In action...

Caught Beck spitting up on Jeff just as I was shaping this photo. :)

Ben & Beck

Ben is my big helper he has helped.me with a diaper change, holding.g Beck and even fed him 5cc in a bottle! I love having kids around to help!!!

Home at last.

We made it through our first night without any nursing staff! Beck nursed every 2 hours, we are going to have to work on increasing that, and did pretty well.

Dr Maas holds new baby ....

Such a proud papa! FYI no Jeffrey Jr here, just Beck.

Beck is for a few reasons.
1. If it was a girl she would be Becky after Jeff mom.
2. If it was a boy it would be Beck after Becky's mothers maiden name.
3. We wanted something that would reflect Jeff mom.

Did I post this pic?

I have pics with the kids holding Beck but they are on the camera that Jeff took home. But this one is cute too!

Unite girls night "out"...

...technically none of us were at home. I forgot to get a picture but Tuesday night Emily, Dawn and Julare brought cookies and flowers and came to visit me! This was so much fun, we visited, laughed and adored Beck for a while before they had to return to their mom duties. For me hospital evenings last forever are boring...and I can't sleep well. Having the girls over made time fly...that plus some Ambien at bed time made for a perfect evening.

Thank you!

PS. A special thanks also to everyone that has been so helpful with picking up our kids or watching them for baby appointments etc. We have been SO blessed with awesome people in our lives.

Jeff told me these past 9 months did not feel like the other pregnancies. I am sure this is because with him being so busy I had great friends that I could turn to. I owe a lot of favors, or I should say alot of " pay it forwards" ! You all will be greatly missed!!!

Sleeping the.afternoon away.

We will be discharged tonight and wont see Jeff again till he comes back for us, but that's ok were catching up on sleep.

So cute!

Lots of pics on the blog today because I am wide awake and the kids are with Jeff.

Few pics

Elise and Beck

She doesn't want to share him !

Breakfast blessings

I love it when you meet someone that kinda sticks in your  mind. There is a man here that works  delivering meal trays at Arnette. I remember him from a year ago, and this morning I could hear him as he came off the elevator, and imediatly it made me smile. This man radiates with joy, music and love. He delivers all the meals with a musical hum, and that's what I could hear.  He has a beautiful smile, and reminds me of a New Orleans Jazz player.  He always inquires about the new baby and then today as he left he said three times "Lord bless them". There is just something about him that is incredible.

 

I hope one day that I will have this short but lasting effect on people. because of him my morning feels so much happier and beautiful.  I don't even know if he realizes his effect on others, but its a talent and a blessing.

 

To any of my friends that have also deliverd at Arnette, do you know this man as well?

Waiting for Jeff and Elise to visit this morning.

First nights sleep

Beck did a great job, and I was able to get some good sleep.

Jeffrey Beck arrived 5:45 pm 7lbs 4 oz 20.5 inches long.

Longer delivery due to the need for antibiotics but we are all doing well.

Born at 37.5 weeks he is considered above the 100% for his weight making him a large baby! :)
