More of Baby Mazie Gee

Following are photos taken by Mazie's aunt, Kristi-Lynn Gibson, when she came to help out while Kirsten and Mazie were at the hospital. What a great photographer.

Still Waiting . . .

Baby was due on 1/9. Kirsten thought baby might arrive on 1/11/11 and that would be a cool date. Of course, that date is about to pass. We spent the holidays getting the house and all the baby "stuff" (sure is a lot of it) ready. Brooklyn has enjoyed playing with it in the meantime. Does she know her life is about to change? Umm, not really.

B didn't just want to sit in the infant seat, she wanted to be carried and swung, like . .. a baby. Perhaps she does know all to well what's coming.

4.5 Liters of IV Fluids

Expectant mother caught a nasty bug of some kind and suddenly became ill and severely dehydrated. And so, today we got a free tour and 8-hour stay at the labor & delivery unit while 4,500 ml of fluid were pumped into Kirsten. She's now at home and resting well and preparing . . . for another trip to labor & delivery. Guess it's time to finally pack those hospital bags.

Let it Snow

It snowed, or dusted last night. Brooklyn helped brush off the car and then we took her on a sled ride through the snow to our friends' house where we made six inch snowmen and sipped hot cocoa.
