Time Please Stop

As I sit here with a sleeping baby on my chest,  I realize how fast time goes by. It doesn't seem like so long ago that this newborn on my chest was Lizzybug. In a few short weeks, our lives will change forever as she walks through the doors of her elementary school.  I can't believe she's entering kindergarten.  I have such a mixture of emotions everything from fear to excitement. My greatest fear is that Liz won't have friends,  that she will be labeled the "weird" kid and be bullied. I pray that at least one child is able to love and accept her. I'm excited because this is is a new adventure for her. My goal is to help her find her wings, to be as independent as possible, and this is the first step for her. So with a leap of faith we are preparing for kindergarten.

Baby Boy is here!

Liz seems to be handling it relatively well. The main thing has been attempting to teach her boundaries and rules. She wants to be a little more independant with him than she should be.
The birth story: He is probably my most boring birth story yet! In a good way! After fighting pre eclampsia in 2 pregnancies, I managed to dodge the bullet in my third.  I went in for my scheduled c-section at 39 weeks and 2 days. My blood pressure did drop (had this happen with Presley as well) due to the anstheia, but I had an amazing ansethologist who handled the problem quickly and an amazing doctor who showed me lots of compassion.They brought Colby in soon after that. They had him out shortly after. It did take them a little a longer because they had to cut through all the scar tissue, but he arrived perfectly healthy and absolutely adorable.
Now for the pictures of his cuteness.
