"You are so pretty when you smile"

Look at that big smile! It's not her first smile but the first on camera! She's such a happy girl and as babies go she's not that fussy. She only cries when she is hungry or big brother dropped something on her. (I have to watch him closely.) Can you believe that she is already a month and a half?! I can't! The next milestone is more of a contest in my family. In my tribe if you make a baby laugh for the first time you have to throw a party. We carried on the tradition. I've been watching really closely who will make her laugh. We let both sides of the family know and the race is on!

Today Cassie turned one month old. She's been such a joy to have and seems to bring out the best in her brother Deven.

More pictures to come....

week 37 and 5 days!

Pretty soon the stork will be arriving and we will get to hold our baby girl! It's down to the wire! We've been praying, hoping and praying that the baby will stay in longer. She's been trying to come for the past 3 weeks! I keep telling her that we're not ready for her! There is so much to do! I feel so unprepared and I haven't had a baby shower for her. I have less than 1 week's worth of clothes for her. Everything seems to be going on between here and when she comes. I think we've come to the conclusion that we will have a baby shower after she is born. We went to the doctor last week and he told us that he does not want me to go to my due date (Feb 23). I had a c-section with my last baby and we wanted to try V-BAC. Do you know how hard it is to find a doctor who is willing to do that? He is out of town this week and he told us unless I want to have another c-section I have to wait for the week of valentines. The reason he doesn't want me to go to my due date is because he's afraid of having my "seam" burst. The baby will have to be induced if she doesn't come before the 16. I'm hoping that I will go into labor between the 14 and the 16. It's all up in the air and very scary!
