Babies

This week was a fun one. I went up to Boise on Monday to help my supermom sister Amy with her new baby (#4). It was so fun and her baby is sooo cute!!! It made me excited to have one of my one in 5 months. His name is Russell Kenneth Weaver and he was 8 pounds, 9 ounces, 22 inches long.
He's got a bunch of dark hair which is so fun. Her other two boys have very blonde hair, so this was fun to have something different.My mom was there part of the time too. Amy had the baby Thursday morning and my mom got there Thursday night and left Tuesday (the day after I got there) so we had a fun time visiting. Here's me and my mom and Amy (4 days after she had the baby, she looks great!).
And here's the other kids. This is Grant. He's 2 1/2 and is a lot of fun.
And Brenna (5) and Seth (7). Seth is in 2nd grade and Brenna is in kindergarten. It was fun helping them with their homework and reading and all of that elementary school stuff.
So it was a tiring trip but a fun one. It made me glad that I'm not getting 4 kids at once, but that they usually come one at a time. :) Russell is such a good baby and I'm praying for one like that! He hardly cries and sleeps for hours at a time. I know that's unusual though, so I better not get my hopes up.

Speaking of our baby....we felt he/she kick for the first time on Friday! Jeremy picked me up from the airport and we came home and were just relaxing on our bed and I definitely felt someone nudging me from the inside. So he put his hand there and sure enough, the baby kicked another 3 or 4 times. These were solid punches! That was really exciting. Then Saturday night we were at my sister's choir concert and the baby was kicking a whole bunch throughout the concert. Yea for music! We are pretty excited and are looking forward to finding out if it's a boy or girl!

My first thoughts:
Dang, Russell sure is cute!
I'm so excited for Sarah to be a mommy.
And WHY ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND THAT FLOWER VASE? I can't see your cute belly!
Love you to bits!

Congrats on another nephew! He is cute. And we can't wait to know if you're having a boy or girl. Plus I agree with other posts, I want to see a cute baby belly growing.

SARAH congrats again on being pregnant. I love it so much. And I know it's a girl. Actually, I think it's 60/40 right now. I have good sense about these things so I'll keep you updated on my vibes. Anyway I am so happy for you guys and I love you.

PS I saw all the books you have read this summer and you are crazy. I have only read two since the end of school last year. Ha ha well one and a half.

Sarah thanks so much for helping me. You really were a great help. You got some great pictures of the kids- I am going to have to copy those.
As for comments about your belly- I have news for your friends- she doesn't have one! She is MAYBE showing a little teensy bit.
I am so excited that you are feeling the baby move. That is the best part about being pregnant.

Feeling those first movements is so amazing! I distinctly remember McKay's first movements. We were sitting in church when all of the sudden he just started banging around inside. It was so neat. I'm so happy for you. Give her a little hug for me (he he he). And, for crying out loud, post some pictures of you cute belly! :)
