We were so blessed to welcome our third daughter into our family on July 5. After a hot summer, I was ready to no longer be pregnant though the unknown of how life would be with another child made me a little apprehensive. Paysen came into the world with a little help from pitocin and an hour of pushing. She was 9 lbs and 21.5 inches making her the largest in our family so far. We were both quite surprised by her weight and even more surprised that I was able to deliver her. It was our second successful VBAC which we consider a great answer to prayer.
The girls LOVE their sister. Cora and Kalli express their love to her all day long through hugs, kisses, words, actions, and time. Kalli would sit and hold Paysen as long as I will let her. She is so gentle and sweet with Paysen. The girls are quick to get Paysen her pacifier, diaper, or burp cloth as well as toys.
Our little one is now 7 weeks old and we are adjusting to life as a family of 5. One parent is always in charge of more than 1 and often in charge of all 3 and we have both managed well. Yesterday we arrived at an event and I noticed Paysen had stickers on her shirt. Peter's response was, "Hey, I was holding Paysen and her sisters were putting stickers on her. I knew where all 3 were at the same time which seems like the goal." I had been grocery shopping at the time childless which goes MUCH quicker without all three girls.
