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.
The two biggest girls are very helpful around the house. Soul, gets tired after like 2 minutes, and it's mostly playing and complaining from her. She's still only 4, so she still gets a pass once in awhile, but getting passes isn't going to be an ongoing thing. She better not get used to it. I can see how oldest siblings can sometimes feel more pressured with responsibility than the rest. True's my to-to gal in helping out, but I need to make sure as all the kids mature, that they all become my go-to gals. Brave's pretty helpful too and they (True and Brave) have the same chores list to do around the house, but I think I just automatically ask True to do things more often because she's the oldest.
I think I'll need to work on being intentional to have the same expectations from Soul and Glow when they're ready for it. I could see how babies of the family can be babied because they just seem younger than the older ones, and aren't given the same expectations and same level of responsibility. Birth order (typically) plays a role in things, doesn't it?
So for now, the big two work as the little two play. Yesterday evening, the girls and I had good conversations at the dinner table and then we (True, Brave, and I) worked together to clean-up. It was a calm evening of quick obedience and no fighting, and I'm thankful when those moments happen. True and Brave were singing as they were working and I left my camera on the counter on to catch them; they laughed and suddenly got shy when they discovered my secret filming.

josi- i use the swaddling method they taught us at the hospital! maybe i should do a tutorial?

Thanks, Ruby! And does it really work? Do you have the feeling that your kids were more calm and relaxed while using this method?
