Another boy to our brood!

Alexander Scott Baidas joined the world today at 5:08 p.m., measuring 21" long and weighing a whopping 9 lbs. 3 oz.! The biggest Baidas boy yet!

I took two crazy boys to meet their new brother, an experience I'm so lucky to have shared with them. On the way there, Lucas said, "So, me, Anthony, Papa and Alexander...four boys. Mama's all alone." I said, well, if I come over...and bring Claire..." to which he replied, "There still won't be as many girls though. Alex makes one more."

And, in true "Kids say the darndest things" fashion, Lucas of course had to ask his Mama, "Why are you still fat?" Just what you want to hear about an hour after giving birth, right? As you can see, though, Sarah looks amazing. You'd never know.

Anyway, it was hilarious to watch the boys, one minute totally ignoring the new baby, the other minute, staring in awe. Lucas was more afraid of him than anything at first, getting as far away from his as possible and plugging his ears when he started to cry.



Anthony asking Papa questions about Alex's first bath (by nurse Kathy).

Lucas was not a fan of the crying... Sarah told him he won't cry ALL the time though.

Three boys! Lord help us.


First smooches.






Look at those big feet!

De-wish-shus

I'm sure we can all agree with Anthony on this point.

Sarah's Birthday Dinner

Mike, Ellie, and Hannah made a lovely birthday cake for Sarah!



Lovely mother and daughter!


What a beautiful family!


Lovely birthday girl! Do I see a little shining gem on her nose? :-)


It was a fun evening at Sarah's favorite pizza place, Papa C's in Clarksville!

Happy Birthday, Marc and Sarah!

Happy Birthday today to Marc Burrows and Sarah Marion! Hope you both have a great birthday today!


Sorry I've been totally slacking on the blog lately -- hopefully someone of you will take me up on my offer to post! Either way, sorry if I missed some birthdays (not that any of them read the blog! Ha!)

Visitors!

I got some visitors today! It was the longest I have been on my feet in a week and I think it's safe to say we're all going to sleep well tonight. :) Great to see my munchkins and get some get well smooches though! Both Sarah and I are moving pretty slowly, but between the two of us we should equal one fully capable guardian by the time I head back to the front lines next week! I'm currently mowing through the pack of Neco Wafers they brought me -- I think they have healing powers.

T minus 25 days to baby time! This baby is measuring pretty darn big, so maybe we'll see him or her before the Aug. 31 due date? (But you have to admit, Sarah looks great, huh?)


Though they said they were going to visit me "on bed rest" about two seconds after they entered my bedroom, they took off to see the cats.

For the first time I got to see really how sweet Lucas is with animals. He is so sweet and gentle with them. And was sure to stick to Tobias, after I told him Tobias will always let you pet him, but sometimes Lucy gets a little cranky.

There were some fun things at Titi's that they don't have at their house. Not too long after this, they got out Grandma June's Boggle, which is housed in my coffee table.


More sweetness.

The Lego's, which haven't been played with in a couple of months, got cat hair all over Anthony's shirt, so I nabbed a lint brush. Anthony then took to lint brushing the floors, the chairs, my feet even!



They were pretty big fans of our new couch and "the secret" way it reclines.

This is Anthony saying, "Meow. Now you do it!" to Tobias.

Love of My Life

Here's is Janet and Harv's story about finding their "Love of My Life."

I'd love to have some details about the cruise, the song, and more form Janet to post too!

In the meantime, here's the link: Love of My Life

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

I know I'm missing birthdays left and right, but I'm all laid up and it's Daniel's birthday, so.... Happy Birthday Dan! He turns 34 today (just a couple of months younger than Sarah and Nick!)

He's spending the day taking care of me, mowing the lawn and going to the gym. Good times!

Happy Birthday!
