Driving, Laundry & Dishes

Well, it was a nice maternity leave while it lasted. I headed back to work on June 18th. It was bittersweet. 12 weeks at home with William felt a little long. 8 weeks home with Christopher felt a little short. Unfortunately we’re paying 2 mortgages until we sell our old rental house so going back to work was the smart thing… Read more →

Houston, We’ve got a Cuddler

Whereas William continues to NOT be a cuddly child, his brother so far is a very cuddly baby. Amazing how different two babies can be. It has been a rather pleasant change of pace and forces me to slow down and enjoy this little guy. Christopher’s current favorite activities include eating, sleeping, spitting up randomly, smiling, attempting to coo, and… Read more →

4 weeks old (almost)

Tomorrow Christopher will be a whopping 4 weeks old! Eventually he’ll get a few months under his belt, but for now we’re still measuring in weeks.

Family of 4

It’s official. As of 4/24/2014 we became a family of 4! Christopher Quinn Baxter made his appearance via c-section at 1pm weighing 8lbs 15oz and measuring 20.5″ long. This c-section was scheduled, which in a lot of ways made things much simpler than last time, especially for someone like me who likes to plan well in advance. Not being induced… Read more →

3 days!

We’re having a baby in 3 days. How do I know this? Due to Will not wanting to come out (ever) we have a c-section scheduled for Thursday. It is technically 2 days before my due date, but as of last appointment NOTHING is moving with baby 2 so there’s a very good chance I would go over my due… Read more →
