Reuben and his sisters......

Life is starting to feel a little more normal now. It is very nice to be home......
Our little boy is doing well.....my midwife was here on Saturday to see him. He had gained 2.5 ounces. Not alot, but pretty good for a little guy! He now weighs 5.13 pounds! Not quite at his birth wieght....but getting close!
I leave you now with some pics of the cutest little boy....and his very cute sisters!



O.K.......Here are some more, cause he is pretty amazing!
You have to have the classic "bath in the kitchen sink" shots!


He loves his baby swing! Thank God!!

Baby's Here!!!

Our little Reuben Austin was born at 2:24 am, on Tuesday, February 5th. I will fill you all in on how it all happened later....I am WAY to tired to type for long! Reuben is doing awesome and came home from the hospital today!! It has been a very exciting and long day.....so I will leave you with some pics of our amazing new addition to our amazing family!!
Waiting to see the dr at the hospital........

Waiting for the oxytocin to start my contractions.......

Walking the halls with my faithful but tired man!
The contractions had kicked in!

Out and on to mommy's tummy.....

Daddy FINALLY cutting the cord....It only took 5 babies to get him to do it!

Our little man!!




These were taken today......finally going home!

Baby scare!!

Well its been a fun day!! My midwife was scheduled to come to my home for a visit today and a few hours before she was due to arrive I started spotting. So long story made short, after a rather invasive exam and all of the fun stuff that comes with that we discover that I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Here is a diagram that I found that helps you see what the heck that even means!
But taking into consideration that I have had 4 other baby's this is not to concerning.....the concern is that the last baby came early....so this one might want to as well! So I am to take it easy and be aware of my body. If anything changes at all I am to call her. This little man needs to stay in for 3 more weeks and then all will be well! Oh and I will be seriously messing with my sister's plans to have our baby's as close together as possible. And that is unheard of!
So thats my day today! I will keep you all updated.

More snow!?!?

We woke up this morning to 6-8 inches of snow. The girls were very happy to have a no school snow day! I am going crazy though!! Here are some pics of this mornings play in the snow.......



Little miss Pinky eating snow.....

Fashion show girls!

Our girls got asked to help model some flower girl dresses at a small bridal fair in town.........too cute!!! Grace would have nothing to do with it,(big surprise)and Elizabeth had to be carried and then had a moderate melt down on the floor in front of EVERYONE!!!!!!! Emily and Alannah did great! Here are a few of the pics....I didn't get to take very many because I was helping them change in the back......so sad!




Alannah was very serious through the whole thing..........she did say that she had lots of fun though???
Here are a few more
