The Weather

This is how we feel about the snowy, cold weather....seriously!!!!

"FaBuLoUs"

Emma & Madelyn refer to themselves as "fabulous". The funny thing is that they fight over who is fabulous. Emma said that she was fabulous & Madelyn said only she was because she made up the word (she thinks).

My Helper

Sydnee is such a big helper...literally! I don't know what I would do without her! She is so good with Sophie, she even changes her diapers. The other day she bathed Emma & got her all ready. Sydnee is a really good girl & the best helper!!!

5 Weeks Old

I can't believe that Sophie is already over a month old! Time just flies! She is growing like crazy & has really been a good baby! She gets tummy aches every once in a while (mostly before bedtime) & still wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat at night (occassionally she will go 5-6 hours). She still does sleep quite a bit during the day. She is so sweet! We just all love her! The girls are really good with her & I feel so blessed...now if only I had a house cleaner, then life couldn't be better!

Our Girls

Here are our girls & they all LOVE their baby Sophie! The other day Emma was holding Sophie & she said "I like you too much...do you like me???" It was the sweetest thing!

More Details about Sophie

Well, I quickly posted the last pictures, so I thought I should tell a little more about Sophie's birth & how things are going.
I was supposed to be induced on Tuesday & was told to call at 6:00 AM, so of course that night I woke up every hour to check the clock. At 6:00 I called & they said they had some c-sections scheduled & had people come in throughout the night (the dang rainstorm put everyone but me into labor). Anyway, I was thinking 3 hours & they would call me...nope! I called every 3 hours to see what was going on & every time they said "we'll call you when we are ready". Needless to say it was a REALLY long day & when I called around 3:30 & they said hopefully we'll see you by 8:00, otherwise it would be the next day. Well I had a bit of a breakdown. By 6:45 I had convinced myself that it was okay & that I would just go in the morning. Well 15 minutes later they called me in. (I forgot to mention my mom had slept over the night before & I was so grateful to have her with me. She tried to keep my mind busy by shopping. Anyway I love my mom.) Brandon & I rushed to the hospital. By the time they had the IV hooked up they broke my water at 8:00 PM. They didn't start the pit until 9:00 & then I got the epidural around 10:00. The nurse talked me into getting it early because she said if I didn't I would probably miss it. Great advice. Me, Brandon, and my mom were pretty much asleep when the nurse checked me at about 11:00 & I was ready. We had to wait for the doctor who was at home but 2 pushes later our sweet Sophie was born. Wow! The birth of babies is something so incredibly amazing & spiritual! I love the spirit that Sophie brings into our home & into my heart. I feel so much closer to my Heavenly Father because I can feel how close she is to Him. Anyway, she is amazing & our family is so blessed to have her in our home. I love being a mom & I love my amazing husband & all four of our girls!
