Welcome to the World our precious David "Thomas" Lee!!

Well, as most everyone reading this blog post knows, we had another baby!  Well…technically I had the baby, but you know what I mean. ;)  Our sweet Thomas (who was not actually named until several hours after he was born) made his debut on Tuesday, February 10th at 12:20 pm.  He weighed in large just like the others at 9 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long.  Thomas decided to be like his older sister and get stuck while coming out.  But, although he had shoulder dystocia too, and was not breathing, he came around much more quickly than Taylor.  He did have to go to the NICU for a while to get his oxygen level good, but by the time he came to us for good…about 4 hours later, he was breathing great and had movement in both arms!! (Which at first he wasn't moving his arms).  The rest of our hospital stay was uneventful for the most part.  Oh, and it was great because I was induced so Josh got to be there the entire time.  Now that we are home we are actually getting to deal with something that both Bryant and Taylor had too, jaundice. :(  Sweet boy is having to do phototherapy.  He's been on the bed since yesterday and will be on it until at least tomorrow, if not Monday or Tuesday.  I am praying he'll be done with it tomorrow…it is so hard. :(  Other than that it's been fun and tiring watching the older two adjust to having a baby here.  I think it's going pretty good so far. :)  So before Thomas was born we got to spend several days with Josh.  He came home on Thursday, so on Friday (the 6th…which was Bryant's actual birthday) we got to celebrate Bryant's 4th birthday as a family.  That was great!  And Josh took Bryant to play golf two different days, which was special for Bryant.  And he took the kids to the McWane Center on Monday.  He really made up for being gone a month. ;)  The last fun thing we did was last Saturday (the 7th) we had a Going Away/Celebrate Baby Lee #3 Party with all of our friends.  It was so much fun to get to spend one more night hanging out with everyone.  If I haven't expressed it enough, we are really going to miss our friends.  I just have to not think about it…  Anyway, I'll let that be all for now and just share lots of pictures from our VERY fun and eventful past week. :)

Bryant's 4th Birthday Party!!

A little over a week ago we had Bryant's 4th Birthday Party.  Although he doesn't actually turn four until this Friday, I decided I should probably have his party a few weeks before that simply because Baby #3 could come at any point now…I am 38 weeks after all.  So, we had it early.  With being 8 months pregnant and getting ready for a big move, I decided I wanted to have his party somewhere that he would not only love, but that I didn't really have to do anything.  So his party was at Pump It Up!  For those of you who don't know what that is, it is an indoor inflatables place that has big bouncy houses, slides, and obstacle courses.  Bryant absolutely loves it!  It was a huge hit with everyone!!  All of the kids seemed to have a blast, and there was a great turn out, which I know Bryant loved having all of his friends around.  We are so blessed with so many great friends and school friends.  We are really going to miss them. ;(  My mom and dad also got to come to his party, which we loved.  My mom actually came up several days before it just to help me.  She's kind of the best! :)  Not sure I would have made it through this last month without her.  Anyway, below are lots of fun pictures from the party.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Josh could have made it.  But, he'll be here for Bryant's actual birthday on Friday, so we will celebrate again then! :)

Me and my babies!!
