Handy Randy

I have decided to make a new segment to the blog called 'Handy Randy.' We will be following the many projects that Randy starts...and sometimes he even finishes them! This is his latest conquest. My most wonderful husband has made a gate for our porch. Now I can let Mabel and Charlie go out without worrying about where they are at. It's mostly for Charlie (and soon to be Faye) who has figured out how to go down the stairs, but is still pretty shaky and freaks me out. Here is Mabel helping ensure her captivity. Huahuahua (evil laugh)!!! Little does she know...she now hates the gate because she realized it locks her onto the porch, SUCKER!!!

Handy Katie, wuh? Psych! Randy built it. I am faking help, I didn't do a thing to build it.

Cutest prisoners EVER!!!

Look how Randy matched it to the original porch railing. He rocks!

Welcome Faye Evelyn Teed

So here's the story. On Monday, March 29th, we went to my Dr. appointment and left thoroughly disappointed as he would not agree to induce me until Thursday, April 1st. After the longest three days of my life, I woke up at 2:30am and waited for 7am to arrive on the 1st. Here I am looking absolutely thrilled to head out to the hospital at 6am. BEST labor and delivery EVER!!! They started the patocin (can't spell) at 7:45am. The Dr. broke my water at 9:30 and she was born at 12:48pm. That's really all there was to it. 9lbs. 3oz. 21 1/4 inches long. I only pushed for maybe 2 and 1/2 minutes!!!

Here is Charlie playing with my makeup and dressing up with Faye's bow.

Here is Faye's giant head with her double chin!

Mabel looks great in this picture.

Charlie stole Randy's strawberry slush.

Here they are Mabel, Charlie, and Faye.

Faye is not a real baby. At least not yet. Maybe she will wake up next week or at some point in the near future. She wakes up twice a night to eat. During the day she wakes up every 3-6 hours to eat. Sometimes I have to wake her up. The kids love her. Randy's mom is here for a few more days helping out. We are doing great and are looking forward to this new adventure in our lives!
