She arrived!

She is here. Dec 14th at 12:51pm. 8 lbs 1 oz. She is so wonderful. Having one baby is soooo easy compared to having the boys. :-) My boys are so loving towards her, no issues so far with adding her to the family other than lack of sleep. :-)

4 more days

Wow, just 4 more days until this little girl arrives. I am so happy with how our nursery turned out. I am super nervous about the surgery and recovery. I have all sorts of emotions lately running from fear to excitement. I hope I can remember how to care for a newborn.

The Boys Questions

The boys are starting to ask me some specific questions about the baby. I didn't expect it although I sometimes underestimate them. Dean asked on the way to school this morning...how does baby sister get out of your belly? I thought I had a good answer with the doctor will take her out. Then he said..but how? I said, the doctor will make a small cut in my belly and take her out and then stitch me up and I will have a bandaid. He then asked if I would have a cast like Caden did...I said no.

I love how curious they are at this age. I hear a lot of why's lately.

Greenbrier

I have to say that the Greenbrier is the most amazing place ever. We had a fantastic time and the hotel and amenities are out of this world. Everyone in our family enjoyed it...my youngest sister who is single, my middle sister with her husband (no kids yet) and my family with 2 - 3yr olds and my parents. Everyone had tons of activities and I love having fancy dinners every night. Yes, it is coat and tie at some of the restaurants and at least a jacket at all. I love that!! But then again I like fine dining. :-)

If you ever have a chance to go (and someone else is paying...like the parents) then jump all over it!

Thanks Grammy and Grandpa!

Having a Girl!!

So excited. I am 21 weeks pregnant and we had the ultrasound yesterday. Everything is looking great and we are having a little girl. I am soooo excited.

I'm ready to go shopping and decorate the nursery!

Punta Cana

We just got back from 5 days in Punta Cana. It was a great place to relax. We went with a couple friend of ours. The only bad part was that I couldn't drink. I normally don't drink very much but being at an all-inclusive adults only place meant I was the only person not drinking. Those pin a coladas were calling for me.

Now back to the grind. :)

I'm glad my husband just has 1 day of work before the weekend. I'm ready for our next vacation! We have our annual 4th of July with family, then a big family reunion, then a family trip with my parents and sisters. Which reminds me...my sister announced she is pregnant too!! I am ecstatic! She is 6 weeks behind me. I can't wait for our kids to be the same age.
