My kids are cuter than your kids.

I've been wearing Saff in my BabyHawk baby carrier while I do work around the house. Well, R got a similar carrier from a friend of mine for his birthday. He's decided that he wants to carry around Sock Monkey like I carry Saff. So here he is wearing Sock Monkey.

He loves his baby sister sooooo much. Most of the time he's not interested in her or what she's doing. But at least once a day he asks to hold her. Here they are together.

Baby Faces

So, you've probably noticed that I'm blogging a lot more lately, despite our new addition. That's because we received a laptop for our anniversary (and birthdays) from Nonna. It's been awesome to have a computer upstairs and I'm able to upload our pictures super fast. Many, many thanks to Nonna!!!

So enjoy the pictures...

The cost of a child...

Or at least to have one in a hospital...

Midwife (switched to at 30-ish weeks).......$1000
Hosptial Charges............................$8894.42
Epidural....................................$1239

Grand total.................................$11134.42 and totally worth it.

But thank God for insurance!

Sicker than I thought

Well, I shouldn't have said N was being a baby about being sick. Turns out he had a whole 'nother round of virus, which I have now contracted. It's an aweful stomach bug and I'm just waiting for the kids to catch it. He actually feels mostly better today, mostly. But he took the day off to help me out. I am so very glad he did.

Saff has been acting like she doesn't feel well for the last couple of days. I'm really hoping that we are all on the mend soon.

Okay here's a picture for you and I just finished up the baby announcements so many of you will be getting those soon.

Much love!

News about GM and sick family

Well N is officially going back to GM. He passed all his hurdles and gave his notice this week. His start date is March 1. He'll take a week off between jobs.

R came down with a runny nose on Tuesday. By Wednesday, Saff had a runny nose too. So sad to see someone so little with a cold. By Thursday I felt kinda crummy and now N is in bed with chills and aches. None of the rest of us appear to be as sick as Daddy. But he doesn't exactly handle being sick well... (insert evil snicker here). The rest of us are better already.

More pictures soon!
