Georgia Belle newborn photos

Georgia Belle is lucky that her dad is pretty good at taking pictures. It makes it pretty convenient.
Still love taking pictures of dan taking pictures.

6 days new and cute as can be.

 The kids love this one ^^ because she is picking her nose haha.

Final days before baby

So i'm still organizing photos and documenting the last few days before baby rad came.
The actual week leading up to her birth, I had to do daily stress tests to check babies heart rate (mentioned in earlier post)

Took the kids on a few bike rides in the 80* weather

And I decided that I either needed to chop all my hair off, or color it. So I thought I would color it first, and if it didn't satisfy my hair rut needs, then I would chop it. So here is the before picture of my hair.... ^^

And the after... 

It is pretty orange, but I actually really like it. And look at that torpedo belly!! (last belly photo--just hours before baby rad 3)

So glad my mom was here--the kids loved having her here so much!

Later this night, we would head to the hospital!!!!

Love notes and some pretty darn cute girls (before Georgia arrived)

Stori is really into writing notes for people. Lately, dan and I will wake up to little notes either hanging up, on the table, or on our pillows. She is such a little sweetheart. 

^this one is to me, and the lower one is to Dan

When dan had to do a big trial for class, she woke up before everyone and cut out a HUGE piece of paper the size of our kitchen table, and wrote him a note. She hung it up on our dinning room for him to see. It says, "we love you dad. I wil miss you win (when) you go to take a big tesd (test). We wil miss you. Astoria."

Her and Sylvie are also always creating pictures for us on their white board.

 ^for some reason this is one of my favorite pictures. Super messy bedroom, but so much going on.

3 kids

Life with 3 kids is actually a tiny bit easier than I had imagined. Obviously she's still in the "sleep all day and night" stage, but we have found it to be an easy transition so far. 
Since my mom left however, we have had something crazy happen every. single. day.

First day taking Stori to school with all the kids, we had a flat tire on the van--so I had to pile them in a stroller and RUN to Stori's school. Man was I out of shape. Then the next day the car battery died when I picked up Stori from school. Luckily dan came and rescued us. Then I got strep throat the next day. Then dan got it the day after. Then I took Georgia in to get her umbilical cord checked (it was bleeding because it came off too soon😖), and then took  her to her 2 week check up (our family doctor knows us well now haha). Then I did a big solo shopping trip with all the girls to maceys... which turned into yet another dead battery after the shopping... but this time dan was doing a trial class until 11pm so I couldn't call him. I said a prayer and this nice man parked next to us and fixed it for us! Stori said, "wow Heavenly Father heard your words really fast huh?!" Indeed he did. ☺️

Then just today I had to take Stori into the doctor because she has 2 infected fingers. So the doc drained one of them, and put her on a 10 day antibiotic. We also have to soak them in soapy water 8x's a day. poor little "Storsies" (sylvie's new nickname for store. that or just Stores).

Sooooo.... a lot of crazy things happening, but all relatively good trials. We have a healthy Georgia Belle, and a family that loves each other very much, so we are very blessed. 

[Birth story coming once dan gets me the pictures from his camera]
