Life is beautiful



I'm sitting here blogging with my beautiful baby in my lap, grateful and thankful for a safe delivery and a beautiful, healthy baby girl!

Baby Elyce Marie was born on Thursday morning, April 8th. Everything went well, and she's just the most amazing little thing!

And yes. We changed her name.

The day before she was born.

That's just how we roll.

We're unbelievably in love with this baby girl. We're going to need some time to adjust to having so many kids- but I know we'll figure it out. We've been so blessed!

April Showers

It's April! And it's showering and snowing just to prove that it's really spring. My mom is here now, and we're having a fun visit with her as well as with Jessica and the boys! It's been so good to get to see those sweet nephews of mine. They are so cute and sweet!


On Wednesday I had a regular check up at the doctor's, and my blood pressure was high. I had pre-eclampsia with my oldest, so after checking it several times at the office the doctor sent me over to Labor and Delivery (again) for monitoring and the possibility of induction. I am seriously getting tired of checking in and out of Labor and Delivery! I spent a couple of hours at the hospital and after laying down and resting my pressure went down so I was able to come home. However, they believe I have gestational hypertension which is likely to turn into pre-eclampsia, so I am on bedrest to keep my blood pressure down. I was actually kind of bummed, because if I have to be lazy, I'd like to at least have a baby to hold! But instead, I get to spend the last few days of my pregnancy in bed. Not a great way to make the time go by quickly. But, at least it means I'll be well rested for when baby girl arrives!
In the meantime, we are praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby!
