And then there were 4


Well we welcome the arrival of Henry Martin on 3.10.2008.



Soon after we got home we remembered just how many diapers, wipes, outfits and blankets you use in a day.
The sleepless nights and the sounds of the little lamb cry and the simple miracles in life that make every long night worth it.
Henry as you guessed is not being the good sleeper we had wished for, instead he is one hungry little man, and up all night.


Shortly after arriving home mommy and Isabella got strep throat, and Henry got it in his eyes. Isabella also managed to rip off a toenail and get and infection as well. Then daddy got strep too!


We are all on the mend and lucky Mimi (Matt's mom) has come to town and helped out with Isabella, cooking, cleaning and overall care.
Nana (heather's mom) Is back to work after caring for Isabella while we were at the hospital and was a huge help in pulling off the unexpected early delivery of our new baby boy.


We celebrated Easter here at home and had lots of visitors it was a nice day for all.


Isabella has been adjusting... she has coated the dog in milk to make his hair shine, colored on her bookcase to make them pretty, stretched silly putty all over the dog & decorated her brothers hair with toothpaste and has hugged and squeezed the love out of her new brother.


**The doctor has assured us that the second child is always built stronger and it will be OK.


We are looking forward to some sleep, and more of life's little wonders like... how did poop get there? how did he pee under his armpit? and other silly stories to remember and cherish and share with good friends and family.

Never fear dear sister, I can assure you that subsequent babies are not breakable. :) In fact, I have found them to be quite resiliant, and all those bumps, bruises, and toothpaste hairdos just add character. Welcome to the blog world, and especially welcome to this world Little Henry. Your aunt loves you very much! :) Krista
