Tobiah is Here!

Tobiah is here! All 9lbs 9ozs of him! Here he is R ight after birth! 

About an hour old, bonding with momma. 

A couple hours old, stole momma's bed and snoozing with Papa. 

Laying in the mid afternoon sunshine. 

Snoozing on mom after lunch. 

Quick stats. He was born after 5 hours of labour, at 12:39am on March 5th/15. He was 21.25 inches long and 9lbs, 9 ozs. Our biggest baby yet by 3 ozs. He has a full head of hair, something new :) and big chubby cheeks. He is so far a very easy laid back baby who rarely cries and sleeps a lot. He's nursing like a champ :) 

Surprises On The Front Porch :)

One day last week E came screaming into our room in a most excited manner and woke me up from my nap :) 

Daisy, our not so bright cat, had just lay down on the front porch and given birth to a kitten right before their very eyes. 

They had been on the porch setting up this surprise for me when it happened.

What great kids I have!! 

And Daisy?? Well she went on to have 3 more kittens in the old outdated carseat we kept on the dogs crate for the cats to sleep in. One was this little orange kitten who stole all our hearts. That night Papa moved the carseat, kittens and all, into the new house, we couldn't leave them where Tucker could get at them, and found out the next morning that Daisy had some sense after all and moved them out of harms way. Turns out Tuckers figured out how to get into the house. We were a bit worried as we couldn't find them and Daisy seemed to be around a bit too much to have just had kittens, but Saturday morning after chores Papa came bursting into the house to tell us that he saw Daisy go above the ceiling, on the insulation, of the house and he's pretty sure that's where she's hiding her kittens!! YAY!!! 

Birth Junkie :)

Yay!! I'm so excited!! Papa picked up the mail on his way to work and brought me a package with my 5 week formula in it from Birth Junkie!! I can't wait to try it and see if MAYBE just MAYBE I'll actually go into labor without having to be induced. Wouldn't that be fantastic!?! Hey and maybe I'll have a baby before I hit 42 weeks :) or 43 ;)

She also has a GREAT list of pregnancy birthing books on her website that she recommends. I love the list and have read several of them and I'm hoping to read several more before this baby comes.

 I'm a birth junkie too :) Are you??
