I'm Special!

"Mom, you are special because you had a baby!"

I am special because . . .

I have a husband who thinks it's fun to get his "dress-up clothes" on for a c-section.

And he's a fabulous diaper changer!

I got sparkly flowers from my girls and mom!

My mom makes the perfect lunches.  My girls think they're "Upper Crust" perfection so they stuck a toothpick in the sandwich.  Not to mention that my awesome mom was here off and on for three weeks to help us make it through this adventure!

I have a catheter!  =)

(This is an edited version--no urine visable!) 

And I am thankful because it took away the pain!

The chance to write 24 thank-you notes to amazing people in Oakley who love us!  The first weekend Charity asked, "Why do people keep bringing us treats and presents?"  Now she says, "I think more people will bring us treats!" and this afternoon, "See, I told you!"  We have felt very loved to have so many meals, treats, and cute new clothes and blankets for Mollie!

I have another little girl!  Yea! 

And to top it off, she likes to cuddle and sleep!

And that makes me special!

Here she is again

Allie made her a tutu made out of tool and of course she took pictures.

Cute!

Dad and Mollie.

Charity and Mollie.

We have so much fun with her and are so grateful that she is finally here!

Mollie Ann McClure

On last Sunday we finally decided to name her Mollie Ann McClure! It was between Mollie and Annie. Our votes were split in half, then Dad said that "it is going to be Mollie. "

She is such a great baby. It has been really nice!

Precious!

Game day

Kit and Allie got her dressed and took pictures. It is her first BYU football game day!! There is a lot more pictures, but here is a few.

It's a ...

Girl!!!

7 lbs and 2 oz, 19 in. , born at 8:33 a.m., no name yet but we have a big list of names so don't worry we will get it soon,(hopefully) & the cutest baby ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Predictions

We always do our family predictions, but we didn't send out a formal email.  It's not too late though unless that contraction I just had is a real one.  You get points depending on which things you have right and the winner might get a prize.  (The prize could just be a congratulations email so don't expect too much.) So comment if you'd like.  The seminary kids filled out theirs and as always had some interesting guesses and names.  And I'm already the biggest loser (I always pick random things) unless it's a girl and then I might come out okay.  Or if we really do name it Jimmer!  =)  Good luck guessing!

**Hint:  In four days and 11 hours we'll for sure have a baby here!  (See, it's not as much fun when we do it this close and it's already scheduled.)

First Day!

Another first day!  And a big one for the oldest!

7th grade!

Which means Jr./Sr. High School!  After being in one building for K-6, this is a big change.  But she was very excited and ready.  A little weird to see her walk in those doors where I watched from our front room window for years as the "big kids" walked in.  Yikes!  But I think she'll love it and it's time.  The funniest thing is that I thought I'd never even have a kindergartener in school here and now I have a 7th grader.  Life never goes as planned, but aren't we glad!!!

4th grade!

And very ready for a set schedule and things to do at all hours of the day and night!  And it's only one week until dance and piano starts so she can be really busy again and therefore very happy!

3rd Grade

She has one of the coolest teachers ever and her best friends are in her class and she had a new zebra striped shirt to wear today, so life is perfect.

Now what do Charity and I do?  We are a little lost this morning.  You can only play Candyland and Hi-Ho Cherry-O for so long (especially being 8 1/2 months pregnant and sitting on the floor).  And there will be no preschool this year because there weren't enough kids signed up.  Of course, we only have to find something to do for a week and then Baby Jimmer will occupy all our time!  =)  Maybe we should get ready for a baby!  Or we'll just go have a nap (since the sisters were very anxious this morning and were up and showering at 6!)!
