Details...

Scott and I were thrilled to get the call from Natalie yesterday!  The timing could have been a little bit better, as I was a bit preoccupied when she called.  My morning kind of went like this...

Both Oscar and Bryce had spent the night at his mom's house for some Grandma time so Max and I were going to spend the morning running errands before she brought them home around 11. Right when Max and I were about to leave, Ginny called me and said that Bryce was constipated and what should she do.  I told her just to try some apple juice and that if he hadn't gone by the time she brought him home, I had some medicine for him.  So she tried some juice and nothing happened.  Meanwhile, as soon as I get off the phone, the electricians show up to do some more wiring for our addition.  I then had to show them some changes we were making, which took up more of Max and my errand running time.  Max and I frantically rush to Target (as shopping is much faster with just one, much less 3, now 4), then to Costco.  We get home right before the boys and Ginny informs me that Bryce still has not gone to the bathroom, plus he'd woken up at 4 in the morning and was a bit cranky (to put it very nicely). So now, I'm trying to unload everything I'd bought, fix lunch and get two cranky kids (it is now past Max's naptime) down for their nap.   While I'm doing this, I decide to call Scott and tell him about the electrician's visit.  We were on the phone for about a minute, when the call waiting beeped.  I looked and it said the infamous word 'UNKNOWN'.  The only other person besides Natalie that sometimes shows up as Unknown is Scott, and I was on the phone with him.  My stomach flip flopped as I clicked over and she said she had a referral.  I clicked back to Scott all teary eyed and told her we got our referral.  We then started a three-way call so she could fill us in on all the details.  It was at this time that Bryce finally had to poop.  Talk about timing.  Poor thing was crying on the toilet so loud that I could barely hear Natalie.  We had to call her back about five minutes later after all business was finished.  Plus, I quickly put Max down.  

Anyways, she is nine months old, born back on March 22 and has the best smile ever.  She's beginning to get teeth which apparently makes her smile even more.   At her last check up in December, she weighed 19.1 lbs, so she may be bigger than Max our youngest boy, who is on the bottom end of the growth charts!!!  She's got one ear pierced, thus the 'cutest pirate'.
