Meeting the Newest Arrivals

We spent most of our July in Utah.

It was so much fun and we were very busy, 

so it'll take me a few days to catch up!

We had two new nieces and a nephew
born in the last two months,

which means we had some snuggling to do!

Lucas-Chad & Jordan's little guy

and Ella-Spencer & Britt's darling girl.

And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

The girls loved holding the new babies!

 Lucas enjoys getting to know the girls...

And Nora couldn't get enough of "Baby Ook"

 Nora also loved holding baby Ava,
Sarah & Andrew's sweet girl who arrived in June

And we were lucky enough to be there when baby Ella made her appearance.

We went by the house a week later so the kids could love on their new cousin.

You may notice someone missing from these pictures...

Matt isn't so much into the babies--he'd rather hang out with the uncles!

Our new niece, Ella Bethany arrived last night!

Congratulations Spence and Britt!

Sweet Surprise

I was in Salt Lake over the weekend for 

a baby shower honoring my sister-in-law Brittany.

The day I flew in, my other sister-in-law Sarah 

got a special phone call-

a birthmother wanted her and Andrew to be the parents 

of her precious baby girl

It was a whirlwind two days and on Saturday, 

they brought her home...

and let us all love on this adorable addition to the family...

Welcome to the family Ava Grace!

New Niece

Our new niece arrived late last night in New York...

Ryan and Ruth Ann welcomed Emily into their family!

I always like to be the first to know "the news"

Ryan and Ruth Ann kindly kept me in the "loop" by leaving a message at 11:45 last night!

Thank You!

We are so lucky to have family who are willing and able to come out and help!

And boy do I need it...this fourth child has made me realize more than ever that I am not a supermom!

Thanks to my mom and my sister Heather for coming out to help.  

We also get Paul's mom tonight to help out.

I don't know what I'm going to do after that...you might say a little prayer for me next week when Nana leaves!

Happy Birthdays!

March is a busy month for our family!

Happy 12th Birthday today to Courtney--

we're looking forward to Courtney coming out this week to visit!

Today is Andrew's birthday as well (second from right)

I only have group shots with Andrew in them--

Happy Birthday to a great brother-in-law!

And yesterday was the birth day of our first nephew on my side!

Introducing Garrett...

He looks a lot like his cousins, doesn't he!  

Congrats on a job well done Chad and Jordan--now the fun part begins!

New Nephew!

So Chad and Jordan had their baby boy today (on Jordan's and my original due date)!

We are so excited to meet this new nephew and hope they send pictures soon!

Stats:  7 lbs. 13 oz and 20 inches long

8 WEEKS!

We have started the countdown to our little one's arrival!  Right now she is scheduled for March 12, which is a couple weeks early due to her being my 4th c-section.  I will go in for an amniocentesis earlier that week to make sure her lungs are ready and then hopefully all will be ready for her to arrive Thursday morning!  So, toss up a few prayers that she (and we) will be ready to go--we're getting very anxious to meet our littlest princess!

It's a...

GIRL!
We're all excited and even Matt seems okay with it!
I told Paul to start saving up for three weddings!
I am thrilled about more pink and love the idea of having three girls together!
The boys are just going to have to stick together.

One More Day...

So I arrived right on time to my appointment today to have an ultrasound and a check up. However, the receptionist did not have my name down anywhere--not today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Somehow, when she gave me my appointment last month, she forgot to enter it into the computer and since the ultrasound technician had already left, I have to go back tomorrow. Luckily, she felt bad and made room for me tomorrow instead of making me wait until next week. I cried on the way out which is kind of lame, I know, but I was so anxious to KNOW today whether we were having a boy or girl. The excitement doesn't diminish just because this is number four--so we're disappointed today, but hopefully all will go well tomorrow!

Boy or Girl?

So I've passed the halfway mark and we get to go in next Wednesday for our official ultrasound. (The doctor's office just got a new plasma screen up on the wall which makes it so nice and easy to watch the whole ultrasound! I'm very excited!) People have started to ask if we're going to find out what we're having. We always do--we have children to prepare and really, we're not good at waiting. We like to plan ahead! Matthew wants a brother and may need these last few months to adjust if he's getting another sister. Afton and Halle both want a baby girl. Paul thinks it's a girl and I just don't know. Take a guess yourself and we'll let you know next week!

We've been slowly spreading the news that we're expecting a 4th (and most likely last) little one in March, so I decided to take it public on the blog! We are very excited for this new little baby and so are the kids; although we think if it's another girl, Matt will send her back! We're also excited that my brother and his wife are due with the first Bunting cousin on the same day! Lots for us to look forward to in the coming months!

Speaking of mothers...

Some EXCITING news! Our sister Sarah just found her baby! A birthmom has placed a little boy with them TODAY! My emotions are overflowing as I know how much she has wanted this blessing and how patient she and Andrew have been in waiting for the child who was meant to be with them! So they are now parents and we are all so excited to meet this new nephew!
