Its going by fast...

We can't believe how fast these last four weeks have gone!  Our little Lily is already 4 weeks old and is getting bigger each day!  She is starting to loose her "newbornness" but it is fun to see how she is changing.  (This first picture is still at the hospital).  We feel a little bad that we haven't been taking a whole lot of pictures of her!   We have more on Amanda's mom's camera, so we will have to get those and post them.  

Lily was blessed this last Sunday.  She did such a great job not crying during the blessing.  She looked liked a little angel to us.  (sorry the pictures are sideways) Thanks for everyone who was able to make it and we missed those who weren't able to come.  

At her two week appointment, she weight 9 lbs and 9 oz and was 21 inches long.  She is a smiley baby and we love to catch glimpses of those sweet moments.

Avery is loving his baby sister, though he can be a little "rough" with her.  One of his latest discoveries is to make her "dance" by rocking the bassinet really fast, making Lily roll back and forth in her bed.  We have to keep an extra careful watch on him.  He is also getting a little mischievous.  He likes to steal Lily's binky and run away with it making his "trouble-making" laugh all the way.  Oh boy we have our work cut out for us!  

Precious Pictures

We have a very talented girl in our ward that has a photography business.  We won a photo shoot last spring, but we never could find the time to have her do our pictures.  We finally got the photo shoot done when Lily was a little over a week old.  We absolutely love them!  Thanks Deanna for the wonderful pictures- they are great!  (If you want to find out more about Deanna's photography business, go to www.adaytoadore.com- we are so pleased with how well she did our photos!)

Lily Joy Turpin

Well she is finally here!  Lily Joy Turpin was born on Nov 11th at 4:49am.  She was 20 1/4 inches long and weighed 8-lbs 6-oz.  She came by c-section because she was discovered breech when we went into labor.  Avery loved to hold her and didn't want anyone's help to anyone to take her from him. (He is going to be a great big brother). Lily is so precious to us and we think she is the most beautiful baby.   We love her so much!!!

The Waiting Game...

Well we thought we would just update everyone on our baby status.  Its been a crazy couple of weeks!  Well we were hoping to have our baby sometime in the last couple of weeks since our doctor had to go out of town.  Well...that didn't really happen.  Yesterday was a our due date, and it has come and gone with baby still baking in the oven.  We have a new doctor covering us this week, and we are scheduled to be induced on Monday the 15th, which means our little girl will be a week overdue!   Well we really do hope she decides to come before then, but we will take her whenever she gets here!   Amanda has been walking like crazy, going for bumpy rides in the mountain, eating pineapple and bouncing on the exercise ball, but to no avail!  Our little girl is just letting us know that she'll come out whenever she is ready.
Well we will keep you posted when she gets here!
