Just wanted to let you all know that my little girl Tanya Kathleen was born on Monday the 6th(I was induced). She was 7 lbs 9 oz, 19 1/2 inches. She has tons of long dark wavy hair, blue eyes, several dimples, and a sweet disposition. She's 8 days old now, and doing great, growing strong. She looks just like her big brothers (and therefore Daddy) only in a cute girly way haha. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know our wonderful news! I will post a pic of her as my avatar for a few days. Enjoy!

Congratulations!

Congratulations she is beautiful...

Congratulations & Welcome, Tanya! :)

Congrats girl!! I don't know how you do it with 3 so close together. You are indeed a very strong woman.

Tanya Kathleen is so BEAUTIFUL!! You make the prettiest babies.

Love that new baby smell.

Congrads.

If you need to take a break I'm more than happy to have a baby sleep on me whilst in the recliner. Man, I miss that.

*sigh*

Hahah thanks you guys. Everyone told me that going to three kids, was the hardest transition. From two to one. However, I have come to notice in the last week since I've been home with her... If I could handle my first son, haha then I can handle just about anything! Really my first son is such a handful, that I honestly haven't noticed a hung stress change with my second or third baby. Hha. SO FAR. I'm sure once the kids get sick at the same time, or I DO, and once my youngest is crawling, and I'm trying to potty train my second etc(who knows, maybe both of the younger two will be potty training at the same time, since I hear girls start training earlier then boys?) then things will probably pick up in the stress level, but for now, things are great. The boys just adore Tanya (a bit too much at times, poor thing tends to get mauled a lot) and she's a very good quiet baby. Hubby is a great help when he is home from work, and its just been wonderful so far.

She's beautiful! Congrats!
I'm so happy for you. I know you'll handle all 3 just fine.
And yes, my daughter potty trained earlier than my son so could be easy for you there.
Congrats again!!

Yea, that's what I heard, that girls tend to want to potty train sooner then boys do. So with them being 16 months apart, it could easily turn out that they will both be potty training at the same time. That could be intersting. Though I have heard they tend to potty train fast too, so maybe they'll start at the same time, and finish before him too hah. (or with her starting a bit after him, and they finish at the same time HAHA) My first one didn't potty train until he was three. I'm hoping my second son will train earlier and faster since he has a big brother for an example/inspiration. But that's all far into the future. I'm just coasting along on the lazy river of peaceful living right nowHAH

Well I'm happy that it's a peaceful lazy river right now for you LOL!
I have 2 children, 3 years apart... and there's a river... river rapids LOL:D;)

LMAO! Isn't that the truth!:D

HOnestly, its like you go look for clothes for boys,(esp for winter) they have a couple different sweaters, sweatpants, t-shirts, jeans... thats it. You go looking for girls, and you get a whole array of colors and patterns and styles etc. HAHA. I was SOOOOO excited when I realized I could actually look at a selection of clothes when I was getting her stuff. Hah. I was a bit shocked athow long it took too! Usuallyin and out because there's not much choice. Haha.
