Introducing Fitz Winters Bagley, the fourth edition to the Bagley Empire.  He was born on 7-7-2015 at about 7 minutes to 7 pm, weighing in at 6 lbs 7 ounces.  And I think you all know his lucky number now.

When you upgrade to 4 kids, there’s no raise or title change. While strangers coo and compliment a single babe or even a pair of thumb suckers in a grocery cart, a quartet of babies leads onlookers to change aisles. The only real reward to parenting this many kids, this close together, is knowing you are the the founder of an eternal organization. And more good news, I am significantly more adept at swaddling, buckling, bribing, and soothing my fourth time around then I was as a virgin parent.

And kissing soft baby cheeks never gets tired.  I could stare and watch him blink all. day. long.  And sometimes I do.

I plan to share some of my hard earned experience, but I want to know how all you other moms are surviving. What’s your best parenting tip?
