Day by day...

Whew, it has been a week since Colter was born.  (We decided to go with the spelling 'Colter' instead of 'Coulter'.)

Things are going well.  I think.

I have a bit of the baby blues this time around and the lack of sleep I am experiencing is not helping.

Anyway, we are all adjusting here.  This weekend Will took Adell, Clare and Wyatt out to Montana for Will's youngest sister's high school graduation.  Lorien was at Gold Camp and now is at a sleep over with some friends.

So I am all alone with my 5th child.  When will this ever happen again?  When does the 5th child ever get alone time with his/her Mother?  I am trying to love it but those little anxious feelings keep creeping up on me.

I decided I needed to get out of the house this morning and spend some time at one of my favorite places, Target.  It was nice to wander the isles while Colt slept in his car seat.  I bought a few necessary items and a few frivolous items.  They all made me feel better...is that sad?

I am working on a few posts about the kids reactions to knowing Colter is a boy and my labor story.  (Sneak peek: it was my best delivery--ever.)

For now, enjoy these totally adorable pictures of Colter.

I too enjoy a shopping trip to Target; even grocery shopping without a child can feel like a vacation!! So no, not sad at all. Maybe my life is boring. ;/
You have a cute one there to enjoy a quiet weekend with. Congrats!

Cassie!!
He's sure handsome, and oh, so sweet! I wish I could meet him in person, and so glad the labor was your best yet. Can't wait to hear all the details! If only I were closer and could give you some more time alone with number five. I'm so happy for you!!
Miss you,
Heather
