Wow!!

It's been over 5 months since blogging.... I'm just getting farther and farther behind. Let me bring you up to date with just a few paragraphs. Since my last post we have had our third sweet baby boy. Hudson Tait graced us with his presence on March 14th. He came 5 days after his due date and weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz., 20 inches. It was the least of a transition for our family. Our biggest transition has been going from no children to the first little one. He is such a smiley and happy baby. He started turning over really early, like 12 weeks. Maybe even earlier. He is so verbal, started sleeping 6-8 hours through the night by 3 weeks old and stayed there until about 8-9 weeks and then SLOWLY moved his way up to 12 hours at 4 months or just a couple of days after.

We made a sweet family vacation to Tennessee in July and LOVED it! The older two boys had a blast and Hudson was a huge hit! All the Aunts and Uncles got to love on him. He was the only non-mobile baby so he was held A LOT!! I don't know if I gave him his bottle while we were there. CARRAZY, I know!

Honestly, if I didn't have a ton of work to get the baby weight off each time, I would love to be pregnant again! I love the WHOLE process. But...like I've said before, it's not the pregnancy, labor and newborn stage that is hard, it's raising them. Truett is 4 and sometimes I feel like he has had more schooling in psychology than I have. It's hard to know if I'm doing the right thing.
The best thing I've found is a book called "Shepherding a Child's Heart" it is the most insightful and delightful book I've ever come across. It hits the nail on the head. It's practical and yet completely biblical. I have probably read something like 20-30 parenting books. A lot of great books and, yet, this one is THE best in my opinion.

Not that I've got "IT" down, but I'm constantly seeing areas where I need to work on and pray about. So, now that I've got you semi- caught up, maybe I can stay more updated on my blog and give you more weekly posts.

Truett turned FOUR!

January was filled with birthday wishes. Truett is getting to be such a big boy. He is even a bigger helper than ever. A considerate little fella and mommy and daddy's sweet big boy. He asked for a Chuck E Cheese, pirate party.

Jett's 1st Birthday

Camels, Giraffes, Zebras, Snakes...

A recent birthday party brought us to a local attraction. A Safari. An off-road adventure for our oldest. He was enjoying every minute.

Truett had a great birthday party last month

Truett's birthday came and went. We had so much fun celebrating with our friends. I can't believe my big boy is 3. Thank you God for my little buddy!

So, I guess I should update, huh?

In the last month:
-We've moved
-Had a baby shower
-Had my sister's baby shower
-Had a birthday party
-Had 3 doctor appointments

We have been busy trying to settle down and get things put away. Truett is doing great and adjusting better than I am. We just moved up the road, so it's not like we are far away, but it is different. Truett did ask a few times to go back to our "home", that was enough to make me sad.

Jett's baby shower was great, lots of baby things and I can't wait to meet this little man who has overtaken my body. He is getting so big and will make his debut in 3 weeks or less!

My sister, who lives out of town, had her baby shower last weekend. I can't wait to have all these babies around again. She will be having her 2nd (a little boy) in January and I believe this will be their last. I guess this will be the last time we do our pregnancies "together".

Our sweet friend, Anabelle, had her 2nd birthday party also last weekend and we had a ball. Eating too much and playing too hard. Happy Birthday, "Antabelle" Rhee!

Oh yea, Doctor's appointments are going well. We will have an ultrasound next week to check this little guy's weight and see if I'm dilating. He is head down and "engaged". We toured the new Women's & Children's Hospital and loved the LDR suites. It's just around the corner.


Truett leaves little toys like this laying around and I'm reminded of HOW MUCH I love boys!!!

"The one thing I ask of the Lord -
the thing I seek most -
is to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord's perfections
and meditating in His Temple."

Happy Birthday, Nanna, Momma and Friend!
