Going pink (again)

By Martha -
In honor of our upcoming BABY GIRL, we're going pink!! We just had the ultrasound today and are very excited, but very surprised. Everyone, including Adam and me, totally thought this one was a boy. But we got a pretty good look and she's all girl. I'm excited for Mini to have a friend, to be able to use the same clothes, and to get matching dresses for them! More than anything I'm glad that she's healthy as far as we can tell.

As for a holiday update, we have had a great time spending time with both of our families (consequently getting to know I-15 from Provo to Salt Lake even better). It's always fun to have Adam's parents here from Denmark since we don't get to see them very much. We did Christmas Eve with them and enjoyed the Danish traditional dinner (pork roast, caramelized potatoes, and red cabbage), dessert (an almond pudding with cherry dressing--I love it!), and dancing around the Christmas tree.



This was what Christmas morning looked like at our apartment. Marian got a toddler bed and a cute set of toys for her doll/doggies. I think Adam and I were way more excited than she was! She has loved having a stroller, pack'n'play, and swing/high chair for her dogs.


Adam and I also celebrated our 3rd anniversary on December 30th with dinner at Red Robin and bowling. Here are the action shots. I won the first game but Adam wasted me the second.

Finally, this is the super-hero dress up party Adam instigated on New Years Eve. I just love how all the boys are super-heroes and Marian is cradling the doll--girls and boys are so different!!

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope they were great for you!

I'm so excited for you guys! Love it! It looks like santa did a great job figuring out what Marian would like for Christmas. I'll have to call you soon. Hope all is going well.

Congrats on another girl! You'll be like us with a lot of hormones in the house and Adam will be out numbered by girls. He will be able to relate to Nate very well.

No worries, no big announcement yet! We just put the countdown on there to be subtle until we find out what we are having, which is on the 19th. Then I'll do something a little more obvious. Congrats on having a girl. I loved the matching dresses comment, something that was fun and then torture as we got older, yet we can't wait to do it as moms.

When in the course of human biological events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the umbilical bands which have connected her with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I, the father, should declare the statistics and condition of such individuals so separated....... so here is my post: Sunday morning: 0330: Martha, who has been contracting, wakes Adam. 0330: Adam, who is happy to hear that contractions are coming, is nevertheless content to lie in bed for a little longer. 0330-0350: Adam and Martha time contractions at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes apart. 0400: Contractions increasing in strength. 0410: Joe arrives to watch Marian. 0415: Martha is not enjoying contractions which are strong and consistent by now. 0416: Joe's expression shows that he's never seen a woman in labor. 0420: Adam and Martha leav

Hello world!

Look at me, doing a blog post and joining Facebook in the same week! I guess it's time for an update since it's only been four months. I'll start with Liv. I can't believe she's already 4+ months old! She is doing great! I feel so blessed that she is so healthy and developing perfectly so far. In the last week she has started rolling over (multiple times so she ends up far away from where I put her) and grabbing things. She has also decided she doesn't like nursing from mommy. :( We'll see how long I can stand pumping... Usually she is a happy little person, but in the last two weeks she has screamed for an hour+ straight while being babysat (sorry Ang and Anne-Marie!). What a stinker! I told Adam she could write a book called, "How to Lose Friends and Frustrate People." At least she's good for me. Here are some recent pictures. She gets lots of attention from her adoring older sisters. Sometimes she's painfully aware that being the thir

And we're having...

By Martha -
another GIRL!!! We are really excited. She was so cute on the ultrasound--my favorite part was her little foot (measuring 3.5 cm right now). She wasn't doing flips and cartwheels like Mini was on her ultrasound so maybe she'll be a little mellower, more like Emmy. Most importantly, she looks healthy and her growth is right on. The only disappointment is that they didn't move my due date up at all. I was hoping to be moved up a week--away from Halloween. That's OK. The tech said she's actually measuring for November 1 so maybe I'll try to hold out for November 2 or 3. Seeing her made me so excited to get to meet her! As much as I don't love being pregnant, I'm so excited to have another little bundle to hold!
