Took a few pics this morning with bets and ebs :0
We hope that Betty will have a wonderful trip down under and she will be missed by us all.

Bye to Betty :(

took these few of the little stinker this morning. She was so nice and awake. Things are going good. i feel quite good although feels like i'm nursing non stop but that's all part and parcel i guess. She's been really good for me too. giving me 5 hours every night so far. she's such a doll. okay i'm kind of bias. I am missing the other kids but i'd better enjoy my time!!

Announcing Ebany Anne

Announcing Ebany Anne!! The Lord in His goodness as given us a new and precious gift of a baby girl!! It is truly a miracle!! Everything went well! and very fast. I went in to the hospital to get induced with cloderma. Nothing happed so went to sleep for a while and then at about 2:00AM i felt things starting. Nothing painful but could feel it. By 2:45 they were getting stronger so got gerry to get the nurse. I think i had 3 really strong contractions and then was on the bed and had her at 3:01am. Amazing. doctor didn't make it and he even slept in the hospital!!! Now if i look at her I can't believe she was inside me. God is tuly GREAT!!
