<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the story and some pictures :)<br />
<br />
So, I went in for my 38 wk check up, and the Dr. told us<br />
we were going to have the baby within the next day or two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided I should probably take a picture of the belly before it was too late :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuXWbx9cZYQ/UGR5sch20RI/AAAAAAAABxo/e6XAhw0SZwE/s1600/emiliahospital.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuXWbx9cZYQ/UGR5sch20RI/AAAAAAAABxo/e6XAhw0SZwE/s320/emiliahospital.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Dr. tried to set an induction for that day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the hospital was full and wouldn't allow anyone who wasnt in active labor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, my body doesnt let me know it's in labor until its too late</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(minutes before the baby arrives)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, our Dr was leaving town the next day and would be gone for a week</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(worst timing ever!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's be honest...we were nervous</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and more than nervous when our Dr. explained how to deliver our baby on our own</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning, we met with another Dr</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was amazed that I didnt acknowledge </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the strong contractions my body was having</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still no openings at the hospital</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was worried</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were worried</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mother, sister, and brother-in-law came</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and miraculously, the hospital called that afternoon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An unexpected discharge came, which meant an opening for me :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We arrived and 3 hours later, Emilia was born</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are SoOoOo grateful for the helping hands!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When my family brought Crystal and Abigail to visit, it was priceless!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1mxU1f3MkQ/UGR5mfoiSgI/AAAAAAAABxg/VTmLO4P3oTQ/s1600/crystalhospit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1mxU1f3MkQ/UGR5mfoiSgI/AAAAAAAABxg/VTmLO4P3oTQ/s320/crystalhospit.jpg" width="233" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The moment Little Crystal walked in the room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could see her heart beaming as she sweetly walked over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and batted her eyes at her new sister</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She anxiously waited for daddy to put Millie in her lap, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then ever so gently rocked her back and forth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After humming and gently rubbing her face, she quietly said</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh Millie, I've been waiting for you for years!!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CfyW5GivOn4/UGR5f6n8ZLI/AAAAAAAABxY/8A04BqfbbOM/s1600/abbyhospital.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CfyW5GivOn4/UGR5f6n8ZLI/AAAAAAAABxY/8A04BqfbbOM/s320/abbyhospital.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could hear the nurses giggling in the hall</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Telling each other to look at that "Cute, sassy little movie star"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I immediately knew it was our little Abigail :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As Abby strutted into my room with her bright smile and usual attire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(decorated head-to-toe with head band, sun glasses, dress, and purse)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The moment she saw me, her whole body shifted emotions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shoulders dropped, glasses came off, and she ran over to me with tears in her eyes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All she wanted was to lay next to me and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next 10 minutes, she caressed my face and hair asking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"You okay, mommy? You okay? It's okay mommy, I love you. It's okay."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the softest, most loving little voice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With the family spread out across the US, it was so fun seeing everyone together. :)<br />
<br />
On our way to the reunion, we drove through the Clear Water National Forest in Idaho. It was honestly one of the most beautiful forests we've been through, so we decided to stop and camp for the night. :) <br />
We found the perfect campground - next to a walking trail and river on one side, and warm lake and field on the other. We even had fresh cut fire wood and newspaper left from whoever stayed there the previous night. We couldn't believe our luck!<br />

After being bullied by a few older children over thrown candy, uncles Randy and Robert made it their goal to get as much candy as possible for her. It was adorable watching her face light up each time they put handfuls of candy into her purse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was obvious she found herself two new hero's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;">I just love these two pics of Randy & Crystal</span></div>

"You know, I think I win because mine is different."</div>

I thought I was a brilliant thinker for using hot glue to hold the house together...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FYI..do not try this. It WILL come back to haunt you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you will end up with a poor excuse for a home. :)</div>

<div align="center">
We played white elephant for one of our Christmas parties</div>
<div align="center">
And this is the gift Brian and I gave....</div>
<div align="center">
A BIG, framed, poster-size protrait of our face. HeHe</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
At first we did it as a joke</div>
<div align="center">
Thinking only we would find it absolutely hilarious.</div>
<div align="center">
I was surprised when it became the hit of the party.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I'm not going to lie...every time I look at this, </div>
<div align="center">
I get creepy goose bumps, and can't stop staring</div>
<div align="center">
And I can't help but giggle a little inside.</div>

Merry Christmas :)</div>

Coming home from the westside gets long and boring<br />
So we try to brake it up with fun stops on the way<br />
This was the best yet...<br />
We found a random sand dune off the side of the road and decided to make a stop <br />
<br />
We had SoOoOo much FUN!!<br />
<br />

Daddy wanted to build a sand fort<br />
It wasnt long before both girls jumped in<br />
It was priceless watching these three work together<br />

On her first day of school, she was SO excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would be nice for me as well to have some one-on-one time with little Abby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was sure of this...until we walked out the door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I buckled her in the car, she softly took my hand and said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's going to be okay mommy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to school and going do lots of paperwork.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I be home soon...Promise!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could you NOT melt at that...</div>

Miss Crystal had her dance recital this last week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She listened so intensely to her teacher and was so proud to show us her fun dances.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love this little girl!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Putting her shoes on...and of course her silly face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(she thinks she's sooo funny, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so anytime we take a pic of her she <i>always</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has to do a funny look before she will actually smile)</div>

And will dance in the corner and clap and shout "Yay Keecaw!!" when the music stops.</div>

Miss Abigail's first birthday!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S_2ewiogldQ/TjnQ6H6lDEI/AAAAAAAABb8/9tW1PbQBVXw/s1600/WP_000244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S_2ewiogldQ/TjnQ6H6lDEI/AAAAAAAABb8/9tW1PbQBVXw/s320/WP_000244.jpg" width="190" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to believe that a year has
passed already! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby loved the special treatment and
attention she was given</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially when she realized </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she had a whole cake to herself :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2U8JYwgdfl4/Tjm_F4buzlI/AAAAAAAABb0/hfgpfDnaIz0/s1600/DSC_0876.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2U8JYwgdfl4/Tjm_F4buzlI/AAAAAAAABb0/hfgpfDnaIz0/s320/DSC_0876.JPG" width="218" /></a> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few things Abigail loves at one year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her
blanket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">From the
moment she wakes in the morning until night, it's either in the same
room or dragging along side her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Anytime she spots it across the room,
she lights up with a giggle and runs as fast as she can to it, then
falls on top and lays there hugging it as though it was a long lost
friend. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXvhro5WcyE/Tjm-mO6QwaI/AAAAAAAABbk/3t-ITYdZ6NU/s1600/DSC_0815.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Music.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anytime music is playing (which is most of the day with these girls), she's hopping her little body up and down to the beat. If I ever pause a song midway, she'll take my finger, walk me to the player, and point to it with a "ma ma ba ma" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Swinging.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Swinging High, swinging Low...she loves it all. Abby could swing for hours at the park and be the happiest little girl there. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Crystal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Abigail makes it known that Crystal is her role model and best friend </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">She LOVES following her around, playing with her, and wearing anything that's Crystals. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Today I walked into the room and Abby had tried her best to put on Crystal's clothes...</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sOS9UqP374M/TjnFUV6kT2I/AAAAAAAABb4/Fn5m3XSFlVE/s1600/DSC_0003-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sOS9UqP374M/TjnFUV6kT2I/AAAAAAAABb4/Fn5m3XSFlVE/s320/DSC_0003-1.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not going to lie...I was impressed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Anytime Abby wakes from her nap and
Crystal's still sleeping, she will walk to Crystal's door, place her ear
to it and start humming. If I dont catch her in time...she quickly
goes from <i>humming</i>, to <i>quietly</i> saying "cawna" (Crystal), to
<b>yelling</b> "Cawna! hey wa wa!"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love our little Abigail!!</div>

So...I realize its been a little too long since we've updated anyone on

I even tried a different version of the test, and when I was taking it I thought to myself, there is no way that I am an INTP again. Well...I was wrong I guess I haven't changed at all. Anyways I like this site, it does a nice job of visualizing personalities.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18184156742214444968noreply@blogger.com3
