My Big Crawling Girl!

Look out world! Here she comes! Ready or not!

This is Ella this afternoon. She has known how to crawl for a few weeks but has only just discovered that if she crawls it will get her some where! Yesterday was the first time she even ventured off the carpet mat in the lounge... Now, today, she is turbo baby! Nothing seems to be able to stop her!! She goes into every room and gets into EVERYTHING!! And here I was hopping she might be the calm tame one since she was a docile baby- WRONG! With a brother and sister like hers how can she not be a little cyclone too! *SIGH* Cyclone or not - they all have character and big hearts!! I love them all dearly and wouldn't change them for anything!

BABY # 4

What do you think of this pic??

Kaleb took it! I KNOW!!! How fantastic is it?? He did a really great job in my opinion! I am not actually as big as the picture portrays but that is ok :) you all get the idea! I'm now 22 weeks I think??? I keep loosing track... SHAME!!! He took it this morning when he got hold of the camera - cheeky thing! But its all good! I've been trying to get a pic of my tum for ages... yet have been putting it off coz I can never get one I like! Well! I like this one!!

Again...

Just to keep everyone up to date, I'm pregnant again... Have been for a while ;) but keep forgetting to update the blog.

I'm about 22 weeks now and we have discovered that the baby is a little girl! That will be three girls and one boy!! The great thing about having another girl is that I don't have to buy any new clothes! I have EVERYTHING I need already and it's all in the right season too! She is due on the 10th of July - yes... that is 8 days after Ella's first birthday :P... What timing!! We are excited! Joe and I are having some difficulty with the name though... He likes things that I don't a visa versa. But isn't that always the way??

She's ALIVE!

This is a short flick of my girls! Awww! They are so sweet! ^_^ Its mainly to show those of you who have not been blessed to see Ella as yet!

Newbe!!

WELCOME ELLA LOUISE GUY!

So... What does every one think?? I personally am in love!!

Wanna hear the baby story?? If not then don't read the rest of this post :) If you do keep your eyes where they are!

Little Ella Louise arrived at 12:43am on Thursday morning. She is 6pound 11ounces and is a great feeder and poos alot!

I was on Facebook at about 7:15 and was pumping (trying to pump my milk) away for about 5mins (trying to encourage labor - bad move!)
I heard this big as *POP* and knew my waters just busted... Nothing was coming out yet... but I knew. I didn't want to move coz I was worried of gushing all over the new carpet (silly I know)!
My Joe was having a mini fit... he didn't want to deliver the baby at all much less at home on his own!!! He calmly (as calmly as one can in this type of situation) got the kids into the car and we went off to the hospital - I "had" a reputation of having 30 min labors and we were 30 mins away from the hospital, so we had to get there... Everyone at the hospital was ready for us to get there with baby in hand... but unfortunately it was just Joe and i who strolled up the ramp to the hospital and no baby...

A friend took the kids for us. She came to get them from the hospital and strangely she brought the Relief Society President with her!! Both their families were having dinner!! How funny!!

It was almost 8pm - BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING!! My contractions were irregular - VERY irregular. Soft tightinings of the tummy... then uncomfortable pain then HARD CORE nasty as pain! They were not going to send me home coz we lived to far away and because my waters - which were dribbling out green, meaning baby had pooed inside and was in a little distress- had already broken. Yet they were not too worried. I was though!! I still had to get this baby out!! That meant pushing!! CRAP! What had I done!! Why did I want labor to come on so soon????
At about 12am my contractions started to get NASTY. Sat in a hot shower that did squat all to help with the pain and got stuck in there wanting to push!
Midwife told me not to push till she had done an internal! WTH??? NOT PUSH!!! (This woman had obviously not had a baby!) She told me to get onto the bed and lie down so she could see what was going on. NOT COOL LADY! After she poked me I got onto my knees to wait... Another contraction came hard and fast. I didn't want to push but I couldn't help it! I had too... Mid scream and push MID WIFE told me to stop pushing again coz she was alone and wanted someone else there with her! She asked my DH to go and call someone - I WAS MID PUSH AND SHE WANTED ME TO LET GO OF HIS HAND!!! WTH was she thinking??
ANYWAYS... Ella literally slipped in to the world less than a few mins after that...
I was so tired... But so glad and felt so blessed to have my little girl safe, healthy and OUT!
That damn clotting needle hurt more than the labor almost! I swore when she stabbed me! Didn't even do that during the labor...

Ok... So we are home now... Just so tired but soooo happy...
