My happy family

This past week and a half have been so much fun. Cailin, Katie and Elijah love their new little brother, and I've really enjoyed watching them help take care of him. I'm so blessed to have such wonder and fun little kids - and a great husband, too - I can't leave him out :-) Here are a couple more pictures I wanted to share from the last couple of days.

My four favorite kids in the world, all ready for bed:Cole next to a football, just to show how itty bitty my littlest man is:Cole wide awake. I just thought this picture was cute:

More pictures of our little man:

Cole's eyes are dark, but I doubt they'll be any other color but blue.

Itty Bitty Cole

It has taken me three months to post again on this blog, who knew it would be about another tiny baby.

Two weeks ago I had an ultrasound where they discovered that the baby was measuring small. I had another ultrasound yesterday morning, and the baby still hadn't grown in two weeks, so the doctor sent me right over to the hospital to be induced.

So, at 3:09pm yesterday, David and I met our newest son!

Cole Calvin Alder

4 lbs 15 oz
18 3/4" long

He is doing great, and we get to take him home tomorrow. The birth was awesome, and I am sore but doing well. Cailin, Katie, and Elijah came to see him last night, and Cailin was a little upset that he wasn't a girl, but got over that fast. I will put some more pictures of him on here later, but for now, these are the only two that I have on my computer.
