New Baby Girl

Well, it has been way too long and I do apologize for that.

Life seems to fly by even faster now that we have 3 kids.

So I'll do my best to update.

So this is my belly about 5 days or so before the baby was born.

Then on May 13th (a Friday!)

at 3:35 pm, we had:

Joely Ann

7 pounds and 6 ounces

19 and 3/4 inches long.

Isn't she super cute!

I had a c-section, which was expected.

We were delayed by 2 hours or so waiting for the operating room to be available.

I absolutely hate catheters!

I had the shakes really bad when I was in recovery and my teeth were chattering like I was freezing.

I stayed in the hospital for 4 days and ended up having a theme room for 2 of those days.

The nurses were all pretty nice and the food was actually good.

I was so happy to go home and sleep in my own bed though.

My recovery has been really good and pretty uneventful.

Thank goodness for that.

I think it has been easier this time than when I had a c-section with Harper.

It must be because my body knew what to expect.

This week I will try to do another post with more recent pictures of Joely.

I swear you'll think she is the cutest thing ever (I'm biased though!)

Belly Shot #4

34 Weeks and 3 Days!

Hallelujah! 4 weeks to go.

I can't wait until I can bend and roll over without moaning and groaning.

Belly Shot #3

Almost 29 weeks!

Getting close now.  9 more weeks or so.

Starting to get a little bit uncomfortable but not too bad.

Belly Shot #2

26 weeks or so.

And for comparsion's sake:

19 weeks or so.

Oh my goodness.

I think it's a monster baby!

Last week at the doctors office I was measuring 28 weeks when I was only 25 weeks.

Thankful I don't have to push this kid out!

It's a girl!

Meet the newest addition to our family.

She weights 13 ounces.

The technician said that she is a very wiggly baby.

Kicking her legs and punching her fists like a mad woman.

I think she is just preparing for when she comes out.

You know she was two older sisters to run away from!

Can't wait to meet this little one.

Belly Shot #1

Roughly about 19 weeks.

I am feeling good.

Next week I go for my ultrasound.

Hopefully the little one will cooperate and show us if its' a boy or girl.

And one more makes five......

So if the due date calculator is right:

May 27, 2011

Our family will get a little bigger.

That's right!


Baby #3

We are all so excited!
