Yeah, our sweet baby girl is here and healthy! We are so thrilled to announce that Gwen Malia decided to make her debut on Thursday, January 19th  at 5:16pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 inches long. She was born at 37 weeks gestation, which is absolutely amazing. We were finally able to experience the joy of bringing a child into this world. There are words to describe how grateful Jeff and I were to be able to experience the delivery of a healthy baby! Vann is thrilled to have his baby sister here and has been adjusting really well. We want to thank all of you for the prayers you have sent to us over the course of this pregnancy...we did it!!!

Merry Christmas to all of our Family and Friends! We are having a great time with Popi Rod and Grandma Neesie. I am not sure if Vann is going to let Popi leave...he has to be playing with him at all times! We are looking forward adding Baby Gwen to our crew in just over a month. We have a C-section scheduled for February 1, 2012...if she can hold off until then. Each additional week we get through is a blessing!

Happy 3rd Birthday Vann! I made sure to get a lot of laying down time in so I could attend his party! 


Here are some pictures from his party this weekend and from opening presents today!

Hi!
I know it has been awhile, but I have been trying to lay low lately. Jeff has been a huge help and we are just trying to make life as easy as possible. We have hit a milestone today and are officially 30 weeks, yeah! 

Vann has been great, we are happy to announce that he is potty trained. It only took him about a week and we are so proud of him. We can't believe he is going to be 3 in a couple of weeks:) He has been helping Jeff out a lot and even wanted to help pick up leaves the other day!

Things here are going great. The weather is starting to get a little chilly, so we thought we better get out and take some pictures before the snow hits the ground. Vann is growing up so fast...we can't believe that he is going to be 3 next month. He absolutely adores Jeff...he wants to be just like him:) We are in our 27 week of pregnancy with Baby Gwen, so we are pretty thrilled about that.

Happy Halloween! Vann was so excited this year to go trick-or-treating. He was even more excited because Jeff was going to dress up as Spiderman with him. Vann did great and got lots of candy!

Update: We have officially made it to 26 weeks with this pregnancy, yeah!!! So far Baby Gwen is cooperating and every thing looks good. We continue to see my Dr. every 2 weeks. Vann is pretty excited for Baby Gwen to get it, we just aren't ready yet!
