She's Here!!!

I'm sure a lot of you have already heard but Ella Deborah Anderson made her appearance on January 26th at 5:22 pm. She was our smallest baby at 7 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches. She also takes the cake on the amount of hair which would explain my heartburn!! She is a wonderful baby and only wakes up once or twice a night to eat. We are still getting use to all the pink and bows, but I don't think it will take very long! Rawlin has gone absolutely soft, which he denies, but he doesn't hide very well!! We are so exciting to have her in our family.

Yes I am still here.....and still pregnant

Ok so DDR and Walmart haven't worked, but today my doctor took pity on me. They are going to induce me on January 26 at 7:00 am!! I will be a few days shy of 40 weeks. I am not sure when we will be posting next but know that we are alive, very anxious, but well. Stay tuned for the announcement of our exciting arrival coming soon!! Watch out Manti, here she comes!!

Desperate Times.....

The saying is true....desperate times really do call for desperate measures!! Over the weekend I went into labor. Things were going well, contractions every 2 minutes, until I needed something to take the edge off the pain. Well as soon as they gave me the morphine my labor stopped, and what I thought was the impossible, happened...I regressed. Having done this a few times, I thought I knew just about everything there is to know about labor, but I didn't know you could regress. Needless to say, I left the hospital 20 hours later as pregnant as I went in, and totally discouraged. Ever since then, I have been on a mission. My friend Brooke Heath and I are in a race to the finish. We are both due in 2 weeks and are both desperate to have this over with. Putting our heads together we came up with a surefire way to start contractions.......Walmart and DDR!!! Unfortunately, the only results were 2 sweaty pregnant chicks and some back pain!!

Horton

For Christmas my parents gave the boys a game called "Horton Hears a Who". It is the cutest game and the kids loved it! I highly recommend it!
