Finally the Post is Here!

Our little Emberlynn Shelaine is Adorable. Everyone in our family fell immediately in love with her. When she came out I couldn't help but cry and say, "you look just like my girls." I swear I feel like I am having the same baby over and over again :) I'm totally fine with that cause I think they are each beautiful and their own way.

Well the eventful day started October 23rd (on my birthday) at 10:00 pm. They gave me the petocin, but nothing was happening until 3:30 am October 24th after they broke my water. Then boy did the contractions come and boy do they hurt worse then if I had gone naturally, so I whimped out and called the anastelogist (this is what I want JOn to be, so I told the Doctor to talk him into it.) The anastelogist gave Jon a lesson or two. It was funny because before we told him that Jon was in his 3rd year of Med School the Doctor wouldn't let Jon see what he was doing then after that he practically was having Jon do it all.) Any way I'm not sure we convinced Jon but who knows.

Here I am waiting for little Emberlynn to come.



After 3 Pushes here she is. Emberlynn was born October 24th 7:45 am.

I have to tell you . . .  right before delivery I started getting nervous. I was just praying that everything would go ok. Emberlynn's heart rate would go down to 98. Whereas normal is 145 for Emberlynn. To find out later we had problems with Alix's heart going down in the 40's and even stopped one time. Jon reassured me that Emberlynn would be fine and I that I don't have to worry and she was. This was the worst thing that happened everything was fantastic.

Emberlynn weigh 8 pounds even. WOW! The doctor told me she was shocked. She didn't think the baby was going to be that big. All my babies are that big though 7.9, 8.1 and now 8. The nurse who was giving Emberlynn her first bath asked him if I had Gestational Diabetes (what?) because I had a 8 pound baby. I thought 8 pounds wasn't that big of a deal. It's not and I'm not worried about it. I just thought it was funny.

Emberlynn's middle name is Shelaine. Shelaine is Jon's sister who passed away a few days after she was born because she swallowed some fluid and it was never sucked out of her lungs. She is a special spirit and knowing that we wanted to name Emberlynn after such a sweet choice spirit. I am so grateful for the church and knowing that Families Can be Together Again. I know that Jon's mom will get the chance to raise her during the millennium. I couldn't imagine losing a child a few days after birth. That is another reason why my mother-in-law is such a wonderful person and has such a sweet understanding heart. I believe she too also knows she will see here baby girl Shelaine again. Jon told me tonight that he has thought so much about his sister in the recent days and he has been so grateful that we name Emberlynn after her. I am too.

Meeting the family. Alix wrote you a letter. In the letter it sound that she was beautiful and that she knows Emberlynn will choose the right and listen to her. I think someone likes being the big sister. What do you think?

Addison loves Emberlynn. However would never stay still to get a really good picture until she was placed in front of the television.
We had no problem with Alix posing for many GREAT pictures. 

Jon's oh so comfy bed. NOT! Poor guy he was so tired. Love him though cause he was a great big help. He only stayed the one night. I felt to bad for him to make him stay the other two nights with that bed. So felt bad but I told him not too cause this way he could take care of Emberlynn during the day while I slept and that's what happened. I LOVE YOU JON and Thank You for being such a wonderful Husband and Daddy. YOU'RE THE BEST!

These were the best babysitters ever. Casandra and Brett volunteered again to come down from Salt Lake and watch the girls. They were great. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate! My girls absolutely love you both.

Packing up getting ready to go. Sunday morning by the way. This is Emberlynn's scrubs that I love. Totally forgot to bring my pen to write on them. I made the other girls scrubs up top. You will see more of them when we get our pictures down this week.

Getting in the car.

The girls were so excited to see Emberlynn as you can see.

WELCOME HOME Emberlynn. We love you and we are so blessed to have you in our family.

1 Year Older & Wiser 2!

One year OLDER & WISER too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (uhh) to ME! 

Well it was my birthday on Thursday and boy was it a wonderful one. I love the primary Birthday song up top. I want to believe that I am wiser then I was a year ago but I'm quite not sure. Any way for my birthday I was woken with a beautiful Strawberry Crepes made by my husband. Totally love him for that. Jon had to work a half a day, so I just got a few last minute things around the house done. This year for my birthday the girls gave me imported Limonata, Bath Salts, (and the best part) 3 coupons for 1 hour of Quiet Time. When Jon came home we went to the park and played. Later that evening we went to Green Valley Buffet (Alix always says lets go eat where the bad games are (AKA Casino slots)) with one of our coupons and indulged in plates full of yummy crab. I LOVE CRAB if you didn't know! We then went home and got the kids to bed and waited till 9:15pm and off we went to the Hospital for some more eventful moments :)

Doctor's Appointment Update

Well sorry to break the news but I still haven't had the baby yet. Last night I had a lot of Braxton Hicks in my back that lasted all night long, but they never got stronger and they weren't very consistent, so I wasn't panicking, but thought it might be a good time to pack for the hospital, so I got a few things together. 

At the doctors I found out that I made SOME progress. I am now dilated to a 1.5. She told me after stretching me out (and boy did it hurt) that I am almost a 2. (I'm not sure if I appreciated that part.)

Anyways she scheduled me to be induced on Thursday the 23rd at 10pm. My sister Casandra is coming down from Salt Lake for the weekend to tend my kids. I totally love her for that. The best part is I didn't even have to ask her she just loves doing it.  (I think it's cause she doesn't have any kids of her own yet :)

Well I am beat and I have to hit the sack. The worst is I'm so tired but I can't sleep a wink I am up every half hour. Maybe my body is just getting ready for the next month of no sleep at all. 

My Baby was Showered with Love!

So my wonderful friends Stacia and Chelsea decided to throw me an awesome baby showerthis last tuesday, for Baby Dell #3. It was so much fun and I was so excited that a lot of friends were able to come.

 Dummy me (again I am blaming my pregnancy) forgot my camera and I even had it out. So at the end of the party after everyone left but a few people I started snapping away.

 Stacia had everyone decorate me a onsie and they turned out so cute. I thought that was such a great idea. I had never heard of it before, so any one planning a baby shower keep that in mind. Everyone had fun doing it too. The food there was so delicious too. Chelsea and Stacia are awesome cooks. Everything turned out great and I got some awesome gifts too. Who would of thought Diapers and wipes were the best presents to open up :)

Another BaBy UPDATE

Well yesterday I had another Doctors Appointment. I am still Dilated to a 1 and my cervix is still hard. That really doesn't surprise me cause I am used to hearing that news with the rest of my kids. I once did hear that I was 2 but I think my doctor was just trying to make me feel good about myself. Like I was making some progress. Any the doctor still wanted to induce me Thursday (tomorrow that is), but we decided not too. I am a little tons more excited for the baby to come so I am considering. So if I haven't had the baby by tuesday (my next apt.) I will schedule an induction for Friday. If that's the case I totally can see me having my baby on my birthday where in that case I will have to stop being selfish and let it happen. I think if I was that concerned about it I would of scheduled to have the baby tomorrow but I didn't. Any wish me luck and hope all goes well!

11 more DaYs

I have to make a post today because it's a lucky day today for me. Why? because I have 11 MORE DAYS TILL MY DUE DATE. For those who didn't know me in H.S. my lucky # is 11. For a bit of an update I am dilated to a 1 and my cervix is still hard. My doctor told me she would induce me on the 16th, but I said no thank you. I really like going on my own. It's really exciting. however I might consider being induced later on the following week. But as for the 16th wasn't feeling it! Wish me luck. I can't believe we are in the final days!!!!!! Goodness I better finish getting ready :)

LOOKING FOR A HOUSE?

So my brother Wayne just built and designed this beautiful custom home up in Seven Hills in Las Vegas. It's got all the bells and whistles. I love it. It is so beautiful. He is selling it for 1.9 million. I was able to take pictures for it so I thought I would put it on my blog. If you know any one who would be interested let me know!
