Matern, party of 6?

Remember that one time when it's been a year since I've blogged and in that time my kids have all turned a year older, I did 3 shows at Hale Centre Theatre, and oh!
 
I had another baby!

Those 3 things really basically define what the past year has been like. Of course there were lots of other things that happened like holidays and the sort, but I think time is too far gone to go back and post about all of it. SO we'll just stick with the most important.

Reid(That's what we're calling him), was born February 25, 2013 at 35 weeks after another crazy, awful pregnancy. He stayed in the NICU for 10 days, just needing some help learning how to breath and figuring out the whole eating thing.

The other monsters that live here love him to pieces, as do his parents, and it's amazing to me how complete he makes us feel. It's an amazing feeling knowing that my whole family is here and that we are complete.
 
We love this little man and I can't wait to see the boy and man he grows into.
