Introducing Baby Georgia

Baby Georgia Frances is here! She arrived a glorious two weeks early on August 14th in the evening after just 7 hours of labor BUT with an unmedicated delivery as we got to the hospital too late for me to have any pain meds! I won't go into the gory details about that here! We are adjusting to life with a newborn again, my biggest fear being how to survive the sleep deprivation. Georgia is a clone in appearance to her big sister in my opinion. We are excited to have her here and to have two little girls!

Sleeping Beauties...

Tom and Iris fell asleep while reading a book at 7:30! Glorious ME TIME tonight!

OK, and for those who are perturbed I am behind on the letter game -my apologies! Here is possibly my last effort to keep the guessing going:

We have 3 letters left as I have only 3 weeks left until there are TWO OF THEM.

Here we go: F G Q

and I should mention, although this may disappoint some...we did have a WINNER at the name game about two weeks ago. Congratulations again to Gma DeDe who after hours of careful study and research, correctly identified the name-to-be!!! I am still not revealing the name until the birth however and she has been sworn to secrecy so don't call her!

Here's a tip: don't go to Lewis Park in St Paul. False advertising indeed. While it may be St Paul's only free splash area, what the city fails to mention on their website is that sadly, it is filthy. Unfortunately it is a prime example of what makes some want to flee to the suburbs! These 3 girls had a great time despite their mothers' complete horror...
