I have always been about 2 weeks early.

This little one decided to make me wait.

So I was induced a week early

because

I couldn't handle being pregnant anymore.

Everything went well.

We are both home and healthy.

Bailey and Beau love her,

love her,

love her!

Bailey just keeps saying,

"Mom, she's so cute!"

Beau told her once when she was whimpering in her sleep,

"It's okay there's no monsters in our house."

It's crazy to have 3 kids,

at home.

I love my family!

This picture my dad took

10 minutes

after she was born.

Isn't it precious?

Look at that huge grin,

she loves here mama

and

was just as excited to see me

as I was

to see her.

Here she is sleeping soundly in the hospital bed

as we were getting ready to leave.

Look at this gown!

A good friend of mine made this for Channing.

I was so excited when she told me she had something for me

because

I know how amazingly talented she is with sewing.

So, I figured it would be something she made.

She also made me one of those

cute, wet wipe containers that's covered

in the same fabric.

Thank you Diane, I love both of them.

(she's also made the dress Bailey is wearing

on our Christmas card.)

I know this is only a few but don't worry, there will be plenty more in the next week.

Dance, dance, dance!

Bailey is such a girl.

Loves to dress up, do make up, do her hair,

&

she LOVES her new dance class.

This girl has to pull some pose

whenever I whip out

the camera.

Here she is with her cousin,

Sierra.

She is taking dance with a few of her cousins.

They have a blast!

She's growing up so fast!

It makes me sad but I also

love it!

Update on baby # 4!

I am due on March 29th.

I've always been at least 2 weeks early.

If I haven't had her by the 22nd,

they will induce me.

Hopefully I don't go that long.

I do not enjoy the end of pregnancies.

It's just a waiting game.

Wondering if and when

you're going to go into labor.

Too uncomfortable to get much done,

lots to do,

and just wanting to not be pregnant anymore.

But, it is all worth it in the end.

I can't wait to meet this little girl.

We are all anxiously waiting her arrival.

We'll let you know when she's here.
