Brother and sister playing tea party and midwife appointment.
Big sister loves having a new doll friend.
Little brother keeps an eye on her; anything she does is worth watching.
He’s here!

Not only did he arrive right on time (on his due date), but he got here quickly (labor from start to finish lasted an hour and a half; we gave birth five minutes after arriving at the birth center!). He even weighs a full pound less than his big sister weighed when she was born.
We’re smitten.
The upside to getting a new phone is that I can now Instagram again! HOORAY! I’m so in love with the app that we’ll be posting baby photos over there (and on our Facebook page) first.
Here’s a glimpse at the kind of photos I typically post:

I can’t imagine why she’s so tired today. She only stayed up until 10pm last night reading independently in bed. SIGH.

See you over there!
We’ve washed the organic baby clothes, unpacked the wooden toys and favorite board books, set up the diaper changing station, loaded up the diaper bag, and installed the infant car seat. We feel ready for the arrival of our little boy.
That being said, this mama is still hoping to get more done before he arrives. (There’s nothing like a fast approached, yet unknown deadline to kick me into action.) I’m really digging these nesting instincts. Why can’t I be this productive all the time?! No, REALLY?! I still have a homeschooling room to unpack and organize.
At least I blogged twice this weekend. (Oh, how I miss you guys!) Big check off that to-do list!
