Ella is such a sweet baby, she hardly ever cries (only if she is hungary and its past feeding time).
She gets up about twice at night to eat, but then goes right back to sleep.
-Ella's first bath. heath has asked to be ella's official bather, its pretty cute.
Ella chillin!!

Sleepy girl-
7:30am-Off to the hospital to be induced!
I recieved my first gel at 7:45am
they had me sit in bed for an hour, and then get up and walk around for an hour. the walking part was pretty tuff, the contractions started with in the forst 20minutes of laying in bed. after the first gel (2 hour time period) the nurse checked to see if i was anymore dialated, i was a 4 and so i did not need the other two gels. The contractions started to get more intense with each one, but luckly heath and my mom were there to coach me through my breathing. i asked for my epidural about 11:00am and the anesthesiologist can in about 12 noon. The doctor who put in the epidural was AMAZING! i didn't hardly feel a thing and he explained everything before he did each step. Within 20 minutes i fealt warm and tingly from my abdomine down. the epidural was sooooooooo good that i could still wiggle my toes and move my legs a litttle bit, but fealt absolutly no contraction pain. i was rather tired, so i took a nap for an hour. I could feel some cramping/contraction pain on my left side, so the nurse checked me again and to her surprise, i was a fully dialated 10!!! mind you, the doctor informed me that i would probably not start pushing till about 6pm and i was fully dialated at 2:30pm. the nurse said that the longer i wait to push, the further she will make her way down the birth canal by her self, so i waited about 20 minutes and then the nurse checked me again and her head was already starting to crown, so we geared up and started pushing. the doctor came at about 3:10pm and the fun began. i push off and on for about 20 minutes and er little precious head and body perfectly came out! she started crying instantly and she was herfectly pink! I have never seen a more perfect and beautiful baby! I could not have asked for a more PERFECT labor, and overalll not as bad as i thought it was going to be! Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl, ENJOY!

Finally home!
So i was due this past Sunday and yet no baby yet! this is the worst waiting game. i went to the doctor yesterday and i am dialated to a 3 and 70% efaced. i have tons and tons of contractions and they are pretty consistant, but then they just STOP (SO SO FUSTERATING) I am set up to be induced on Thursday July 1st, she just does not want to come on here own, so our little girl will be here this week! yay! stay tooned for pictures of Ella bear!
I am off of work for 7 weeks and i have been rather bored this week awaiting the arrival of my little girl. so i decited to make some more head bands for her, except these will fit her little head and the others i made before are for 6+months. i made them with knee hight nylons for the band and i just cut and sewed then end together, and then i got flowers from michaels, detatched the backs, melted them flat, hot glues the jewel in the middle and them hot glued the flower to the nylon band, i had lots of fun doing it!
This past sunday morning our beautiful mountains were set on fire by some STUPID campers. these are some pictures of sunday afternoon. the fire is still going today (thursday) and is only 20% contained. its really windy this time of year so the fire people are having one H of a time getting it under controll. it has burned some more than 18,000 acres and still burning. some of my most favorite places on the peaks are gone and it makes me really really sad to think about it. W e just need to pray for rain, for that is most likely the ONLY thing that will put the fire out, if they can't get it out, say good bye to snowbowl and pretty much the entire mountain range : (
I found these cute little hats on line for realy really cheap and i went to michaels and bought the flowers. i hot glues them to some clips from sally's beauty supple and attached ribbon, i think they turned out really really cute! the flowers have clips on them so they are interchangable.
Head bands-
These are all the other bows that i have, most were made and given to me! Heath thinks that she is set for life!
I went to Kohles to kill some time today and found these and i could not resist, they were 50% and 70% off! they look alot cuter in person!
