Here are pictures of our newest addition:

It's a boy!

I know Dallin sent out an email, but he doesn't have email to everyone I know. I thought I'd get on and give you the baby update. We have another boy! His name is McKay Henry. He was 6 lbs. 1 1/2 oz. and 19 in. He had the cord around his neck 5 times -- which makes me very grateful that I opted for a repeat c-section with baby #2. We are doing well -- and am very tired. I will post pictures on our blog soon.

weekend in review

Dallin decided it was time he took charge and made an appointment for Addie to get her first hair cut. I've been dragging my feet about it because I was so afraid that if we cut off her curls they'd never come back. :( But it needed to be done because it was looking really thin and straggly on the bottom.

The wife of Dallin's principal works at the beauty college in town so on Thursday he called her and asked for a recommendation on who would do the best job on Addie's hair. Then we called and made an appointment with that girl. I thought she did a very nice job.

We took a trip to Dolliver Memorial State Park on Saturday. The kids thought it was great to throw rocks in this creek. The creek feeds right into the Des Moines river -- not too far from where we were here.

This is the best way to enjoy watering the lawn!

mark your calendars

It's official. My c-section date has been moved to June 18. That's only 2 1/2 weeks away! I can't believe it's already here. I feel like I've pregnant forever, but at the same time, it feels as if the months have just flown by! I'm nervous about wrestling with 3 children, but I am more than ready to see my toes again, bend down without feeling a baby in the way, roll over without having to swing my entire body over...you get the idea. I'm ready to have my body back!
