Welcome Baby Ruby!!

Finally! She's here!! And I'm loving her so much. Ruby Jane Moore was born on Wednesday, June 9th, at 4:20 in the afternoon. I had the best delivery in the history of mankind... and my sweet, little baby girl is perfect. She's wonderful and beautiful and patient with me and the kids.. we are in heaven. Tired, yes, but in heaven, nonetheless.


Check out all her dark hair! I need to learn how to style her soft spikees (her hair is soooo soft) because none of my other kids had nearly this much hair. So fun!

Matt brought all the kids back to the hospital. I could hear them in the hallway, giggling away, but as soon as they stepped in the room, they were silent! They watched her first bath, and I have never seen my kiddos so quiet for so long. They were in awe!! The nurse was so sweet and explained everything to them along the way. I was able to just sit back, listen, and smile.

My wonderful supermom came up to stay with the kids while we were at the hospital, but she wouldn't let me take any pictures of her until today... stinker. She was so wonderful and helpful, and my kids were thoroughly spoiled in every way. So was I.

Collin hasn't really had a hard time until today. He's kind of cranky and very demanding. He wants me to hold him, poor kid. I'm giving him a ton of loves (hugs), and I think he'll be okay.

Taking Ruby to the doctor for her little check-up with all the kids in tow was probably a mistake this morning. I came home frazzled. I don't know why I thought I could do that just because I've always been able to do it in the past. Just one more little one = a lot more work. It also means a lot more fun. I missed her when I was in class this afternoon and couldn't wait to snuggle her again. A very nice friend ended up saving my sanity today by taking the kids to lunch at the park and tiring them all out. Thank you!

We are such a proud family!!
No pictures of me cause I'm the photographer (only meaning that it's my camera), but no hard feelings here either. I was puffy and nasty looking because of all the IV's they kept giving me to help me feel better. I kept puking after the delivery. It has happened every time so at least I was expecting it. I do wish I would have gotten a picture of my pregnant belly, but I totally forgot aduring all the excitement!

Here is a great shot of Annie's new toothless smile! She is very proud of the huge gap in her mouth and cheeses it every chance she gets!

I'll post some more pictures soon... right now, my angel baby is waking up and needs me!
