Our Easter Blessing!

Here she is! Ashley Noelle was born on Easter Sunday, March 23rd at 1:44 p.m. She weighed 9lbs and 1 oz. Yes, you read right, 9 lbs!!!! We did get to have a bit of an Easter morning with Abby before we took off for the hospital at 7:00 a.m, which is what we were hoping to be around for. The timing was perfect, God is so good!

Here's the proud big sister with her little sister. Every time she holds her we have to take a picture, but this was the very first one!

Mom and baby are doing great!
Proud daddy of 2 girls! Which by the way her hair may look dark, but her hair is a bit lighter and her eyes are getting blue! Another one that takes after her daddy.

She's ready to go home! Actually, we were all ready to get home! We're all doing great and adjusting to new routines again, but we're really loving every minute of it!

Counting down!!!

Well, went to the Dr. yesterday and I'm almost 3 centimeters dilated! Woohoo!!! I'll be induced next Thursday, if I don't go by then. I actually had the option to get induced this weekend, but it's Easter weekend and I really don't want to be in the hospital on Easter. Who knows, I really might not have much of a choice in the end. We'll see. These pics we took the other night. I did cut my hair, but there's a bit of a shadow around my head. Abby wanted a picture of her with mommy and baby sister. Can't believe we've been able to keep the name a surprise for this long. Everyone will find out soon enough.

Believe it or not Abby took this picture of Jeff and I. She does pretty good taking pictures. We'll have to get her her own kid friendly digital camera one day.

Well, we'll see if I get to put any Easter pics up before I have this little one. I'm just praying to make it through this weekend.

Diaper Shower!!!

Last Weekend Edith threw me a very pretty diaper shower. It was so much fun to see friends that I haven't seen in while. For those of you that did come, thank you so much. I am nicely stocked up on diapers of all sizes! What a blessing! Here's some pics from it and you can even see me with my big belly. Mind you I am due at the end of this month ( aside for the fact that I'm sitting here typing while snacking on a bag of chocolate turtle chex mix :-). Abby got in on the fun towards the end. Steve and Jeff did take the the kids out for a while, but came back for the goodies, plus it was very hot outside!
