OK people

I have been thinking that this time I would be having a boy because I was so much sicker and I haven't gained much weight (10lbs so far) and I let people convice me it was, even though the better part of me knew not to expect it...and........

ITS A GIRL!!!!!

I am excited but a bit sad becuase I had so totally conviced myself that we were having a boy that I just didn't want to believe it. But you know, we love our children and are glad we are having another girl! Elaine and Carlos new all along it would be a girl. As soon as the lady started looking he knew. I just wanted to wait for actual confirmation. So we don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe!! Yeah! I will put up pictures later!

She's home!

Good morning!

I wanna hold her!!!

Introducing!!

Evoly Mercedes

Hurray!!

Sarah has had her baby today. She did a very good job of delivering. We arrived at the hospital yesterday evening and they gave her some cervidel to soften things up. She had the pitocin at about 6am and got the epidural about 10am. Sarah's Dr She delivered her chubby baby girl at 3:37pm. Mom and I helped her during, Marlon was allowed in the room and sat by the side. The Dr. asked who wanted to cut the cord and no one spoke up so...I said I would! It was neat...although it was a little like cutting raw chicken. :)

I was afraid that I wouldn't make it through the whole birth since my stomach has been weak to things like that but I made it without so much as a turn in my stomach! I was very happy with that. I think it isn't so much what I see as it is thinking about the pain, but I didn't think about it so...!

Marlon was happy to see his baby. Sarah is doing fine, a little sore at epidural site. Only got a small tear. Evoly is a good sucker, she is having a bit of trouble keeping her temp up but will be fine!

The time has come my little friends!

Well Sarah goes on in Thursday evening to be induced! She is nervous. Hopefully she will calm down once we are there and get her relaxed in the room. We will let you know what happens! Keep tuned in!

Lovely

Well Nana is here! We are having a good time. Sarah and Nana are getting stuff to prepare for Evoly. The girls are enjoying sleeping on the floor bed beside Nana in the Family Room. It is all so exciting for them! We are reading lots of books, eating yummy food, and watching movies!!

Oh last week we had a 'camp out'. We went to some friend's property and did a fire with hot dogs and s'mores and then the girls and daddy slept out in the tent in our back yard! They had a blast!!!!!! The girls got some new silky jammies from Nana and Papa and Elaine doesn't want to take her's off! She loves silky fabric!! Miriam will even wear them despite the fact that they have buttons! :) Here are some pics:


WE SAW HARRY POTTER!!!!!! It was sooooo goooooood!! I think I am going to have to see it again!! We still need to go see Transformers and Ratatouille.

I am starting to have to wear larger clothes cause nothing is fitting me...I got a new shirt that I like, maybe I will take a pic of me in it and post it...maybe! Anyway, nothing else to report!

Here is the recipe for all you who want to try it...who have Free blackberries in your yard boo hoo! Just need to find some yummy peaches! :)

p.s.

I won the pie contest! Yeah! And it was good!! :) I also made cotton candy and got it EVERYWHERE on me! It was fun! :)

I love pie!

Well today I sewed Carlos's boyscout patches on to his new shirt, hemmed my pants and then....I made PIE! It is a blackberry peach pie. It looks so yummy and is going to taste just as great! It is for our ward activity. Hopefully I get some! Just wanted to let you know...here are the pics.

Celebrate!

I usually have something planned for the 4th of July, going to some fireworks display or something. But this year I have been so busy doing other things, that I almost forgot about it! Here in VA they have lots of things going on and many 'shows' you can go to, however, I will never find anything as wonderful and free might I add, as the fireworks show at Fort Vancouver, Washington! It is the best ever, we would go every year, unless it was Sunday, then we would watch it on TV! I realllly miss it! Anyone who is close enough to go and has the time should go!
This year we are going down to Raleigh, NC. I am excited to go back and see the babies again! (I went with the girls and Rose-Marie on Friday last week) Carlos is coming this time so it will be fun, and we are staying longer! The boys are so amazing and perfect, small and wonderful!
I went to my Dr appt today and I should have brought the girls! I thought it was going to be more extensive but they just checked the heart rate and took some blood. They will come next time on July 31st when we do the ultrasound! Everything is fine and I was surprised to find out that I had only gained 2 pounds!! The baby's heart rate is 130...so any guesses this time?
