One Month

So this title has two meanings. My little guy is already one month old and we have one month until we leave for Nigeria. Let me just say I dont know how people have more than two kids. Maelyn is such a handful herself, I tell people she is like 5 kids in one so I feel like I have 6 kids now! So I am DONE having kids.

People say that delivery gets easier, but not for me. Monsons delivery was twice as long as Maelyns. I am just glad it is over. The doctor told me he didnt think I was going to make it to my due date because at 35 weeks I was already dialated and 50% effaced. So Victor made his flight home a little earlier so he wouldnt miss the delivery. Well Monson was stubborn and didnt want to come out so I had to be induced. I had the baby on Sunday morning and Victor left for Nigeria the next morning. It was hard having everything happen all at once. The kids and I leave for Nigeria on February 10th. We are so excited to be reunited as a family again. We all have our shots and are just waiting for the babies passport so we can send in for the visa.





Maelyn is so proud of her little brother!

I'm so happy to hear you guys get to be together! Owen commuted back and forth from Washington for over a month and it was hard, I can't imagine how hard it has been for you! Hope all goes well :) Ps. Your kids are adorable!!
