Happenings

Nellie is obsessed with this little monkey harness. We got it with Lizzy because she would run off in stores and I couldn't find her. We never used it too much and it has been floating around the house. Nellie found it one day and decided that it was her new favorite toy. She will wear it all day long and wants to wear it to bed too. She loves to play a little game with it too, she comes up and hands you the tail and says "Pull my tail!!!" then she runs away and wants you to pull her back really hard. She will seriously want to do it for hours. The things that entertain little kids.


She also loves to play with stuffed animals. Doggies are her favorite. I used to feel like stuffed animals were a waste of money, but not with my girls, they love stuffed animals, they love to sleep with them (you should see their beds at night) and play with the all the time.

Lizzy loves Jane so much! I think that she almost thinks that Jane is her baby. She wants to hold her all the time and kiss her and squeeze her, and smother her pretty much. I am trying to be patient with it, but sometimes it is a little too much. Lizzy can be such a bossy girl sometimes. The other day I was getting really frustrated with Nellie because she had wet her pants and wouldn't put on new ones, and Lizzy came up to me and just like a mom would do she brushed my hair back and said in her bossy little voice, "You need to be a good mom and not a bad mom." I couldn't believe her, what a punk!

We have been really enjoying our baby Jane. She is still sleeping a lot, but she is up for at least four hours in the evening, and man is she awake! She has such bright eyes, I love it. She is a really good baby and is generally only waking once at night to nurse, so why am I still so tired everyday? She loves her Daddy a lot and smiles for him all the time, I still haven't gotten a smile out of her. We just love her so much and can't imagine our family without her.

Jane's Blessing & other pictures

Sunday we blessed Jane. We decided that with my Mom visiting and Kevin's parents visiting, that was the most family we were going to get so we took advantage of the opportunity. We blessed her at home and Kevy gave the sweetest blessing. It was such a wonderful day. We are so happy to have this beautiful little spirit in our home. My wonderful mom took over for me and made the meal with Kelli and Kevy's mom. It was really hard for me to not be in charge and do it, but I guess it was a good lesson on letting other people help me.Jane looked like a little angel sleeping in her Daddy's arms.

Kevy and all his girls

I need a haircut and color sooo bad, I haven't had my hair done since June and I have been trimming it myself, I really need Kiki to come out and do it for me.

Nellie always manages to make the silliest faces in pictures.
This was a picture of the girls meeting Jane for the first time. Lizzy now really thinks Jane is her baby and wants to hold her nonstop. She is such a little Mommy, Nellie on the other hand likes Jane and wants to hold her sometimes and loves her ,but she is struggling with the adjustment and has reverted back to being not potty trained, which is so hard with all the work I put in and with trying to take care of a newborn as well. My mom left today and I just don't know if I am physically ready to take care of these three along with all the housework. I will just have to let some stuff go which is SO hard for me to realize.

So sweet, Kevy loves his little girls so much!

Jane is a very alert baby. She will look right at you and just stare while you talk, it is so cute.

Jane was on the floor and the girls decided they needed to be right there with her.

Our Baby Jane is Here!!

We are so excited to welcome our sweet little girl! She was born at 12:22 p.m. on January 6, 2009 , she weighs 7 lbs 3 oz. and is 19 inches long. She is so sweet and loves to be talked to. She was born with lots of dark hair, and has the cutest chipmunk cheeks.

And she even has Daddy's crazy long toes just like her sisters do.

Almost There

I guess I have made it. What a blessing it has been to have made it full term after what happened with Nellie. I am so glad that I made it this far, but man I am really ready to have this baby and not be pregnant anymore!

I can't sleep laying down half the time because I have heratburn and reflux so bad. The baby is so far up in my ribcage, that I can't even imagine where all of my insides are. My ribcage is so sore and there is this one spot that she is that I have this weird numbness and prickly feeling all the time. I feel like such a big cow, even though I know I am not, I just can't move like I want to. I am just so dang tired, I guess that is also because I have two very active children to take care of as well. The good thing is that because it is winter I haven't had any of the swelling that I had in my first two pregnancies, so that is good. I hope that her activity level doesn't transfer to after she is born because then I am in for it. My other two were very active, but she is even more so then they were.

I am scheduled for a c-section on Tuesday so I only have a few more days. It is weird because I am more nervous for the c-section this time, I think because both of the other times it wasn't planned so I didn't have time to get nervous about it. But I am just so grateful to know that I get to have a priesthood blessing from Kevin and that will greatly relieve my anxiety. I really would have loved to not have a c-section and have my babies the normal way, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards for me. I am just grateful to be able to have babies. Lizzy loves to kiss my belly and talk to baby Jane. She asks me everyday how many more days until baby Jane comes. And them when I tell her she gets all sad and says "I want my baby Jane here now!" She is going to be my very good helper when Jane gets here. It is also so funny because she talks about wishing she was married so that she could be a mommy and have a baby in her belly too. She is such a doll.
