Weekly update

Since today is Sunday and we don't have church until 1:00 I thought I would get a few things written down about our past week........
This week was really hard to get back on a schedule from Christmas. Getting Madalyn ready for the bus was the biggest thing, it was so nice to be able to sleep in and not have to try and get the kids in bed by 7:30.

Monday morning Emily called me and she needed a ride to the hospital she was going into labor, and Brock was at school. I called around and found a place for my kids to go, then went and picked her up. It was so strange not being the one in pain, i guess I have a little more of an understanding of what the men go through. To make a long story short Emily ended up having a C-section and Wyatt Brock Gibbons was born Tuesday Jan. 5th at 12:07 am (7' 15" 20 inches long). I was able to be at the hospital when he was born and what a miracle it is to see a new baby come into this world. He is doing good now and is out of NICU, and will come home on Tuesday.

We got some test results back from Madalyn. She has been having a lot of tummy problems the past 3 months. We had an x-ray done and that showed us nothing and then had blood work done and they could not find anything wrong. So we don't really know where to go from here. I guess we are just going to see how the next month goes and see if it get better or worse.

We took the girls to see "The Princess and the Frog" yesterday. They really loved the movie. We had promised the kids we would go during Christmas but I just didn't feel go the day we were in Tri-Cites.

I realized that I have not blogged about this pregnancy. Since this is the closest thing to a Journal that I have I want to record a few things about this baby. I got sick right away with this one, so for the past 4 months I have not felt like doing to much. Here are a few things about this one: I have been a lot sicker with this one, I throw up alot more and feel yucky all day long, my body also feels like I'm 50 and pregnant, I can't get enough sleep, and very emotional. I don't know if it is a boy or girl (most likely a Girl) we are looking forward to finding out what it is in less than a month. I am very excited for this baby, it has been a long time since I have felt like we have a baby in our house.

The emotions don't go away after the baby is born. Lack of sleep I'm sure has a lot to do with it!! Can't wait to hear what you are having! Are you hoping for another girl like the last 3 times or are you wanting a boy this time around?
