In Loving Memory of Princess Molly 10/93-06/24/06

Our Beloved Dog, Molly, passed away peacfully in the arms of Blake after 13 years of life. She was called home to be with our Heavenly Father and Grandpa Lynn in the morning of June 24, 2006, after courageously struggling with much pain and illness. Molly is survived by Blake, Shanna, Gracie, Lilly, Emily, Kelly, Troy & Grandma LaRae. She never married but helped raise many other dogs. She loved playing outside, camping, long drives, eating and getting lots of hugs, kisses and rubs. She also loved to travel and see new places, although in her last years she was limited in her activities. Molly had an amazing spirit and huge heart. She will be truely missed but never forgotten.

Here is a Picture of Happy Emmy in her Ute gear.

Spagetti'O's and first real Bath for Em

We had Spaghetti-O's for lunch today and Lilly seemed to really get into them. She has them in her hair, face, tummy and even down to the tip of her diaper. She loves Spaghetti-O's. Also, here are some pictures of Em's first "real" bath. It was nice to get her in the tubby and really clean her good. Her cord fell off the other day and so I couldn't wait to put her in the tub. She actually really liked it. All my girls love the tubby. Here is a picture of Emmie sleeping. I love when my kids sleep. They are so heavenly. We Miss Daddy

sweet bliss

Its been one of those days. It took us 2 hours to go to the bread store and pick up diapers at walmart. But, now that we are home, the girls are napping, I can check my email and write on the blog. Nothing much to write. I just am glad I am home, spending time with my girls. (sorry, i am nursing and typing at the same time.) I could get used to this. I am tired, my house is messy, I am behind on my laundry, my bathroom has gone one day to long for cleaning, but as I hold my sweet babies close and veg out to spongbob all that doesn't even matter. Here are the girls in what I call "Sweet Bliss"

more pictures of the girls

Here are some new shots of the girls. Emily is getting big and eats and sleeps a lot. The two pictures of the girls in the chair was taken about 10 mins ago. They love their new sister. I love this picture of Lilly asleep in her high chair...she had a very busy day. what a cutie.

Here's Emily........

Here is our sweet Emily Jill. She was born 06/07/06. She was 9 pounds 3.5 Oz. She is 20 1/2 inches long. She has darker hair red or brown hair..not sure as of yet. Everyday its gets lighter and reder. She is a good nurser and a great sleeper. When she came out she needed a little h2o but is perfect now. I love the picture of the girls first holding Emily. They were both pretty excited. Look at Lilly's smile. How cute. I'll add more pictures later. Just thought i would show you our newest addition. (check out the utes outfit...got to teach her young)

Emily Jill Watkins....we think...due 06/07/06

WELL,
YESTERDAY DAYS DOC APPOINTMENT WENT REALLY WELL. WE DECIDED NOT TO DO THE AMNIO AND JUST DELIVER THIS BABY. SO WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW 06/07/06. WE NEED TO BE AT THE HOSPITAL AT 9-9:30. THEY WILL PREP ME AND GET ME READY AND I HOPE TO HAVE THIS BABY BY NOON AND BE OUT OF RECOVERY AND BACK TO MY ROOM BY 2. LET US PRAY. THE BABY LOOKS REALLY GOOD. I'VE HAD SOME HARD CONTRACTIONS THE LAST FEW DAYS MORE SO LAST NIGHT AND TODAY THEN EVER. I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR A LONG TIME AND SO I AM NOT ONLY TIRED BUT EMOTIONAL AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I AM GOING TO HANG AROUND WORK TODAY. I MIGHT JUST TRY TO LEAVE EARLY AND GET A LITTLE REST BEFORE TOMORROW. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE. I THINK SHE'LL HAVE RED HAIR (I HOPE)
GRACIE IS EXCITED TO SEE THE BABY AND SPEND A FEW DAYS WITH GRANDMA. SHE HAS BEEN PACKED FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW.
ALSO, I THINK WE HAVE FINALLY AGREED ON A NAME...EMILY JILL WATKINS WILL BE HER NAME....WE THINK. ANYWAY, WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED AFTER I GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. I'LL PROBABLY BE IN THERE FOR 3 TO 4 DAYS SO THE BLOG WILL BE A LITTLE QUIET.

Due Date..let us hope

Well,
We went to the doctor on Tuesday and things are great. Miss Watkins is getting big. Dr. Russ did an estimated weight and height measurement and he says that she is at least 8 pounds...hello...!! Her height is at 41 weeks, meaning she might be a little tall. And everything else looks okay. He wasn't too happy with me for not coming in when I took my tumble down the stairs and basically said I was lucky nothing was wrong with the baby. Phew! We have a scheduled c-section for Wednesday June 7th (2 weeks early) but first thing that morning they want to do an amniocentesis to check the baby's lungs. If her lungs look mature enough then they will take her that day. if they look immature then they will wait a week. So, the Watkins house hold will have 3 girls by next Wednesday (we hope) Mom is going to take the girls the day we go in (thanks mom). We are delivering at Alta View again so everyone is welcome to come up and visit since I'll be there for 3 days.

Gracie is getting pretty excited as well. She said she had a dream that the baby had dark brown hair and purple eyes like her cousin Baylie. I thought that was cute. Baylies hair and eyes are very very dark brown is all. She is funny. She is doing a count down for this baby. 2 days with mom, 2 days with daddy, baby comes then 3 days with Grandma...I personally think she is more excited to sleep over at Grandmas than the baby. Well, that is all for now.
