2 weeks!

Our sweet baby Beatrix is 2 weeks old!  Here are her stats from the check-up with the doctor this morning:  7lbs. 12 oz., and 20 inches.  The doctor said she's doing great (her exact words were - she's "perfect").  We've had a quiet week with Beatrix while her brother and sister spent time with Grandma & Popo in Kansas.  They'll be back tomorrow and we're looking forward to having our whole family together again!  Next week will be my first week at home with all 3 kids on my own...wish me luck!

Kindergarten Round Up

Right before Beatrix was born (the day before, in fact) we visited Isaac's new school for Kindergarten Round Up.  I can't believe our little boy will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall!  Here are a few photos from our visit (and a couple last ones of me with my giant belly!)  Isaac is so excited to attend full-day Kindergarten.  The principal gave us a tour of the school, including Isaac's new classroom, the cafeteria, gym, music room, and library where he'll have art and computers.  When we left, I asked Isaac what his favorite part of the school was.  "All of it!" was his response.

Introducing Beatrix Katherine Nap!

Last Friday, April 13, we were blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl! Beatrix Katherine was born at 9:26am weighing 7lbs. 9 oz. and 20.5 inches long.

The c-section went wonderfully and I was even able to hold Beatrix for a bit before they took her off to the nursery to check her out. Even though I was a little anxious about my 3rd c-section, my doctor and anesthesiologist did such a great job at talking me through the entire surgery that I was able to really enjoy the experience of our baby's birth!

Isaac and Tessa were so excited to meet their baby sister for the first time.  Here they are shortly after Beatrix was born (asking the nurse lots of questions!). 

Our little one definitely loves to be swaddled.  We like to call her our little burrito baby.  Luckily Daddy is a master swaddler!

 Isaac and Tessa are so in love with their little sister!  There is no doubt she will grow up with plenty of attention!

We're happy to be home and settling in as a family of 5.  We feel so blessed to add little Beatrix to our family!

A few more Easter photos...

We had a great Easter here at home. Brunch & church followed by a wonderful meal at Oma's! Above are some photos of the kids gathering the eggs the Easter Bunny left in Oma's yard.

Here's our group for Easter Dinner!
