2 weeks already!!!





Why is it that when you're pregnant the time just crawls.... but the minute they're born it just flies! Joey is 2 weeks old already! It's just going by so fast! I'm trying to enjoy every single minute of it since he's the last.... seriously he is I promise!!

He is by far my easiest baby! The others were all hollerin... as Grandma Rie always called it :).. by this point. But this baby is just as content as can be. I think he knows with the chaos of the other 3 there's just no point in hollerin because he'll never be heard. ;) Poor little thing is being man handled by Drew ALL the time but never makes a peep!

Having a 4th has definitely changed my ways a bit. Since he's up every hour on the hour I'm a wee bit tired and many of my OCD's are flying right out the window! lol The other night Joey peed through his sleeper onto my bed. Jennymomof3 wouldve stripped the entire bed immediately. Jennymomof4 grabbed a towel, laid it on the wet spot and went back to bed! Brooke has been packing her own lunch for a week now. I have NO idea what she's putting in there... for all I know she's been eating Rice Krispy treats and Twizzlers! Drew has been jumping in the shower with whoever is taking one at the moment. I just don't have the energy to fill the tub, sit there while he plays in the tub for 30 minutes, and then cleaning out the mess of the entire bottle of soap he always dumps while he's in there! Hannah is loving my lack of attention to detail right now. She has trashed her bathroom and she knows I'm much too tired to even notice! I figure once her feet start sticking to the floor from all the hairspray and makeup then she might actually clean it. ;) And we've eaten pizza so many times in the last 2 weeks that I think they're about to just put us on auto delivery! We did have some very nice meals made for us by Jess and Julie ( thanks again!) but the rest of those nights it's pretty much been pizza!

We've also taken this baby all over the place already too! Cabin fever is in full force here! With temps a high in the 20's and snow, wind,etc. I can't even send the kids outide to play. So we've taken him to the mall, Dave&Busters and this week the museum. He doesn't really care where he goes...as long as his boobies are nearby. ;)

Inctroducing baby Joe :)




I am beyond thrilled to announce that Joseph Matthew arrived on Jan. 12 at 11:30 am. He was 6 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. And he was determined to outdo his brother and sisters by taking the longest to enter the world.....a full 36 hours of labor before he finally arrived....and only the last 3 were with drugs! =P

We are all so in love with our newest and LAST addition to our family! :) He looks exactly like Drew did as a newborn. If I have another Drew in the works I'm really in for it! lol

Happy Birthday Brooke! And a quick baby update.

Brooke turns 11 today....wow that went fast! We celebrated this weekend since she had school today and with me being due anyday we fit things in when we can.

She was really hoping that I would have the baby today and they would share a birthday. But with only 7 hours to go in the day....that's not going to happen. Some people say you never know...but my babies take ridicuously obnoxiously long to arrive so like I said...not going to happen. ;)

There's a snowstorm forecasted for Thursday so we all predict he'll arrive then....because my kids always have to have a grand entrance. Hannah and Brooke were both born during MAJOR snow/ice storms. And Drew was born on Easter...disrupting everyone's plans for the day. ;)

I feel fine for the most part. Can't sleep for shit but I think that's just prepping me for the next year ( or two!). Baby is still measuring small for 39 weeks but healthy.

And if you've tried to call me in the last 2 days and gotten a disconnected message...it's because I've ripped the damn thing out of the wall. ;)
