The Yardsale

So Mom, the kiddos, and I came home on Saturday to a funny story. Shane and Dad had been having a yardsale at our house as we were out and apparently some ladies had just left. Shane had said the ladies were laughing about an incident as they shopped in our driveway. They asked Shane and Dad if they had checked all of our boxes because some lady at a previous yardsale had come across some adult media as she was rifling through a box. She said the man having the yardsale was dumbfounded as the lady pulled a movie out of the box and asked if that was supposed to be in there. She said he fumbled around then took the movie. The lady told Shane that the woman shopping looked a little further into the box, looked back at the man, laughed and said, "There's more!" She said the man's face was all red as he put the items for sale into a new box.

To put the icing on the cake, after Shane had told us his story, I giggled then looked at him and said:

"It was ME!"

Emily holding Josias by herself for the first time.

Emily loves to pull off his hat, mittens, and socks. She also likes to climb onto the side of the pack and play to see him. "Baby see! Baby see!"

Josias around 10:30 pm. He used to kick me at about that time every evening, go figure!

GG, Josias, and Emily

Our first night home with baby Josias was a restless one. He got up every hour between 11pm and 7 am wanting to eat. Diapering has proven to be an adventure in itself. If I'm not using 2 diapers per change, I'm doing a wardrobe change. I think we may go broke buying diapers and laundry detergent! I guess it was a sign of things to come when they placed him on my chest just after delivery and he christened me in yellow :-p

Josias

Josias Edwin was born 8lbs, 20 1/2". Apgars 8/9.

Olivia was happy. While the labor was as fast as last time (90min from arrival to hospital) they had in house anesthesia, so she got an epidural and stated the difference in with and without epidural was remarkable.


Josias after Dad gave him his first bath (which he did not care for).

Josias (Edwin) received his name sake's melon attributes. To the amazement of his nurses, his head circumference was the same as his chest circumference (ie. hoghead). Thanks Ed! If he has Ed's appetite too, I'll need some help with my retirement funding.

Looks like another strawberry blonde. He did enjoy having his hair washed.

Josias just after birth (and hungry). Looks like he may have Ed's appetite afterall.

CLICK PLAY FOR VIDEO!! He cried for quite some time, but then settled down and began to explore our faces while we were up close. He certainly seemed to identify with familiar voices.
