Extra Shots

Here are some photos from my in-laws camera that were taken at the hospital.

My newborn clothes are too big for me. I'm falling right out of my pants.

Happy Birthday

BIG Sneeze

My 1st Sponge bath.











Clean and happy in my mom's arms.






Me and my dad.



This bascinet was orignally mine as an infant, some 30 years ago. My parents stored it in their garage and save it in perfect condition for our little girl. The difference is that when I was in it, it was yellow... 70's yellow. My mom redid it and made it beautiful!

Are you tired of looking at her yet? Too bad. There will be lots more in the future. :)

Welcome...

Born Friday Aprli 20th at 11:31 pm. She was 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 19 3/4 inches long.

Click on this site and see some photos the hospital provided. Soon I will post some that we have taken... It is a wonderful adjustment, but an adustment. :)

To Be or Not To Be

Rather....

To be induced or not to be induced...

Yup, we are still awaiting the arrival of Isabelle. I am currently on strict bed rest, based on some tests results that weren't the best, but still ok. Yesterday, a third round of tests were done, and though they looked better, my doctor thought it wise to induce. We made the appointment for midnight last night... Called to confirm and were told that L and D (Labor and Delivery) was completely packed and unless we were an emergency induction that we would have to wait. Our doctor said that waiting a day or two more would be ok, however until delivery day, we get to run up to Bellevue every day for more tests, just to be on the safe side.

Other then that, there isn't much news on this homefront, except that bed rest stinks.... It really does. Can't do a darn thing. Not my cup of tea! All I have is a book, that is almost done, the TV (there is nothing on during the day), the phone (which no one calls - everyone is working), and my computer (which I can receive emails and IM, however again, people work). Oh well... The health of this little one is most important so I am sitting here, relaxing :)

Of course, I will keep you updated with how things are progressing. I can see from the window it is a beautiful day. GO AND ENJOY IT!!!

Coaching

Being a coach is probably one of the most wonderful things to do in the world. And the best thing to coach is Gymnastics... and the beam :) You get to see the kids on a totally different level / zone then in the classroom.

Districts is coming up. That is where all the school's top varsity girls compete together in one LONG night. All the meets that lead up to districts are like an extra practice for the girls. So far, our girls are in second, only having been beat once and that was by 1.1 points. Ridiculously close.

Go into a handstand :)

Now this is one of our All -Around girls, which means she does all the apparatus'. Here she is vaulting... I tried to get a couple of shots of her as she was going over the vault, however she went so fast each time, that I always caught her 'floating' in the air.

Elk

Yes, there are already many photos of ELK on this blog, however, none this close to our back deck and none taken with our new camera... plus there was a small herd of about 15 elk, including baby elk.

Look at all those white behinds :)

March Snow

Wasn't this the craziest start of the year and all the way until March. Where we live, we got 6-7 inches of snow in the middle of March, and in one night! It was so beautiful, that we had to get some early morning shots.
