Leila's Baby Blessing

Leila's blessing was on Sunday. She's four weeks old and already so much bigger than when she was born. She smiles (mostly for her daddy) and likes to be held. Tyson and I are so happy to have her in our family.

Caught on Tape

Here's a video of Eden entertaining family (singing Old McDonald) that my sister-in-law caught on video. Stay tuned to the end of the video, the end is my favorite part. (She says, "Good job everyone!") Oh how I love my little Eden...

The Newest Member of the Family

Leila Anne Finlinson was born this morning at 7:54AM! (6/16/2010) She weighed 6lbs and 9oz and was 18 inches long. Both her and her mom are doing great!

Before the Baby Comes

Our little family decided to go out together on one of our last ever "family of three" outings.

We decided to go to the money museum which was fun (it was also not a large museum which worked out for the best with me and my big belly and a 2 year old).
Next to $40 million dollars....
Eden is as big as $1 million. (p.s. we decided to just go without doing Eden's hair...thus the "mop on the head" look.)
After the museum, we went to Costco (which is one of Eden's favorite stores) and to a few other stores to get some last minute odds and ends. This included a little stuffed animal llama that Eden got for her baby sister as a present (she picked it out).

Right now Tyson and I are taking a break from running around while Eden is FINALLY down for a nap (now that its 6 p.m.)....but I've got a list of things that needs to be done still....

"To Do" list:

• Clean house
• Buy baby diapers (forgot those while we were out)
• Meal plan and grocery shop
• Do some laundry
• Mow the lawn
• Pack "last minute) items in hospital bag
  

I'm ready to have this baby. Wish me luck!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

So....due date's comin'....

Talk about getting my nerves going...

Two kids...TWO...

Not gonna lie, I'm scared.

I went to the doctor's yesterday and this baby doesn't seem to want to even THINK about coming out...hiding up inside of me. I think she's as scared to come as I am for her to come. But of course the doctor has no fear...I mean, why should he, right?

My no-fear doctor decided to set up a day to induce me. The plan is for me to go to the hospital on June 15th at 4:00 where the process starts. Then I will most likely have to stay overnight and I'll end up with a child in my arms the next morning.

Ready or not, here she comes!
