david called me at midnight on sunday to tell me julie would be going in to have a c-section soon and asked if i could get the girls in the morning. she wasn't due until jan 5 (and is usually a week late), so it was quite a surprise that they were already at the hospital!
samuel spencer bishop was born about half an hour later!
he had trouble for the first couple of days keeping his body temperature regulated, so he spent some time in the nicu. he and julie both went home on wednesday night.
in the meantime, we had a house full!! since we'd invited people over for family home evening, i couldn't really go get the girls until tuesday. david stayed home with them monday since julie was at the hospital anyway. he met me on tuesday after the girls had been to the hospital to meet their brother. we somehow managed to get six carseats/boosters into our car and made it home.
(maddie, isaac, and lily were in the back with bonnie, bailey, and cody in the middle)
we had lots of fun playing and making cookies and watching christmas movies. i love doing the girls' hair when were together. usually maddie is the only one i do, but all three girls needed theirs fixed in the morning before they went home. cody and isaac helped bailey do hers while i worked on the other two.
maddie and i like to browse pinterest to look for ideas and she liked this heart braid.
lily was next and held so still while i braided hers.
bailey doesn't usually let me do much in hers, but she wanted it just like lily's.
like all loved these ball hair bands, so everyone wore some
maddie wanted some balls in her hair too, so we did a little changing.
with sam coming so early, mom, dad, and annie drove over to spend christmas with us and help out a bit. annie and dad met me to take the girls home. annie actually came home with us to spend a couple of days.
we got to meet sam on christmas when they came up for christmas dinner.
