We are SO excited to have welcomed Henry "Hank" Benson Murray on Thursday @ 10:01 a.m.
He weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces & is as KISSABLE as ever.
Charlie, Ila, & Gus are super excited & Gus is feeling MUCH better now that he knows Hank will be with us FOREVER---and not just a couple of days. He's funny.

The Bump
Here I am--36 weeks preg in all it's glory.
And also Hank---snuggled up right next to his hand & the umbilical cord.
I had this ultrasound done on Wednesday. The ultrasound tech is so friendly & is always willing to do a 4D for $0----can't beat it. He's measuring a bit ahead & I'm SO hoping next week will be THE week. The tech said he was weighing 7 lb 8 oz---with 3 weeks 3 days to go.
I cried. Really.
I'm better now, although that night I went to bed & I dreamed about BIG things all night long. Random things, like tree trunks. . .but not BIG babies or BIG babies HEADS. Just tree trunks.

Do the 4D pictures freak you out/make you cringe or can you SEE the sweet baby? All my kids have that same nose---just a little button.

You know you missed us.
Things that have happened since the last time I blogged:
I gained 10 pounds. Hopefully some of that went to the baby & not ALL me.
Charlie went kindergarten supply shopping. He learned to ride on 2 wheels.
I became ADDICTED to couponing & now have a years supply of ALL toiletries.
Ila started putting her pee and poop in the potty. Her pudgy butt is SO cute in panties. She also puts entire rolls of toilet paper, toys, wrappers & other necessities INTO the potty--and tops it off with one big FLUSH.
Gus fell . . .or as he tells it, JUMPED, off of the 4-wheeler onto the pavement. A little roadrash. He is way excited about preschool & has become quite the make-believer.
Mountain biking has lured Randy in, as has selling bike parts in his (my) spare time. He also took his wife canoeing (thanks Bekki for taking the kiddos)----and then he asked me to turn around because I was facing the wrong direction in the canoe--who knew?. Mind you my equilibrium in OR out of a canoe at this point is no good. I tried to turn around but lost it halfway through and dumped the canoe.
Hank is now carefully nested up into my right rib. Ila can't wait to MEET him & do all the FUN things she already does to her baby dolls.

Concrete overlay Randy did at a resort in Branson, MO last month--5000 square feet.
August highlights: Hank arrives (hopefully will be a July highlight), Ila turns 2, Charlie turns 5 & is off to kindergarten---
I go nuts.
