I'm Sorry, What's That Blur?

It's our baby!!! Have you ever seen a baby any cuter than this one? That was a rhetorical question because of course you haven't!
The Doctor said that whatever I had for lunch today the baby was loving because it was moving all around and kicking it's little feet. So stinkin cute! The pictures that we got are very blurry because of that though.
(Sorry kid you are going to have to learn to sit still for the camera if you are going to be my child!)

The heartbeat was right on 140 beats per minute, and it is 6 1/2 inches long. Or rather 58.86 mm.

I don't know if I had more fun watching Neil or the Baby!

My next appt. is April 24. But I will only be at 16 weeks then so we probably won't find out the sex of the baby until the following appt. in May.
Well, just thought you might like to see our adorable bundle of bouncing joy!

I'm an Auntie Again!

Here is a picture of 3 of my neices. Hope, Faith and new baby Emily, with new mommy and Grandma looking on!
Emily Elizabeth is a little over an hour old in this picture.
The nurse came into Brenda's room at 8:30 and said they were going to start trying to push so Brenda told me to wait in the hallway. And thinking we still had a ways to go and that I would get to go back in the room again, I did. Well, Brenda did amazing, or so I heard the nurse say, because everything strated happening really fast. And Neil and I were still standing in the hallway waiting when we got to hear Emily cry for the very first time. That has got to be one of the coolest sounds I have ever heard.
I didn't get to see her first though. Brenda said something about Grandparents getting that right. WHATEVER! Anyway Neil and I went into the waiting room, were everyone looked really anxious, and told them they could go in and see their new grandbaby. Man did that room clear out fast!
Congratulation Brenda and Zachary! You guys are going to be great parents!!! We love you and your new little Emily so much already!

Snow Day at Auntie's

Last week I took my first pregnancy sick day and when I opened my windows I was so glad I had! The prettiest snow flakes were drifting down, and there was about an inch on the ground.

I called Jennifer to tell her if she wanted to bundle up the girls she could come on over. (Seeing as even if I was contagious, she already has what I got!)

We made two snow men, complete with carrot nose. (Dixie was really the expert in that one, she can roll up snow like you wouldn't believe.) We also tried our hands (and feet) at snow angels, but seeing as we kind of used most of the snow for the men, it was hard to make in impression you could see.

Isabella loved to watch the snow activities, but when we set her down I think her bottom got cold to fast. Her nose got the cutest color pink!

And according to Jed tradition, Tessa finished the day at Auntie's with a cup of Hot Chocolate.

I had so much fun playing with the girls. It was nice to see all the snow! That is one thing I am going to miss when we move. We have gotten snow three or four times in Shasta Lake when Redding didn't get any. But I don't know that that is a good enough reason to stay up here!

Thanks girls for coming up and playing with me in the snow. You were so CUTE!
