Back to Real Life

First a few more baby pictures.

Even a ten pound baby can look small inside a car seat.


Bad habits start early.


Nathan is a pet kitty...he didn't feel like freezing for the picture. (Camera's take SO long, you know)


Miss Princess wanting some attention. (If you don't give it BEWARE and bring earplugs)


Matthew being a stinker, and OF COURSE playing with baby stuff. He gets insulted easily when you tell him to be careful around the baby. Especially the 43rd time. And the 44th time.


Life isn't as good outside the womb as inside.


But after a diaper change and a long long cuddle, it isn't so bad.

Hard to believe how well things are going for us--especially in regards to baby and my health. A couple of very close friends of mine are doing very poorly right now. Like Mrs. Bob who is back in the hospital. Please pray for her!

Baby Mania

My "friend with the camera" showed up for a visit on Monday.

Baptism Plans

We hope to have Daniel baptized Sunday Dec 6 in the afternoon service. You are welcome to come! We still need to confirm when on Sunday it happens, so check late in the week to see if we've changed it to the morning service or not. The afternoon service is at 4pm, so if all goes as planned, we will have some snacks coffee and dinner at our house for people that need to travel a long way. Let us know if you think you can make it!!

Initiation

Welcome to the family.

Daniel Zaiden

Daniel Zaiden.
(Zaiden after my mother.)
10 lbs 12 oz
Born yesterday morning.

We're both home already, and doing great.

Praise God!

Pressure

I am feeling pressure all around.
Inside me.
Outside me.

I think it's time for the baby to come out.
By the end of this week anyways.
I ALMOST feel ready.

Overdue

After two weeks of being pampered, I am on my own today, with the kids. That means I have to actually take care of them myself. This morning my husband prescribed "something fun with the kids" as a priority today, and said I should forget about the curtains. Forget about the curtains??? But I've only got two weeks left and hardly anything done yet!! I can't forget about it! Maybe I'll do it when they're in bed instead. ;)



I notice by my avid blog readers that only news of the baby is interesting enough news. So perhaps I'll pass on blogging for while...after all, the grandparents are all out here to see the grandkids for themselves...which makes pictures a little stale.


As an aside, everyone but me (judging by all the comments on Sunday at church) seems in a hurry for me to have the baby soon. I'm only officially one day overdue yet, and in absolutely no rush to go into labour.

(Yes, I KNOW,
no pain, no gain
but still...)

We love Grandma

Time has just been flying by with Grandma over.
The kids just love getting the extra attention--and so do I!
Plus, there is a lot less work to be done since she's been here!

Hard to believe it's the 12th already! A few more days and I'll have reached my latest due date. I suppose I could still have two weeks left, who can tell?

Any day now I could be holding a brand new baby in my arms!
I find that hard to believe.
