are you sure you and ben don't want to keep going? cuz you make pretty babies. and i'm curious to see how different each additional baby would look. 🙂 glow is a good mix of all of you! 🙂 are you sure?? maybe just one more! haha!
so cute!! Please write a post about your Hypnobirthing experience please! I am going to do it for this delivery, and would love your insight on your experience!!
the birth happened so fast and now it all feels kind of surreal just thinking about it. i will write it down, but for some reason my heart just isn't exactly quite ready to. it was such an emotional time i think.
She is soooo adorable! Do you use the swaddeling-method of Harvey Karp? It looks like this. Does it really work? I really want to know, because I'm thinking about using it for my baby.
i looked up the harvey karp method and that is indeed how i swaddle my babies. so the hospital they were born at follows that method as well. i am sure you can find a plethora of you tube videos on that method of swaddling.
If you follow on instagram, then you know our biggest girl just turned 9 this past weekend! I can hardly believe it! I remember the day she was born so clearly, just as if it happened yesterday. These past nine years have been really hard, but not because she's difficult, but it has been a battle of fighting my own self-centeredness. I'm the difficult one. I have no clue how these kids live with me! Being a mother, at least a good mother, is a role that demands a lot of selflessness, and honestly, that doesn't come natural to me. It's taken a long time for my heart to understand denying myself, trusting in Jesus, and living out grace. Even still, I suck at it and that is precisely why I need more Jesus. Every single day goes like this... I mess up, ask for forgiveness, pray my heart believes the grace and mercy given at the cross, and things are fine and dandy, but then... boom! And repeat all of that about twenty times over.
I chose a pink fabric for her birthday dress because pink is her favorite color. I was going to do grey and something similar to my eye dress, but knew she would like pink much more. Just like the eye dress, I had initially planned to do a shift style, but with the girly glitter shoes she was going to get for her birthday, I thought a drop waist would be much more adorable. To make the nine tally marks, I just used black fabric paint and hand-painted them on. If you have my book, you know we are all about creating our own patterns on fabric. And of course, before you do any painting or sewing on your fabric, it is best to wash your fabric first. Next, iron it, and then go to town painting (or sewing). To heat set the design on, I allowed the paint to dry completely, and then press the fabric again to heat set in place (use some scrap fabric between in case any of the paint bleeds off).
Happy birthday my dear True! We love you whole heck of a lot!Â
*I got the 9 sparkler from Nothing Bundt Cakes, but this one from amazon is similar.

josi- i use the swaddling method they taught us at the hospital! maybe i should do a tutorial?
i looked up the harvey karp method and that is indeed how i swaddle my babies. so the hospital they were born at follows that method as well. i am sure you can find a plethora of you tube videos on that method of swaddling.
Thanks, Ruby! And does it really work? Do you have the feeling that your kids were more calm and relaxed while using this method?
