First three sewing projects for baby number 6 are complete. Crib bumpers and crib skirt are all ready to go. In addition, I finished up her minky blanket and lovey so she can come home from the hospital. Now, to machine quilt the two quilts I have ready to go downstairs and then I can put a big check through sewing projects for baby.
Finished the "everyday" quilt for baby number 6. This quilt will be dragged in the car, to ballgames, church, younameit. Feels good to have a finish!
We had a great day on Friday doing a session at the Fort Collins temple with my parents. Great minds think alike since neither of us knew we were planning on the same session until a day before.
It was a great weekend. Ronnie got the swing set super close to done {again}.
Hallee was a little tired at lunch today.
Two days ago, Easton had his first track meet. He competed in the softball throw, the shuttle relay and the 70 meter dash. He did great and had a lot of fun. Bonus: the weather was perfect.
I finished the last sewing project for baby number 6! This is her "special" quilt. The one her monthly pictures will be taken on and used around the house but not taken on errands. I'm in love with how it turned out! Under two weeks to go! Crazy...
Easton and Ronnie when down to the Rockies vs. Angels game yesterday. They had a great time and the Angels came away with an 8-0 win!
Happy 37th to this guy! We sure are glad we got to celebrate him. And he sure is glad the weather was beautiful for golf this morning.
39 weeks today! My non-stress test and appointment went great this morning. One more NST on Friday and then I'm done seeing the docs until I deliver. We have an induction scheduled for the 23rd if I don't go sooner (don't hold your breath, I've never gone early). I finally bought diapers today, so I guess we're ready.
Time to get caught up on instagram. Sydnee Lee Lopez arrived on May 23rd at 12:25 p.m. Mama and baby are doing great. She was 6 lb. 8 oz. and 19.25 inches long. She may be the most alert baby I have ever had. Her eyes were open and observant for two hours after birth. She's eating like a champ and the cutest little thing!
A little birth story. We got to the hospital and all checked in about 8:30 a.m. By the time I was changed and they had monitored baby it was 9 a.m. I was contracting all morning but nothing painful and dilated to a 3. They inserted the gel to get contractions ramped up at 9:15 and I contracted in bed for an hour (my least favorite). At 10:15 I got up and walked the halls for an hour. At 11:15, they hooked me back up to monitors and watched baby for 20 minutes. At 11:35 the doctor came in and broke my water and they hooked me up to the new wireless monitor. It was magical to get up and move around for the transition part of labor. At 12:22 I told Ronnie to push the button to call the doc. I was in bed and ready to push in moments and one contraction (and one push) later Sydnee was here! She was so tiny and perfect. Love our little girl!
Sydnee has so much hair!!! Way more than any of my other babies. It is my favorite.
Family of EIGHT! So crazy! Love this circus of ours.
The kids got to the hospital a little bit after school was out and were thrilled to hold baby Sydnee. Hallee was so loving and I think she thought Sydnee was her own personal baby doll.
We've had a few other visitors as well! (Not all visitors are pictured). Sydnee has a wonderful support system of family and friends. Lucky girl. And lucky us.
Cute newborn feet!
Devynee had Kindergarten Graduation this afternoon. She has excelled this year nad loves school and her dear Mrs. Yosten. We are proud of her and all she has accomplished. Now, on to 1st grade!
