Rainbow Nursery

We spent Superbowl Sunday putting together a rainbow-themed nursery for Mini-Madonna #4 :)

Big Sibling Class

At the end of January, Bryony took the same Big Sibling Class at the hospital that Abigail had taken in 2011 :) She was more than ready to become a Big Sister herself - the excitement is high! Here's a fun story I posted on Facebook at the time:

Bryony keeps wanting to play the game "pretend our baby popped out". It's an easy game for me, I lay on the couch while she is the doctor. First she writes stuff on a notepad, like, "baby" and "doktr Bryony", and "54367". Then she usually says "OK, lay here, I'll call baby support" (picks up play phone and says "hello, baby support? I have a lady here who's having her baby"). Then she rubs my bump a few times with her hand and says "OK, don't worry, this won't hurt, it might be a little bit scary, but it's not real scary, it's more just like Halloween". Then I close my eyes and with some kind of painless magic my plastic baby pops out and she swaddles it. Then she says "Congratulations, it's a girl, she's healthy and perfect, what do you want to name her?" 
It's all so cute. I think she's ready for this to go down in her real life.

New Years Eve

It was the first time we let them stay up until "the real midnight" and be part of the champagne toast :)
