Grace Lorelei Orr

At 10:06AM on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 Grace Lorelei Orr became the third member of our family! She was 8 pounds, 5 ounces and 20.5 inches long. Since I personally was not the one to birth her, I will leave that whole story for Sierra to post later on. Instead I just have some pictures to share for all those who want to see! There will be more later on but here is a good start:)






Until the next post!

I'm Ready for This Baby or Am I?



Hello,
Sierra here,I’ve decided that OBs make you come in one a week during your last month because if you didn’t have a scheduled appointment you would just come in anyways telling him how you think your in labor and all the other crazy things that go through a 8 ¾ months pregnant women’s head. For example today I decided that my baby must be blind and can’t locate the opening which she should come out and that’s why she is still stuck in there, crazy but today it made perfect sense. Yesterday it was because we haven’t installed her car seat and she knew it wasn’t safe to come yet. So today we did install her car seat but it doesn’t fit in our car. It’s truly depressing when your car seat is so “safe” it won’t fit in your car because it doesn’t latch properly (this probably is because our car is a ’95 and has over 180,000 miles). We jimmy rigged it to work behind the passenger seat but because the car seat is so big and our car is sooo tiny the front passenger seat has to be all the way to the dash and sitting as straight up as it goes. So basically baby grace gets a nice seat in the car and whoever else is in the car other than the driver must sit in the back. So our “5” person car has turned into a 2 person+ car seat car because the middle back seat and the front passenger seat are useless. I’ve started taking up walking like it’s my job and my life depends on it, that hasn’t worked either. I even ran the bases on a little league field the other day, that didn’t do anything. I guess I shouldn’t be so whiney yet I’m not due for 2 weeks but man it’s all that’s on my mind. Last week I figured she didn’t come because I didn’t have my diaper bag but I finally got it and that wasn’t the reason either .
We have two Chihuahuas, Tucker and Layla, they are our spoiled babies. I’m really worried what they will think of the new baby. I hope they will get used to her and are nice and don’t try to bite or smother her (tucker does this thing where he lays his neck over your mouth and nose and doesn’t move till you move him, he likes the air you blow on his neck trying to breath). Anyways, today I’m working on this project for my last class at school to collect my degree (my final is this Thurs and then I will officially be a graduate of EWU!!) all day and the dogs have been pretty patient. But tonight Layla was in a mood. She kept crying and crying and she just ate, went outside, and had her bone to chew on but apparently she needed more attention from me so she jumped on the bed and started screaming at me from the other room I went in to see what the matter was and she just cried till I would come sit on the bed with her and scratch her. She LOVES to be scratched. So I scratched her for like 10 min and then she fell asleep. Every time I stopped scratching she started crying. It was annoying but so cute. She has never done that before. I swear she knows something is up; maybe she is helping me practice and prepare for the baby. Anyways that is about all for today, maybe tonight the baby will come!!! (haha I can dream can’t I??)
