A Rainy CT Weekend!

Uncle Bob with a very sleepy Katie sitting on our new couches - they are so comfy!
Sleepy baby!
This is how Annie came home from Grammy and Papa's exhausted and ready for bed!
Annie and Katie playing!
Annie kept laying in front of Katie and letting her play with her hair and eyes - it was kind of funny!

My poor sister in law is in the hospital for the weekend with a knee infection that required medical supervision to be sure it did not get out of hand. Karla is quite a tropper - feeling crappy and sick but taking it on the chin and only worrying about the kids. So the only good thing that comes out of all of this is that we get our sweet little Katie Bean for the weekend - 2 full nights with Katie would make anyone feel lucky- especially knowing that Karla is fine and safely being watched during the hurricane! So here are a few pictures of Katie with the kids - what a great baby she is - smiling and happy most of the time!

Peter loves to hug Katie and he makes her smile instantly when he dances for her!
Annie and Daddy - she was a bit jealous of our attention to Katie but Grammy and Papa rescued her and brought her to their house for some quality time. She came home exhausted and toddling all over the place. Oh, and bathed - gotta love the grandparents!
Molly girl and Katie hanging out - Katie is wearing a pair of Annie's pj's that were hand me downs from Molly!
More hugs fom Molly!


Kisses from Molly!
A little off center but i love how big and bright her eyes look in this one! What a beauty!
Uncle Bob and his goddaughter - she lights up with him - probably because he gushes all over her!

A bottle from Uncle Bob! What a treat to get Katie to ourselves for the entire weekend. Sometimes when the kids are babies you feel like you don't know them because you aren't there daily - we have loved getting to know Katie better - she is a doll! So say a prayer for Karla that her knee gets better on its own and does not require surgery!

Auntie Beth let us know that she is coming home for Nola's birth and again for 2 weeks at Christmas - the kids can't wait! They are both plugging things into the calendar in anticipation!
Look to the left for Nola's latest headshots - she is 3 pounds 14 ounces and very big for her age. We are going to go for a few extra tests just in case but she appears very healthy and just loving life in the womb. Her heartrate was 146 beats per minute and her latest echocardiogram was 100% perfect with 4 chambers beating in sync and arteries and veins of the heart doing just what they are meant to do. She has a slight heart murmur - as did Annie - but they are not at all concerned about it at this point so neither are we. I start my twice weekly non-stress tests on Monday - UGGGGG. An hour attached to a monitor while I stare at the ceiling - since my role is to track her every movement as I feel it by pushing a button they do not let you read or do anything else! Still planning for a c-section on the 11th and still hoping to go into labor and try to deliver on my own so we'll see. She is finally head down so you never know!

GNM - ILY!
