Our Valentine

Big Sister!

We had our 1st day/night at home :-) Ava is just loving on her sister..... wondering why she has to sleep so much... but giving lots of kisses! And being such a big helper.

Holly Faith

Holly Faith was born at 4:35 pm on feb. 12th. Moms water broke at 4 in the morning. Contractions started right away. With some help of pitocin and a epiderhal for only 2 hours. Holly came into the world. She is beautiful and perfect. Seems to be laid back and very content so far :-) Thank you for all your prayers. Will update pics in the near future!

Overdue and ready to pop

Well... I never thought this would actually happen to me. But it did. I am officially overdue. I am going to go to the Y and waddle around the track for the last time today.... more for support of my friend who I haven't seen in awhile... and to know what it is like to have to answer...." I was due __ days ago". But until this baby arrives I will be staying inside....watching movies with my daughter and maybe the occasional hang out at Grandma's. I am alittle afraid of how I would react to someone telling me... she will come when she is ready.... and to that poor person that may be out there... I am sorry ahead of time for what I might say:-)
Is this a poor me.... I'm miserable... ventin blog.. Yes it is. I figure I can do that once in my lifetime :-)
I am really going to try and look at today like I just saw on a friends status. Looking at what happens aS 10% and how I choose to react to it is 90%. If I do not have this girl by Monday they will induce me.... and if one of the ladies that is sch. to be induced this week goes into labor and there is a opening. I will be getting a call to come in.
I now I know why people that go overdue kind of fall of the face of the earth type of concept. To my friends calling. I appreciate your caring... I truely do. But until this baby arrives I may not answer my calls. I may not call back. And it is not because I don't care or appreciate you checking in. I do. I really do. But usually.... i am holding back tears and trying to have a good attitude... and it really gets hard after awhile..... I already sound like i have been overdue for weeks now don't I. :-) That's all for now. My next post will be pics of our Baby Girl... whenever she chooses to show us her beautiful face.

My Big Helper

Down to the last week! This weekend Ava really came into her own with being interested in taking care of her baby... feeding.. burping... and rocking her baby. She also was a wonderful helper for the bars I made for church. She loves the last part! Licking the spoon and bowl!

Birthday Party

For Ava's Birthday Party we did more than we usually do since it was her Golden Birthday. We rented a room at Thumper Pond and invited some friends and family to come join us. Ava had such a blast at the water park... no pics of that... just video wich i will see if I can get that up :-) She was to exhausted by the end of the night!

Ava's 4th B-day!

Time to update :-) Ava had a great day on her B-day. Dad stayed home with her. She got to stay in her Pj's all day and she chose what we had for dinner. Mac & Cheese with hot dogs :-) I can't believe my baby is 4!
