Sunday Pictures

I finally took some more pictures of the kids today. I'm so jealous of all of you who have a really nice camera that takes like 10 pictures per second and capture every facial expression. I swear, by the time my flash goes off I've missed the moment.

Anyone live by me that has a nice camera that wants to take pictures of my baby for me???

I did get a couple cute ones of Paige. I had to take like 20 before I could find a few I liked. This one looks like she's almost going to smile!

Cute sisters.

This is the first picture I have of all of my kids! And it's not even very cute. I'm going to do professionals later this summer when paige looks like a baby and not newborn. And when I have the patience and no post-partum hormones in me. Pictures are about the most stressful thing I can think of...I'm sure to cry if we tried to do it right now!

Last Sunday was sunny and 70 degrees so we took the family over to Tubbs hill to hike around. It was so great to get out and enjoy the sun! Sundays often feel like we are all cooped up inside and the boys go crazy. We had a fun time walking around together and enjoying the beautiful views! Tom and I get to carry our girls and the boys ran ahead and explored every rock and cliff. Paige slept the whole time in the Moby Wrap. Jane loved the backpack.

We left the camera in the hiking backpack all week long. I thought I lost it. I was about to go buy a new one when Tom found it...happy day! Here's an updated picture of Paige. She's about 2 1/2 weeks here. Today she is 3 weeks old! How time flies. She's still as itty bitty as can be.

I had to get a picture of Paige in her carseat. She looks so itty bitty in there! I'm not going to lie, when she's awake, she is often unsettled. She has to be held and her binky is her new best friend. Tonight I gave Cameron and Braden the job of holding her while I put Jane to bed. It's so nice having big helpers! Majorly different than when the boys were little.

I finally put a bow on Paige's head for the first time today. Nothing fits her tiny head, until I found this one and found a flower to attach. Isn't she darling??? Bows and flowers totally make all the difference!

Our first walk. Just me and the girls! It was 70 degrees today which was heaven!

Jane loves Paige. She hasn't been mean to her once...yet!

I will say, Jane has been giving Tom and I a run for our money. She tells us "NO" all the time and tests everything, every boundry, and is making me a little crazy! She is so opinionated all of the sudden. Yesterday I took this picture of her (below). She got herself dressed and came down and said, "I look so pretty, mama". Yes, she is so pretty! Pretty naughty! I will say, she does still have her sweet side. She will whine and cry and then instantly turn it off and say something sweet to me. Oh, that Jane.

I took a little video of Paige. I don't think that pictures do justice to her tini/cute-ness! It is oh so sad that they have to grow!

Don't let the cute, innocent face fool you...I got to love this little one this morning from about 1:30am till 4am...

Good thing I love her oh so much!

It's A ...

baby GIRL!!! Paige Elizabeth Dance...6 lbs 12 oz...19 inches.

She came last night about 5:00pm and is absolutely perfect. Of course, I was very surprised! Now I know why Tom and I couldn't come up with ANY boy names we liked!

We feel so lucky to have this little on in our family! Pictures don't do justice. I'll post more later!

antsy...

No, this baby is not here yet.
Yes, I am ready!
5 days till my due date, however, I'm going in on Saturday for an induction if baby doesn't come before (which I'm sure he/she won't). Tom works all next week and it's stressing him out thinking about rescheduling 50 patients on any given day if I go into labor during the day. So with him stressed out, it stresses me out, and I tell my doctor, and he tells me I can watch general conference at the hospital!

I think I am just so antsy b/c braden was 10 days early and jane 12 days early. So for the last week I've been thinking "any day now". Now I'm sick of saying that. Now I can just say, "Saturday is the day" and I don't have to answer the phone with "no, nothing is happening yet."

Will post results shortly, along with a picture of this new little one!
