Little Underwood, Big Harte

Welcome Grandma Jo! We are excited to have her here to meet Zoe! And ... are we thankful for the help ... two kids, meals, keeping the house together and yes there is still packing to do...thank goodness for our parents! Zoe is doing well still. She has some fussy periods and mostly her witching HOURS (yes more than one!) are 7-10 p.m. She  tends to overeat and then throws up on us, but we are all adjusting and figuring it out. After that we get a good 3-4 hour chunk without her nursing if Stefan hangs out with her in the living room. He tries to snag some sleep, and I can get some rest before I take her the rest of the night which consists of usually feeding her two more times. Z is about to wake up, so a fairly quick post, but I wanted to share our recent pictures. Check out our latest happenings >>

All is well and we are adjusting to being a family of four (and little sleep again). A huge thank you to mom and dad Harte for all their help while we were at the hospital and when we brought Zoe home. It has been so appreciated to have the extra hands around. We are managing through this week on our own and anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandma Jo this weekend! Check out lots more pictures below along with several adorable videos of the kiddos!

At my appointment the Monday before, I was dialted 3 cm but the doctor said that wasn't uncommon for a second pregnancy. My doctor suspected I wouldn't make it to our due date of April 9, so Mom and Dad Harte arrived Wednesday to be around to watch Gavin while we were at the hospital and to help when the baby arrived. Saturday morning we walked around downtown and the Jazz Festival before having lunch. Later, Stefan made a nice dinner and we thought it would be a normal evening. After Gavin was in bed and I had my shower, I sat down to fold some clothes around 8:15 p.m. When I stood up to get the remote control I felt a twinge in my lower abdomen and commented on it, then I noticed my water had broke!
