My baby is now 3 weeks old! She is growing soooo fast! When we went to the doctor, she weighed 7 lbs 9 oz. The older girls all love to hold Bethany. Alyssa's birthday was on the 4th, and we had such a Great Day! We went to the Treehouse museum and let the kids run and play. They made crafts and played in China, Mexico, Africa, and Japan. Then we came back and paited with karo syrup and made a BIG mess! All in all our family is adjusting well to the new addition and we are looking forward to the changes that are still on the way!

So I had forgotten how quickly a simple diaper change can turn into a need to scrub down the entire room and bath both baby and self. Bethany Annette Johnson was born on January 21 at 4:44. She weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 1/2 in long. So far she sleeps better than i had expected. usually around 3 hours at a time in the night. After she was born, while we were waiting for her to be weighed and measured, Brad was holding her, and she totally peed all over him! Haha!
My other girls are adjusting. Some better than others. Eleny and Alyssa are helpful as long as i bribe them with pennies. (It works surprisingly well) Isabella is very protective of her baby. If Bethany cries, she gets upset and looks to me like 'fix it mom!' Its hilarious! The first day that Brad went back to work, Eleny went to the sink and got a nice big cup of water. Then she dumped it on Alyssa's head. While I was getting Alyssa into some dry clothes, she did it again to Isabella! We've all been adapting in our own way, and with any luck we'll all survive!
