Madilyn's Here!!!

Madilyn surprised us all on Monday morning when out of nowhere my water broke! I didn't even know if that's what it was since that has never happened to me before, so I headed to the dr. to make sure, within a few seconds he said, yup! Head to the hospital! So we got there and luckily the anesthesiologist was there and waiting this time, and I had the drugs within a few minutes...from there it was a breeze! It was the easiest fastest labor ever, only about three hours. She was born at 3:14 pm and was only 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long...just a teeny little thing! She is so precious and I fell in love with her the second I saw her! I am so glad she is here and arrived safely, I just love having a little girl! I feel like we are finally evening up the score a little with the boys! Thanks so much to everyone for all the phone calls, texts, meals nad support, I definitely could not do this alone!

Happy Day!

So, I just went to the Dr. yesterday, and we set up my induction date! It is set for next Sunday, Sept. 28th. I am so HAPPY! That is only 10 days away, I think I can make it ten more days....The last few weeks have been miserable, so I am so excited to have this baby finally here! Although I have no idea what I am going to do with her once she gets here....I guess I will figure that out later though, right now, we just want Madilyn here!!!

Madilyn's Nursery

I finally got my crib set and I LOVE it!!! I got the nursery all put together--now all we need is this baby! If any of you are in the market for crib sets, I found this lady in New York that custom makes whatever you want. She will help you pick out the fabrics and patterns and she did a great job--and was quick! If you want to check out her website it is www.modpeapod.com-- I am not going to lie, pink was making me pretty nervous, but now that it's in the room, I actually kind of like it!!!

Soccer Starts Again!

Last week was Riley's first soccer game on the "Rockets"! He is so excited and really loves soccer. He is now one of the oldest kids on the team, so he feels pretty cool. He had three goals his first game and was over the moon (last season didn't go too well...) Thanks coach Bill again for being such a great coach! I don't know any other dad that has that much patience with a bunch of four year olds! Go Rockets!!!

Baby Shower!!!

A HUGE thank you to Brittany and Rachel for throwing me the most amazing baby shower EVER!!! And thank you so much to everyone else who contributed and who came to support me--I have the best friends ever!!!! It was such a great night, and we all had so much fun, I think I speak for all of us when I say that Rachel and Brittany should go into business together! All the gifts were amazing, and I am so excited to have some things for little Madilyn now! She is going to be one well-dressed baby! Thanks so much everybody for a wonderful shower!!!!

Weekend Project

While the boys were away last weekend I decided I was feeling "crafty". I made letters for the baby's nursery and hung them above her crib...I think they turned out so cute! If any of you know me well, I don't "make" anything, so I was pretty proud of my first attempt at something like this! Thanks Rachel for the tips!!! I can't wait to get my crib set and get the nursery all finished....then all we need is this baby!!!

Riley's back in school!

Riley headed back to preschool last week! We were all so excited, he has the most amazing teacher ever! He was so excited to go back becuase he got to get his own spiderman lunch bag--this year he gets to eat lunch at school, so he feels all grown up! On the first day he was supposed to color a picture of himself to hang up at school. He ended up drawing his person to look like Darth Mall from starwars...ughh...we showed up at school and all the other kids had the cutest little projects, and then there is my kid with this devil child covered in blood and horns...awesome huh? I love you, Riley!!!
