Yesterday was an incredibly special day. Friends and family came from near and far to share Evan's Christening day with us. Evan wasn't a fan of getting dressed, but boy did he look handsome, along with his big brothers. As us usually the case with us, there were a couple of snafus, like when Evan let out a rip roaring poop the moment Monsignor put his thumb to his forehead, or how my bracelet got caught on my dress when we were at the Baptismal font. Ah well . . .
The pictures below tell the story of our day, which was topped off with an impromptu sleepover with our five cousins, hopefully the first of many. Today our house feels a whole lot more like a home.

Worth a thousand words
I recently figured out how to blog directly from my BlackBerry, which I thought would afford me the opportunity to write more often, but I'm still just too darn tired and I want to use the little energy I have to do fun stuff with the boys. So, until my body fully adjusts to the sleep depravation, there will be more pictures than words here.

One hungry fellow
Just how much does Evan eat, you might be wondering? Let's just say that I watched an entire season of Big Love while nursing him. On Monday. All 10 hour-long episodes. True story.

Prayers Needed for Jonah
A family we've grown very fond of this past year needs our prayers. Paulie's Jiu-Jitsu parter, master of the warrior scream and all around awesome kid, Jonah Clarin, was hospitalized for a Arteriovenous Malformation in his brain, otherwise known as AVM. We read some great news this morning that things are looking up for Jonah, but there will be a long road to recovery, which will eventually include radiation treatments. So please keep Jonah in your prayers.

Greetings from the Hospital Bed
It's a beautiful day to have a baby, people! Well it's actually cold and rainy, but I'm going to be inside for a few days so it doesn't really matter all that much to me. I'm hoping the baby arrives this afternoon so Paul can bring the boys to visit. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Due Date to Me
So it looks like May 11 is going to come and go without a baby, but the end is near. This time I mean it. I had a great visit with my doctor this morning who was pleased to tell me that I'm making progress. Considering Evan is hovering around the nine pound mark, and hoping to avoid a C-section because of his size, if the baby doesn't arrive on his own in the next couple of days, he will be delivered later this week. I've been having some heavy duty contractions today, one even woke me up from my afternoon nap, so fingers crossed this not-so-little guy will make his appearance without having to be induced again.

To my 9 lb., 98th percentile baby
Giving birth to you is going to hurt. A lot. I know this and still I want to meet you. That's saying something, right? Medical intervention didn't work, so I'm now trying other methods, like convincing you that despite the fact that you were a bit of a surprise and we sold all our baby gear before we moved two years ago, we're ready for you. Don't believe me? Check out Jeffrey the Bunny as he poses in all of the state-of-the-art baby gear we could get our hands on.
Still not convinced we're ready for you? Christopher has been wearing his "I'm a big brother hat" since it was given to him ON FRIDAY!
Now I'm not the type of woman who would use scare tactics to coax her unborn child into the world, but I will leave you with this final photo. Interpret it as you wish.
