5 weeks ago my little guy decided to make his entrance 2 weeks early. (It was 1 week before my scheduled c-section.) He really surprised us, because none of our other four kids came early! The ones that were not scheduled came two weeks LATE! I’ll tell you, though, adding #5 to our family is my Formula for Happiness.
As you can see in the pictures above, Quinn is absolutely in love with Joseph. She has been since the day he was born. She wakes up and immediately asks for Mama and Baby Joseph and goes to bed saying night Baby Mama! Baby Joseph is definitely Quinny’s #FormulaForHappiness.
Not knowing if Joseph is going to be my last baby, I am soaking in every minute. I hold him as much as I can and just stare at him. (Do I get frustrated with lack of sleep? Absolutely!) I choose to just be happy with everything instead of focusing on the lack of sleep and frustration. Infants are hard, but also easy at the same time. I love all my babies!
My babies and spending time with them is my Formula for Happiness. Gerber would like to know what your Formula for Happiness is. Did you know that Gerber Good Start formula is now GMO-free? Here are a few facts about the new formula:

I love that Gerber has made their Formula GMO-Free to make moms happy. Another thing that makes me happy is taking naps with my two littlest. I’d love to know what your #FormulaForHappiness is. Leave me a note below.
