We added a fourth sweet boy to our family last week!
His birth went smoothly and we were able to return home a day or so after delivery. He was bigger than expected (9lb 2oz–where was he hiding in there?!) so had some early blood sugar issues, but they resolved and now he’s just a chunky babe 🙂
It’s always an adjustment adding another child to the family, but this time around, it feels calmer with our oldest in kindergarten full-time and second at preschool part-time. Eric also has quite a generous leave for the US so it’s been nice to have time to rest and recover for me. I am starting to see how some people have lots of kids. We’ve leaned more on community this time around and it feels natural.
I’m still taking it easy but definitely getting excited to get out more and visit with more friends and family soon. Especially since the weather is starting to turn fall-ish–my favorite time of year! And now I have TWO fall babies to celebrate in future years… #3 and #4 birthdays are two days apart 😛
I’ll be back soon with some home management posts, reflections on large families and perhaps a collaboration or two… for now, I’m soaking in the newborn days and taking way too many baby pictures, haha.
