Three Musketeers!

My friend Cristy had her baby last night at 10:19 pm ... and it's a boy!  He was a week early, weighed 7 lbs and was 20 inches long, and his parents have decided to name him Carter Logan Burris.  Both Cristy and Carter are doing really well and of course he's just adorable.  Paxton and I hitched a ride with Jackie and Alexander to go to the hospital for a visit (even though we're rebels since apparently they're not allowing children, but we figured since neither of our kids are sick and they weren't going to be running around like crazies we would take them anyways.  I mean really, how can you say no to Paxton's blue eyes and crazy blonde hair?).  We had a good visit and the little family gets to come home tomorrow so we'll probably be making another trip over then or possibly the next day (we should maybe let the grandparents and uncles be there the first day.  Maybe.)

I'm so excited that they had a boy (since they decided not to find out from the ultrasound) since Jackie and I both had boys as well and we're all frineds.  I mean, little girls are fine and dandy (and all sorts of fun to shop for and dress) but I really wanted them to have a boy so that our 3 babies will grow up being the best of friends (this might be wishful thinking once they get into school since Paxton will likely be a year ahead of the other 2, but we'll make them play together while they're little and hopefully it will cement them together for life!).  I'm sure we're also going to have all sorts of bumps, bruises and shenanigans in our future with play dates and sleep overs (which we will definitely be rotating, lol).  Without further ado, here are the pictures.

Waiting for Jackie to come get us.  Such a big boy!

  1. ahhhh! He's a keeper. And yes, the three of you will be very busy with three little boys all close in age! Look forward to lots of sword fights, Jedi battles, secret forts, lego adventures and a little bit, OK, a LOT of chaos thrown in for good measure! Boys are so fun when they're all together. And they get over things quick - no drama!

  2. I can't wait for our boys to grow up and play together - I am sure there will be lots of shenanigans in our future! - Jackie
