On Monday, a new little girl joined our family - Flora Therese. Everyone is healthy and well. She was in the posterior position ("sunny side up"), meaning it took me some extra work to get her out. But as always, it was worth it.
We're all in love with our sweet new baby.
The kids had been well-prepared with lots of books and discussions about how babies grow and what they are like. They have all been so anxious to meet her. Sly should be genuinely helpful. Stella is quite willing, but I expect she will prove to be "too" helpful. Linus is going to have some trouble learning to share his favorite spot - Mommy's lap.

Does this mean you'll start blogging again?! :-)
ReplyDeleteShe looks like just the sweetest baby! And such a sweet name too. Hopefully we will make it home sometime this summer and can meet her!!
Can't wait to meet her!! She is beautiful. I love the family photo ... it looks like there is some trepidation on Linus's face. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Christine!! Your family is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see you pop up in my feedly...Oh, good, now you'll have time to blog, hehe...everyone is beautiful, and so big!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. She's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my happy heart! So good to hear from you! Sly looks SO big! Great looking family.
ReplyDeleteSide note I know in your past response to me you felt that there wasn't much to say and I have to say... I disagree :-)!!
I LOVE hearing your opinion on everything and anything! You always offer new Input and your blog is what inspired me to continue my modest skirting journey!
I know you will be a bit busy with the kiddos and understand if your heart
Isn't in blogging anymore...
But know that your fans are here :-)!
Oh congratulations! I was wondering about you just the other day. I had been thinking about how I hadn't seen a blog post from you in what felt like ages. She's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news! Congratulations! Definitely worth breaking blog silence for. :) She's lovely and so is the name you chose; it's beautiful and unusual, fitting with your other names perfectly. Her little face goes with everyone else, too. All your kids look similar. I chuckled at Stella's banged-up nose and Linus' dubious expression-classics, both.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She is so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Wow, all the kids are so big, and cuter than ever.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! She’s beautiful!
