Hospital Gifts for the Siblings and Supportive Spouse

Wanted to get the munchkins a gift for when

they came to the hospital to meet munchkin #4.
(These gifts were to come in handy depending on
how long their visit would...keep 'em entertained!)

Boys got a Target Dollar Spot bucket, light-up yo-yo and then legos from the toy section...
Sarah Morgan gots a boy baby doll and bottle...
Daddy got a couple treats (which he opened not too long after birth. Ha. It's tough having a kid!!) and Camron can wear the sleeper that says 'I love my DADDY'...
Here are all the gifts that ready and waiting...And now for them opening their gifts...gifts were a hit!...
Mommy has a boy baby and so does Morgan...

And Baby Makes Six

God has once again granted Shawn and I another desire of our heart!

As Auntie said, "Big Sister"..."Bigger Brother"...

Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth,
what joy is welcomed like a newborn child?

Shawn's parents...
My mother....(don't have a picture of my dad holding him. I am sure my mom does)...
Auntie (Emily)...We gals have to stick together! We're outnumbered...

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One is roots; the other, wings. (don't remember who wrote this)
Nurse getting his hair combed after his bath...Shawn surprised me with a dozen roses...This is truly a husband who loves his wife. You could feel the metal bar under the mattress!...

My loyal sidekicks...Diaper Duty...Lugo delivered 1,2,and 3. Thompson helped baby 4 arrive safely....
Nurse for 3 of my deliveries....also had another nurse that helped with Landon and Camron but don't have a picture of her...
A few guests...

Charles thought Shawn needed a gift, too!The one and only princess and her new baby brother. She got the crown as a gift after the siblings got to ring the nursery chime bell for Camron's birth...
Getting ready to go home...He only got to wear this 2 times - already too long for it!...
Carseat ready for baby 4...it's been a good one...
We're home!...
Came home on Morgan's birthday...finally, together at last...

Taking Up Space

This house is *baby ready*....take a look at how 'he' is taking up space and 'he' isn't even here yet....!!!!

Daddy's Girl

Shawn has had the past couple of weeks off (and we have so enjoyed the family time). The other day Shawn was putting Morgan down for a nap and she said, "I want you to sleep with me." How could he say "No" to that?
Side Note: This happened again a couple days later....Daddy's little princess...smiles.

Packed and Waiting

Hopefully bagging each outfit individually - along with a pair of socks, underwear, and accessories - will help whoever might have the kids while I am in the hospital. I have a couple specific outfits I have chosen for them to use on certain days so I just labeled them.

Morgan has finally stopped asking about her pj's in the suitcase and saying stuff about going to the hospital. Poor thing - she is so excited and it's hard for little kids to understand time.

Waiting...due date tomorrow...hmm....we shall see!
As Steve Stetler used to always say, "Lord only knows - and He ain't tellin'!"

Baby: Coming Soon

My Mom went with me to a doctor's appointment this month and took care of Landon and Sarah Morgan in the waiting room. When I was finished, Morgan asked if they checked my belly. I told her they checked to see if the baby was okay. To which she quickly leaned over and placed her face less than an inch from my belly and said, "Are you okay in there, baby?"

Ethan is Seven

Since I am due to have a baby soon, we opted out of having family over for a birthday party and just have a couple of Ethan's cousins over to play, and of course, to help us eat cake and ice cream. Shawn was so sweet in suggesting that we could get a store bought cake, but that is something I like to do for the kids AND Ethan is so used to having themed birthday parties (my bad!) that he knew what he wanted for his cake. I asked him to draw what he wanted...he definitely gets some artistic ability from his Papaw Kuhn! So, before it was time for Ethan to see the cake, I was quite worried he would think it wasn't up to his perfection, but he loved it - *sigh of relief*.

Indiana Jones Birthday Cake

Here are a couple of shots Ethan wanted to get on camera...


He is happy with his real bow and arrows from Daddy (and Mommy) and his target range downstairs. (Yes, he has to ask to use his bow and the other munchkins know where to stand.)
