wee little squishy ones

I can hardly believe that in 3 days, we’ll have a cute little squishy, fuzzy baby. You’d think I’d be ready since we’ve known since December that this time would come. Not so much. The other night I lay awake remembering all the little things I needed to do before baby arrives. Eeeekk! Lots to do… little time and energy. I’m also trying to prepare mentally and emotionally for my c-section recovery. I dread it every time. I need to just be grateful that they can do such surgeries in a clean atmosphere with skilled doctors. The operating room at AF hospital has a wall of windows looking out on the mountains. It is a lovely view.

I don’t have photos of Hannah as a wee babe since we weren’t into digital photos then. But can you guess who is who amongst the boys here?Clue #1: Abe has his eyes closed. Oh – wait… they all have their eyes closed. Newborns look so similar, eh?

Our family is excited to welcome our little baby next week. Max keeps saying, “The doctor is going to get your baby out?” Yesterday when I came home from the hospital for my non-stress test, Max seemed disappointed that the doctor hadn’t gotten the baby out yet. All in due time, buddy.

I hope I remember what to do with such a wee little baby. I’m quite excited to meet her and see that all is healthy and well.

THREE. MORE. DAYS.

p.s. photo #1: Max… see all that dark hair (well… dark for this fam). I love his pose.
photo #2: Abe with the blondest hair
photo #3: Truman… the serious baby … littlest of all (who looks so much like Abe, eh?)
