Welcome to the world KATE!!

Well on thursday morning 11/11 Kate joined our family the same way her 2 sisters did, via c-section. It was different however, in that I did not throw up through the whole thing. This is a first! Kuddos to my new best friend Todd Gemlich, the nurse anesthetist!! He did a great job in keeping me from vomiting. Also I had the great experience of having my friends/doctors get to deliver this baby. Joe Watson and Jeff Zollinger also did a great job of getting me cut open and put back together again. I'm pretty sure my scar is straight :) Kate has been a great baby so far. She is little but mighty. She was 5 lbs 5 ounces and 19 inches at birth. When we left the hospital saturday she was down to 5 lbs 2 ounces with clothes on. She will have some catching up to do. Ella and Bailee could not be happier big sisters. They love her so much. Here are a few pictures for those of you who have not seen her. There is even a video if I can get it to work of kate joining this world.

About time

Well I think it is about time I make a post. Life is getting back to somewhat of a schedule now that school is back in full swing. Bailee is in 2nd grade and loving every minute of it. She is glad to be back in school. She is taking dance, piano, and has decided to play basketball this year. Like we need one more activity. Ella started preschool this year. She is really enjoying it and feeling like a big girl. Ella is also taking dance lessons this year. We are all looking forward to Kate our baby joining our family. 10 weeks and counting down. I am ready to be done!! The office is going good, a little slow but hopefully with school back in it picks up. The ER at EIRMC is great. It is as busy as ever and I am still constantly learning and improving my skills. Joe is in the midst of farming season trying to get the grain harvested so we can dig potatoes!! My family is growing. We had 2 new babies born this summer. Rachel had her first baby, a sweet little girl named molly. Andrea has her second, another little boy named austin both who are doing great. We had family pics done a few weeks ago and they turned out great. I hope everyone is ready for fall it seems to be here. The nights are getting very chilly!! Here are a few of the pics.
