Baby Sister

the Carseat

I know this isn't as exciting as pictures of the baby, but here's the carseat mom made. Cute, huh?

Jane Ashely Dance

So our little angel was born last night at 9:59pm. She was 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 1/2 inches. I can't wait for you all to see her. Pictures don't ever do justice. She is so sweet!

less than 24 hours...

So as you all know, tomorrow is the big day. I'm really excited/nervous/anxious. My doctor perscribed me some ambien to sleep. I went in on Friday and basically broke down and balled to the nurse and then to him. I was SO tired b/c every day this week I've woken up between 4:30-5:00am and can't get back to sleep...must be anxiety or something. Plus the worrying that she's moving, etc. I'm fine now, just tired (but that won't change, right!). Mom is here and we've been making me a new car seat cover. I'll post a picture later when we are done. When I'm done with it, I'm sending it to anyone who has a baby girl in need of an infant car seat cover! It's too much work to not be used again! Mom even re-created the canopy!
Pictures will be coming soon (of the baby that is!)!!!!

Post some news people.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Lincoln & Makenna's preschool went to a pumpkin patch. After a 1/2 mile hike we got to the south end of the pumpkin patch. All we could find were little yellow pumpkins, or bigger green pumpkins (they looked like zucchini)! Finally someone made it to the North end of the patch and found a bunch of good sized orange pumpkins. So we all walked to the complete other end of the patch and got our big pumpkins! Smart thinking! Now we had a bad pumpkin to adult ratio. At one point Whitney was carrying two big pumpkins, Bond and Marlyn were both carrying theirs, and Makenna and Lincoln were trading off carrying one in a backpack, while I was also carrying two. So I was carrying Reagan on my back and a pumpkin in each arm ( I am sure that I looked like a complete lunatic) and sure enough I tell Lincoln to hurry and catch up, and he trips and gashes his head open, and was bleeding like a blood donor! It was a mess. Reagan was having much sympathy for her brother and started crying as well. It was memorable to say the least! Thanks for your help Whitney! I probably would have started crying too if you hadn't been there to help.

P.S. Thanks to Rachelle, McKinley was hanging out at her house instead of crying on my hip too!

Spiderman Saves Baby!

Lincoln is so good about always wanted to hold McKinley. He is so curious to see how much she has grown every single day!

Hanging In There!

McKinley was a good little girl. She was pretty entertained with my keys most of the time.

Climbers!

Even when they seemed a little freaked out at the height, they kept climbing. Reagan would pass Lincoln, then Lincoln would climb a little higher, then Reagan would climb a little higher, and on and on! Since I had McKinley in my sling, Megan had to be the kid chaser up the rocks.

Funny Kids!
