(Baby A just turned 1 year, so it’s about time to post about her birth. I wrote most of this 8+ months ago. See the other three birth stories here, here, and here.) Tale as old as time: I was past my due date. This was my fourth baby, and between the four I spent … Continue reading
Letter to Baby C #4 Before Her Birth
Dear Daughter, How did I get so lucky? Every one of my kids is so special, and now we get you?!? You’re coming to meet us soon. I can feel your kicks and wiggles every day and even right now. I wonder what your personality will be like. From knowing your siblings, I know without … Continue reading
Letter to LF on her Third Birthday
I got back in the birthday letter game for KLC’s 8th birthday and then fell off the wagon for both LF’s January birthday AND X’s February birthday. So here I am, one month late for your birthday, baby girl, but no less excited to welcome you into your 3 year old year. One month in, … Continue reading
Letter to KLC on her Eighth Birthday
Read my past letters here (includes birth and 1 YO) here (2 YO), here (3YO), here (4YO), and here (5 YO). It’s clearly been a while, but no time like the present to restart!
LF: 2 Months and 3 Months
Here we are, plugging along with updates! LF’s stats (measured at a well check at 2.5 months) Head: 15 3/4 cm Length: 23 3/4 in Weight: 12 lb 13 oz (clothed) Last post, I pondered whether LF would catch KLC’s baby stats, and she has surpassed her in weight. She had a huge eating spurt! … Continue reading
LF: 1 Month

Letter to X on His 3rd Birthday
Dear X, I ended my last birthday letter to you this way, “You are easy to love. You are a delight. I have learned from you once again how to play and delight in the world around me.” Would it be terrible to say that this year can be summed up the same way and … Continue reading
LF’s Birth Story
Amazing! Another baby came into our family on January 11, 2018. The ultrasound said that the baby would be a girl, and the due date was January 1, 2018. I heard on a birthing podcast (yes, those exist. “The Birth Hour” is my favorite) that it’s typical to look at your last birth as the normative one. Baby X … Continue reading
The Night Before Birth…LF Edition
Our newest baby, LF, is here! I am working on the birth story. Before she was born, I wrote this letter to welcome her to the world: Dear Baby C, It’s currently 2:21 AM on December 29, 2017. You might be born today. I’m having trouble sleeping. I’m so excited to meet you. This happened with your brother … Continue reading
Letter to KLC on her Fifth Birthday
Read my past letters here (includes birth and 1 YO) here (2 YO), here (3YO), and here (4YO). I’ve posted almost zero this year. Wow. Blogging in general has taken a backseat for many to social media such as Instagram, and I’m included in that number. Additionally, this spring I had my private Instagram account taken over, and it was … Continue reading
