Our Family is Complete

Even though we’ve been anticipating his arrival for 10 months, it still seems surreal that he’s actually here and our family and hearts are full. At about 10:20 pm, a week before my due date, while PKM3 was at hockey and the kids were sleeping in our bed for “hockey movie night,” my water broke and it was go time! Jessica came over to keep me company until PKM3 got home. We prepped food for Q and I cleaned the house and took a shower. PKM3 got home all sorts of fired up and we headed to the hospital. We got there around 1:30am and were admitted right away. I got an epidural as quickly as possible (which wasn’t that quick) and hunkered down. At 10:45am it was time to start pushing and at 11:01, out sweet, perfect baby boy entered the world. We hadn’t finalized a name yet but pretty quickly agreed (with all the nurses) that we were looking at Kaplin Prescott Marshall. He weighed 7’4 and 19.5 inches long and was just sweet and perfect. Everything was deemed ok with him and me and we were able to go to the recovery room where our sweet friends and family could come and meet him. Tracy, Uncle Peter, Gwumpa, Luc, Javy and of course big sis and bro came by for sweet snuggles. We had a great first night in the hospital and went home around lunch time the next day. It was perfect and we couldn’t be happier.

We love you little buddy!

Silly photo shoot

Q had a “mock camp out” (that means that we picked him up at 8:30) at his school on Friday. 2 kids from each class and all of the kinder teachers built a tent, had pizza and s’mores, watched a Movie, went on a “midnight hike” around campus and played games. Q had a blast of course and we took the opportunity to take Isla out on a special dinner date with us. We took her to Aviara and let have whatever she wanted!

She picked out a special outfit (but really, aren’t they all special?) which included Uggs because Q was wearing his Uggs to his camp out.

We had so much fun focusing on her. At the end, she wanted to us to take pics of her on the luggage carts- she loves those things. Of course, there was no limit to the silly faces she could make for her shoot.
