Finally Here!

It's a girl!!! Our precious Emery has finally arrived (actually she arrived two weeks ago but I'm just now blogging about it). She was five days late (yes, I was induced) and weight in at 8.4 lbs. We just can't get enough of her, we love her so! I'll post more pictures soon!

One Year

Well, it has officially been one year and almost one month since I last blogged. I'm not really sure why, plenty has happened since then. A few weeks ago Aubrey came in to the kitchen and announced, "Well, we have all learned a valuable lesson. Size eight under ware does not fit me." As she proceeds to tuck in her under ware to her jeans. Then I remembered why I should start blogging again. My kids say and do funny and cute things and I'm not going to remember them unless I write them down. And when they are teenagers I'm going to need a reminder of how cute and funny they once were. Like the way Ella begins everything she wants to tell me with "Once upon a time". Dailee is going to be 11 tomorrow. ELEVEN! When did that happen? Am I old enough to have an 11 year old?

Some of you probably know from my Christmas card that I am expecting again. I'm due March 3rd. We decided not to find out what we are having just to mix things up a little bit and try to make this 5th pregnancy a little more interesting. The best part about not finding out has been people's reaction. It really drives some people crazy. So, let me know your prediction, boy or girl? People keep asking me what my motherly intuition tells me, but I honestly have no idea. I'm thinking probably girl, you can't really go wrong with a girl but deep down I think I'm really hoping it's a boy for Quinn (and Dave).

Quinn is convinced it's a girl and when I asked him why he said "Because of Grandma Terry". My mom, Grandma Terry, had five girls and one boy. So Quinn just figures he will be the only boy just like his Uncle John. I'm kind of glad he's taking this approach instead of having is heart set on a baby brother and possibly setting himself up for disappointment. Aubrey and Ella also think its a girl, but Dave and Dailee are holding out for a boy. We'll know in about 26 days, not that I'm counting:)
