life at home with four ❤️
daddy’s new job allowed him plenty of time off to spend with the kids and help me out during the new transition as a family of six ❤️.
besides the crazy nights of very little sleep, the boys also started their baseball season! i think the idea of the practices and flu season wore this mama out.
i couldn’t be more thankful for the time of rest i was able to have with max.
maximilian you are a tricky little one, you had mama and daddy very busy this first month. we were very curious to know what made you tick. you are a feisty one. at times, i joked that you must think you are an only child or something just like the rest of them 😜 after questioning many things about your little personality the doctor suggested i take a break from dairy. wow, within four days we noticed a little calm baby for moments at a time. you are still a very serious little man sometimes happiest facing out and looking at the floor. whatever the situation is you let us know how you feel. but my goodness we couldn’t love you more. youre the best gift we could ever ask for.

the day we have been waiting for for almost two years came in HIS perfect timing of course. because of the distance of the hospital our doctor had us set up for an induction on a tuesday, not my first pick but it was earlier than my due date so i was thrilled. we knew max was scheduled for this day unless he came on his own for weeks. it wasn’t until after i had received my epidural that daddy was looking at his phone and said we have to name him maximilian! today is maximilian kolbes actual birthday!
and so on january 8, 2019 we welcomed maximilian augustine

it was an amazing and easy delivery! we cannot be more grateful for our doctor and her care. we could also not be more thankful for having family close by again. our new big brothers and big sister loved every bit of their time with family before welcoming our maximilian home after a few days.
maximilian augustine you were worth the wait! we love you more than you know.
