kathryn michelle (kate) sweet was born on friday, march 6 at 11:16pm. i had been to the hospital that morning for a non-stress test because my amniotic fluids were borderline low. they wanted to be cautious. i was told to go home but that i could go at anytime..... i was 3.5 cm and 50% effaced. i went home and had 4 ounces of castor oil. labor started for real 2 hours later...... we got to the hospital around 8 and were admitted. i started pushing around 10:50 and 25 minutes later she was out. it was hard and i asked for my epidural too late. whoops. we got to come home yesterday afternoon and start acclimating to life as a family of five. my mom flew in yesterday and is on boy duty. she has already done bath time, played hide and go seek, brushed teeth and changed diapers. sweet potato actually let me get a couple of straight hours of sleep last night and is doing great. they boys and mimi are off to the grocery to get us some food for the week. i am glad to be home!
so today we ventured to target to get some necessities...toilet paper, razors, toothpaste... you know the essentials. but of course, it is target and who can leave with only what they need. i picked up a cool, little hat for a mere $9.99 - a deal and a half. i proceeded to wear it all around the store during our shopping extravaganza. what i failed to realize was that the hat was still on my head after having checked out...meaning it had never made it to the conveyor belt...meaning that it had never been paid for. luckily, we were only near the elevators and had not actually left the store yet..... but gretchen and i had a good little chuckle over what was almost a shoplifting incident. how would that look for a pastor's wife to be picked up for stealing with her newborn & toddler in tow?! phew!

target has the best cheap-o wash cloths (12 for 3.99). i us them to clean the house (ha! clean! yeah right! you can bleach them in the wash and re-use them). anyway, i ran in to get some other things, decided i didn't need them and left...
...with a bundle of 12 wash clothes under my arm! i didn't even realize they were there till i got to the car. i opened my door and they fell at my feet!
oof!! i'm gonna burn fo' sho'
ps: hey dew!!
