Little miss Evie was born at 29 weeks and 2 days gestation! We got to visit her tonight in the nicu, she’s so precious. I’d never been in the nicu before, it was amazing to watch the care of the nurses and staff. She’s doing great so far, no major complications at this point, but she still has a long road ahead of her. Please keep her in your prayers <3

A few weeks ago I went to a friend’s baby shower. Cassidy tagged along with the ladies too. It was such a fun afternoon.
In a surprising turn of events, they had to have an emergency c-section one week after the baby shower! Baby was born at 29 weeks 2 days gestation. Mom and baby are doing great so far, we got to meet her in the nicu tonight, I’ll post pics in a bit!

These are SO blurry, but still fun. The hour before bedtime is playtime with daddy and one of Ben’s favorite games is to be a pig with Andy. Big pig and little pig crawl around on all fours and sniff and grunt at each other. And then sometimes Ben rides the daddy pig. Cassidy got in on the action last night too.

We were watching a slideshow of pictures and one came up of Paul holding Ben when he was a newborn. I said “that’s you when you were a baby.” Ben said “Ben not a baby, I’m a big brother!”
He called a guinea pig a “kitty pig”
He started singing “Jesus loves the little poopies” one day
One afternoon he came in the kitchen and said his tummy had a boo boo. We hadn’t had a snack that day and he was hungry, too cute.
Me: I’m making banana bread do you want to help
Ben: No
Hey, at least he’s honest :)
One morning while we were getting dressed he exclaimed “Mommy I don’t like pants”
Me (after cleaning Ben’s poopy bedtime diaper): You could have gone poop on the potty you know
Ben: No, pooping on potty is yucky
When he says something is delicious he calls it “Wicious”
Ben to me: I’m the big brother. Cassidy is the little sister. And you’re the big mommy.
When Andy went out on opening day for bow hunting, Ben was convinced “Daddy is feeding deer on the farm”
Ben noticed Colby and Jack’s faces never really change expressions and we had the following conversation:
Ben: Is Colby mad?
Me: No
Ben: Is Colby angry?
Me: No. (beginning to understand why he was asking that) Kitties faces don’t really change.
Ben: Oh, okay.
Me: Can you go throw this in the garbage for me?
Ben: Not right now mommy, I’m twirling.
We also celebrated Ben’s birthday this weekend. I think he had a lot of fun, especially since he knew it was his day. Still have to go through those pics, will post in a bit.

I guess we can’t refer to her as a newborn anymore! Little miss is still pretty petite but she’s starting to chunk out a bit. She’s also starting to develop a little bit of her own schedule. She wakes up to eat around 7am and then has around 2 hours of awake happy time before she conks out again. Repeat all day until 7pm when she goes down for the night. She’s still sleeping a full 12 hours, but every once in a while she’ll wake up early morning around 4 or 5 to eat and then fall asleep again until 8.
Cassidy has also started gnawing on her hands this past week. No signs of any teeth yet, but the drool has also increased so we’re definitely headed in that direction.
