Did I miss it, or does Pixie Muffin have a code name yet?

Did your mom give any input on a name for the PixieMuffin? I just can't bring myself to start her afghan until I have a name to pray over! No pressure or anything! LOL! :)

Wow...it sounds like everyone is having such a GREAT time!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!! It's always so great to meet someone new, and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your precious little bundle of blessed joy!!! She is so beautiful...aren't they all though.
I had recently heard of Hemingway cats (before ours were born) and found it quite intriguing! How neat that we had some. Thanks also for the "Six" suggestions...HOW CREATIVE!!!!!!
Again, it was lovely meeting you.

Hi Jacque,

I just wanted to say hello and congratulations on your new baby daughter! I have read some of your older daughters' blogs and can tell they are real blessings to you ( as all of your children are ) and my two older daughters enjoy corresponding with them, as well!

It seems like we have a lot in common - 8 children, a homestead, eclectic homeschooling, a real interest in nurturing our families - and a tendency to stay up too late at night? Also, you had company 2 weeks after having your 8th baby. I did that, too! My littlest son is 10 months old now, but I had company last summer when he was 2 weeks old, and fortunately he slept a lot and would just nurse real well when he was awake, then go back to sleep for 3 hours, ignoring the commotion in the house!

I know you are younger than me, but I do want to encourage you to make sure that you nurture yourself and do those impossible things like get enough rest, don't stress out and get plenty of the right nutrients. I say this because I found this last time that when I was about 3 months postpartum, I was going full speed and wound up with a sinus infection and some postpartum depression (which I had never had before - ever). Good supplements and progesterone cream have helped me physically, and a concious effort to not burn the candle at both ends (that meant trying to get to sleep before midnight instead of 2 am most nights - though lately it has been more like 1am). Of course, it is God who heals, so I just wanted to let you know my experience in the hopes that you don't have to experience that part, too! Take good care!!!

Blessings,

Chris
