UPDATE 2010

A lot has happened since Emma was born, we have had Brooke's 3rd bday, Claire's 6th, Dane's 8th (he got baptized!) and finally Olivia's 5th. She picked out a play guitar and has been singing ever since. We also went and saw a movie together: Dane is really happy to be there. Emmma was blessed this last Sunday and she was as cute as a button. I made her dress, but it was a little big on her (patterns never give you the right size!) She is such a happy baby with smiles for mom on cue. Dane is in 2nd grade and doing well, Claire in K (all day:) and is exhausted after the long bus ride home, Olivia is in preschool and is like a sponge (she thinks she knows everything) Brooke just wants love and attention and to play with sisters. We were going down the elevator and I said she could push the 1 button with the star and she saw a picture of a bell next to a different button and said, "how 'bout the taco one?" "Let's go to Taco Bell!" Olivia laughed with me and thought that was funny. I hope everyone is doing good and ready for summer! Love you all!, Stacey

Emma Janice Sherwood has arrived...for real this time!

Well, Thursday Jan. 7th 2010 (our 10th anniversary) Emma came to us at 8:52 am. She was 7lbs 8oz and 21 1/2 in long. Black hair and looks like Brooke's twin. David sure makes pretty girls doesn't he. We got home Friday about 6pm and things are crazy and I am tired but can't wait to get this schedule going with her. I always dread the 1st 2 months. Here are some pictures...love you all Stacey

Surgery, 80's and Randomness

Olivia had a pharyngeal flap surgery to help her speech. It has been really hard for her...and me. Her neck is really stiff. Hydrocodone didn't even make a dent in the pain. Brooke woke up from her nap with an 80's hairdo and then wanted to take a picture of me. Olivia is doing a little better today, but it will take awhile to heal. Keep her in you prayers. Am I really going to have a newborn in 3 weeks? I don't think I can handle this right now. How did my Mom have 8 kids and the last at 40? I feel like I am 45 right now. Well, Merry Christmas and here's to getting all your shopping done and treats made to hand out to neighbors and friends. Santa doesn't feel like shopping right now or making treats.

Getting ready for Christmas

Yesterday was the day to get it done...and done we got it. Everything except for Christmas lights...who knows if that will ever happen. David doesn't see the point. Well, there is always a trade off when you do too much. We finally went to bed at 10pm and I stayed up and read while David snored. I fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 11:30 with contractions. They wouldn't go away, I moved positions, walked a bit, but they kept coming. I thought, "I better not have this baby a month early!"(even though I was a month early) Olivia has a surgery on Tuesday, Christmas shopping hasn't even begun, swing & changing table are at the shop and need to be cleaned, baby clothes need to be washed...and so it went on for 4 hours until I asked David to give me a blessing (secretly hoping this baby would come early so i could be done and my right foot would stop swelling) After the blessing I walked for 15 min. and then laid down and was able to sleep just like the blessing promised. Well another day and 28 more to go til baby #5 is here. I can wait, it just won't be easy.
