Barbies??

This is why you have to be careful who you let your kids play with. The Young's are our friends and they have, in the last year or so, adopted my son Tyce as their own. He would rather be there than home and is completely comfortable in their family. I'm sure they spoil him rotten while he is there and that is ok. Teasing them the other day when they offered to take him, I mentioned that he learns bad things at their house.(he really doesn't) So I get this email from Brannon the next day asking if this is what I meant by learning bad things. I asked Tyce about it and he said, "I played with the brown one and Carson got the white one." I actually love this picture and think it will be great as he gets older to threaten him with when he misbehaves as a teen. I did tell Brannon that I am glad that his kid is holding the topless Barbie.

I have a daughter!

On April 7th at 4:20 am Bella Grace Talbot joined our little family. She was immediately loved and adored by her 3 older brothers. They are still very much in love with her. Trevon tells me every day that she is cuter than the cutest flower. They are so sweet and gentle with her. I can only hope this continues as she gets older. I have a feeling she will be wrestled and tackled more than she will like.

Bella was 7 pounds 4 oz and 19 in long. Labor was quick and painful but all very worth it. I would do it again just to remember the joy of finally having her in my arms. I hope I will never forget what it is like to go through labor and delivery. I know it sounds crazy but i am grateful for those experiences. She has great skin still even after 2 1/2 weeks. She eats well and sleeps great and loves to have her hair washed. I can't imagine our family without her.

How long is two weeks?

Ok so it's really lame that this is the first blog of the spring and that there are no pictures of my beautiful kids but hopefully it will get better in the coming weeks. So to get back to my title, How long is two weeks? F O R E V E R !! if you are 38 weeks pregnant and progressing and really, really want to hold that little baby girl that is coming. Ok, I just had to vent for a second. Ahhh, now.... I have loved being pregnant and I still feel great. No, not great but good. I feel very blessed to feel this good. I hope when it is all over I can remember how it feels to have a little person moving inside of me. It's amazing and wonderful.
