Simeon's Here, Hooray!!!!

March 13th ,at 7:43 p.m., is the day that Simeon John-Calvin Counihan decided to enter the world. What a precious little guy. He seems mild tempered, easy-going, and simply delicious. The delivery was crazy and most importantly, OVER! At the end of it all he weighed in at 7lbs. 15 oz. and was 21 inches long. Within his first 5 minutes of life he pooped and urinated on the nurses, typical! He has tons of hair, I love it. Elias says that Simeon's hair feels like feathers and I catch him and Haven rubbing the dark locks often. During the delivery, before it was crazy, Ben was studying for a Physiology test that he had the very next morning. He has done amazingly well balancing school and our changing family life. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much with such fun children and I know Simeon is going to fit in just perfectly.

Surfing???

We joined the Lake family at the beach so the guys could go surfing. Not much surfing went on as you can see. The rest of us were freezing, but Ben and Emerson were snug in their cozy and cute suits.

Happy Birthday Grammie!!

I know this is a couple of days early, but I wanted to plan ahead in case life gets a little crazy. March 11th is Grammie's birthday. We love you and hope you have a great day.

Pregnancy Update

Still pregnant, dialated to a 3, 65% efaced, -1 station. I'm afraid I am going to wake up with a baby in my bed.

38 Weeks and Counting!

Julia, I promised you a pregnancy picture. Well, here you are. Things are starting to come to a close for us as far as pregnancy is concerned, thank heavens! Last week at my Dr.'s appointment my doctor was surprised at my progress at only 37 weeks. Of course, Ben and I got our hopes up, but to no avail. Ben even canceled his trip to a leadership conference and I canceled a trip to my parent's house just in case. I had contractions off and on all last thursday. However, now I type to you still with child. I feel bad for the poor little guy, he seems so cramped. All in good time I guess, all in good time.
