And then there were 6!!!!

Yes, thats right we are now a family of 6!!!!! On Thursday, September 2nd, 2010, at 9:00am we were blessed to add another beautiful child to our family!!!! She weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. We named here Zurie Rose Mulholland. We are so glad to have her and she is such a good baby!!!





Here is a short version of her birthday story. She was six days overdue, and I was booked to get induced on labour day. The only day I didn't want to have the baby was September 2nd, because that would be Britlynn's first day of grade one. These little one's have a mind of their own though, and come when they want!!!! I woke up at 4:00am, and couldn't sleep. I sat there for awhile and finally decided I might be in labour. So I woke up Dave, and off to the hospital we went. We were lucky to have my sister and mom at our house, so we just left the kids, and I left it up to them to get Britlynn to her first day of school. I felt so bad to not be there for here, but everything went fine.




We arrived at the hospital around 5:30am, and sure enough I was in labour. After a few hours of pure joy we were blessed with the safe arrival of Zurieat 9:00am!!!! She was such a beautifaul baby!!! We are so glad to have another girl, and the kids love her to bits!!!!




Dave ran home after a few hours of having Zurie and got the kids. Britlynn got lucky and only had to go to half of her first day!!! We also had Elizabeth Cranmer come and take some pictures of this special moment in our life. She got some great shots!!! The kids were so excited to final see the baby!!!! Here are a few of the shots, Enjoy!!

So life is good, and we are adjusting well to having four kids!!! It's a little crazier around here, but it is all worth it!!! Zurie is such a good baby and makes my life quite easy!!! We are so thankful to have her in our family, and wouldn't want it any different!!!!

Maternity Photos


I always look at maternity photos and think how beautiful the ladies in them look. I have always wanted to do some, but I don't feel beautiful when I'm pregnant, I just feel fat. After a lot of thought, and waiting until it was almost to late, I convinced myself to get some done. I'm glad that I did get them for two reasons, 1) the memory that they have captured and 2) If this is my last child then I would not have the opportunity again. So I waited until I was 38 weeks pregnant and not very comfortable, but I put on a good face for the photographer. The lovely Elizabeth Cranmer took theses photos for me, and you can see more of her work at http://pigtailsandsnails.blogspot.com/. Here are a few of my favorites!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!
