Sorry everyone for the long delay in pics and videos. S is doing well and tonight for whatever reason she was wide awake and just looking at us as Ethan and I held her. It seems to me that she hasn't been this awake since birth. Anyway enjoy!

This is a shot of Baby S and her cousin E. E was born 3 1/2 months ago to Brooke and Alan. The room was full of chaos as all of Alex's family was packed into the room along with our boys-adjust your volume before viewing:-) Its nice to have friends and family come to see you and your new little one. (S was 5.5 hours old)
5 hours old
This is a short video of Baby S only a few hours old, followed by another clip of Jenni holding her 5 hours after birth.

Our baby is here!!!
Ok, so after all that whining baby girl S came at 8:03am on Sunday Dec 7th. She weighed 7lb 13oz and 19.5 in long. We had a long labor but it was actually fun. We used Hypnobirthing andwe were able to do it all up until the last 5 minutes and then I had to get an epidural so my body would finish relaxing so I could let her out... (long story but it worked!) I am doing wonderful! I did better than either of my other delivories physically too and I am up and about better than before as well. Baby S is beautiful and so sweet. She is nursing like crazy and makes the pretties noises. But I know everyone wants pictures so here are a few of the ones we have so far and I know there will be ton to come.

I am huge :)
I was talking to my friend a few weeks back and she was saying that here sister that was pregnant with twins at the time was huge... she didn't have a measurement, but she did say that when she was 37 weeks with her twins she measured 50" and man was she SO HUGE... well I measured myself and I am .........53". I only have one in there and I am at 38 weeks, but seariously...I have only gained 5lbs with this pregancy too, so I know it's not my fat that is adding to it (there is still some there, but a lot of it is gone now) Anyway if you can't tell all I can think about is this baby right now. A lot has to do with the fact that I have surges (contracts) all day and they are hard to ignore but my mood is getting better by the minute and I think I'm going to turn on come music and dance for a while, it makes me feel better AND my baby loves it! Hopefully the next time I post won't be whinning about wanting her to come, but that she is here and how beautiful she is. I am so so so excited to have another baby here! I love her so much already and I can't wait to give all those people who love her too a turn to hold her!!! I love you all!

Here I sit
OK, so here I sit on the couch wishing that I was in the hospital having a baby. I had Andrew already by this point in the pregnancy and Ethan was only a week away from now... so hopefully she will come SOON. I have been up almost all night now 3 night out of the last 5 from all the contractions that I have been having and I am getting worn out! I know it's worth it but she really needs to make some progress soon or my patients is going to run out... not really I can't do a lot about it. (I have tried A LOT of the tricks they tell you to try) I know I'm not even to my due date yet, but I also know that every day that goes by she gets bigger... and with almost 9 lb babies already, I know she shouldn't be tiny.
Anyway I just wanted to whine a little, I can't wait to snuggle her, and share her, and smell her. And I can't wait to see her with her Daddy, brothers and all the other people that just can't wait to see her. I feel so blessed already... I just can't wait to see what she looks like and finally meet her face to face.

Family update
OK, it's been awhile since I wrote anything, and I really want to keep up with this, but it never happens... so here is what we have been up to lately.
Matt's office is finished and he is still working on getting settled into not working at home, and we miss him very much! We all cherish every minute we get with him! He's busy but we know it's for all of us that he works so hard.
E turned 4 last month and is getting so big. He is going through a fit through faze right now... but we love him in spite of it. He is a big help when he WANTS to be and he is obsesses with writing and drawing pictures. He would do it all day everyday on any piece of paper he can get his hands on. He played fall soccer and loved it! He didn't get the whole concept very well, (he was on the wrong side of the field most of the time, while the rest of the kids were far away) but he really loved it and looked forward to the games every time!
A turned 3 last week (Matt and I can't believe that our baby is 3 years old!) He is very kind and the best snuggler. He comes and gets in bed with me every morning for a little while and snuggles and goes back to sleep with me. This morning I layed there away for a long time just enjoying the moment, knowing that I won't be able to do that much after the baby comes, which could be in as little as 9 days... Andrew is so kind hearted and gives into his brother every time, but watch out if you start a physical altercation with him, he will get out his claws... which is a habit we are trying to break.
Alex (I) am almost 36 weeks prego and it seems like that is a factor in everything that I do right now. Some ladies in my neighborhood and I were doing a neighborhood preschool where we switched off who's house it was at and who was the teacher. It has been so much fun, but I am just too tired to teach anymore and so it is on hold for now. Hopefully it will be at someone elses house for December and we will see if we keep it up after that. My boys have learned so much and I have seen them grow... I really hope that we can work it out to keep going. I have been trying to get all my Christmas projects done before the baby gets here, but I have only begun, plus we need to clean out the baby's rooms so we have room for her things here. I have so much to do and so little energy to do it with... but hopefully we will be able to work together and get it all done soon.
We all had a fun Halloween and I have a few pictures, but there not on the computer right now, so I will have to post them later. I promise I am trying to keep up with the blog, but as all of you know, life happens, and there seems to be a lot of living going on over here!
