Week One.

Taylor Sue Barry was born last Friday, July 20 at 12:57 p.m. She is my smallest baby weighing in at 7 lbs. 15 oz and 20 1/2" long.

So far she is a sleepy, sleepy baby, which I am loving! She does of course have some wakeful time around 2 in the morning, but other than that she is content to eat and sleep. Which again, I am loving.


Sam and Mollie are loving their new sister and are very interested in her. Like scary interested. They have both almost killed her at least once (Sam by jumping off the couch and almost landing on her, Mollie by bringing her a 3 lb. dumbbell and laying it on her stomach).

I am recovering well from C-section #3. The pain from the incision does not bother me at all. I am dealing with mastitis again, and I can't seem to kick it. I am not a fan of the boob part of having babies. It's basically awful.


Taylor looks so much like Devin it is funny. When I first saw her I thought, "Wow, she looks like me!" Then, when she was brought to me in the recovery room and I saw her dark hair, nose, and skin tone, I changed my mind. She is definitely a Barry baby!

We are blessed to have another beautiful and healthy baby and for all the help we've gotten from family and friends.

Here's to 3 kids!

4 Days.

My C-section is scheduled for Friday. I don't think it has hit me yet that in 4 days I'm going to have another child. I am just so stinking overjoyed at the thought of not being pregnant anymore that I kind of forget about the baby part. This pregnancy has been the toughest, but I know it will all be worth it.

Doesn't it look like my belly is about to fall off? I caught a glimpse of my shadow the other day and had to do a double-take.
