We have been busy with soccer this fall. It has been a lot of fun watching the kids play. They have done really well. It was Micah's first season, he was a little shy but I think aggression will come with time. Megan really enjoys playing and is getting really good at it. I really enjoy watching them play!

More pics of Bella

Here are some more pictures of our sweet little Bella. Yes, she does have dimples in her cheeks. They are so adorable! That was one of the first things I noticed about her...her hair and her dimples. She is so precious! I can't believe she is already 15 days old! I took her to her 2 week appointment yesterday and she is now 8 1/2 lbs. I was so glad to hear that she had gained wieght because she hasn't been the very best eater. But she is doing very well now!

Hospital pictures of Bella

Here are some of the pictures we took of Bella the first few days after she was born. She has been such a good baby so far, and the kids just adore her. They have been so good with her! I have also recovered quicker with Bella than any of the other kids. It has been very nice.

Bella Kate Rowe

Well, we had our baby on October 5th at 12:15 P.M. She is so adorable! I feel bad because my computer has been acting up, so Boyd has had it all torn apart, and I just barely got the chance to update about the baby. I haven't figured out how to put pictures on the computer yet, but tonight I will have Boyd help me. But I wanted to let everyone know Bella is doing great. She is a very good baby so far...I know she is only 10 days old, but I am hoping her good nature stays...and she doesn't get fussy. She has tons of dark brown hair, and big dimples in her cheeks. Everyone thinks she looks like Brooke. She has been a joy, and the kids absolutely adore her. The delivery went very good, I was only in labor for 3 hours! I am so greatful that she came to us. We love her so much already!

Monday is the day!!!

Well, they have scheduled me to get started on Monday the 5th at 4:00 AM for my induction. I am very excited but nervous! I am cleaning, washing, canning, baking, everything I can so we are all ready for this baby! I haven't been sleeping a wink, so I am exhausted, but I know how tired I am after the baby is born, so I am trying to get everything ready and prepared as much as I can now. The kids are very excited and can't wait to meet their new baby sister. So we are patiently waiting Monday morning....in hopes that all will go well!

Counting down

Well I am officially full term yesterday. So the baby could technically come any day and be all right....we hope! I am getting anxious for her arrival, but don't feel prepared. I am putting it off for some reason. This week my goal is to get everything out and washed and put away. The kids are getting pretty excited. All of my kids have come a week early, but I keep telling myself not to plan on it, because she will probably come a week late! Anyway, I thought I better get a picture of myself pregnant...I usually try to avoid cameras all together, but I like to put one in their scrapbook.

Canning season!!

I have been busy canning and freezing food for the past couple of weeks. I always enjoy putting up fruits and veges for the winter, but this year is a little bit harder trying to do it 8 1/2 months pregnant. I can't believe how much harder it is. I can't lift the cases, and going up and down the stairs is horrible. But the good new is, is that I am almost done. We have done peaches, pears, raspberry jam, chicken, beef, tomatoes, salsa, grape juice, and corn. I think that is all of it. We are still planning on doing more salsa, and maybe spaghetti sauce. And whatever else we have come up! Anyway, that is what I have been busy doing every day for the past while. Fun!!!
