Mabel has been such a shining star in our family. It feels like yesterday that we sat the kids down in our front room and asked them if they wanted another baby in the family. The answer was a unanimous and enthusiastic YES!!!! We made the decision and celebrated by going to Village Inn for dinner! Noah, Presley, and Charlie got to participate in the ultra sound and watched my belly grow and grow. Charlie cried when he found out it wasn't going to be a baby brother!! This year he has continually told Mabel that he is glad that she is who she is. He just loves watching over her. Mabel is not only an awesome gal, but she brings out the awesome in all of us!<br />
<br />
At this point in Mabel's life she is doing so many cute things. She has been learning so much this summer. She says tons of words and is saying a few 2 word sentences like "Thank you", "Please Mom", "Love you", etc. Her response to a lot of questions is a cheerful "Okay" instead of yes. Mabel is super into stuffed animals ansd baby dolls. She loves to load as many toys as possible in her arms. Mabel loves to pretend she is sleeping and giggles when you "fall for it".<br />
<br />
Mabel is a big milk drinker and loves her ba ba! She naps and sleeps super well in her crib. She is our most scheduled child! When Mabel runs around, her head is super sweaty. She is the baldest of our babies and we are waiting on pins and needles waiting for that whispy hair to come in!<br />
<br />
Mabel is the perfect book end to our family, we just adore her to pieces!Teresehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12018605851569607522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361165485231577790.post-68673598160698219852015-08-08T10:12:00.001-07:002015-08-08T10:16:20.739-07:00Provo House BEFORE and AFTER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that we are exactly one week away from moving, I thought I'd share the before and afters of our Provo home! This was our first home purchase and we lived here for just under three years. We made it our own and felt comfortable, peaceful and so happy here. We brought home a baby, got jobs and job promotions, became a primary president and bishopric member, had a child get baptized and one get the preisthood, had another child start kindergarten and enter the realm of public schools... So many awesome memories. We will always cherish this place. We fixed it up and we were able to put it under contract after being on the market for five days. We could not have done it without the help of Josh's family, my dad and Ruth, and Josh's grandpa! Thanks a million!</div>

We took out some bushes that were getting out of control, added curbing and added a new maple tree. We also ditched the decorative fountain thingy and added succulents lavender and other fun plants. We replaced the garage door as well.</div>

This is the same room looking the other direction. We changed the window treatments in the whole house to plantation shutters, we pulled up carpet to place engineered hardwood, we painted the upper portion of the walls "Revere Pewter" by Benjamin Morre (we had Behr make it at Home Depot), we added picture boxes under the chair rail and painted all mouldings, trim and the ceiling bright white. We also changed out the light. </div>

We did a lot of work here! We changed out the appliances to stainless steal, we painted the cupboards "Asphalt Grey", We put in recessed lighting and removed the fluorescent lighting. We added two pendant lights, we added hardware to the cupboards and added a white subway tile back splash with a light grey grout. We added beadboard around the bar and we replaced the countertops with Corian adnd got a new sink and faucet. We also removed one cupboard and made open shelving.</div>

We went to Zija Summit 2014 this year to see years of Josh's research put to use in a new system for determining quality in essential oils. It is emotional for me to see this video because I am so proud of the work Josh has done and I know first hand all the effort and sacrifice that went into it. ;)<br />

If any of my friends or family is interested in purchasing or selling Ameo oils, let me know. This is such a huge opportunity as this breakthrough technology is going to sweep the industry! Growth is already multiplied what was expected.<br />

They are so significant that I don't want to forget about them. Back in the fall we found out that the baby Annalee was carrying had a significant heart defect called an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupted_aortic_arch">interrupted arch</a>. Annalee learned all she could about the defect and found out that it was associated with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiGeorge_syndrome">DiGeoerge Syndrome</a>. It was hard for Annalee to think that her baby could face life threatening trials. The whole family began to pray and fast for her. Annalee found out she was having a girl and decided pretty early on that she would name her Molly Rose. We prayed for Molly by name. Annalee got a priesthood blessing the night she found out the extent of Molly's heart defect. All of the siblings spouses and cousins were there and we heard Molly's name in that blessing for the first time. It was very very spiritual. All of our hearts were softened and our love poured out to Annalee and James and their little family.<br />

As time went on in Annalee's pregnancy, things went so smoothly. In utero, Molly was thriving. She was growing well and had a strong kick and a great heartbeat. The doctors told Annalee that once Molly took her first breath, things could change. She would not survive without immediate surgery. Doctors have a way of telling you the worst case scenarios and somehow, that it is the main thing you think about! In my mind, Molly would be lucky to survive birth. Annalee chose the date of Molly's induction opting to wait till the very last available day to keep Molly safe in her belly as long as possible. In case Molly didn't survive the birth, Annalee asked me to be there to take as many photos as I could. Molly was scheduled to be born on Monday, February 24th. That weekend we had a lot of family time to keep Annalee and James' minds occupied. I thought about wanting to watch Annalee's belly, just to see a kick or some movement so that I could witness little Molly in her element. Annalee told Denise that through her prayers, she could feel Heavenly Father giver her the strength to take on this challenge. It was like a "come what may" moment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Sunday night Annalee and James each got a preisthood blessing. The blessings talked about giving comfort and being strong. I explained to my kids why we were doing all of this. I told them the severity of Molly's condition and that they needed to keep her in their prayers. Every single one of the cousins seemed to have a strong faith that everything was going to be okay. Noah was sure Heavenly Father intended for Molly to pull through this. I would get weepy thinking of all of this and worrying about Molly and James and Annalee. I found myself relying on the faith of the kids to get me through. Noah told Annalee that he talked about Molly a few times at school. Once with his teacher and once with some friends. The friends decided they would all say a prayer right then and there for Molly. Annalee was very touched. TK is taking a class at BYU from a distinguished professor of religion named </span><a href="https://www.lds.org/church/news/print/president-uchtdorf-viewing-dead-sea-scrolls-a-rare-privilege?lang=eng" style="text-align: center;">Dr. Parry</a><span style="text-align: center;">. The day Annalee was giving birth, TK was supposed to be in his class but was excused to attend the birth. Dr. Parry had the whole class kneel down and pray for Annalee and Molly. We chuckle, "only at BYU, ha ha!" but it really was special. It felt powerful to have so many minds and hearts on Molly. We fasted and prayed so sincerely as a family for her. The kids would ask why we were crying in the prayer and I told them that when you are pleading with Heavenly Father, you feel the spirit so strong that it makes you cry. You have this humility that you are begging him for help.</span><br />

As Monday came, Annalee got to the hospital early because she had actually been having contractions all night. She labored comfortably after her epidural. She was amazed that the contractions weren't painful but she could still feel her feet. When it came time to push, Annalee could actually feel that urge too. She knew it was time. I had never had that with my epidurals. As Annalee pushed through the contractions it was a tense time. Annalee was in a lot of pain and she could feel a lot with the birth.We were all cheering her on. The nurse got right in Annalee's face to help her focus. I was sobbing, It was hard to see someone I care about int that pain. Then as Molly's head started coming into view I yelled, "she's here!!" in hopes that would alleviate Annalee's pain! Molly came out a great color and was "screaming, crying, and fighting" as the nurse said. That alone was the answer to many many prayers. Molly looked amazing! As was planned, Molly was passed through the special window from the delivery room to the ICU where she was examined and put on an IV of meds to help her heart.<br />

In the days following, Molly was at Primary Children's while Annalee recovered at the adjoining University Hospital. Molly had an IV and was given tests and being monitored. She was able to nurse and was doing well. As test results came back, Molly's heart still had not grown in certain spots to ease the surgery. She also tested positive for DiGeorge Syndrome. Molly was scheduled for heart surgery to fix the hole in her hear and repair the interrupted arch. Annalee said that it somehow made her feel btter that the doctor said surgery was her only chance of survival. it made Annalee feel less bad about putting Molly through all this. Annalee also mentioned the pain she felt in delivery was meant to be. I need to ask her why, but I'm thinking she meant so that her and Molly could fight together for her precious life.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, James had been doing all that he could to help JJ and Madi feel loved and secure. He was taking them to the zoo, bringing them to the playroom, and keeping their lives full of fun and happiness. We tried to get them together with their cousins as much as possible. Jason and Jennie kept them over for two nights in a row. It felt so good to see everyone pitch in to help JJ and Madi. I had all sorts of memories come back to me of times friends and family members would take denise and I out to get our minds off our mom when she was sick. You never forget that kindness and those tender mercies.<br />

The day of the surgery was super intense. I decided I would go to help with the kids, run errands, or just sit and support. I thought that if things didn't go well, I could take the kids and Al, TK, and Karen could help James and Annalee. When Annalee said that surgery on a heart was like cutting into soft butter, it just made me so freaked out at how fragile life is.<br />
<br />
We all gathered in the waiting room as Annalee got almost hourly updates. TK would text the whole family as all updates came. The hardest two updates were 1) when they made the first incision and 2) when the doctor said they were wrapping up and wouldn't answer Annalee about details. She was worried they were unable to repair the long space of the arch and that they just finished quickly. These updates were given on a phone from the surgical room to the waiting room. The doctor came to the waiting room after over another hour or so and told Annalee that the surgery was a success!! He told her that it was everything they had expected and that they were able to patch up all places they needed to patch up. The blood flow was good and Molly did well! It was THE MOST AMAZING NEWS. You could almost see the weight being lifted off Annalee and James' shoulders.<br />

A week now has passed since the surgery. Molly is two weeks old. She is off all machines and just has a feeding tube. She just got moved out of the cardiac ICU. She is doing fantastic. My prayers prior to Molly's birth were me begging Heavenly Father to help her "survive and thrive." We visited her two days ago and that was just what I saw. Molly's swelling had gone down, she had great color to her and she was sucking away on a pacifier. That little mouth working on that pacifier was the eptiomy of thriving at that moment. Our prayers now are just full of thank yous. Molly is a little miracle.<br />

<li style="text-align: left;">Mabes weighed over 18 pounds at her check up.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">She has two bottom teeth</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">she can sit up pretty well and roll with ease.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mabel hates putting her hands in sleeves to get dressed</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mabel keeps experimenting with new sounds: she says "geee" a lot lately less of "dada" and is figuring out sounds of scratching her nails of upholstery and banging things on her highchair.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mabel is eating solids 1-2 times a day, we are working up to 3. Her faves are sweet potatoes and peaches at the moment.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mabel is a pleasant baby and is mainly a morning person. We take her to the gym with us from 6-7 am where she sleeps in her carseat the whole time.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On our minds lately is the upcoming birth of a buddy, cousin for Mabes. Molly Rose is going to come this Monday the 24th and Annalee is prepping for the big day. Molly's heart developed incorrectly so the moments after her birth will be critical. The whole family has been fasting praying, and going to the temple with Molly in mind.Molly has brought us all closer. We are praying that she survives and thrives. When Mabel and I make wishes on loose eyelashes, we wish for Molly to be Mabel's best friend someday. We know it is in the Lord's hands.</div>

I am so excited that Mabel rolls with such ease now. Tummy time is a sore subject for Plant babies.My theory is that is the reason I have late crawlers. I think it has something to do with their build as well. Who knows! </div>

I had to share some photos of the AMAZING quilt Denise made for Mabel. It matches her room perfectly and is so so awesome. I love it! Piecing the triangles must have taken forever. I love how the back is all grey with a triangle strip and the binding is such a cool black and white stripe. D nailed it. I think Mabel likes it too. Thank you so so so much Sis!</div>

We had a great Christmas this year! It came and went pretty fast it seemed like. Utah got a ton of snow right after Thanksgiving and people (including us) didn't get a chance to put Christmas lights up. Josh also traveled for work quite a bit in the beginning of December. We <i>did </i>have a chance to make sugar cookies, make gingerbread houses, add to our small decoration collection, and wrap presents before Christmas Eve. Which for me was a lot of fun. Waiting till last minute makes me too tired to enjoy Christmas. I have a photo of the presents at day AND night:).</div>

On Christmas Eve we went to Ken and Lyn's for a fun family Christmas party. Aaron has his famous homemade egg nog that we love and we seem to always have Wingers chicken wings there. It is also way fun to see all of Josh's cousins, their kids and spouses. We love chatting and letting the kids play. Our kids got anxious to get home and open their Christmas PJ's.<br />

Charlie and Presley slept in the same bed and woke up multiple times during the night. once at 3 and once at 5. Josh started to get up at 3 then we realized how early it was! Presents for the boys included lots of guns and weapon type toys! Presley asked for lots of bling! She got diamond rings and earrings and a jewelry box that she could paint. Josh got luggage and a shaving kit and I got some cute kitchen things (butter dish, cake stands, dish towels) from Anthropologie.<br />

Mabel was sooo tired. It was a shame to peel her out of bed so early!! After presents we went to Al and TK's for more family fun. Josh and the boys went out with Noah's new bb gun and Pres disappeared to the upstairs and basement with the girl cousins. After Christmas we all passed around a brutal stomach bug. It was nice to get a lot of rest over the break. We are now excited and ready for 2014.</div>

It is so so fun to have Mabel around!! Mabel is a good little shopper which came in handy over the holidays. I can nurse her anywhere and she does pretty well nestled into the umbrella stroller. Mabes has taken a bigger interest in the dogs that she's surrounded by. She reaches to touch Boston's face any time he comes near. Boss will let Mabel hook her little fingers into his eye lids and everything. He just wants to lick her like crazy. Mabel is very wiggly and getting to be grabbing for things when I am holding her. If she is sitting with me at the computer, she pulls on all the cords and gets them tangled in her arms. Mabel took a pacifier a few times this week and it was so sweet to watch her fall asleep with it in Josh's arms. We tried rice cereal on Christmas morning. Mabel thought it was fun to have this new experience then decided it didn't taste very good. Now she gags when I feed it to her!! We are excited to try some veggies next. Mabel is getting a reputation for being a sweet girl and is definitely a morning person. She actually prefers to sleep in as long as possible, but when she wakes up, she is so chipper. We just adore her so much!<br />

My baby is getting big! She just went to the doctor last week and weighs 16 pounds. She is very healthy and doing great.She can now roll from her back to her belly. She pulls her toes toward her face and tips to the side. She loves to raise her legs then let them drop making a flopping sound. Mae is a drooler which makes me wonder if teeth are on the way. She has started to get a little birth mark on her head above her right ear. When taking a bath, she reaches for the blue tiki cup and holds it with both hands AND feet like a little monkey.</div>

Anora and Presley are good at getting smiles out of you. You love getting attention from the big kids. A friend commented on how dark your eyebrows are and I realized they have darkened quite a bit since birth. I haven't really left you with a babysitter yet.

I always have a new found sympathy for my photo clients after we get our family pictures done. Just twenty minutes prior to this shot, Mabel was crying uncontrollably from being stuffed into long skinny tights that are the complete opposite of her body type (hee hee) and layer upon layer of clothes, Charlie was putting up a major fight about the brand new jeans that he wore one day to school and decided he hated, and we all piled into two cars with no clue of where to go to take these photos! Mabel cried her little self to sleep when we reached this PERFECT field by our house in West Provo.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjKx_BjzA75mB2lm9o8jGnXLAF0npCi4QUV8AkXN3w_cAMtjFV0nBJnK9Iioj5fPo8i_NH0phTiw_eW2itOz-J0QenAMsb7-lH2oJGr5_Kth8Ew8niA5y-p4QJoe8SRZypVkeTl7G4oo/s1600/P4v.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjKx_BjzA75mB2lm9o8jGnXLAF0npCi4QUV8AkXN3w_cAMtjFV0nBJnK9Iioj5fPo8i_NH0phTiw_eW2itOz-J0QenAMsb7-lH2oJGr5_Kth8Ew8niA5y-p4QJoe8SRZypVkeTl7G4oo/s640/P4v.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>

We decided to forgo a professional photog this year and have Denise snap some shots for us. Can you tell by my face that I just got done telling her exactly what I wanted her to do? all in all, I am excited about how our photos turned out. I can't wait to get my cards printed. Just waiting for Josh to read through it when he returns from the land down under! Thanks a million, Sis!! (She not only took the photos, but she helped dress kids and negotiate for smiles!!)--We squeezed at least a smirk out of Char char :/<br />

Love this boy (and his dog). Noah has been doing double the school work as he tests to get into a special program at school. He doesn't complain a bit. Noah has such great life goals. He is saving for a mission and college. He is tender hearted and a tremendous leader.<br />
We got some bad news about a family member yesterday. I told the kids on the way home from school that we will be going over to that family members house to cheer them up and be there for a blessing. When we got home Noah said, "we should all pray for them right now, Mom." So Noah, Charlie, Presley and I knelt down in our front room and took turns saying our most heart felt prayers. I was so humbled to hear my babies' pleas to their Father in Heaven. I am so grateful to have such special spirits in my life.Teresehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12018605851569607522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361165485231577790.post-67048749140014034662013-11-05T12:10:00.002-08:002013-11-05T12:12:54.781-08:003 months old<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My big girl is three months old now!! I can't believe it. I want to congratulate Mabes and myself for getting through what I think is the hardest part of the baby stage: the newborn phase.<br />
<br />
At three months old things are easier because:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">You sleep 5 hours straight through the night</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">We figured out how to soothe you when you are fussy better. You haven't even been very fussy lately anyways.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You have three big naps in the day.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You have gained weight successfully and seem to be such an efficient eater. You fill up your tummy in five minutes!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Now your movements are slowly getting more fluid. You have discovered your hands and feet and reach for those toes when you lay on your back. You also examine your little hands just a few seconds before trying to fit a whole fist in your mouth!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You love locking eye contact with people. You smile and laugh every time. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You have noticed your reflection in the mirror and I think you like what you see! hee hee. </li>
</ul>

Mabelina, Mabes, Mabie Baby, Mae, Monkey, Mabeline, and Madame M are your current nicknames. My favorite part of the day is being the first person you see when you wake up in the morning. Your whole face lights up when you see me and you kick those little legs like crazy. You are the love of our lives and we still fight over who gets to hold you.</div>

We had tons of people over afterward for the blessing for sweet pork burritos. I stayed up till 2 am getting things ready for it. Thank goodness it was Daylight Savings. We got an extra hour of sleep before our 10 am meeting with the Stake president. It was also the first snowy morning of the season.<br />

Grandma TK said it was so sweet to hear the name Sonya in the blessing. I bore my testimony afterward and talked about the song we sing in Primary called "Build an Ark" and how it teaches that the Lord will help us through our trials if we are obedient and prepare for adversity like Noah. I mentioned that it is a given that we will all face trials on this earth. This is what we signed up for. The wonderful thing is that these are opportunities to grow closer to the Lord and that we always have him there to lean on.</div>

We are beyond blessed to have sweet little Mae in our family. She has been everyone's baby. All the cousins take turns holding her. Nobody has super strong arms our of the little girls, but somehow they are able to hold Mabes for hours!! Mabel even plays a big role when the cousins play house. She gets to play the baby! They all took Mae upstairs and put her down for a nap and took such great care of her.<br />
Mabel is easier and easier to predict. I have now figured out what her signals are for being tired and having a full belly and needing a dipe. I just stare at her amazed that she is here and so so happy about it. Life is good :)<br />

One of the things I remember most about my brother, Shannon was the music he listened to as a teenager. When I hear any of these songs I instantly think of him. Tears for Fears is a big one:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think my brother got this Metallica tape when it first came out. I remember the lyrics were so clear! I thought this was total rebel music, now I laugh because I remember singing along all the time!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but DEFINITELY not least, WHAM! with "Wake me up before you go go!!" Total head to the beach at Santa Monica music. I was so in love with GM as I was with Shannon's best friend, Anthony Hernandez who at the time I thought looked a lot like ol' George. </div>

We went to Park City for Conference weekend and stayed at a fun Condo. We got the condo because Jason's boss wanted to thank our family for helping Justin and Jason out at work. I love our family.

On Sunday, November 29th, I got a call from my dad and found out that my brother, Shannon had passed away. I was so sad to hear the news. We don't know many details right now. We know Shannon was homeless and that he was in Northern California.A police officer called my dad and said they are going to do an autopsy and mail him all the information. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so sad I never had the chance to get to know him as an adult. His life was very difficult and it made it hard for anyone to get close to him. He was 10 years older than me. I remember him most around the age of 18 which I am pretty sure is this photo:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had lots of photos of Christmas and birthdays. Shannon was only 44 when he died. I am deeply saddened that he had to go at such a young age. It seems that he could never get his life under control. I am hoping that we can find out a lot more in the coming weeks. I am pretty sure my brother struggled with addiction, just like my mom. </div>

Presley and Bryanna decided to get baptized on the same day. We had a great time. Josh was out of town all week prior and he made it just in time to dunk our little gal. I was due to have Mabel one week later. It was a crazy week! Here are the email invitations we sent out:</div>

It was a fabulous day! I'm so proud of Presley for working so hard to make good choices. She has such a desire to be a good person. She loves to help littler kids and make sure everyone is happy. It is her favorite thing when friends are over to fill little cups with lemonade and make popcorn to put in individual baggies for everyone. Her sweet heart just melts me. I love you Pres!</div>

Getting the camera out hasn't been very easy with little Mae. I have been snapping shots here and there, but I have so little time to go through photos let alone edit anything. I think Mabel is growing so incredibly fast. She doesn't even look like this teeny girl any more. Here are some photos of her first two weeks. Here belly button cord stayed longer than any of our kiddos. She had it for two and a half weeks! it made her seem new a little longer.</div>

We couldn't be more grateful for this little stinker! She is healthy and doing great.<br />
<br />
Here is the Birth Story:<br />
<br />
Josh had been traveling quite a bit for work and my doctor (Heather Harrison) asked me if I would like to be induced.I told her yes. Secretly in the back of my mind I just wanted little Mae to come early and force Josh to rush home on the first flight he could find!! But Mabel wasn't ready to come early. On Saturday, August 3rd we had all the family over for Presley's baptism. Grandpa Burnidge was even in town. I moved tables, decorated, and worked my tail off to get ready for this. I thought it might help me get Mabel here. No luck. We scheduled her induction for that following Tuesday because that worked best for the doctor.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, we had dinner at Al and TK's. Annalee and I went for a "curb walk"where one of my feet walked on a curb and the other on the street. It was strenuous! Apparently it's supposed to help you go into labor. We were hoping I could go into labor and force grandpa and Judy to stay in town a little longer. Monday I started to feel like I was leaking fluids, but no big gush. On Monday night we took Noah, Presley, and Charlie to Jason and Jennie's to spend the night. While there, chatting with Jason and visiting their neighbor's puppies, I felt a few little gushes of fluid. Josh and I went home and went to bed. I waited to feel contractions and got nothing.<br />
<br />
At 6:30 am the next morning, we went to the hospital for my induction. The place was empty. I got started on the pitocin and could feel some contractions. We never found out for sure if my water had broken. It broke either while I was being checked or the night before. Who knows. Soon TK arrived as did Denise. Annalee was awesome enough to offer to take D's kids for the day. By around 11, I was getting ready for an epidural and Josh called Jason to come for his lunch break and help give me a blessing. It gave me so much comfort. Mabel's heart rate was going up and down so the nurse slowed my labor by turning off the pitocin. Josh checked and she had it cranked really high. I was worried it would make everything take really long, but my doctor came in and said she had a feeling the baby would come by 3 pm. By 2 pm I was actually ready to push! I couldn't believe it. I pushed probably 5-10 times and out came little Mae. I was sobbing like crazy!! It was such a powerful experience. It literally took my breath away! Actually it took Mabel's breath away too! She was pretty blue and had tons of fluid in her nose, mouth and lungs. I didn't get to hold her right away because they had a pediatrician come in and suction the heck out of Mae. TK was taking pictures and getting peeks of her in the isolet for me. She said she was so cute.<br />

<br />
Finally they gave Mabel to me and it was love at first sight. She seemed to look right in my eyes. I just wanted to nuzzle her all day. Mabel's first night in the hospital was a doozy! She was awake all night long!! Haha. I just let her lay by me and nurse and she worked and worked at getting my milk to come in. Josh had read an article on breastfeeding in the delivery room and he instantly became my lactation specialist (It was so funny!). His confidence and support totally helped because Mabel nursed like a champ! It was amazing to watch those little instincts kick in. The second night in the hospital was so much better.<br />

Every day we are getting into more and more of a rhythm. I think the best word to describe having a newborn is INTENSE. There is a lot of weight on your shoulders to keep this little person alive and thriving. I don't know how I did it the first time with Noah and all the complications he had. Even now as an experienced mom, I still get nervous at times. Luckily I have all the best helpers in the world. Noah, Presley, Charlie, Josh, denise, Annalee, TK, Jennie, Hailie have all been awesome. We had wonderful meals brought to us, babysitting scheduled, fun visits, etc. We feel super blessed!!<br />

We just wrapped up another crazy string of Birthdays. Now that it's after midnight, Presley's birthday is over. We decided this year for the birthdays we would save presents from us and give them to each kid the morning of their actual birthday. Then that day we would do something special like a movie or a sleep over. We had one big party for all three kids again this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since Presley had been showing interest in reptiles, I was thinking of having a snake and reptile party with real snakes and reptiles, but it had been so super hot, I thought we really needed a water-centered activity. I decided on a beach theme since that has been what the kids really have loved about this summer. We rented a bounce house water slide and that took care of entertainment. </div>

Here are the invites I designed:</div>

Josh wanted to keep it simple so for decor, I printed out a bunch of my favorite beach photos of the kids from this summer. I made a clothesline/bunting out of the pics and some scrapbook paper.It really had a nautical feel to it.</div>

The bounce house was about 30 min. late. I was sweating bullets over that. Noah would have been mortified if I had to go to plan B, a sprinkler party!! The bounce house fit all age groups with a bball hoop inside and a waterslide out the front. I almost cried when I saw it arrive. Not even sure how many kids we had, but I know it was more than 20!!</div>

We had a lot of excitement at the candle blowing! One of the little flags caught fire during the singing so Charlie blew it all out a little early. The faces kill me! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGw29gRLq-gc9nxKflqnTRTrhU9p2OF8rD-WkHeZ66rJhB2bHqKUhU856LH6PE76kL0abEhn3yP-4A8bblkM7G_hpbC_ODnYRywKZzBLo2_eealoB7J6eDl1nLyj4HPaFNbWUi4BIGs04/s1600/b9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGw29gRLq-gc9nxKflqnTRTrhU9p2OF8rD-WkHeZ66rJhB2bHqKUhU856LH6PE76kL0abEhn3yP-4A8bblkM7G_hpbC_ODnYRywKZzBLo2_eealoB7J6eDl1nLyj4HPaFNbWUi4BIGs04/s640/b9.jpg" width="476" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8rK7C3DXHsUYZ4ZUtvW379ereJwCQmTDBbVLqJlkhdZkiUxsknkpY_bBwsD0wwQEu6Nzf1Kw8PnjV2NfaohAOECO28nXks-TPgTj6yHndO1KVgGVhpIvV4H7aliMuSfK_WdUeylyG2kI/s1600/b11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8rK7C3DXHsUYZ4ZUtvW379ereJwCQmTDBbVLqJlkhdZkiUxsknkpY_bBwsD0wwQEu6Nzf1Kw8PnjV2NfaohAOECO28nXks-TPgTj6yHndO1KVgGVhpIvV4H7aliMuSfK_WdUeylyG2kI/s640/b11.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>

Another special treat was that Bob and Brittany Turley were in town visiting family. They brought their kids and it was so great to visit with them. Presley gave Ella the biggest squeeze when she saw her. She was ecstatic!</div>

Check out the line for the cake! This gives you an idea of the amount of kids we had. I wish we could have had more. I hate having to leave anyone out. We had to draw the line somewhere, though. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSk6H1G0__CgDjJcTCkMKEolJ4NtCyy-6xty61gJkfn5vsu-4gx7vDBvROHuRKSP5HfGh14sZU43xRJxNvzgwaz0tTqkMY75H5U8ti_tQb1mmrcskAMjHDoleKRq4KeW4iD3VULNk_ZA/s1600/b8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSk6H1G0__CgDjJcTCkMKEolJ4NtCyy-6xty61gJkfn5vsu-4gx7vDBvROHuRKSP5HfGh14sZU43xRJxNvzgwaz0tTqkMY75H5U8ti_tQb1mmrcskAMjHDoleKRq4KeW4iD3VULNk_ZA/s640/b8.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say, the day was a hit. all the kids had fun and things worked out in the end. Our house was even finished enough for us not to have to explain what we plan to do with such and such space ever few minutes! Haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to give the kids props for working so hard to help us clean the house. I can totally rely on Presley to do a fab job with the vacuum. Noah is a master organizer and Charlie is quite the helper in the lawn care department. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next on the agenda: a baptism and a baby. I have the option to get induced any time after today. Not sure yet what to do....</div>

We are were fortunate enough to get to go on a second summer trip to California. Josh had to do work in San Diego for four days and after quite a bit of traveling, really wanted the kids and I to come along. We needed to reconnect. the company Josh was working with put him up in a gorgeous Hotel called the Glorietta Bay Inn on Coronado Island. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trip was tricky because Josh had a flight booked for himself and plane fares were just too high for the rest of us. I was trying to recruit someone to come with me, but in the end, I drove the three kids by myself. It worked out well actually. We all got along great and the kids had plenty of room in the car to spread out. I had the radio keep me company while the kids slept and we made it there and back in one piece!!! Very very much worth the trip.</div>

Look how cute these guys are walking down the main drag, Orange Ave. in Coronado. We were looking for dinner in one of the cute restaurants.</div>
