Tired!!!

Daddy's little Girl

Little miss adorable

Well it has been a week since my beautiful daughter was born. I forgot how hard it was to get used to a new schedule, or should I say lack of one. Little Emma Jean is adorable, I am not biased or anything. Everything went great with delivery and we came home two days later. She weighed 6lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. Small but my biggest baby. She also has a head full of dark hair, we are unsure where that came from; because Joel, Me, Ethan and Parker were all born with a little bit of blond hair. We have got lots of meals brought in, thanks to everyone for your help.

The boys just adore their little sister, they fight over who gets to hold her. Ethan likes to kiss her, pet her head and say "You are my sister." We are so glad to have her in our home, she is an angel and a blessing. It took so much to get her here I am glad she is finally here. Joel always said he never wanted a girl. But now she is "Daddy's little girl" and he just can't get enough of her. She already has him wrapped around her tiny fingers.

Baby time

Well I had a good Dr. visit today I am dilated to a 4, having contractions and totally ready for this baby to be born. So the Dr. asked if I wanted to have the baby this week or next and I of course said THIS week. So Thursday is the big day. I have to go to the Hospital at 6:30am, that will be loads of fun with the boys. They both really want to be there when she is born. I am excited and amazed that this day is almost here, this pregnancy has seemed really long and full of lots of worry. I never thought that I would make it this far. Here I am at 38 weeks and less than two days away from holding my baby girl. I can hardly wait. She has been such an active baby I can not wait to see what she looks like and what her personality is like. I am going to try to do this delivery medication free; we will see how that works out.

Happy 8th Birthday Ethan

Ethan got a card that plays music and he love to listen to it

Ethan is really into the movie Bolt he love to imitate the hamster Rhino

Today was Ethan's 8th birthday. It is hard to believe that it has already been 8 years since he was born, it seems like just yesterday. Ethan is so excited because now that he is 8 he can be baptized. That will happen on May 2, so hopefully the baby comes at least a week before.

I have some catching up to do

I thought I better get up to date with my Blog, My Sister in Law makes me feel guilty because she is so good at keeping up to date. Well as it goes I am ready to give birth to my third child and first GIRL any day now. My oldest boy turns 8 this Sunday and will probably be baptized in two weeks, if all goes well with the baby. We are looking forward as a family to having a baby girl in our home, I am sure she will be plenty spoiled. It is weird to have pink and purple stuff everywhere, I have been so used to blue for eight years now. The boys are going to be awesome big brothers. I just hope she is born soon otherwise we will have to postpone my sons' baptism and he will be very disappointed if we do that. Besides I already gave out all of the invites last weekend. Well some times in life we just have to roll with it and take each day as it comes, I am more of a planner. I like to have every thing scheduled. In this case there isn't much I can do about it, the baby will come when she is ready. To tell the truth with all that has gone on with this pregnancy I never thought that I would make it this far, I am glad she will be strong and healthy, I can wait for that.
