We think you are an awesome big sister Maren!





Happy Birthday Grandma!

SADIE ROSE DUFFY


Sadie Rose Duffy arrived on October 28,2007 at 1:21 pm. She weighs 6lbs. 12 ozs.

We had an long but AMAZING delivery. Sadie was delivered and placed in my arms and David and I looked to discover she was a girl. She did so well through labor, the pushing and eventual delivery. Strong girl! Within moments she had her name-Sadie Rose- she just looked like a Sadie Rose to us! She is nursing and sleeping and being enjoyed by us all. Twenty-four hours after she was born we are all home safe and sound. Maren is a loving big sister. We are so very happy!






Now that's one big baby!

Last night of belly?

Due date: Oct 31
9 days left
Last night of belly?
Have this feeling that the belly could be changing soon- getting smaller. Experiencing more symptoms of early labor this evening and when I read about them I learn that true labor can begin in 24 hours or several days. Hmmmm....... Thought it may be appropriate to do a belly self portrait or three just in case. It certainly looks ready, yes?
