Baby Eli!

He's here everyone! Finally on Monday November 8th 2010 at 3:18pm our little Eli came into this world! I was so ready for him to arrive. The day couldn't have gone smoother. We walked into the IMC hospital at 7:15am to be induced and I arrived to find my personal nurse for the day already setting my room up. Our friend Susan Lake came in on her day off to help with the delivery. She was awesome! She introduced me to lime ice which I was so excited about considering I was so thirsty. I had Pitossin administered at 8:30am, my water was broken at 11:45 and Eli came at 3:18pm. He is the cutest little guy. He hardly cries, has lots of hair and looks like a Gooch. Go figure! I am so grateful that everything went well. He weighed in at 8 lbs 12 oz. and 21 inches long. Needless to say, we have big babies! I was so elated that I didn't even care and have been recovering nicely! We are now a table for 7!

Halloween!

So I know that it's been a while since I've posted but I'm back and ready to show off the kiddos again! We had a really low key Halloween this year which was perfect for me! We had the usual school parade and school parties. I asked Dave go around with the girls this year because let's face it, I'm huge and would have not enjoyed the Trick or Treating walk. Anna decided to be Cinderella this year, Sara was a punk-rock girl, Brinton was the old man from UP and Braeden went as a princess for his girl-boy party!!! EEEEK! We have a son who is hanging out with girls! We are in trouble! But the kids all had a great weekend and have so much candy we don't know what to do! Also, according to Dave, the bottom picture is what Braeden would look like as a little girl which is just like me apparantly!!! So cute!
