Stutzman, Family of Five?!?!: July 2011

Well, its been two wonderful weeks since little miss Anna joined our family! Carly was induced on Friday July 8th. Things started slowly and finally started progressing around 6 pm that night. Auntie Becca and Great Grandma June showed up around 7pm that night and so Mark went off to dinner with them. Needless to say Daddy did make it back from dinner in time but still missed her being born! It went pretty fast at the end and we were thrilled to find out we had a baby girl!!!! She was born at 9:02 pm weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 19 7/8 inches long. Carly's Mom and Step-Dad were here with their motorhome to take care of the boys! Jackson LOVED sleeping in the motorhome!! They stayed for a week and we were all sad to see them go! Jackson especially since he now has to sleep in his boring bedroom!

Anna is a good baby! She has her days and nights a little confused but sleeps pretty well as long as she's is nestled up with Momma! We, will get there! She was up to 8lbs 2oz at her 10 day check up so she is doing just great! Jackson just loves her and Im sure Waylon does too, but he's having a bit of a hard time adjusting to sharing Momma! Momma, however, is LOVING having some pink around, more so than she ever thought!

Yesterday was Jackson's third birthday! We had friends over to celebrate with cake and homemade ice cream! He has been asking for a big Mater for a few months now and was very happy to get one for his birthday! He is almost potty trained minus naps and bedtime. He is growing so fast and makes us proud and mad everyday! HAHA!

Mark starts working out of town again starting this week but wont be too far incase of crisis! Our friends in our community have graciously signed up to bring us meals three times a week and it has been wondeful! I couldn't have asked for anything more helpful then NOT having to cook!!!

Carly and the kids are planning a trip over to the westside August 12th through the middle of that next week. Hope to see some of you then!
