The other night, Meryl woke up from sleep around 4am and as Sarah consoled her, the subject of a Cupcake Party came up. That party was last night and consisted of frosting cupcakes and her face.
Hugs
Also, oven mitts:) We’re getting ready for Thanksgiving.
Flashback to Wednesday
Holmes is alive! Second round confidence is unbelievable:)
Butter mochi & champagne
Nighttime visit from Chelsea and Allecia! Chelsea brought homemade butter mochi, which is quite possibly my new favorite dessert/snack. Dense, chewy, sweet, but not too sweet - delicious. (Google it.) And, well, sparkling is...sparkling!
Meanwhile...
Baylie took Meryl to the aquarium on Wednesday and she seemingly grew up instantaneously.
Headed home!
After 36 hours in the hospital, we left with a real live baby! (Why, oh why, did I buy an actual ‘newborn’ onesie? I should know better; he’s already muscling through it!)
Sipping ketchup
Some people sip hot chocolate, Meryl prefers to sip ketchup. Regardless, Shake Shack take-out at home tasted pretty good.
Brother, sister, and Lola
Meryl meet your baby brother, Holmes.
Introducing Holmes Edwin Lawer Guanco
Hello, world, my name is Holmes Edwin Lawer Guanco. I came into this world on Wednesday November 14 at 12:54pm at 8lbs, 9ozs and 19 1/2” long.
Muffin happy hour
Grandpa is in heaven seeing Meryl more often. And, I’m still pregnant.
Cousin and aunt time
Turns out, inviting people over doesn’t initiate labor either! Allison and Caleb dropped by this afternoon for a visit, and Laurel was all too willing to read books:)
Nope, nada, zilch
Still pregnant! Due date is today. No signs of any progress. Frank and I are headed to the Canlis bar.
Brussels sprouts
We bought a lot of them:)
