beautiful girl

So I had a woman in our ward come over and take these pictures. I couldn't decide which ones I liked best so I decided to just post a bunch. What can I say I think I have the cutest kids in the world!!!

My baby girl

Just thought it was time to put some more pictures of her up. I promise that I will keep them coming. Isn't she beautiful, I swear I am not bias!

late night

So Jax is into repeating everything he hears or sees. Don't know who he saw having a rough morning but he decided to have one himself!!

2 Weeks

We just had our 2 week appointment and according to the doctor Emry is perfect! She has been a good baby so far, just eating and sleeping (well at least sleeping during the day). We are still working on the sleeping longer at night thing. She was originally 6 lbs 10 ou, at her 1 week she was 6 lbs 8 ou, and now at her 2 week she is 7 lbs 6 ou. She is just gaining weight like mad!

Proceed with caution

So, I've had a few requests to hear the birth story so if you are squimish proceed of your own accord. Wednesday James was able to get off of work a little early and we were sitting in the family room watching T.V. It was around 5pm and all the sudden I felt a pop and then a gush. I was affraid of what was going on so I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. I then found out that I was leaking blood. I then had James get me my phone so I could call my Dr. where they told me to go to the hospital. My due date was never really sure, originally it was the 16th, but then it got changed to the 30th. So, according to the most recent change I was only 35 weeks and 4 days along. Once I got to the hospital they did an ultra-sound and determined that I had a pretty serious placental abruption. Basically there was a good size part of the placenta was torn from the uterus wall and there was a large clott form as well as some heavy bleeding. Since there was a high risk that the placenta could tear completly away from the wall the Dr. started to move fast. I really wanted a vag birth but because of the risk c-section was a high probability. Fortunately I was progressing fast enough that we were able to just sit back and let nature take it's course. By 11:00 I was 6cm, and then as of 11:05pm I was 10cm and ready to go. So... 3 contractions and 9 pushes later Emry was born. She immediatley started sucking on her hand, and was a healthy 6 lbs 10 ounces. So even though it was early and a little high stress everything turned out perfectly.

Emry is Bourne

Amber had a little scare prior to delivery but all went well and Amber did GREAT!

Emry was born at 11:35 pm 4-29-09 at six pounds 10 ounces 19 inches long. A beautiful little girl.

Easter

Our Easter fun!

Best of Times, Worst of Times

Jax loves to play outside. He will wander around for hours out there. He and Dozer just kinda follow eachother around. They are like best buds and have the best of times. But unfortunately like with all of life everything has its opposite. So while they have had the best of times, recently they had the worst of times. Dozer, for some unknown reason, nipped at Jaxon and broke skin. It about gave me a heart attack!!! So now the fate of our little family is unknown. We have had Dozer since he was a puppy and since we were newly weds, and now it looks like he will have to find a new family without kids (especially since ours is expanding and will continue to expand). It is just so sad because Dozer is about the melowist (don't know if thats a word) dog I know! Sniff, sniff!
