Babies!!!

I'm an aunt again! I'm a very proud aunt! I love it when other people have children for me! :)

Last week, one sister in law, Amber, was giving me my baby niece, Rose (Brian & Ambers baby). Born 2-25-09 at 8:30pm weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. and 18.5 in. long! Here are some pictures of meeting Rose when she was 48 hours old! I had to fight with Grace to get to hold Rose!

She is a perfect beautiful little girl! We love havng her with us now!

Meanwhile my other sister in law, Noelle, was in the hospital trying to keep her baby girl in! She began having pre-term labor at 22 weeks. She spent a night in the hospital and was sent home and given strict bed rest instructions. She loved the hospital so much she decided to have more labor pains and ended up back in the hospital 3 days later. We think she was just jealous of Amber getting a lot of attention for having a baby, and wanted to compete. Regarless of the reason, she's been in the hospital for 2 weeks. She is currently 24 week and may be there until she is 32 weeks, or they may let her go home at 25 weeks, but remain on very strict bed rest instructions. Noelle has a great attitude, willing to do whatever it takes to get Gaby here safely and healthy. Rachel is 17 months old and has been spending more time with my Mom and random people from the ward. We have also been privledged to keep Rachel for a few days each week to help lessen the burden on those in Louisville and give Rachel some familiarity and stability with family! We love having her with us. Here are a few pictures of our adventures with Rachel, and visiting Noelle in the hospital!
