Court comes home

Everyone knows a picture is worth a thousand words... but pictures alone don't do Court's homecoming justice. Here is a little video we put together to show you the girls' reactions to meeting their baby brother for the first time.

Home Sweet Home!

We have made it home... home, sweet home! It has been wonderful having our family of FIVE together. We have a video of the girls meeting their little brother that we will try to get up when we can find some time... in the meantime here are a few pictures.

Last night at the hospital

How in the world are we going to do this?!?!

Feeding bottles... the girls were very into it!

Burping, bottles, changing diapers... they love it all.

Court is settling right in.

Such a happy baby!

We are glad to be home, the snow has started and we are going to enjoy a few days being snowed in & getting adjusted to having a newborn again. We will try to keep up with the blog when we can. Wish us luck!!!!

Hospital Time...

Mom, Dad & Baby Court are enjoying our last little bit of hospital time together... in the morning we are going home & Big Sisters Tyler and Harper will get to meet their sweet baby brother for the first time. Then the real chaos will begin...

Court White... Day 2

JULIAN BERNARD WHITE IV "COURT"

Happy Birthday Court!!!!

Baby brother made his debut this morning at 8 am sharp. He weighed in at 6 lbs 11 0z and was 20 inches long. Mom did great and the whole process went off without a hitch. Thanks for all the emails, phone calls, and prayers. We are so happy and as you can see below have spent most of the day doting over the newest member of the White family. We can't wait to take him home to meet Tyler and Harper. His sisters called earlier today to sing him Happy Birthday and are anxious to meet their little brother. Here are some pictures from the day.

We got to the hospital this morning bright and early a little after 5 am!

Mom gets her first look at Baby Court shortly after 8.

Mom was a trooper. Dad had the easy role today.

Little feet. Dad liking the blue bands!

Court's first bath... he did great.

Looking like a little business man.

Taking a nap... mouth wide open just like dad.

Proud parents

More doting...

Ready to catch his first basketball game. Go Heels!

All Ready to Go!

We are all ready to go... Baby Brother will be here in just about 36 hours (not that anyone is counting!) Everyone is VERY ready. By about 8:00am on Tuesday, January 26th we will meet our newest family member for the first time.

Harper & Tyler acting like Mommy with babies in their tummies!

2 girls, a boy & a chihuahua... we are all set!

Check back Tuesday for pictures of our little boy!

Get the Sillies Out!

We have been spending lots of time around the house lately... this is not the norm over here. By 10am on days the girls are not in school we are always out on the town doing fun activities and playing. Well, these days Mom is not 100% and chasing two toddlers is close to impossible at 39 weeks pregnant. So, we have been sticking close to home and surprisingly the girls have been perfectly content just playing together in the house while they get the sillies out!

Tyler (L) & Harper (R)

Playing a little dress up...

sunglasses, silly hats, swimsuits...

you name it we have been having fun being very "fancy nancy"!

And when I asked the girls what they wanted for a snack after naps &

they said "sprinkles!!!"

... well, why not?

Miss Tyler

Miss Harper

We love being silly together!

Magic...

The girls have been busy practicing using their magic wands...

they light up and make music!

True entertainment for these little ladies.

We are officially on the homestretch over here...

less than a week to go!

Happy Birthday Nanny!

It was Nanny (aka Aunt Jacquelyn's) birthday this weekend so we all went out to lunch to celebrate. The girls have finally realized that every time "Happy Birthday" is sung it is not always for their birthday. They know that even if it is not their birthday, everyone still gets cake though! Super excited!

The Girls!

The crew.
