    Nurse Diana


    This was our delivery nursery, Diana. She did a super job of helping Nicole throughout the birth. She and Noelle hit it off real well, too. Noelle told Diana that she was her "favorite doctor."

    Exodus!

    We've watched our "Discharge Video" and are waiting for Dr. Thompson to come in and check on Nicole (Maile's doctor has already been here). After that we'll start packing the car up to take everyone home.

    Noelle is extremely excited to have a little sister, and she has already tried to breastfeed Maile herself. As you can imagine, Noelle is very intrigued in the whole breastfeeding thing and asks lots of interesting questions. She loves to give her little sister lots of hugs and kisses. She is going to be a great big sister!

    We're at the Hospital!

    The doctor will be coming in soon to break Nicole's water, and to deliver the baby. I'll try and keep people updated. Nicole is doing very well, and is very comfortable (thanks to the epidural)!

    Our Trip to the Hospital


    Last night about 10:00 we went to the hospital because I thought that my water was beginning to break. We had all our bags packed and Noelle was over at Grandma's and Grandpa's house. Before we left for the hospital Mike wanted us to take a picture since we took one before we went to the hospital to have Noelle. This pregnancy I have been feeling like my body is more ready than it was with Noelle sooner to give birth. So I was pretty sure last night was going to be the night. When we got to the hospital they checked to see if my water had broken and it hadn't. :( They hooked me up to a machine to see if I was having contractions which I was (about every 10 minutes or so) but they weren't getting closer together or more intense. We decided to try to walk around for a while to see if that would help me progress with no luck, so they sent us home about 1 am. So we won't be celebrating a birthday yet. I'm so lucky to have a patient husband who tells me that all my false alarms this pregnancy is all part of the fun of having a baby. I'm due in 10 days, so we will be patiently awaiting her arrival!

    Easter Fun!


    On Easter we went to the Eldridge's for dinner. Our good friends, Jan and Jen made an Easter egg hunt for Noelle. Since it was raining outside, they set it up inside the house. Noelle had a blast looking for the colorful Easter eggs hidden all around the house.

    After dinner Noelle got to find more eggs in the living room, bathroom and bedrooms. She ended up with about 100 eggs! In addition to lots and lots of chocolate (that mom and dad have been enjoying) she got lots of coins for her piggy bank. Thanks Jan and Jen for the Easter egg hunt.

    On the Saturday before Easter our ward had an Easter activity. We had breakfast, a Easter program and then an Easter egg hunt. The kids in primary as part of the program sang the primary song "Did Jesus Really Live Again?" Even though Noelle is not in Primary yet and she didn't know the song, she wanted to go up with the kids in front of everyone and sing. It was cute to hear her sing even though she didn't know the words.

    After the program and breakfast the kids went to the park next to the church to hunt for Easter eggs. They could only find 12 eggs at first, until everyone found 12 eggs. Noelle kept picking up eggs and putting them in her basket so Mike had to throw them back on the grass when she wasen't looking. She caught him a couple of times and wasen't so happy.

    After everyone got 12 eggs then Noelle was set free to find as many as she could.

    A couple of days before Easter we had a get together with some friends and had an Easter party. The kids had lots of fun eating lots of candy, frosting Easter cookies, dying eggs, planting flowers and making birds nests.

    Noelle enjoyed dying eggs. Noelle prefered sticking her whole hand into the dye instead of using a spoon. As you can see by the mess, dying eggs with little kids can be a quite the experience.

    9 months

    It is so hard to believe that I am 9 months pregnant. The last 3 months has flown by. I am hoping that our baby girl comes in about two weeks, but we will see. Noelle was 2 1/2 weeks early and it was so nice not to get to the point of being so tired of being pregnant and to have the suprise of her coming early. Two weeks ago the doctor said that she had dropped and this past week he said that I was dialated to 1 1/2 cm and really effaced. So we will see if there is any more progress during my next visit. I was really excited when he said that this baby looks like she will be bigger than Noelle. I am hoping she will be a bigger baby since Noelle was only 5 lb. 10 oz. Baby's room is ready and as the days go by I am getting more and more excited about her arrival. I can't wait to meet my baby girl!

    Tumbling Class

    Mike signed Noelle up to take a tumbling class. This is the first organized class that Noelle has been in. It has been so fun for us to see her in a class setting. The first day when her class started she was a little unsure about leaving us, but has done well and is her outgoing little self. One of the requirements is that she needs to wear a leotard to class. She looks forward to going to her tumbling class every week.

    At the beginning of her tumbling class they usually do so warm ups and stretches. It is so cute to see all the kids copying the teacher in their different poses.

    One of Noelle's favorite things to do in class is a flip under the bars.
