She surprised us by deciding to come earlier than planned! Tuesday morning, while Ben was in Ft Wayne, I started to have contractions! Luckily, Paula was over for a playdate that day and Ryan was in town. Ryan came over to watch the kids, while Paula drove me to the hospital and stayed with me until Ben got there. After much discussion, itt was decided to do the c-section that night.
We got home on Friday, and everyone is adjusting nicely.

The Little Girl's Room

 

 

 

So I thought I would post pictures of the kid's rooms, but I haven't made Josh's bed this morning, so I am only posting pictures of our baby girl's room (we still don't have a name). I am thrilled with how the room has turned out. It's pretty girly, which was a surprise coming from me, but I love it. I owe a huge thank you to my sister for painting the room for us, and to Paula for helping me decide where and how to place the butterflies and flowers on the walls. For that matter, she gave me the idea for the butterflies and flowers, so I owe her a thank you for that too!

I also included a recent picture of Josh. He got to build and paint a helicopter the other day, and he was pretty proud of it.

One more week, and hopefully we will get a chance to post pictures of our newest arrival!
