The Sibs

Oh my. The love (and hate) that these kids have for each other is something else. Some days are good. Some days are bad. Some days there is mad love and others...well not so much.

One of my favorite thing briggs does to quinn: Hi baby sister, I lob you, did you sleep good. good.

One of my favorite things briggs does to ari: Sissy's room, snuggle.

The day...

I found out I was prego with #3....I was 1 day late.

I kept feeling light headed and spazzy, wasn't sure if it was from a new energy drink I had been drinking or what the heck was going on. I remember vividly teaching a class and having to stop because I thought I was going to pass out. Something was up!

AND, Coaster boy and I had gotten to the point of him getting a little snip snip action. We had always thought we would have another for Briggs' sake (Ari will be off to college when he went into 3rd grade) but we had a set back and I got a little crazy after changing careers and being a stay at home mom. Frankly, some days I was miserable being home allllllll day with one toddler and one hormonal preteen. And of course when we had planned be done, thinking there was no way I could add another child to my already chaotic life...2 weeks later, I'm prego. I'm PREGO. Still trying to wrap my head around this one. 

We waited to tell Lulu as, well... I knew she wasn't going to be happy. Briggs is plenty of action and noise  for this type A child who likes quiet and tons of personal space. Her attention was completely divided, it wasn't just her anymore. Things changed for her big time.

So we finally told her after our 12 week appointment...she wasn't happy. She even said: I'm shocked. I'm not sure 3 months later she is that much more excited about it. But she has come up with some baby names.  I know now she's not excited, but I don't think she realizes how awesome it is to have a sitter. A little sissy, she is going to be the best big sister.

Don't they both looked thrilled??

My little sister, Katie got married last weekend in Indiana.
I went solo. My sister went solo. And my bro went solo.

It was so fun. I needed it badly.

Finally

We have a crawler! Briggs is on the move. From one end of the house to other. Not just army crawling but moving those legs back and forth. Nothing cuter than a little baby crawling.

I think one of my favorite things as a momma has been watching Lu and Briggs love on each other. When Briggs sees Ari in the morning for the first time he squeals. When Lu gets home from school, she goes straight for her bro for a kiss. They love each other madly. 

Hi

Heyyyyooooo

Loves of my life.

Sibs

Love our mornings....

Lu comes in to snuggle her bro.

He farts. We all laugh really hard.

A couple minutes later, she comes in and ask Zebbie if she can wear one of his ties.

Look at her outfit! She said she saw a girl at school wear a tie and she really wanted too. So naturally, Zeb hands her over his wedding tie.

And like she does almost every morning, she picked out his outfit. 

A little tie for Briggsy too.

I am just loving all of this.

All of it.

My cup is over flowing.

Big time.
