MOMMY'S LITTLE BAKING HELPER

MOM'S NEW TREAT STAND

YUMMY TREATS

Due Date

Today was my due date for George.  He is 5 weeks old, today.  He also weighs 9 pounds exactly on our homescale.  I cannot imagine how miserable I would have been if I'd carried him to term.  God really knows what we need and what we can handle.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it here or not, but, in the last week before George's birth, I was feeling SUPER SUPER pregnant.  I kept praying, "Dear Lord, I don't want a premie (meaning I don't want to have a baby early if it would be at the baby's detriment), but I REALLY REALLY don't want to be pregnant anymore."

God knows how to answer our prayers.

visit to Auntie Claire

In no particular order, here are some shots of the older two kiddos at Auntie Claire's house.  They've been there for a week giving some much needed rest and recovery time to Mommy.

More George

George Wilfred Reiter

He's Here!! Born 11-11-11, 3:31 PM at 34 weeks 5 days gestation. George was pulled out screaming. It was a great sound to hear since lung development was a concern. George still spent a few nights in the NICU to make sure he was OK before being released from the hospital with mommy. We're doing OK at home. Big Brother and Big Sister LOVE their little baby brother.

Pumpkins and Halloween

Yes, mommy was very pregnant and very tired and very lazy. Michael is wearing a punched out picture of a pumpkin. But, he loves pumpkins and he was happy to be a pumpkin for Halloween.
