Water Day

Maci had a water day at her preschool on Tuesday after we brought Blake home. Since Alan is home with us for a couple of weeks, he took Payton and they went to watch. Once her water day was over, they came home and had a water day of their own in our back yard. Alan bought the girls a good ole fashion slip'n'slide. He even demonstrated proper slip'n'slide technique to get them started. Blake and I sat in the shade and watched them all three have a ball! It was a lot of fun!

Introducing Blake Alan Meers

Blake Alan Meers made his grand appearance on May 6, 2010 at 1:22 PM. He weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz. He is 20 1/4 inches long. We got to bring home our very healthy, adorable baby boy on Saturday and have been snuggling with him every moment of every day since then. Alan and I cannot get over how incredibly blessed we are. We are loving our time together as a family of five! Alan has two weeks off to spend bonding and loving on our sweet family. I'm going to hate it when he has to go back to work. So far, Blake is a very easy baby. You can hardly hear him breath much less make any other sounds. At 6 days old, that is sure to change, but we are loving these sleepy snugly days. Please enjoy some pictures of our newest addition. We couldn't be more proud!

Long Time, No Post

Well, Spring is in full swing and my last post was in December. Not keeping up with this a much as I used to. Facebook is just so much faster and easier, so I forget to add anything to the blog. Oh well. We are having a wonderful spring! The girls got a new playset in the backyard, and Alan did a lot of beautiful landscaping back there, so we have spent all our time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Payton stays for hours at a time out back, but Maci has gotten the "I'm bored" thing down. Bored? Its a kid's world back there, how on earth can you get bored...you're 5, not 15! Anyway, I guess it is getting close to time for her to be in school 5 days a week to keep her from getting "bored." Ha!

I had my 36 week check up yesterday. We got to see an ultrasound and Blake is doing his job. We were thinking he was breech, so it was a wonderful surprise to hear that he's exactly where he is supposed to be! I am even dilated a little, which I never was with the girls until delivery time, so that was fun to hear. I guess those nasty contractions are actually good for something :) I am scheduled to be induced on May 6th if he does not come before then. But, anytime after next Tuesday is good with me! It still amazes me that the little guy is still with us and is healthy and safe. Its been a long pregnancy, but next week we will be considered full term. What a blessing! God has been so good to us! I can't wait to get this little one out here and see his sweet face.
