Gwendolynn Autumn is here!

I don't have time to post a formal birth story but I will get to writing that soon! I just wanted to let all of my adoring fans know that I finally have my little girl! She was born 20 Sept at 9:19 pm and stats were 8 lbs 11 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Her APGARS were 9 and 9! She's the joy of all our lives, a sweet baby who hardly cries and sleeps A LOT! Good thing too as I can get a few things done during her power naps!

Anyway I have to go to the commissary (aka on post grocery store) but here are a few pics of my newest little one!

This is me moments before I started pushing....a last belly shot (I had an epidural so yeah I was smiling!) :-)

Here's baby Gwen at about 12 hours old. AWWW!

Here's my darling DH with DD#2 and Gwen

My ham of a son!

And DD #1

Almost Done

Sorry its been awhile since I posted last! I have been trying to get ready for baby #4!!

Let's see...in the world of knitting I finished DD#1's felted slippers. She wanted them all purple so that was easy for me! Here they are:and here's the little princess posing LOL.

I am 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. I am getting induced Wednesday morning! We are excited and nervous to meet the little one. No longer a family of 5 but 6! Wow, I hope and pray God gives us A LOT of patience for 4 kiddos! But that's it, no more suprises as I am getting a tubal right after the birth!!!

On that note, since this is my last pregnancy, I want to remember and "cherish" my body remembering my fertile days. So here's a shot of my waistline. Can you read that measuring tape??

Yes, I am sporting a 42 inch waist!!! LOL WOW! :-)

And here's a wide shot of the whole package:

(don't mind the stylish outfit...I'm still in my pj's!!) Wow so all I can say is either there's a big'un in there or I managed to swallow a watermelon!! ;-)

My MIL is coming Tues night and staying a week to help out. My Mom is fliyng in Wednesday night for the birth. Although I am thinking she might miss it as I have to go in at 6am to be induced and she doesn't come in until 6 at night. :-( I was hoping she could be there...maybe God will torture me with an extremely looong labor or something (hope not!) and she'll be able to be there. Either way, at least I get to see my Ma and she can spend time with the newest grandchild.

I finally finished (well, mostly) the nursery/DD#2's room. I will try to get pix of that sometime this weekend. Man I have a lot to get accomplished and so little time! DD#1 was invited to 2 different b-day parties this weekend so I am shuttling her to those as well as doing some last-minute shopping and cleaning.

Anyway, speaking of that I'd better get going. TTFN

PRESENTS!

So one of my best friends, Allena made me a ton of cooooool gifts. Well, not for me but for the baby. So she put a card in there telling me to take pix as I opened it and here are a few...

Here are some cute red booties and a matching hat:















Here is some purple booties and matching sweater in a lavendar/white sparkly varigated yarn (sooo pretty!) :

Here's a crocheted baby blanket that matches the purple outift! It will be going with me to the hospital for when I take Gwendolynn home! Its soo soft and so pretty!!!

And finally a VERY cool home-made diaper bag! Its denim with striped material for pockets and accents. Too cute! Its huge too so it will come in handy toting 4 kids around!

Thanks soooooo Much Allena I LOVE all of it!!!

**Disclaimer---- I don't care if I look like crap I am 9 months pregnant darn it! LOL
