Christmas time!

So you'd think since I have a new baby I would have a zillion pictures of her first Christmas...nope!  My camera broke so I had to use other families camera's so this is all I have.  Oh well, we LOVE Cjristmas time and loved being with the family!

Christmas morning at my parents, the kids were dying to go downstairs to see all the presents!

Oh the joy of a sleeping baby!

We are so loving little Delanie, so far she is very good.  Tyler is surprised he doesn't hear her cry while he sleeps.  Brinley takes any chance she can get to hold her, and is even trying to pick her up now...yikes!  So life has been let's say bliss during this last week.  The kids were at Grandma and Grandpa Huefner's and Matt was off for the week.  Yesterday was my first day as a real mom of three.  Both Tyler and Brinley had school, and Matt had a big thing going on at work which made him not return home until 11:30pm, and of course Delanie wanted to test me by crying from 6pm until 11pm.  So after doing homework, dinner, baths, a family home evening craft that I promised the kids and putting them to bed-four times, I was happy to call it a day! :)

How come we don't look that cute sleeping?

How happy is she?

Our family has grown by two feet...

Sweet Delanie Elisabeth blessed our family on November 30 at 10:31am!  This delivery was a little different than my last two babies.  To make a long story short, I went in the Sunday before to be induced, and after spending the entire day there on pitocin and other drugs the induction failed and I left with no baby in my arms and tears in my eyes. :( Boo hoo.  So the next Saturday I had some signs of labor which I ignored but later that night called the hospital just to be sure I wasn't in labor, they talked me into going in to be checked and I never left!  At 9am the next morning the Dr. broke my water and at 10:31am she was here!  She is darling, with dark hair (which I love and really hope it stays) and a round chubby face.  Tyler and Brinley weren't too sure about her in the beginning (Brinley basically wanted nothing to do with the baby or me), but by the next day they were very excited to see her and were fighting over who gets to feed her.  We are all doing great, a bit tired but very excited to have this sweet angel in our family.

Here she is, 2 days old!
