Lots of pictures to catch up on!
The afternoon of January 30th the boys and I played outside, I played t-ball with Graham, we ate popsicles, and had dinner and I did bath time while Trent was at a work dinner. As I sat down on the couch about 7:45 I had my first uncomfortable contraction and then another one about 6 minutes later. I texted Trent and Stephanie to give them a heads up, and I kept timing them. At 9:00 we called my Dr and she said to come to the hospital to get checked! Sure enough, I was in active labor and dilated to a 4 so they admitted me! I had my epidural about 12:30, and then we had a quiet night trying to get some rest. Trent slept but I was wide awake!
Stephanie came and got the boys and took them to her house to spend the night.
All tucked in
Morning cuddles with Stephanie! So thankful for such a good friend to take such good care of my boys!
My dr checked on me about 6:45 that morning before she went into surgery. I was dilated to a 5 and she decided to wait and break my water when she was out of the surgery. So she came back about 8:10 and broke it. At 8:30 I told my nurse I was ready to push! My dr quickly came back, I started pushing about 8:45, and Parker was born at 8:58! Quick and easy!

Proud daddy of 3 boys!
Meanwhile the boys were having so much fun playing with James and Grace! My parents picked them up on their way into town and brought them to the hospital.

The boys meeting baby Parker!
Cookie delivery from Steph!
Our first attempt at a picture of the 5 of us!
The one and only time either of the boys has held Parker, and it lasted all of about 10 seconds!
My biggest boy!
Another attempt...
Sweet sleepy boy
Watching him in the nursery. This was the most interest they have showed!
A visit from Stephanie on Wednesday morning.
And Lana came by to!
My big boys had fun going to school in their big bro shirts and then playing at the house with Nana and Bop.
Finally a decent picture of the 5 of us!
Wide awake and ready to go home on Thursday morning!
Bop got some snuggles in before he headed back to Waco.

Lots of swinging!
Nana stayed until Saturday morning and then we were on our own for a little bit.
Mimi came on Sunday evening and took Bennett to the park and to soccer.
Flowers from Trent's work
I think he looks so much like Graham as a baby in this picture!

My little burrito baby
Learning to multitask!
All 3 boys lined up in the middle row of my car! We only had to do this once, and it was a tight squeeze.
And then I got a new car!
We walked to dinner at Cafe Express one Saturday evening
Parker was there too!
Walking to the track to run and play
My littlest Valentine!
He loves being outside!
I survived a night by myself with all 3 while Trent was hunting last Friday.
My sweet cuddle buddy!
Last Saturday Parker got to meet the cousins and Uncle Justin and Aunt Katie!
Love these 5 so much!
Kaki couldn't get enough of Parker.
Caden loved holding him too!
We walked to dinner at Ruggles Green on Saturday evening.
Fussy baby during lunch time on Monday - the only way I was able to get the big boys fed.
Playing at the park with Mimi and enjoying this beautiful weather this week!
I can't believe Parker is almost 1 month old. We've been blessed with lots of help this whole time from Nana and Mimi. We couldn't have done this without them!
