the haps

my last visit to the blog was Beckham's birthday.
october 29th.
since then a few things have happened. 
packing again.
moving again.
unpacking again.
having a baby.
and still unpacking.

it has all been extremely chaotic.
but on the tail end of it, 
so wonderful!

haven't taken pictures of the new house yet, 
but it has a fire place.
and this is it.
i still need a stocking hanger for stocking #6.

baby wasn't due till the 19th, 
but i was done being pregnant. 
i spent the morning of the 10th running stairs at the doctors office,
and doing lunges and jogging in place.
i bounced that baby down, down, down.
she sent me over to delivery and after an afternoon of numb legs and ice chips, 
Sawyer was born at 8:46 p.m.
one good push and he was out.
my mom, nate, and his mom were with me.
we forgot the camera so all the awkward birthing pictures are on phones somewhere.
