A family of FIVE!

Our bundle of joy arrived on August 15th....Krosby Patrick Petrina. We, as all of you have, waited anxiously to find out the gender of this sweet life.....our little miracle is a BOY. I feel so blessed that we waited to find out the gender until birth and saved our names until after, as well. Having my husband tell me what we had and seeing the joy in his face as he found out, are memories I will savor forever.

The sweetest little treat, sleeping through the night since birth. I say its a boy thing, as Roman slept through the night from birth as well! I embrace the sleep and am grateful.

We are back into school, I was not planning on taking time off, but it did get to the point of being a necessity. I only had a month of bedrest this time, with Roman is was for three very LONG months. This pregnancy proved to be the easiest, even with the month of contractions at the end. I was very surprised that we were able to get to 39 weeks. The last three weeks were painful with hours per day of contractions 2-3 minutes apart, but I never progressed. I was wiped out by 39 wks. The strongest contractions seemed to come at night as well.
Another blessing, Danny was able to take a month off of work!! What a great help he was. So, trying to savour every minute with our new addition and Daddy, we took that month off from studies! Two months and the kids were ready to begin. Its been fun so far. The kids are amazing and so very smart. By the end of our school year Azah will wrap up her work in 1st and 2nd grade subjects. We still work on Kinder fun with Roman so she still gets that age appropriate kraft time in! ON that note, you should see the cards she makes, beyond that KG level lol. Roman can write his name and as promised he earned TOY STORY SHEETS!! He knows many things like his phone number:).

Krosby currently is headed into six weeks of age. I AM working on those thank you cards and photo announcement. But with school, the house, a newborn, recovering from the csection (more hormonal than anything:)), be patient with me:). I do have a flicker acct and if you wish can send you an email so you can view our photos. Just reply here or email us at inspiredbyinks@yahoo.com.

Be Blessed Family and Friends and until we post again, here is a sweet photo of the week.

The top photo is with Azah and Krosby's feet, the one right above, is all three Petrina blessings.
