are the kids, posing on their own!
Sleeping Better
Posted in Janie on Mar 24th, 2013
Jane had a longer stretch of sleep last night–midnight to 4 am! Unfortunately, I was not able to sleep for the first hour or so of that, but my mom took her after 6:30 so Derek and I could sleep in a couple more hours. And she is taking more to the swing today, so […]
It’s taking me a while to get caught up, but here are the three girls yesterday afternoon, just as we got home (about 27 hours old). And here are a couple pictures from today, just around the 48 hour mark. It was nice to come home, but she ate right before we left the hospital […]
