More Pictures of Carleigh

Welcome Carleigh

Hey All

Robin's Delivery was uneventfully successful.  She's the 1 push wonder.  Here are some initial pictures of our bundle of joy.  Enjoy

Almost Pushing

5 is nice, but 6 is better

Mom has been here for a week and very graciously extended her ticket for several days to stay for the baby.  Robin convinced the doctor to induce her today, so we are at the hospital and Robin is on the drips with contractions every 10 minutes or so.  No progression in the last 10 days since the false alarm.  

The kids were so excited last night that I don't think Bri slept all night.  He told us that he was up all night with a hot sweaty face because he was thinking about the baby coming.  I couldn't sleep because Robin was coughing and kicking the bed.  Hopefully little Carleigh comes today.

Here are a few pictures I took this morning before church of the kids. Brian got a suit last night and he was very excited to wear it today. He looked very handsome at church today. The girls actually had matching dress to wear for Christmas Sunday but they wanted to wear these instead and I did not want a fight so I let them. They look festive and once Lizzy saw her sister wearing poka-dots she had to put her poka-dotted dress on. They both looked great. The kids are getting very excited for Christmas, family coming, presents and santa coming. Lizzy is really getting into it this year. Brian has to work tomorrow and on Christmas Eve and then his has three days off so we are looking forward to that. I am hoping Carleigh decides to come before he goes back to work. I guess we will see. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Well here I am at 37 weeks. I am not a big fan of showing off how big I am but Lynne has been asking so I had Brian take a picture this morning when I got home from the gym. That is why I look so pretty. I thought these cloths are the most form fitting so you can really she how big I am. Hope you enjoy.

OCTOBER

Well here are some picture from the past month. Nana has been asking so these are for you. Bri just finished flag football and loved it. He is looking forward to next year when he can start tackle football. The kids had a great halloween, we went to Greensboro for the weekend. Brian and I were able to go and look at a few house and get the feel of the area and see what part of the city we want to live in. Hope you enjoy.

Happy Birthday Lizzy!!

Well Lizzy turned 3 on tuesday and she had a great day. She started the day off by opening a present from Nana and Grandad. She had told me she wanted to dress up like a princess for her birthday so they had gotten her a sleeping beauty costume and she was so happy to see it when she opened it in the morning. She had to put it on right then and she kept it on all day long. She also had to wear slippers, crown and wand. She had everyone stopping to tell her what a pretty princess she was all day. We went and meet Brian for lunch at the hospital and her shoes were so loud I think everyone in the hospital heard her coming. She had a great day. When Caty-lynne and Bri got out of school we took them to a place called jumping monkeys and they jumped on all the toys and had a blast. We then ask her what she wanted for dinner and she told us she wanted cheese dip from Moe's (mexican place) so that is where we went and then we came home for pink cake and opened the rest of her presents. I can't believe my baby is 3 boy does time fly. Well Nana ask for a lot of pictures so here they are.

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged. So I thought I would put in pictures from summer up to the first day of school for the kids. Bri is now in the 2nd grade, Caty-lynne started kindergarden and Lizzy started preschool this year. So that means I have 3 mornings a week to myself. Well at least until Jan. when the baby comes. Not that I do much, by the time I go to the gym come home get ready and clean up the house it is time to go and get her. The pictures start with back to school and then go through the summer. We had a great summer and it flew by so fast. We started it off with sailing and going to Canada. Then about a month later we went back to Canada and when we got home Libby and her family came to visit and we went to the beach for a couple of days. Brian has also been interviewing for jobs and actually accecpted one on Monday in Greensboro, NC, which is where I grew up. So that is pretty exciting. That about sums up what is going on here. Enjoy

This is a picture of Lizzy when I staightened her hair one day, she does not even look like the same girl.
