MARIE's...HERE

Marie has finally arrived. Very early Thursday morning-1:39am; 19 inches long and 7 lb. 9 oz. Details may come later-for now you just get to look!

Here's her hair




This is us ready to leave the hospital

Past due..

NO baby yet-but thought I should make a post anyway. This baby keeps tricking me, I get what I think are contractions-but she's just kidding and it's just hard..because I get excited then dissapointed and certainly don't sleep as well as I would have otherwise. Plus lately Brandon's been waking up between 5:50-6:00am instead of 6:25 and Tyler's been waking up with Brandon instead of around 7am so yeah that's just great.

I got a picture of the boys kissing my tummy-I got one of Brandon kissing Tyler in the belly-so I thought I'd make it a tradition-too bad you totally can't see their faces-but the point is that their kissing the baby!

Then today I tried to take a picture of myself to show how big I really am..still people tell me I'm too little to be past my due date-so I should be thankful..I don't feel big I just feel tired of being pregnant!

Okay so the pics are being lamo-and I already took the camera back downstairs-so that's too be continued~!

Oh and we got the swimming pool out yesterday. It was Brandon's friend picked him up to go swimming and Tyler really wanted to go-but I didn't want to go..so we got the pool out for him, I think he had a great time!

Still NO baby

This baby is sort of making me cranky! Last Thursday I had some pretty big cramps that I thought were contractions but only had 3 and then nothing-so that was dissapointing..I was sort of scared, then excited, then disapointed..bummer.

Yesterday all day I had cramps, not big ones I knew they weren't contractions-it was just like menstrual cramps but not too bad..birth control ones not heavy ones I can hardly remember having. Then last night about 11pm they got stronger every once in a while but I did my best to just sleep through them-I figured if it were real labor I'd wake up before it was too late. It's sort of good she didn't come because it was a WAY rough night with the boys-Eric didn't go to bed until about 1am I think and he has to be in at 6:30am this week..but I think Brandon woke up at least 3 times, 1 time he peed on the carpet because he didn't make it to the bathroom and Tyler woke up 2 times I think and 1 time his diaper leaked and he needed a new pair of pajamas..poor guy-referring to Eric because I know he got almost NO sleep. I just did NOT feel good and didn't want to get out of bed-he knew that but after so many trips upstairs I started feeling sort of bad.

And again today I've got mild cramps. The cramps make me cranky towards others-plus it's just annoying..come out already if you're going to do this to me for the next week I'm not sure what I'm going to do!
