The little one is finally here! I'll refer to him as "CJ" here on the bloggie.
He made a dirty diaper for me right away and I got my first chance to change a boy diaper. That's a lot of wiping! The girls are in love with him and Josie loves holding the bottle to help feed him. Lili keeps trying to be a binkie thief. She almost poked his eye out pointing and saying "bay-bee" LOL. They are very excited.
I forget how tiny they are. All of my kiddos have been preemies and this is my first full term baby so I was expecting a big boy. But 8 pounds isn't really that big! He loves being swaddled and carried in the pouch sling. I love just looking at him.
I decided to make some comfort food for dinner tonight. We're having our traditional Christmas eve dinner - Polish sausage and pierogies. Welcome to the house baby CJ!

Wow! What exciting news. Congratulations.
A baby fills up a space in your heart that you didn't know was there. Congratulations!
Welcome little guy!! Glad to hear you got baby boy stuff coming!!
What a happy post! My kids loved the slings too.
Congratulation! Do you know about the delayed reaction when changing boys? We were lucky with Baby R but I'd learned the hard way before. LOL
Oh YAY! Congrats!!!!
