Thirty Days of Thankfulness - Take Two - Day 23

Tonight, I'm thankful for white noise on sound machines and nifty projection night-lights. 
The sound machines allow the people who take naps in my house to nap peacefully with fewer outside noises disturbing them. We had three going this afternoon! One for each child and one for The Husband, haha!
The night-light is a new addition to our household. Jack has been very emotional at bedtime the past week. Whining and crying for what has appeared to be no reason. The Husband and I finally decided to try a night-light that he had bought months ago. It's a projection one that shines a picture on the wall or ceiling. The kids, especially Jack, think that it's so neat, and for the last two nights, it seems to be doing the trick. Although, I think it keeps Ella up longer because a dark room is her sleepy-time friend. We'll have to remember to take it with us if we have to stay with my parents or if we visit out-of-town family! One more important thing to not forget, haha! 
I'm thankful for inventions that help my kids get the best sleep they can.

    Is Jack having night terrors?? I'm with Ella, I need next-to-no light to sleep deeply. Hopefully, this is just a phase, and he'll grow out of it. Love you.

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting.

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

A Little Revealing

**Hehehehe. My blog post title made me giggle.** If you stayed tuned and saw on FB that we'd be announcing this afternoon, then you're in luck.  So, without further adieu, Jack and Ella will be doing the honors.  Now, go on ahead and post in the comments what you guessed :) I was right early on but then changed my mind, so any guess was a good one!
