latest edition

Rex Lee Christiansen
9 lbs 3 oz
20 inches long
arrived 6:35 am, Wednesday

 He came so much sooner than I mentally planned for! I really thought I would get through the move first. Not to be. And, actually, that's just fine by me. 

He's a darling little boy, but so different looking than his siblings! Despite being my biggest baby, he doesn't have the characteristic jowels I'm used to. He seems so small! He's been a CHAMPION sleeper. Wow. Cross your fingers it lasts. He's a pretty good eater when he wants to be, although I do have to wake him up for it (on dr's orders since he's lost a little more weight than they like and would easily sleep four or five hours between meals if I didn't).

Mostly thought, he's just a sweet new presence in our little world of moving chaos. I feel lucky to love and hold and call him mine.

He is amazing. I am sure the whole family is thriller to have him be a part of your home. Many blessings as you begin life with a move and three beautiful kiddos!

Congrats Carly! He's darling. I can't believe you moved this weekend too. Crazy. Now you have everything done though and it's time to just let the dust settle. :)

Rex is beautiful! I am so happy you and he are healthy. You have been in my prayers this past week. I am so happy he is a good sleeper. Now you can rest a bit that the baby has come and you are moved. Can't wait to see new pics.

He is just adorable Carly! I cannot wait to see him in person. It is going to be too long... I am so glad he is being a good sleeper so far and a great baby. I hope you are getting a little rest too. It is not so easy when there are two other kiddos looking for lots of attention too. Love you sweet sister.
