Happy 7th Birthday Daisy & Walt

We had a small at home celebration on their birthday.

 This girl loves her new singing microphone.
 We celebrated a couple weeks later at Chuck-E-Cheese, because their birthday is the same week that school starts and my life was a little crazy to say the least. They each invited one friend and Clark and Jane and Grandma Susan came too!

Back to School 2015

 C for Clark
7th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd
And they're off!
 These two at home with mom.
  Walt is happy to see his friends!
 These two are happy to be in the same class again! (Mom really had to fight it this year).
 Hanna and Kennedy in the same class again, yay!
 So sad these two aren't in the same class this year, but they're still best friends!
Believe it or not these two are the same age.
Good friends, Max and Conner,

Baby Jane's First Month Home

I love this baby of mine.
4 Weeks Old
One Month
At Jane's 2 week visit we found out she was lost a lot of weight.
She was 7lbs. 9oz. at birth and went down to 6.2 
I felt horrible!
I found out I wasn't producing milk this time. I tried nursing as much as she needed for the next week, but it still just wasn't enough. I started supplementing and taking a lot of nursing supplements.
All seven kids ready for church.
Daisy is loving being a big sister.
With all my babies I get thrush (hence the purple medicine around her mouth), but this time I got Ductal Thrush. It was the most excruciating pain, I couldn't even nurse on one side. Then I got mastitis because I wasn't nursing on that side. Jane was pretty much drinking more of the bottle now, because I still wasn't producing much milk, so I ended up just going to bottle feeding. It's actually been a blessing. In the pass I would've never thought of bottle feeding, but with my busy life of 7 it's been so helpful! Plus, the older kids can help more and I need it!
The picture above looks just like her ultrasound picture below. 
With her arm on the side of her face too.
I'm not use to having such a skinny baby! 
She is such a happy baby!
Clark loves his baby sister!
Nursing Days are over.
