Not so loving KSL classifieds

So we have had our tax money back for a few weeks and I have been wanting to finally furnish the front room...so because I don't really like shopping with a 10 day old baby I have been looking on line. Problem is when I finally get out there the thing that I want is GONE! I went to look at a piano and it was sold, Aaron went today to see some couches that were put on there this morning (on his lunch break) and the lady called and said that they were sold (even though he talked to her just 15 minutes before and she said to come over). That is why I NEVER liked e-bay. You get your hopes up and then BAM it is sold. I will only buy things on the "buy it now" option. I don't like disappointment. Oh well. After Aaron is done with his test and the baby is a little older we will have to actually GO shopping. I don't care if we do have to pay more!

Sunny Days or The Amazing Human Body

I am SO happy that the weather is in the 60s! The kids have been outside ALL DAY!

I am just amazed at the human body. First that Aaron and I could create Emma. And second that the body knows how to heal. Last Monday I was impressed with myself because I got out of bed and took a shower. Today I am cruising up and down the stairs and did 4 loads of laundry. I think that this has been the fastest recovery I have ever had. I still have the baby belly and a big bum and thighs, but it did take me 10 months to put on 40 lbs I can't expect it to be all gone in 10 days! I am just glad that I can walk and wear semi normal clothes :)

I cried.

My parents left today. I cried. I guess the reality that I am the mom sunk in. My parents were fabulous and the kids had such a great time with them! I think they will enjoy their vacation next week!

Emma continues to sleep. I remember with Sarah thinking man, there is something wrong with this baby, she sleeps all the time. Now I think, ah, she is sleeping.

Finally!

Sorry that it has taken FOR EVER to get on here and post some pictures of my beautiful baby! My section went PERFECT! I was really apprehensive since the last two deliveries didn't go so smoothly, but this was great. When Emma came out she sounded like a little wild cat. I teared up when they showed her to me then they wisked her away to clean her up. While they were sewing me up they gave me dermamorph in my IV and it made me throw up all day long, but finally I was able to eat and drink with out throwing up. The doctor said a few interesting things, "how many more times are you planning this thing?" and "your fibroid is so big that it stretched your uterus pretty thin" and "your placenta is really small" what do you say to that, you don't because you have an oxygen mask on :) I loved that they stitched me up and not stapled me. It looks much cuter.

I was surprised how much better my body feels this time! With Sarah I had serious pain. The pain decreased with every baby. It helped that I stayed in the hospital the whole 4 days! The nurses were great and the food was good, what more can I ask!!!

I am just sore now. Mostly in my upper back (due to some serious growth in my chest!) and down by the incision. The kids have been great. I am also blessed to have my parents here to help with the other kids and with me and the baby.

Here are some pictures. The first one is of her today the rest are of her in the hospital. I included one with Becca and her new glasses.

Gifts from God

I am overwhelmed right now that there is a little person in me that will be joining us tomorrow. It has been fun looking at the pictures when the other kids were newborn. Three (soon to be four) miracles. Really, it is a miracle.

One more day to go!

This morning one of my friends took the kids so I could get in my last nesting. I have cleaned the bathrooms, dusted, and mopped until I think it is okay to bring the baby home! My friend came over yesterday to take belly shots for her photography website. She said she had to cut off my head on all the pictures because I was making funny faces. I guess I need to go to modeling school. Here are a few of them. Thanks Andrea for coloring my belly, obviously my belly is not that colorful (well it is covered with blue veins :)

It sucks!

I finally have a vacuum that sucks! I had the WORST vacuum you could imagine. It was a bag less dirt devil that I bought about 6 months ago from Home Depot for about $80. It worked for a little while and then it just kept getting clogged and wouldn't suck. My van is always dirty and being prego and nesting I just couldn't stand to bring a new baby home in a dirty car, so I ordered a new vacuum (NOT a dirt devil - a bagged hoover). I don't know what it was. I didn't like opening the dust canister and poof you would see a poof of all the dirt you vacuumed that week, yuck. Well now I finally have a vacuum that sucks! I guess I can vacuum out my car so I can bring home my baby (in 5 days!)

I have been feeling great and really look forward to Friday. It is amazing that I have a full term baby inside me! I will post pictures of the other kids when they were born. Amazing.
