More pictures of our beautiful grandbaby

We are so tired, that I don't have the energy to write. So I will let these pictures speak for themselves, she is breathtaking!

Laneah is here !!!

I will add more pictures later, and sorry if they're a little blurry. But I am so tired, I am about to keel over. She was born this morning at 8:28 a.m. 7 lbs even, and 19 and 3/4 inches long. More pictures to come, but here is mom and baby for now! Her water broke at 1:30 a.m. and we were all at the hospital by 2:30, needless to say, we are very tired!!

Our Crazy Thanksgiving

Here's the finished product, below are the boys finding it (in knee deep snow), below that is our family drinking IBC cream soda (while waiting for dinner to finish), and below that is Halley relaxing in front of the tree!

The Lord's Time !!!

I just have to say how much I love my Heavenly Father, and how grateful I am that He takes care of my baby girl. Last night Lanelle had a trip to the hospital because she thought her water might have broke, but it hadn't, so Grandma Monty's muffin still needs to bake a little longer. So we'll see how close she is, at Lanelle's doctor's appointment this morning. But I am so grateful for blessings, and even though we are all excited for baby to come, she will come on the Lord's time, NOT OURS! Lanelle's last blessing said that Laneah would come when she is SUPPOSE TO, and not until then. So you see only her Heavenly Father knows when that is, and I am so grateful that she is in His Protective Hands!!

Still hasn't popped

She's still in there! But she can safely come this week, so we're getting excited. And Sis has been having contractions all weekend, big ones at that!!

Baby keeps wanting to come !!!

Lanelle's body keeps trying to get further and further into labor, to the point that she had to go to the hospital this morning. But the doctor gave her some pills that are even stronger, than the one's she already had. They relax the muscles, so it slows down the process a bit, and it takes the edge off as well. If the bayt would have been in distress, or if lanelle's dilation had progressed too far, they would have had to continue with the labor. But they both are doing great, so they will try to hold off a while longer, to make sure baby fully develops.

Blizzard Time !!!

We are getting a blizzard tonight, it was snowing so hard that when we were at our ward Thanksgiving Dinner, there was three inches on our car, by the time we came out! We're loving it!! And our daughter's labor is progressing, her contractions are 10 min apart, and getting very strong!!!

Daddy's girl is in labor !!!

She went to the doctor today, due to having a lot of contractions, and she is in early labor. He gave her some pills to take the edge off, because he wants the baby to hold off a week if possible. But there's a chance that labor just won't slow down, so I guess we will have to wait and see!

Lanelle's Baby Shower !!

I actually took 60 pictures today, but these were just a few of my favorites. Make sure you check out the cake made out of diapers, there's a close-up at the end.

My Baby's having a Baby

Today is Lanelle's Baby Shower, and I am so excited. But my emotions are running deep this morning, as I reflect on how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday, that I was the one pregnant with Lanelle. I miss the days where she was fully dependent on me, like her little one will be on her. I know time moves on, and now it's her turn. But now and then I cry, good tears, as I ponder the days I held her in my arms as an infant. I heard it once said, that "A mother's love is an unrivaled force of nature." I believe that this is true, there is nothing more powerful in a woman's life.

Our First Big Storm This Year !!
