we got to baby-sit for london!
she had the chicken pox but we didn’t mind at all.
talby and annie were beyond excited all day.
poor london was totally over-stimulated.
the girls were in her face every minute and she got pretty tired of it.
i don’t blame her.
they kept saying “she’s crying mom!” if she whimpered a sound.
she did cry pretty hard as i got the other kids to bed.
she cried all through their prayers and teeth brushing.
i was saying “just pray louder.”
(i was holding her though…she wasn’t alone)
talby was so concerned.
“mom WHY is she crying?”
“she wants it quiet honey and this is not quiet.“
i said “goodnight kids” and took her downstairs.
i turned on oprah and that little sweetie was asleep in 2 minutes.
don’t all babies fall asleep to oprah?
mine always did.
“finally some peace and quiet!” she had to be thinking.
i held her for 3 hours.
and loved every minute.
anytime london needs to be exhausted jen…send her over!
Jenny Pocknall - She is gorgeous!
meg duerksen - melissa it’s funny you say that….
when craig was holding her it was very sweet but had a moment and looked him straight in the eye and said “i don’t want any more babies.” really the first time i knew FOR SURE that i am done. we can’t have anymore anyway but i don’t want anymore either. we were both happy with that comment.
peace.
of course it had nothing to do with london.
love her so much.
but i got to give her back at 11:30!
melissa @ the inspired room - Oh, a B A B Y! Don’t you just want another one???
Happy day!
Melissa
traci - both you and the baby look very content in the last shot. the girls must have loved every minute.
Jennifer P. - All the little chicken pox made me sad! Poor itchy baby :)! But so sweet and cute–and you got to hold her for THREE hours?!–Soooo jealous!
chris - I wish I had had someone just like you to trust my baby with , lucky family.
Mom - Did Lauren take these pictures? They are great. Glad you got your baby fix!
Jenn - It is so nice to leave your baby with a family and see how much she is loved while you are gone! Thank you sooo much for watching her and we really enjoyed our time alone at the concert. I am sure I will be asking again. Jenn
traci - What fantastic mommies they are going to be! How crazy for a little, tiny baby to have chicken pox! I have personally never seen that…the youngest I have seen is maybe a year.
Swaddle and hold a baby and walla…sleep, oh yes, and OPRAH..lol
