New Haircut

It has been about 2 years since I've had a haircut! I was pregnant with Owen for the last one and he's 19 months now so, there you go. This is definitely the longest my hair has ever been. So here is my before picture:

And here is the after:

Much better. I don't really mind having long hair, but I don't miss it either. I know it was time for a change and I'm glad I had enough to donate. :)

Family Photo

I got really lucky and using the timer on my camera I was able to get a pretty decent picture of all of us together. At least everyone is looking at the camera and smiling. What more could I ask for?

Adam's Baptism

Adam was baptized yesterday! Luckily our friend Jessie was able to make it and got some pictures for us. 

Here is all of our family with the Godparents and their four children. This turned out to surprisingly well considering how many little ones we had to get looking at the camera.

  

And here is one of just us, but it didn't turn out quite as nice. Not too bad though...

Adam in his baptism outfit minus the hat which wouldn't fit.

This is a good one of the "big" kids. Emma is 5 now. Abby is 4 and Ian is 3. So cute!

This would make a great family picture if only Adam was in it!

Newborn Pictures

My friend Lynn with Junebug Photography did some newborn pictures of Adam when he was about 9 days old. He was wide awake for the whole shoot and completely adorable of course! Here are some of my favorites. 

Make sure you visit Lynn and check out the rest of her awesome work!

Meet Baby Adam!

Well this is a little late and I haven't posted anything since my first prenatal appointment, but baby Adam is here! He was born March 9th after 13.5 hours (!!!) of labor.

He weighed 8lbs 13oz, which is what the other two boys weighed when they were born. How weird is that? He was 23 inches long. And look at all that hair!

Everything went great, no trouble, no complications except my labor stalling for a few hours in the middle even though I was walking up a storm. So that was a little frustrating, but what are you going to do?

He started nursing right off the bat and was a pro from the get-go. He was already gaining his weight back before we left the hospital. At his 2 week weight check he was already up to 9lbs 1oz.

Labor Day

Today Mike and Wanda took us out for breakfast at IHOP. The we went over to the park to play for a bit. The kids had a really good time, but our weather went from 100 to 65 degrees in no time flat so it was a bit chilly. Looks like I need to start getting our fall wardrobes in the closet and ready to use!

First prenatal appointment was uneventful as expected. After reading Simcha Fisher's recent post I think I'll be skipping first trimester appointments in any future pregnancies. I go back in a couple weeks then we have a whole bunch of birthdays happening. We have all four kids' birthdays between 9-25 and 10-21! Fun fun fun!

Perpetually Applicable Blog Title

I hate that I don't blog regularly! Oh well, I do have some exciting news though! We're expecting Baby Number Five!!! Our due date is March 14th. I'm very excited to be having a spring baby, since all the others have come right when the weather starts getting cold and yucky. It will be great to just have to throw on a onesie and head out the door instead of putting on layer after layer and fifty blankets before I can leave! I have my first prenatal visit next week so hopefully I'll be posting updates. We'll see if I can stay on top of things.

Here are some pictures of my boys. Ian will be 3 next month and Owen is about 10 months. Aren't they cute together?
