So I have three little girls on my lap for this one! Thanks to daddy we can sit on the couch and post, although I'm not so sure daddy doesn't use the iPad more than I do! Love this little gadget, don't know how I lived without it anymore! Anyway, to the point, no pictures today. I've been trying to win one of baby gizmos cool 30 day giveaways and today they are giving away the stroller I REALLY want, so this post is for you Baby Gizmo! The site is actually pretty sweet, they review everything baby as real moms not actors that are paid to say something...Hollie will give it to you how it is, good bad and ugly. Check out www.babygizmo.com before you buy something baby if you have any doubts at all! She's also cool enough to answer any questions you ask her on Facebook! Trust me, she answered mine!

Hello sanity! Where have you been hiding? 

So one of the three is napping, in one of her two preferred spots if she can't fuss her way into mommy snuggling her and keeping her nice and toasty! The big girls are causing trouble as normal, and we've managed to even touch up a few of the odds and ends that were left till spring outside. Mostly the huge pile of dirt left by the patio from installing heat in the garage. Trust me, the dirt and mud were totally worth the warm garage! But what's a mom to do when you have a runway of mud stretching almost the entire way across the back yard? Straw...a roll up mesh straw mat that is, that so far only a tiller has managed to damage! 

Then there's these three beauties that want to know everything that is going on...just wait till this weekend when company helps daddy put up their big easter present! Between that, which I'll show photos of when it's up and mommy's old trampoline we're a hit in this house! 

it's only fair that Kinsley gets more than one right? she's got a lot of catching up to do!

And then there were three...

little girls that is! 

Daddy is one lucky guy! He's surrounded by girls that adore him, and I don't think he'd change it for the world! 

Miss Kinsley Leigh was born February 27th at 7:45 pm. The newest addition to our house was also the biggest...they keep looking smaller to us but each of them has outweighed the last. She was 8lbs 1oz and 20 1/2 inches long. And absolutely perfect! The big girls absolutely adore her, as do mommy and daddy and we can't wait to see what shenanigans she gets into with her big sisters. 

Meet Kinsley....

Whoa, has it really been that long?!!

Ok, so we've been busy...really really busy!

Thanksgiving, birthday party, baby appts, christmas, the flu, colds, snow, amazing weather...you name it we've probably done it in the last month and a half! I'm officially at t-minus 5 weeks and counting, couldn't be less prepared, and since it's #3 it doesn't really bother me! All of the itty bitty clothes are still packed away in tote boxes, we have no bed for her to sleep in (praying she didn't lie to us and she's actually a girl!) there is no place in this house currently to PUT her clothes, hence the tote boxes, we have a first name...we think, middle is still up in the air...baby proof again? yeah, that's funny!! We're toddler proof, does that count? Oh yeah, and throw in a job switch and possible house sale in there and it about sums it up! 

So first things first...Sydney had an amazing birthday, one which she won't forget in the near future, between ChuckECheese and the fancy pool at the hotel her birthday was a definite hit this year, as opposed to the blizzard birthday (or no-birthday) of last year. Unfortunately this mommy failed, we were so busy the entire day I have 2 pictures of my birthday girl, and neither of them include her face! Chalk it up to fun and trying to keep track of 2 munchkins in a sea of munchkins I guess. 

That leads us into flu season...lemme tell you, flu and pregnancy don't play nice together....every single one of us ended up with the flu the week before christmas, right into christmas, makes for a super fun holiday! Following that it's only natural to fight colds, right? We're a month into that battle and hoping everyone is well by the middle of Feb in time for baby's arrival! 

Ok, now on to another fun trip for the girls. We took advantage of a not so nice day, daddy being gone for the day and the girls having nothing to do to road trip to see their favorite aunt and take in a new spot that the girls couldn't get enough of. Welcome to the children's museum in Brookings...thanks Jodi for the hint about having dry clothes with, cause not a single one of us left dry! I figured it was the best time to try it out, before I had an itty bitty to deal with too! We will definately be going back, I don't think a day has passed that we haven't talked about the museum at least twice...and Syd has daddy (aka Mr. Impatient) talked into trying it out too. 

She must have known what was in store for her, this was on the way to brookings that morning...a quick battery charge for the full day of play ahead. 

Yep, that's my baby at the ceiling...and you can barely make out auntie Caley...Haddie was the only one that would even go up in the clouds, Syd is super scared of heights. 

Leave it to my girls to leave with more water on them than any other kid that walked out of the water room...only Syd would wash her hair after taking a bath that morning, she's water obsessed!

Ok, there's an update...hopefully they'll be more frequent!
