Hospital Visitors

We are trying to catch up from the last couple weeks. Nat's parents, Glenn and Carol, came to visit and help just as Natalie and Lanie came home from the Hospital. Al and Blanche, our wonderful next door neighbors (and our adopted grandparents from Texas) watched Jaden and Megan while the rest of us were in the Hospital. Additional Louisa and her kids (Matthew, Zach, Alex, and Adriana) came to say hello, hold Lanie, and take the kids to one of the parks to play. I guess Adriana and Alex are the only photogenic ones of the bunch. Either that or we just didn't take pictures of the other boys. We wanted to say post some pictures of their visits and also say thanks to them for helping us out. We couldn't have done it without them.

More pics

If she would only poop.....

So we are home and trying to get more and more sleep. For some "small" reason it isn't happening but Lanie is now out of the tanning bed, hopefully for good. Her belirubin count was high so we are feeding her as much as we can (based on the nurses orders). In the meantime when she poops I am afraid we will have to throw a party because that means we are flushing out the belirubin. No pun intended! Either way we are happy to be spending the night in our own bed eating regular food.

SHE'S HERE.........

Our round mound of baby-looking fun came tumbling to Lubbock on May 31st at 2:59 pm. We think she just didn't want a June birthday for some reason but only time will tell why! We also finally decided on a name.........Lainie Grace Wright. The spelling could also be Lanie, but I am doing good to remember her name at this point let alone how her mom wanted it spelled. Either way this 5 lb 14 oz 19 1/2 inches long ball of joy is here and we are so thankful that mom and baby are doing well. God has a hand in all baby births and this one was no different.

Now we can focus on catching up on some sleep and keeping the turns even for Jaden and Megan visiting and holding their sister. If I can get my first blog to work (no this isn't Natalie typing) then everyone can at least see a picture or two of a new angel and the four most biased family members in the world. We think she is cute!!!!

count down

We are into the count down. Now that the kids are out of school they are in hyper mode and can hardly wait for the baby. I know it is going to be hectic around here but it will be exciting too. I am not that uncomfortable just having lots of braxon hicks. So I am taking it easy for a while. We have almost everything ready to go .yeah! This lovely picture is for anyone who hasn't seen me for awhile , and no it's not a basketball under there.HA!

pure heaven

I got a pedicure yesterday and it felt so good. I loved it because I can't reach my fat toes anymore. They are so swollen and sore. It was great because she massaged them for a long time. And then painted them with a cute flower! I was so happy I needed it.

Soccer

Jaden made five goals on saturday! It

was the last game on the season. He was

on fire. Go Rockets. He has made some good

friends on the team. His coach has really been great and

we love to watch him play!
