~Emma Livingston~ Emma Livingston. She's absolutely precious. Mine have all been content,good babies ...but this little thing is oddly easy. She just doesn't cry unless she has an obvious need. I think she knows she's number 4 and just has to go with the flow! She's now 10 days old and we are STARTING to settle into a bit of a routine. For the most part, it's a routine of slight chaos but peaceful somehow. Brad has been true to form, a real work horse. He's bathing kids, washing dishes, getting dinner ready, cleaning bathrooms, and doing laundry. A little while ago, we passed each other in the hall; my arms full of dirty clothes, headed to the washing machine, his "cleaning shorts" on, Comet in hand, heading to the bathroom. We just smiled, I chuckled and thought to myself, "It's just nonstop work...constant motion". (Unless you have a housekeeper...which I have to say, I wouldn't reject the idea at the moment!) Then I thought, "This is kingdom work. There's nothing more important right now than this monotonous, mundane routine that takes every bit of us".      
Oh and for anyone who wants to know, she weighed 8lbs 12 oz. At least we think she did. There was that weight then one a few minutes later that said 8lbs. 6 oz.
 Doesn't matter much.She was probably my hardest labor but the easiest recovery. I delivered her about 6 hours after I started having pretty good contractions. It's funny how I forgot how little they are...and how precious.... ~Stacey | |
