Ellie's precious cousins


Elizabeth's cousin Jaxson was born last week! After a rather difficult delivery, our sister-in-law Stephanie gave birth to beautiful Jaxson Craig last Friday afternoon. Both were given immediate care but are now doing well! His arrival was such a joy to both of us! We love being an aunt and uncle and cannot wait for our brothers and sisters-in-law to know that same feeling!



Of course, Jaxson's arrival prompted 'planner' mode in me! It occurred to me that we have a lot to accomplish in the next 6 (give or take) weeks. I cannot believe I'll be considered full-term in two weeks, meaning our little girl could be here anytime after that! I've always felt I'd be late---my family likes to tell me "If she's anything like her mother, she'll be late!"--- but want to be prepared in case she makes an early surprise arrival! Among our most important to do's:

    - Pack the hospital bag!
    - Install the car seat
    - Hospital info sheet to family/friends & list of contact #s (in case of no cell service)
    - Pre-register with hospital
    - Wash Ellie's blankets and some clothes
    - Further research on 529 college plan
    - Decide on cord blood donation



Other exciting news this week----Elizabeth's other cousin Landyn began walking! He'll be ready and in action for his new baby cousin!
