The best day of the week!!

Can I tell you how much I love Sundays!! I love how life just slows down for a few hours and I get some perfect family time in. Sunday is really the only day that I get to sit back and spend time with Trev because of school and work.

I am so thankful for the gospel in my life. I can't even imagine how it would be to not have all the knowledge of eternity and life after death. I am so grateful for the atonement. I am especially thankful for temples. It is such a blessing to be able to go sit and take part of the peace that is there. I am eternally grateful to have my family sealed together.

I woke Emma up this morning to her actually being in a very good mood. She was so happy to be here and just wanted to hug me and snuggle for a minute. Then Lilly woke up and when she seen me the first thing she did was give me a huge smile. I am thankful for them and the little reminders they give me to what life is really about.

Update!!

Wow! I have to appologize for not blogging in forever. I really kinda suck at keeping up on this stuff! Both our computers crashed too so that played a big roll in me being a slacker too. I will do better...I promise!

I'm not sure where to begin!

Trev had his 21st birthday on March 21st. We didn't do much but I got him some gaming things and let him have a night. I think he liked that.

Emma is growing so fast. She is getting so smart. She is learning how to sing the alphabet and how to do head shoulders knees and toes. I love when she sings...she has such a sweet little spirit. She got invited to her very first birthday party a few weeks ago. She loved it. She came home with a little princess wand and bracelets and a little ring pop. I love that she is getting to the point where she can go out and play but doesn't have to have me right there beside her...even though I am most the time anyways. Emma's most special friend is our neighbor Oakley. She loves him to pieces. He is one one of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are blessed to have great neighbors.

Lilly is growing too fast. She is supposed to stay small and be my baby for a while. She is already 3 months. She has laughed at Trev, Emma and my mom but just won't do it for me. Ha ha...Eventually I guess. Her little smiles just melt my heart. Lilly has such a personality already. I can't wait for her to get a little older and get to know her a little more. I love being able to help her and watch her grow. Trever blessed Lilly on Valentines Day. It was such a special experience because he didn't get the opportunity to bless Emma.

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father trusts us enough to bless us with these two beautiful girls. I love being a mom!! :)

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! Its crazy how fast 2009 flew by. A lot has happened over the year that I am so grateful for and I just want to thank everyone for being a part of our lives.

Wow! Lilly is already growing up. She is lifting her head and is so alert. She lost her umbi cord on Saturday morning. I can't believe how happy and patient she is...I LOVE IT!! She is always sneaking in little smiles to let us know how much she loves us! AND believe it or not...she is already a DADDY'S GIRL!! She starts looking around and just smiles as soon as Trev comes in the room and starts talking. Trev says that one day we will get a kid that just wants mommy all the time. LOL! I am OK with Daddy's girls though. I love watching how proud Trev gets while he talks about them or when he is loving on them. He is one heck of a dad. I am so grateful to have him around.

Emma is such a good big sister. She is so helpful in everything she does. I was worried about jealousy and her adjusting to Lilly but she has been great. Anytime Lilly starts crying at all Emma runs right to her side to hold her hand and calm her down. Its really fun to see the bond that they already have..and the one that keeps growing stronger. I am glad to see Emma being the protective sister and guardian over Lilly!

I want to take a minute and thank Trever's family for all the love and support they have given us...throughout the past month especially. You have all been an immense help. We are so grateful that you have been right behind us with every aspect of our lives. WE LOVE YOU!!

We are truly BLESSED!!

WELCOME HOME LILLY!!

Lilly Jean Murri is FINALLY here! She is so beautiful and perfect. Things couldn't be any better! She was born on December 23rd at 10:52 AM weighing 9 LBS 4 OZ and was 20 1/2 inches long! I definitely didn't expect her to be that big. She has a head full of dark brown hair and lond fingers and toes!

I was set to be induced on the 23rd but my water broke while I was walking home from the neighbors house the night before. My contractions were 2-3 minutes apart and I couldn't even feel them. They started me on an antibiotic as soon as I got to the hospital...after poking me 4 times and finally it worked. We started the petocin about 4 ours after we arrived, and then I got the epidural at 5:45 AM. I almost didn't get it...he had to poke me 3 or 4 different times before it finally worked. My back has been so sore! You have got to love it! Everything went great. I was competing with the girl in the next room over...we had the same doctor and were both dialated to and eight! She ended up going first so they were hurrying to get her baby here because Lilly was coming fast! Our babies were born within 13 minutes of eachother. Its amazing how the whole process works! These little babies are such miracles. We are so blessed to have Lilly and Emma!

We got home around noonish on Christmas Eve! It feels great to be home and all together again. I missed Emma a lot more than I thought I was going to. She is one of the best big sisters and a big helper!

We will update more later!

Wednesday!!

I had another follow up appointment today! I am 80% efaced and dialated to a 4+! We set me induction date for WEDNESDAY!! YAY! I am so excited to finally meet Lilly and have this sweet little spirit back in our home again. Emma doesn't seem to really understand that we will be bringing her home this week but she seems pretty excited when we talk about her. I can't wait to see her with Lilly!
I also got thinking back with this pregnancy...I have been really looking forward to mondays for a change. Its funny how kids change things isn't it! I love being a mom. Its the greatest feeling in the world. I am so blessed to be able to not only have just Emma but now Lilly too. Two beautiful little girls. The Lord is so great to bless us with these tiny spirits! I love everything about them. :)
I will update when I know more about the time we go in and everything! Thanks to all of you for your love and support! <3

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Santa Claus came to the clubhouse tonight so I took Emma down to get pictures with him. She doesn't really know who he is so I have been showing her pictures and such online so she wouldn't be so afraid to sit on his lap. No such luck with that....we set her down on his lap and even though I was right there holding her hand the whole time...she FREAKED OUT! It was aweful. This is as close as she would let me get her to him after that. She was so excited for the candy cane though and even told him thank you. Maybe better luck next year. :) I do have to say...Santa looked really great. I have seen a lot of santa's in my lifetime but none as good as this!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

....and it begins....

I had another follow up appointment yesterday...at this point we are down to every week visits! As always they do your regular weight check and blood pressure check. Over the last two weeks I have had a rapid weight gain of 8 lbs. and on top of that my blood pressure was really high! (140/70) Over the past two weeks I have really been feeling really crappy. I have been seriously sleeping ALL DAY LONG...no joke. I am so thankful for Trev's help. When I haven't been sleeping I have been having really bad headaches and bad contractions along with them. Here I am thinking that its just the end of the pregnancy and that I am just being a baby. It turns out that I am at the start of having TOXEMIA! Great news huh?! Thats what I wanted to hear when I went in yesterday! I have to say tho...its better than having to have Dr. Benham turn Lilly around. SHE IS HEAD DOWN!! YAY!! That was such a relief to hear. No C-Section for me. :D I am dialated to 3 cm. If I don't go before monday he is going to strip my membranes to see if that will put me into labor before Christmas. Crossing my fingers that it works! I would love to have her here for Christmas!

Not the best picture of me but at least I got one, right?!

36 Weeks 2 Days

We will let you all know what we find out this coming Monday! :)
