Baby Jellybean is Here!!

September 21, 2017 by Aliesha

She’s finally here!!!

Sweet “Baby Jellybean” arrived on Friday, September 15 at 3:44PM.

Her name is Felicity Annalynn and she weighed 9 lbs. 11.7 ounces and measured 20 3/4 inches long at birth!

We are all SO completely in love with her!

We were also very blessed to be able to go home from the hospital when she was just 26 hours old! We all slept much better at home that night!

I have more posts to write soon… the meaning of her name, pictures with all the proud big siblings, her birth story, and more!  In the meantime, be sure to follow along on Instagram for daily photos and updates!

Thank you for praying for her safe arrival! She is happy and healthy! We are enjoying all the snuggles.

Baby Jellybean Gender Reveal!

April 18, 2017 by Aliesha

A few weeks ago we got to find out Baby Jellybean’s gender! We decided to do a little “reveal” this time at our small group. The sister of one of our friends baked this beautiful cake for us and kept the gender a secret so we would be surprised! Another friend, Emily, took these lovely photos for us!

Cutting in…

It’s a GIRL!

We are so excited to be adding another baby girl to our family! Such a blessing!

I’ll have to do a pregnancy update soon… I’m over 20 weeks now!

Yes… we are excited to announce that our tiebreaker baby is on the way!  Baby number FIVE will be SO loved by his or her big siblings, parents, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and church family.

We are richly blessed.  And we all really love donuts too (hence the big smiles).

It was harder than I anticipated to get a proper photo!!

Theodore: “Okay, Mom, I’ve held this donut long enough! May I please eat it now??”

And I realize now that it looks like I’m announcing that our tiebreaker is “pink,” but we actually won’t know that for a while!  We will be finding out this time (I was outvoted!), but not until probably late March.

We took a video of us telling our exciting news to the children!  They were thrilled.

And more excitement…

Thank you for sharing in our joy… and for understanding why I haven’t been blogging as much lately! Lots of “morning” (all day) sickness has kept me doing just the bare minimum lately and not a whole lot else.

Happy Monday!
