~Payton, Payton and more Payton!~

Everyone checking out the tiny feet!

Madie, mommy and Payton!


Naomee, mommy and Payton!

Cadie, mommy and Payton!
The girls enjoyed coming to the hospital so much that the second night they didn't want to leave. They even asked if they could stay there too. Naomee said "Can we stay here forever?"

First bath, of course he didn't like it!


He loves getting his hair washed now!

Loves to suck on anything that gets close to his mouth!

Just after delivery, the Doc, Shawn, Payton and I!

Delivery from start to finish was 5 1/2 hours long. It only took about 6 pushes or so for him to slide right out. And man was is worth it. He is beautiful and such a good baby now. For the moment he only cries when he is hungry or mad that he is getting his diaper changed. I know this is really no indication of what kind of baby he will be, but it is nice for now, and I will relish in it. I am just glad that everything went well and that he is here. I know it is easier when they are in the womb, but it is not as nice as when they are out. The girls are always begging to hold him and would do it all day long. They would gladly skip all chores and homework responsibilities in order to keep holding him. I almost have to ransome him in order to get them to do anything. I know that the newness will ware off, but I am glad that they are taking to having him around so well. And he really is a good baby as long as he has something to suck on!

~More about Payton!~

Payton Shawn Harbert was born 2-19-09

He is here, Payton Shawn Harbert, was born
Thursday February 19th at 12:39pm.
He was 7lbs 1oz, 19 1/2 inches long.

I will give more details and pictures later, but I thought I would update everyone that he is here. I am so glad that he is finally in our home and that his birth and pregnancy was really good.

~Valentine's Day for my sweet girls!~

The flowers were from Shawn to me!
I think this is one of the most beautiful that he has picked out!
As you can see I did manage to blow up that picture for Shawn,
it was not the best but it was the best that
could be done with something so old and little.

The cake that made for each of the girls!

Shawn buys the girls a card every year and this year is was a singing card, which they thought was the best. He also found this funny balloon for me that if you tap it, it sings "I got you babe."

All of the girls opening the little things we got for them, mostly lotion and candy.
The girls spent the whole day eating chocolate and cake. It was like Halloween all over again. It was a nice day though!

~As requested~

As requested here is the most updated and probably last picture of me pregnant!
This was taken on Sat Feb 14th 2009.

I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and then we will know for sure if the baby will be delivered on Wed or Thurs. I will keep everyone updated. I am 38 weeks pregnant now. I am so excited to get to the end. I am starting to feel very sore and uncomfortable, but still really good all at the same time.

~A family that works together stays together!~

A family project!

Almost everything we need! We have the cradle too, but no picture.
We have been working on washing baby clothes. It is almost time!!!!

This is the blanket that we worked on this weekend. When it is tied tomorrow I will post a picture!

I forgot about these pictures!

I thought that the only pictures we had of the 2 of us together before we got married were our engagement pictures. I was going through a box of things and came across this wonderful find. They were taken about 1 month before we got married in a photo booth. I love this one here, it was the classic last picture taken. I think I am going to have it enlarged and framed for Valentines Day for Shawn.

I love this picture so much!

Weekend picture frenzy!

Here is a couple of new pictures. I decided that since I didn't know when the baby was coming I had better do my picture with the girls before he was born. I have done this type of picture with the girls each time I have gotten pregnant. It has been fun to do.
This place we went does like 50-100 pictures per sitting and you can do outfit changes and no sitting fees. Their smallest package is $10 for a lot of good sized pictures. It covered everything I needed. (I always need at least 4 5x7's, but usually have to buy more, since most places give you maybe 2 or 3.)
I decided to buy the next smallest picture package 3 sheets for $15. So I was really good and spent only $35 . Of course we will have to go back and use their $10 package 2 more times, with the baby being born and needing family pictures.

I have these really cute picture frames that I got for the girls that say "sisters" on them, so that is why I ended up getting this pose too.
