For an only child, this is amazing. After all those tears and prayers and adoption paperwork and fertility specialist appointments, I thought my world was perfect with adopting my little girl and boy. Now, two surprises later, as I see the joy these girls bring to our family, I am super grateful to be the mother of four.
Super dad!
My 3 oldest children enjoying a picnic during our April snow fall of about 14".
Thinking her siblings are too loud?
K insisted on taking a bedtime picture of us with my phone. I thought it was pretty cute with D & M making funny faces.
We have some walls to our house (the one on the left).
N's reaction to her first walk around the block.
Some notes I took on Apr 22
M's nose and ears and hair ( but longer)
So alert like K
A good sleeper like D
Can't wait to know what color her eyes will be
More pukey than M
Seems strong and wiggly
I've been singing Elizabeth Mitchell's song Who's my pretty baby to
you. It's just the song I thought of while beginning to mother you.
I swear you already smile when Daddy plays with you
You stare at me when I switch from glasses to contacts and vice versa
You are so cute when you sneeze three times in a row
Daddy called you a bat b/c you hate bright light so much
I call you my sqeaky toy when you get the hiccups
K watched so carefully over you while you took your bath last
night. She loves you a ton.
You don't mind dirty diapers at all but get pretty mad when you want
food if I'm too slow.
You liked the sugar water you sucked off my finger while getting your
newborn screen done at the hospital yesterday afternoon. Way better
than what all your siblings went through.
You're always awake when it's time to put your siblings in bed but
sleep through our meals most of the time.
