My Monkey

She will be three weeks on Wednesday and I swear she has grown and changed so much already. She brings me such joy. The difference in the postpartum period with her and with the boys is as different as night and day. I attribute so much of that positive difference to having a drug free, all natural homebirth.

I have been a mom of three for just over a week now. I know I don’t have the most realistic idea of what it is like to have 3 kids yet because T is still on paternity leave… I know things will get tough – some say impossible – when T goes back to work on Monday, but for now I am just going to relish every moment because three kids is incredible. I love my family of five. Now we just need to schedule an appointment for T to make sure we don’t become a family of 6!
She is Here!

I have not posted in the past few days because I have been too busy falling madly in love with the most beautiful, sweet, hugable, kissable little girl.
Baby E arrived on Wednesday July, 28th at 9:39 am. She weighed in at 8 pounds 1 ounce and measures 21 inches long. She is healthy. She is wonderful.
I will be working on writing up my homebirth story over the next few days. I am going to have to break it down into a few posts though because it was such a long, incredible and life changing experience.
For now I will leave you with this photo of my little girl

A yummy gooey treat.
I love my boys.
Not pictured my 4 year old, M. I believe when this was taken he was learning how to roast a marshmallow.

My Little Diegos
Jul 11th
My boys have always loved nature. Everything about nature and the outdoors, especially animals — any animal. Recently I started letting them watch Diego on Netflix Watch Instantly and their love for nature, outdoors and animals has gone to a whole new level. They fall asleep talking about animals and wake up talking about them. They live and breathe animals. M now wants to be Diego. He chooses which paths to take — almost always “the third one!”– when we walk in the park and he is ridiculously excited to see any animal from a squirrel to deer (here in MN deer are everywhere). If I remember correctly the boys were chasing a squirrel up the tree in an effort to “rescue it.” I love my little adventurers!
I wonder if Baby Girl will be the same… I can’t wait to find out. Hopefully soon… please let it be soon!
