Well--this was one week before the baby was born I was feeling very "puffy" to say the least. I can't believe how incredibly long this week felt. I went to work everyday hoping it would be the last day I had to go for a while--Courtlyne was upset everyday that I picked her up from school. She wanted someone else to pick her up because that would mean I would be in the hospital having a baby. Oh Well! The baby waited out the week and finally on Friday I felt like something was beginning to happen. 
I was feeling pretty crummy all day long--but finally at around 6:30 I called my Mom to tell her we would probably be going to the hospital within the next couple of hours--so I would call her to come and stay with the kids. Within about 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my water broke. I called her back and said "Come now!" We went to the hospital and as they say the rest is history!

Courtlyne is a great big sister! She loves to hold the baby and snuggle up to her.
When I asked Cal what he thought of the Baby he said "She's Beautiful." He has handled the addition to the family very well so far.
Carter taking a turn holding her new baby sister. Wow--lots of sisters now
Ben was such a great help. He took the week off work and I am dreading tomorrow when he has to go back. He is such a proud Dad! I love to watch him talk to Caeden and kiss her little face.
The beautiful flowers that Ben and the kids brought me in the hospital.
Aunt Holly always comes through with a welcome home sign for the baby. The girls were excited that Holly and Jared spent the night with them one night while we were still in the hospital. Thank you to all our family and friends who help SO MUCH!
The day we brought her home from the hospital. You can still see her little yellow raccoon mask from being in the tanning bed for her jaundice.
SWEET* SWEET* BABY!

Puffy? In that pic you looked like I do at about 7 months prego. Congrats! She is beautiful! How is it with 4?
SHe is so dang cute. I think Anthony is the one who is jealous of her. He keeps asking if they baby is gone yet so he can come and play with Cal at his house. I don't think he understands she is here to stay.

So cute! I love the pics and you look so good in the your picture 9 mos prego. I don't do those pics cuz I just don't look that good, but I always later wish that I would have so I could have them to look back at. Hope you are doing well. Please call anytime you need anything, this week has been kinda busy but if you want to get out of the house come over and visit anytime.
