It's A Girl!

Abby (Jim's sister) and Aaron have finally had a baby girl at 1:55pm today (Eastern Time). She was almost 2 whole weeks late so they were very very eager for her to finally get here. Everyone is doing well!

Jim and I have Catherine (his younger sister) in town this weekend along with my sister and brother in law Shannon and Steve. Yesterday we drove to Milwaukee (Jim, Josh, and I) to go pick up Catherine who took the ferry over from MI. On the way back we stopped at Chipotle for dinner. YUM! After dinner we decided it would be best to change Joshua's diaper before heading back home. Jim was changing him in the back of the car... when we realized this was the biggest poop he has had yet... and it was everywhere. So I helped by holding his legs so dad could really get the wipe around him... Joshua screamed and screamed... and then got quiet... and I wasn't fast enough to react to the quietness and he peed over himself and onto the stroller that was propped up in the trunk. Once this stopped the screaming continued. Dad was still trying to wipe the poop off of him when he decided to let it go once again - but this time it was a full bladder and he covered himself and the blanket he was on along with the clean diaper. So 2 diapers later, a full wet wipe bath, a soaking wet outfit and blanket, we were finally back on the road! So so funny!

Joshua had a good night last night - sleeping for 4 hours between feedings. Thank goodness! And then his aunts Shannon and Catherine took over picking up the house and watching him while I got some more sleep! I officially got 8 hours of sleep last night! Not continuous - but 8 hours! So nice!

Today we took Joshua and Hilo for a walk and gave Joshua a much needed bath. At 4 pm this afternoon we have friends coming over for a cookout. We hope the weather cooperates tonight so we can have a bonfire and be outside. That is all for now!

Isn't the help great when you have a newborn??? I loved every minute of it.

Also, how fun that your SIL had a baby not too long after Joshua was born. It will be wonderful to have Joshua's cousins so close in age. My sister had her 3rd and final boy 3 weeks before my girls were bron. It is so amazing to see them interact.

Thanks for the great updates!!!

I love the poop story, I had a similar experience at a football game with my daughter:) Gotta love the super poops!

Sounds like you are feeling great to be having cookouts and stuff, glad to hear it!
