Londyn is almost here

So far the past 2 days have been very full and exhausting.  Blanche woke up yesterday (Friday) morning at 2:45am with contractions.  Ever since that point it has just been a waiting game.  We came into the hospital Friday morning and they kept her for a while, monitoring contractions, which were about 5 mins apart.  They then sent us home for a while, expecting that we would be back later in the day.  Eventually, contractions were at 2-3 mins apart so we came back.

We’ve been here ever since and Blanche is now going on 36 hours of labor.  Londyn seems to be healthy, though she is face up which is again delaying things.  But we should be able to meet her soon, which we can’t wait to do.  I’ll post more details as they happen.

Coming soon…

…my life in the very near future.

Happy Father’s Day

We had a great Father’s Day here in Texas.  We went out for lunch, watched one of the Star Wars movies while we lazily laid around on the couch, and then did a few productive things around the house.  I’m very thankful for my kids!

Austin’s Graduation

Austin has finished Kindergarten, and I have to say that he’s done quite the growing up this year.  I know that this is normal for his age (Jackson changed a lot at this age), but it seems harder to believe with Austin, probably because he has been the baby for so long.

He is doing well with his reading, is aware of so much more of the world around him, and is Mr. Personality.  In the past year, he’s played soccer, basketball and T-ball – and has excelled at each.  While his behavior wasn’t the best in his class, I’m hoping that there is a little bit of maturing over the summer so we can get through 1st grade with a few less color changes on his behavior chart.

He can be thoughtful, helpful and very sweet when he wants to be.  It’s amazing to me to watch his little personality develop (which is SO different from his brother’s) into the little man that he is becoming.  I can’t wait to see how he is as a BIG brother come October!

 

Pickle Juice

We went to Bahama Bucks for a snow cone, and I told Austin I was letting him sample a “new flavor”. But it was really pickle juice.

Snow Cones!

Londyn

On Friday we found out that our baby is a girl!  We decided that her name will be Londyn, and are still trying to figure out what her middle name should be.  We’re very excited to see what it’s like to have a baby girl!  Click here to read Blanche’s blog post, and to see more pics of the ultrasound.
