Claire's Hair

Everyone has been asking about her hair. She does not have as much as the other kids did when they were born.

Claire Emilyne Lankford

She finally arrived ... 9 pounds 10 ounces and 18 inches long.

So Excited

Well we are all excited around here for the new baby but especially Grace. She can't wait to have a little sister. She is going to be my little helper. Grandpa is coming today to document everything and then the baby will be here in just a few more days! I know I will be tired but at least I will be able to bend over, which is something I have taken for granted.

Good Day

Well yesterday was a wonderful day, the kids and Adam made me breakfast and Adam and I got to go out to eat just us, which is always a rare treat! But I think the best present of all was how proud I feel of my kids when they accomplish something that is hard or new for them. Here are a couple videos of what we worked on yesterday. Or rather, what Adam worked on with the kids while I watched!

March 31st

Well the doctor has said March 31st is probably going to be the big day for this baby to arrive. I have noticed that 2 people voted for 9.5 lbs and I am starting to agree! I am measuring big and so far our babies have just gotten bigger, 7 lbs. 3 oz, 8 lbs. 11 oz, and 9 lbs. 2 oz. The doctor says this does not mean this baby will be bigger but I don't know. We will see. At least my labor and deliveries have been pretty easy compared to some. So we are on the countdown, 16 days to go.

16 days until...
I can lay down flat
I can eat italian food, and chocolate and spicy for that matter
I can bend over
Complete chaos! Bring it on, I am so ready!

Temples

For those of you who would like to be more correctly informed about temples in our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, here is video put together by our church talking about them.

Last Month

Well it is finally the 5th of March which means I only have one month left until this baby arrives. Yay! We are getting ready and the kids are so excited. We talk all the time about what she will look like, will she have tons of hair like the other kids, will she have colic like Grace, etc. Liam is constantly talking about the baby in mommy's tummy, I hope he doesn't freak out when she comes out and is actually here and he realizes she won't go back in! We might be a little crazy for having this baby but we are already crazy so what's a little more?
