I wish I were a blogger

I really do wish I could keep up with this blog stuff. Obviously, it has been awhile since I've posted! Since then, we've doubled our number of children! Wren Delane Smith was born on august 13, 2011 at 11:10 am. Maybe one day I will post her amazing birth story. The Cliff Notes version is this: we hired a wonderful doula. My contractions started early in the mowning, and I labored at home (with Caryn's help) until about 6:30. We got to the hospital around 7 and I managed to complete my labor without any pain medication. I was only able to do this with Bill squeezing my hips during each contraction to help manage my back labor. Wren was born after only 10 minutes of pushing!

Here we are 5 months later, and life has changed a lot! Wells is a great big brother, and he loves his sister. Wren has been a bit of a challenge, with reflux and a milk protein intolerance. (I could have bored you with lots of stories as we tried to figure all of that out, but I was way too busy to blog!)

I'm currently sitting in the rocking chair with Wren asleep on my chest. Wells is napping in his bed. As crazy as it is, all is right with my world.
