Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Princess

Wow! How fast one year has passed by sweet baby girl - you have been a true blessing to us. I can hardly believe it was just a short 365 days ago that you joined our family, it seems like you have been here forever. Mommy has written a letter for you, and placed it in your baby box, which is very full of special treasures that we have saved for you. I even worked on your baby book this week - how is that for special? I remember when we found out we were expecting you, everyone said it was your Gramma Simpson who sent you to us and that you would be a little girl to complete our family. Gramma always told us 3 was a crowd, and we'd have to round it out with another. Mommy remembers laughing at Gramma, saying "never" - so yes, now Mommy believes you were sent by your very own Guardian Angel from above, her photo hangs in our living room so we can see her face every day. It sure feels nice to have a little less testosterone in the household - I'm quickly learning that you're just like the boys though, rough and tough - I've been dressing you girly as often as I can, it will end soon I'm sure.

You now have 6 teeth, can roll your arms to do the "Wheels on the Bus" song, shake your head no and call yourself by name "Dolly, dolly, dolly" I can't wait to give you your first taste of chocolate cupcake later on today - I'm sure followed by a nice warm bath and a bottle and cuddle in your jammies. You still have those deep belly laughs when the dog barks and a big grin for your brothers when they walk into the room. You love to meet up with your girlfriends to play at Little Feet and still have that uncanny love for Blueberries, earlier this summer you went on a food strike, only eating blueberries - I'm glad to say it's now over and you're back to eating anything you can! Here's some pics from your first year!

Another Midwife Visit

I think she should just move in, she's here enough! LOL Everything is great, baby is still doing great and has dropped, I'm now measuring a week behind which means he's ready to go! Blood pressure, heart rate and urine are all perfect and I sent my GBS ( http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/1647.html ) swab off for testing. I didn't have GBS with either of the boys, but back then they didn't test for it anyways. If I test positive, just means I'll recieve antibiotics in labour, not a huge deal, but better to know ahead of time. So now we're just waiting for him to arrive - everything but MY bag is packed and ready to go! We spent the last week around here battling the sickies, and Gary's back to work tonight after being off for two weeks, which was very nice!! However he's back on his old schedule so he'll work two nights and then be off two nights, easier for him to get more rest and help out around here!! I see the Midwife again on April 8th if I m...

The Arrival Of Dylan

I'll start off by saying, I got the natural birth I had planned on all along!! I was so sure I'd go overdue and end up being induced - I guess I scared him out of me!! Towards the end, it became quite rushed ;) I'd been having regular bouts of contractions for weeks now, so Monday didn't start out any different. I began my morning with my Red Raspberry Leaf tea and then we went shopping at Walmart in the morning, getting the boys sand toys that I had been promising them for weeks and then to McD's for breakfast. We got home, had two more cups of tea and then did some cleaning. Around lunch, I realized these contractions were not only getting more regular, but were beginning to move down into my back - so I timed them and they were about 7-10 minutes apart lasting 30 seconds or so, not painful at all - very early labour. I called the midwife at 2pm and let her know, we agreed to me having a bath and seeing how I felt afterwards. We touched base again at about 3pm, wh...
