little man

yet again, I am amazed at how the Lord increases the love of a mother's heart in so brief a moment. I am already so love with my new baby boy. I wish I could somehow bottle the sweet new baby smell, capture the newness of his little cry, and remember how snuggly and sweet those first moments are. I'm so enjoying our new little guy, can't wait to introduce him to Tyler and Jack. Here's a couple more pictures from day 1!

We're Here

...Tali's here, I'm here, we're ready to go. Pitocin was started at 8:15am, she's 3cm dilated, 90% effaced, and -1 station. Thanks for your prayers! More updates to come...

Baby Update 1....

well, we are about to leave.... I have been up for a while- filled with nervous excitement. It's amazing how exciting and nerve wracking this time can be! Bags are packed, kiddos are at Grandma's, house is clean, and we are as ready as we can be!

our last day as a family of 4....

So today was our last day as a family of 4! Hard for me to believe sometimes that we will have 3 little boys to love on and our family is growing by 1 more tomorrow, and yet there have been many moments where I thought this day would NEVER come! Tomorrow morning, gosh, in a few short hours, we are heading to the hospital to be induced. In case you were wondering why get induced and not wait it out- well, it is really due to the size of the baby and my past history of having my babies get "stuck" with something called shoulder distocia. Basically, they have broad shoulders and I have a narrow pelvic bone, and bone on bone can lead to difficulty getting the little guys out. Both Jack and Tyler had it (Tyler was by far the most difficult), and given the size they are predicting this little boy to be- well, it just doesn't make sense for us to let him keep getting fatter any more. If you remember, 4 weeks ago he was almost 7lbs (give or take a little in either direction)...

An update

Long long long overdue, here is the latest going on here at the Kauflin casa ! My sister's baby Addison came home a few weeks ago, and is healing so well. She is adjusting to life at home, and is at times, giving my sister and her hubby a tough time, being a little bit more than average on the fussy side. But I know they are just so happy that she is whole and healthy, that all the fussiness is worth it all. I went down to North Carolina a few weeks ago and here are a few picts of my little niece , Lotte and my massive belly! A little side story about all my trips to NC.... the day of Addison's surgery, on the way home from the hospital, I was involved in a car accident. My car ended up needing repairs in such a way, that I had to leave it down there and drive a rental car home. The boys were with me, and we were all fine! But, it left us with a small rental for 2 weeks and another drive down required! Needless to say, I think I have driven more times to NC in the past two mo
