Made it Home

We made it home from the hospital this afternoon. Both kids are sleeping so I thought I would quickly post a couple of pictures before I head off to bed myself.

Simon Crane Bishop

Our little bundle of joy was born Friday April 8, 2011 at 8:03 pm. He weighed in at 9 pounds 12 ounces. He was 20 1/2 inches long. He is a big boy. We are so excited that he is here. Mom and baby are doing well.

Today is the Day

We are off to the hospital...

39 weeks

I can't believe I am posting this awful picture.



I am making up for it by posting a picture of Miriam.

Little Helper

Miriam loves to help around the house. She gets her need to clean from her mom.

Hanging Out

Today is a day to relax. Miriam woke up with a little bit of a cold yesterday and today it is worse. She didn't want to get dressed, so I let her stay in her pajamas. She just seems to look so sad when she is sick.


It is a good thing we went to the library last night and got three Go, Diego, Go DVD's. She is set for the day. Since she doesn't feel good I decided to bum around as well. We are just going to hang out today.



We will definitely have naps later. The weather doesn't look so great for tomorrow (chance of snow) so maybe we will just carry over into tomorrow. We can do what we want... right?

Just Waiting

Waiting for a baby to arrive is hard work. We spend most days just hanging out and doing what we can to prepare. Little by little I feel like the house is ready for a newborn. Remember my list from a while ago?
(NESTING)
Need to Finish:
*Buy diapers (small size) - on sale at Costco this week
*Sew flannel blankets and burp cloths - material is washed and ready
*Decide on blessing outfit (I have until July)
*Finish finding summer clothes for baby and Miriam - some great deals have been found already

We have diapers, I finished the blankets and burp cloths, I bought a few more summer clothes, and I am waiting to discuss the blessing outfit until my mom comes. Now all I really want to do is make sure the house is cleaned. I was telling Michael last night that I feel like each day just comes and goes and I don't do much. This is probably because I really only have energy to get things done in the morning. I do about one thing a day and then I am done. For example, today was laundry. I did three loads and then I was too tired to do anything else. The rest of the day is spent playing with Miriam and resting. However, I am really enjoying this time with Miriam. We have fun playing together. We basically just do what she wants. We also talk about what is going to happen when baby boy comes. She is going to be a great big sister.
