Baby sister Nora is here!

By
On Tuesday night around 9pm, I was sitting on the couch working on a presentation that I had to do the next morning when I distinctly heard a pop noise and then felt some warm gushing between my legs. I hopped up and ran (well, waddled really) to the bathroom with Scott following closely behind. Yup, my water broke!

Lucky for us, Lauren is a great friend and offered to come over to watch Evie while we went to the hospital. She snapped the last pic of me preggo just as we were headed out.

Who's belly is bigger?

We got to the hospital just before midnight, and by about 5:15am, I was asking for an epidural. This delivery moved WAAAAAAY faster than with Evie. I am lucky we had an awesome nurse named Andrea because once she realized I wasn't faking how much the contractions were hurting, she moved quickly to get the anesthesiologist over and get the room all ready for the doc. As soon as Dr Ruiz, the on-call doc that night, walked in, I was ready to push.

Presenting: Nora Juliette Simpson!
Arrived at 6:11am
6 lbs 3 oz
18.5 inches long

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
