and Ben makes ten

Well we just welcomed our 10th family member. Benjamin Ryan was born Oct.23. He is just BEAUTIFUL!!! The birth went great, one push was all it took. I want to thank my good friend Kristy for taking the pics in the delivery room. I would not have any for keepsakes or to post if it wasn't for her. Not to mention how happy I was that she was able to be with us at such a blessed event in my life. Thanks Kristy! My mom was a great help, she watched all the kiddos while I was in the hospital and did ALOT of housework for me, thanks mom! I am so glad to be back home with our new precious baby! What a miracle this new life is. I am still amazed how you can love someone so much that you just met! Thank you God for loving me so much that you would give me such wonderful blessings.......my 8 kids!!!!

Busy, busy,but time to update!

Wow! What a busy 2 weeks! No, not as busy as I will be in another 2-3 weeks but none the less busy enough for now!! Last week was Jacob's b-day a few days later was Luke's b-day party, the kids have been off of school today and last Friday! Not to mention the trips to the drs and dentist for those check ups and flu shots! All of which needed to be done before I bring home a new baby right at the start of cold and flu season! And of course those sports are still in full swing! Oh, and I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and the baby looks real good and healthy and at the time weighed about 5lbs 11 oz!!! I went back to the dr. this week and was 2 cm dilated. But hopefully, just for the sake of me getting a little more things done, I will still have a few more weeks to go! I wonder how many women in thier ninth month say that?! Oh we also had to clean up our yard last week after we got "rolled"! What fun!
