And we're having...

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!

Congrats Martha! (and the rest of the fam!) That's awesome! It'll be fun to have 3 girls - Sisters! Tons of fun. I love having ultrasounds to see the kids. It makes it more real and exciting.

How fun! Another CUTE girl. As for your due date, I have a neighbor girl born on Halloween. She will be 4. She asks everyone, "what are you going to dress up as on your birthday?" it's really quite cute and I'm sure she loves it and thinks it's all for her.

Congratulations Martha!! That is really exciting. It seems like we have been meeting lots of people here in Iowa that have all girls or all boys in their family. Girls are a lot of fun...they will always have each other.

I am thrilled for you. And I hope you are feeling better.

Yea!! Soo exciting! I was going to comment that you of all people should be used to a house of girls, or that you might need to have 7 if you want a boy... but apparently I'm not at all original after reading other comments... so I'll end by saying how lucky you are and hoping that you are staying cool through these summer months! Let us know next time you are up to SLC, I'd love to get together!

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

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
