In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor.


Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all.


Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock

Yep, too early.


Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these...


Which felt like this...


And at 8:42pm they led to this...


We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family


We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

Great job, Sarah! (On the baby, but the post is good, too). I love the pic of you and Troy...that is one of the bitterweet things about a new baby and that picture captures it so well! Congratulations, and I hope everything went well (you know, all the gory stuff you don't share with the world) :)

No wonder you guys keep making babies...they're so stinkin' cute! I love you my friend and hope to connect with you soon! (I was hoping to visit you this morning, but... all three kids have sick green snot running from their noses, nasty coughs and Thompson has an ear infection. Plus, Tim's went back to work on Monday and won't get home until Satuday morning. So I'm on my own!! Hope I can come see your sweet baby girl next week!! I love her! And I love you!!)

Sarah, it never seems to amaze me, everytime I see a newborn picture of a baby being welcomed into the world, how babies fit into our bodies so tightly curled and squeezed, and ever so delicately are born into a baby! ? God is SO amazing, and He thought of every little detail, so perfectly. Isn't He!? !!!
Congrats on your new little baby girl! :) {you guys have a pattern going on...}
Love you!

by the way, you should print this out and mail it to Mamaw! She'd love reading and seeing the pictures! :) (just a idea/ or suggestion from my opinion...though.)

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
