Baby Stott #3

she is finally here
Grace ???

Born April 30 at 1:33pm
5lbs and 11.5 oz
18 inches long

She is so tiny, she looks like a doll. I am loving her hair. Jacob and Merry are so excited- Jacob told me she looked really small but if she ate her carrots maybe she would grow big like him.

More picts to come

New Birthday

So I went to the Dr. today and my c-section is now moved to tomorrow (april 30)- so much for my count down. I'm totally unprepared because I thought I had 1 more week.

Out of the funk

After a few days of self pity- I am back to feeling normal again- thanks for all the comments.

Instead of cleaning out my cupboards I went to hobby lobby and got some new beads to make jewelry.  After a few diet dr. peppers, twizzlers and twisting wire I felt much better.
and here is an update of what is flowering this week in my garden

So I have officially stopped the count down now.

I actually think I am not ready for this baby to come yet and it is just simply way too soon.

so it is going to have to wait.

Here is a list of why the baby can't come yet.

1. This is the 1st baby I have had since my mom passed away, I think I am getting sadder as I get closer to the actual date that she won't be here

2. Name conflict- my vote is for Grace- in fact I have already hung it on the wall. We will be limited to names we can spell with Grace rearranged. Acre or Ager or cager just don't work for me.

3. Middle name conflict- well not so much a conflict as I have no good ideas when it comes to middle names so any suggestion would be appreciated.

4. I haven't cleaned out all my cupboards yet.

5. the sleepless nights I know I am in for without the aid of caffeine

Now that I know that I am going to be fat forever because this baby simply can't come yet, I think I will go lay on the couch, watch hgtv and eat cookies.

Edit to previous

Sorry- I was writing that post at 1:00am because I couldn't sleep - apparently I am not that coherent because I forgot to mention that those were pictures of Jacob and Merry as babies. We are wondering if we will get the brown baby version or the pink baby version this time.
