And so am I... 9 weeks left until we meet baby #5, the caboose of the Green Train. We are being surprised with gender again. Well, most of us are. Farrah is convinced it is for sure a boy. We enjoyed our summer of swim team and LOTS of pool time for this pregnant mama. <div>

Farrah graduated from Pre-K this spring. She has since lost two teeth, with a third hanging on by a thread. She is starting Kindergarden this year! </div>

But, I do love to share when I can the girls getting older!<br />
<br />
Julianne is now 4.5 months old! At her 2 month appt she was 12lbs 3 oz, and at her 4 month, she was just under 15 lbs. She is awesome. What else can I say? She just fits right in and I could watch her all day. Except, I can't with this full house. But I certainly try!<br />
<br />
At three months:<br />

At 4 months (or... 4.5 if we're being honest)<br />

We had two late-season trips to Cape San Blas this summer. They were both amazing with our wonderful families. We've stayed busy on the weekends with soccer, birthday parties, apple picking, pumpkin farm visiting and overall trying to enjoy the fall weather! Other than that... some days it feels like we are just surviving.... looking towards bedtime for some breathing room. But I feel so blessed to be home with the girls and get to watch them grow, even if the days are long --- I know the years are SHORT!!!KatieMGreenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16650693370349963197noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200235791976368757.post-82640326888404011422013-08-21T00:09:00.001-04:002013-08-21T00:09:10.946-04:00Julianne at 2 monthsLife is crazy, nuts and all kinds of looney around here. But I'm told it won't always be like this. Julianne is an absolute breeze - it's just that we are outnumbered! Some nights I crash from exhaustion, and other nights I wonder if I can make it, and then there are times when I feel totally blessed and just laugh at how little - but how much - we can do in one day.<br />
<br />
Julianne is just amazing. Here she is, last night, celebrating her 2 month birthday.<br />
<br />
Oh, wait. First, I had to go find "Pink Bear." I found him dressed up in the big girls' room.<br />

<br />
She did not like the other poses as much:<br />

She's awesome. Sleeping great and just such a chill, easy going baby. At her pediatrician appointment, she was 9 lbs 15 oz.<br />

She wasn't too excited about these pictures. My intention was to try again the next night... and here we are a week and a half later and I totally forgot.<br />

Life with three kids at home is crazy, but I wouldn't trade them for the world! Julianne is getting no shortage of love and attention from all of us! I look forward to the day (that will be here before I know it) when the girls can make her laugh!! :)KatieMGreenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16650693370349963197noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200235791976368757.post-78347523244414405832013-07-08T21:11:00.003-04:002013-07-08T21:11:46.305-04:00Julianne June Green<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismgreen/9091217327/" title="IMG_1178 by chris.green, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_1178" height="333" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3751/9091217327_5f1ebceff9.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />

Julianne June Green was born at 12:30pm on June 19th! She was 20.75 inches long and 8 lbs 2 oz. Perfect!! She's just perfect. I'm late on this post (majorly!!) especially compared to all of her sisters. But that's because I'm just taking her all in and loving it. I'm also adjusting to three little ones in the house. It feels so great though. I love my little family and we are overjoyed that Julianne has made her arrival safely. She fits in so great already.<br />

Here are some fun shots of our 5 day stay at the hospital! Northside treated us so well. The perinatal loss group, Heart Strings, who was so wonderful with us and Hallie - made sure we felt great and celebrated our rainbow baby with us.<br />

<br />
There are things about her that remind me of Bella, Farrah and of Hallie. I can't wait to see what her little personality is like, but for now I'm just holding her and loving on her and soaking up this sleepy baby stage!!!<br />
<br />
Thank you all for loving us and celebrating our little Julianne with us!<br />

<br />
Mystery Baby or Green Baby #4 is also known as a "Rainbow Baby."<br />
<br />
Rainbow Babies are known as babies born to a family after the loss of a child. It's something that is "beautiful and full of light and has appeared after darkness and clouds."<br />
<br />
I am beyond excited to meet this sweet face that has been bouncing around for 39 weeks. And these two little girls have been counting down the days with me for quite a while, practicing changing diapers and getting pumped about being big sisters.<br />
<br />
Words can't really explain my excitement. God is so good. We are blessed!<br />

<br />
Kind of in denial that she's old enough for this! But then again, it doesn't because I feel like Bella is this little lady stuck in a little girl's body :) She's amazing to me- all that she knows and says, her thoughts and her thoughtfulness, her creative and curious spirit. I am so proud and honored to be her mom. We are truly going to miss her weekday school and the intimate setting there. It's been apart of our life for 5 years! Thank you to all the teachers who have given her a great start in her education! Love yall!!<br />

It was a little chilly, but they played for a bit. And they entertained us by running through the water for pictures. They have been so good tagging along with us as we move in one place and out of another. We try to remember to go have fun, too, in between all the "to-do" lists right now.<br />
<br />
How fun are these pictures Chris captured?<br />

<br />
I am 35.5 weeks pregnant, and only 25 days left to go until my c-section! It will be exactly 18 months after Hallie's birthday. June 19th - same day of the month as Hallie and Farrah! I am so so so excited to meet this baby and have the surprise of the gender. We have not yet decided on a name, and I'm pretty sure we're not even close. It's hard enough to pick one name, but trying to decide on a boy and a girl name is even harder!<br />
<br />
We moved last weekend and are trying to get settled. So far, we love it. We are not far from where we were - we have lots more space and a huge yard to play in :) I am pretty unsettled as far as unpacking and decorating, but I know it will get done. I swear all I need are diapers for this baby and I'm set. I cannot wait to hold my baby!!! You realize after the first baby, then a second, then from a miracle baby that you didn't get to keep here on earth long --- how much you really don't need. Everything material seems so insignificant to me now. For the most part, of course. I still love all the baby stuff -- but it's the least of my concern these days! I'm just treasuring every kick (and there are A LOT!!) and trying to not complain about pains too much (which I fail at!) as we await this sweet new family member.<br />
<br />
Ryan and Melissa had their first baby last night. Melissa did awesome, and she and Ryan are already natural and great parents. It is so cool seeing your sibling as a parent, holy cow. Holding Hollis made me even more ready and excited. She is so incredibly beautiful and perfect. I love how our families are growing!<br />
<br />
Here are a bunch of photos to play catch up!<br />

<br />
Here is an ultrasound from last Tuesday, at 22 weeks:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismgreen/8513797253/" title="Untitled by chris.green, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8366/8513797253_b6ca59c259.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I love that profile! Everything is looking good and baby's gender stayed a secret.<br />
<br />
Then there are these crazies keeping me busy:<br />
<br />
at school on Valentines' Day:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismgreen/8514909576/" title="Untitled by chris.green, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8109/8514909576_6453ef7324.jpg" width="375" /></a><br />

<br />
At the libary:<br />

<br />
And I just found this. Apparently Farrah loaded me up with stickers on my backside, then took a picture of it, all while I was cooking dinner.<br />
<br />
so, yeah... I don't blog much anymore... haaa<br />

Thankful for my little ones. Counting down the time until we meet baby Green #4!<br />

I had an ultrasound that day, the one with all the anatomy scans and stuff. We have decided not to find out the gender this time around! It took convincing (of myself and of Chris by me), but we made it past the ultrasound -- so now we'll be surprised at birth. I have a few little reasons for wanting to do this, but mostly - why not? I could totally LOVE being the mom of all girls or LOVE having a little boy! If it's a girl, we have things covered. If it's a boy, it will be mid summer in Georgia, and he won't need any clothes anyway! :)<br />
<br />
I'm starting to feel little flutters when I lay down at night. I'm showing for sure. All is the same in this pregnancy, with a few added varicose veins (compression knee highs are my bff right now.) I'm enjoying being pregnant and I try to never take this little life inside of me for granted. The four of us couldn't be more excited about adding another person and personality to our family.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures.<br />
A profile pic, one of the baby with it's fists up, and a third with the legs straight up (flexible like Farrah!)<br />

<br />
I have no "feeling" as to what the gender is. I never do, though. But boy will it be fun to find out this time at birth!!!<br />

<br />
I can't believe it's 2013. Not sure about you... but we are just now, like maybe today, finally getting back into the swing of things after the holidays! Kind of. Ha! It was so nice to have Chris home for a little over a week, and it's taken a bit to get back into everything. Sleeping schedules, eating non-holiday food, everything! We enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
We're not huge fans of winter. Feeling a little cooped up! Bella asked me a couple of days after Christmas, "So, is winter over now?" (It was only 50 degrees by the way). I had to inform her it had in fact just started. She replied, "We aren't winter girls, mom. We are beach girls." I have to agree.<br />
<br />
We were happy to celebrate Hallie and be with family this year. Glad to have the one year marker behind us. I thought it was going to be easier than it was, to be honest. I am pretty sure I say this every blog post... but the roller coaster of grief. Surprises me every time. I've learned what hits home for me, and it's basically anything sad - movies, real life tragedies, etc. - anything that is too close to my reality. So I stick to comedies and try not to read many stories. There are plenty just in our circles. I just stay away from the news and things like that.<br />
<br />
ANYWAYS!!! I got on here to share some exciting news for our whole family! We have so many little blessings for the Green and McIver families. We are just thrilled thrilled thrilled to share this! Three little babies coming (or just come) to town!<br />
<br />
First - Aspen Hallie Green<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismgreen/8362604507/" title="DSCF0029_edit by chris.green, on Flickr"><img alt="DSCF0029_edit" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8362604507_6c9d666d97.jpg" width="373" /></a><br />
Aspen was born December 27th to Brian and Christina!<br />
Aspen wasn't due until Jan 7th, but came as a late Christmas present to the Green Family. 6lb 5 oz of sweetness. We are now Aunt Katie and Uncle Chris!<br />

<br />
Second- Ryan and Melissa are expecting a little girl in May!! We are so excited for them!!!!! They are going to be wonderful parents and make some beautiful kiddos. I love seeing Melissa just glow - she's doing great and is about 22 weeks now.<br />

<br />
And third - Bella and Farrah are going to be big sisters again :) God is good. We are due 6 weeks after Ryan and Melissa, June 25th. I'm 16 weeks today. Here is a shot of our 12w ultrasound.<br />

When I told Farrah that afternoon that we were going, she walked around the house and kept saying, "Mom! I love Santa now!!" (She has seen last years video where she clung to GG the whole time!! haha) Looking back, I'm pretty sure she was trying to talk herself INTO loving Santa; trying to pump herself up. She was great until we walked up to him. Then... we had to pry her down and beg her just to stand in front of Santa. Bella is so funny - she's holding onto Farrah, telling her that Santa is wonderful, all the while holding a perfect smile!<br />
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bella wouldn't say what she wanted for Christmas. Claims he should already know from the note she wrote him. Farrah wouldn't say a word so Santa guessed that she loved Ariel (which she does) so now that is what she wants. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't say enough great things about Santa (Rick!) at Bass Pro. Everyone loves him. He was busy even on a Tuesday night; luckily my mom went up and got a reservation at 5:30 for 7:30 on short notice. He remembered us all and our names. Then proceeded to pay for our pictures. He's amazing. He is so sweet and gentle and patient with the kids. All the "elves" there also cannot say enough good things about him. It was a great way to kick off Hallie's birthday week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
At school Thursday, Santa came to visit the kids. Farrah was crying to me (a fake cry I might add) that she didn't want to. As soon as she got up there, she was all smiles?!?! So maybe she's good now! Bella still wouldn't say what she wanted and Farrah just smiled and nodded her head. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I LOVE THESE TWO GIRLS SOOOO MUCH!!!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had NO idea how I would feel. No two people's grief is the same. And no two days of my own grief are the same, really. I didn't plan anything. Because I wasn't sure if I'd want to do anything. If I'd want to be around anyone. How do you plan something like that anyways? I knew I wanted to celebrate her, but I also felt a sadness coming over. With the holidays approaching and feeling like I'm right back to figuring out what Christmas looks like again... last year was just so different. I feel myself getting overwhelmed out shopping because I just miss last year... focusing on just her. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few days ago, Bella had her first real emotional time with missing Hallie. I think it's the season, too. Remembering her. And listening to her song in the car this weekend, she just boo-hoo'd. Bella is sensitive, but she's never done this before (about Hallie). She said she just really misses Hallie and thinks about her everyday. We talked about how it was ok to cry, that mommy does sometimes too. It was good. And then in true 5 year old fashion, she was back to normal in 5 minutes. </div>
<div>

So, the morning of Hallie's birthday I was still unsure. Unsure about what to do. It was my intention to keep Bella home from preschool, and for us three to just cuddle all day. Except that would only last the length of a cartoon. I decided I needed a day to myself. Really just to nap and be quiet for a while. The girls confirmed this when they woke up with a sweet spirit of remembering Hallie! They were excited to have muffins on our special birthday plate and Farrah even sung Happy Birthday. Bella requested that we make a special treat that she could take to school to celebrate Hallie's birthday (like everyone does, so it made sense to her!) We made some quick treats and she was kinda speaking and asking rhetorically, "It would be Hallie's first birthday. But she's not here. She's in heaven. That doesn't make sense that she died, she wasn't even 40 lbs yet!" (her weight, haha) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that stuck with me. It doesn't make sense. And we are sad. We miss having a third sister. Another daughter. Another granddaughter. But we love her like the other two, and I feel blessed to have had a few days with her. Many more would have been wonderful. 500 other pictures of her would have been great. But NONE of it would have ever been ENOUGH. So I just agree - it doesn't make sense. I don't have all the answers. But we love you, Hallie, and we praise God for you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So... after a wonderful mid-day nap, Chris and the girls came home around 2. We then felt confident in our emotions and that it would be nice to be with the family that surrounded us those 5 days. So we all got together and ate dinner. And celebrated just being together. And got excited about new babies coming next year (Christina is due with Aspen any day now, and Ryan and Melissa are expecting in May!) Melissa had a lantern that we lit in honor of Hallie's one year. It was cool and fun - and got stuck in a tree. Dad ran and got a blower, and we were able to retrieve it and let it go again. Lots of laughs and love and hope. Just what we needed. And then Chris and I just soaked in two precious, precious sweet girls passed out in the van on the way home. Love our families. Love our girls so much.</div>
<div>

<div>
Thanks for your continued prayers! We hope you have a very merry Christmas!!!</div>

Good morning!</div>
<br />
I know most of you know our story. You were and have been so wonderful in praying for us. Especially this time last year as Hallie was preparing to enter this world. <br />
<br />
God has shown us so much love through other people. One example is our friend <a href="http://northpointmusic.org/comingalive/" target="_blank">Casey Darnell</a>. He came to Chris after Hallie passed away letting us know he'd begun writing a song for her (and us). It was beautiful! I knew right away I wanted it played at her memorial service. Chris and Casey got together and had it recorded with some amazing musicians (thanks to donations from a generous person). It is just breathtaking for me. We have been listening to it a lot the last few weeks - it's like a Christmas song to <i>me</i>. Since Hallie represents what I think of as Christmas now. We call it "Hallie's song" and the girls love it, too. Oh my goodness, to hear them sing it with their sweet voices just about kills me. The song is entitled, "Hallelujah."<br />
<br />
As December has started, and we near Hallie's first birthday, we would love to share this song with you! Below is a link for a free download. You can download it and listen to it at home or in the car. Share it with others! We hope you enjoy it as much as we have. I just love having anything that has to do with Hallie and reminds me of her life. It confirms to me that she did exist, that this all really did happen. That she matters to us and matters to God.<br />
<br />
This is a free, downloadable song. Just enter your email address and zip code and the song will be emailed to you. You also will see a link for an donation on the site. That is completely optional. A large portion of each donation goes directly to Hope From Hallie<i> </i>(<a href="http://HopeFromHallie.com/">HopeFromHallie.com</a>).<br />
<br />
Here is the link! Enjoy!!<br />

Ahhhhh!!! Three years old??<br />
I love this little Farrah Kate Green.<br />
Even though I am surprised she's turning three, I can hardly remember not having Farrah around.<br />
She adds so much to our house.<br />
She is so smart. SO goofy. Cuddly when she wants.<br />
LOVES to play dress up.<br />
LOVES LOVES to do anything and everything that her big sister is doing.<br />
She likes to try things herself, and I have to remember even though she's the baby of the house, she's very capable.<br />
I love her little, long stories.<br />
Her dance parties.<br />
Her little hands.<br />
And of course her voice.<br />
Her love for her family, BELLA, her grandparents and friends.<br />
We all love you, Farrah Beara!!<br />
We can't wait to see what the next year holds for you.<br />
Happy third Birthday!<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago, we went up to to Elijay pick some apples. If any one is going soon, can you bring me home some more apples and I'll pay you!?!? I mean it - let me know!! We went through a bushel so much faster than I thought possible!!<br />
<br />
We didn't actually pick very many. Many have already fallen, so we picked them at the market there. They also had lots of "fall farm" kid activities. Like pig races. ha. And who doesn't love a big jumpy pillow?!? And why don't they have these for adults?<br />
<br />
Anyway - we are still here and enjoying our fall.<br />

Wow!<br />
It has flown by.<br />

A great friend.<br />
And so much fun!<br />
Learning what Jesus is all about and how much God loves her.<br />
Smart, inquisitive, and a wonderful big sister.<br />
What a joy it is to be her mom.<br />

What a difference a year can make!! I love looking back at the years past at the fair. How each girl has changed, but their sweet smiles and faces stay the same!<br />
<br />
This year, we had Nana, GG, Grandy and Granddaddy there with us!<br />
<br />
This year, Bella and Farrah were PUMPED about the fair. We started talking about it about 2 weeks before, even going through the Photobook I have of last year's pictures. Both girls loved every ride. The Frog Hopper was again the favorite. The laughs coming from those two are contagious.<br />
<br />
Bella is always so sweet to help Farrah with everything. She's like a second mom, always has been! She would get Farrah in the seat and strap her in every ride.<br />
<br />

<br />
Everytime they went around this track, we got a thumbs up from Farrah!<br />
<br />

<br />
My mom said, "Can't you see them at 16 and 14 years old in car together...?" Oh my gosh.<br />

I hope they are always as close as they are now. Inseparable.<br />

The bumper boats and the swings were probably the next favorite rides.<br />

<br />
It was a wonderful, relaxing trip.<br />
Hurricane Isaac was headed right for us. But it went in such a direction that we only got maybe a day of rain. A huge storm surge took out the beach, but left with it millions of shells. Huge, whole shells. And a good bit of jellyfish. So we spent Tuesday-Friday going to the "Shell Hole" - our favorite spot where all the good shells were found. It kind of became an obsession to my mom, Chris and I. The girls played happily at the top of the beach, under an umbrella, away from the jellyfish. We could just wander up and down the beach looking for our find of the day. (Think of the gold mining shows you've seen, just our treasure was worth a lot less.)<br />
We'd walk over to the beach about twice a day. The middle of the day was spent at the pool, eating, chilling, etc. Nights were spent by preparing dinner and doing fish frys a couple of nights. Oh, and watching things like Honey Boo Boo. We did a bon fire and smores on the beach the last night. (It was the only night the water had receded enough for us to do a fire on the beach.)<br />
<br />
After writing all of that... I'm ready to go back!!!!<br />
