I think the sweetest thing so far is watching Rilyn and Ella bond with Asher. I couldn’t have imagined how beautiful it is to watch my girls give their new brother so much love. Here is some of my favorite pics of family bonding. More pics are on our Welcome Asher album.
Our family started on May 26, 2001.
Rilyn was added June 3, 2004.
Ella was added January 5, 2006.
We can’t wait to make our family FIVE with Asher coming next week!!!
(This is an ultrasound of Asher’s profile. You see his nose and one of his eyes which is closed.)
So, if my body will cooperate (meaning I will at least start to diliate), then the induction day is Thursday, April 24th!! He is already weighing 7 lbs so mommy really can’t wait!
Asher’s nursery is finished and ready for his arrival!
In case you were unsure of who Rilyn looks like….
I call this their ‘squinty face because the sun is in my eyes’ look.
It’s that time of the year again…(for Texas anyway!)

Ella started becoming interested in potty training at 23 months. Four months later, we are still working on it, but slowly progressing. I don’t think she will be fully trained by Asher’s arrival, but she is doing good!
(The reason she is doing her pout is because she doesn’t want to wear the ‘rock star’ glasses mommy is making her wear b/c they go well with her shirt!) 😉
Okay, so I’m officially 9 months pregnant now…due date is still April 27th, but I will update as soon as I get an induction date. I’m really getting into taking artsy pictures so just humor me.
Last week James told me that we had an ‘accounting dinner’ at Olive Garden on Wednesday night. I thought this was kinda strange being that a big company like Dell would choose Olive Garden, (no offense to this delicious Italian restaurant which I love!), to host a company dinner but was like oh well-it gave me a reason to shower and put on decent clothes (neither which I do these days b/c I’m 36 weeks pregnant and have 2 kids under 4!) So, you can imagine my delight when my good friends, Jen and Leslie, surprised me by taking me to Olive Garden instead of the supposed company dinner to celebrate Asher’s upcoming arrival. I was touched and thought nothing of it when they said afterward we were meeting at Angela’s house for dessert and to open a present for me. Well….when we got to Angela’s house there were 20 people all waiting for me to celebrate Asher! There was chocolate everything b/c my friends know me so well. So, thank you Jen, Leslie, Angela, Diana, and Yuna! You truly made me feel very loved and even more excited for Asher’s arrival! (And James did a great job lying to me too-I truly was surprised!)
