Baby No Name

So, my sister was due to have her baby on or about April 15, 2010. Marx's birthday is April 5th and there are several other birthday's in our family within the month prior to "Tax Day," I secretly wanted her to have the baby on Marx's birthday (would have made them 9 years apart) but in light of how the last pregnancy and birth went for her I just hoped that she would stay pregnant as long as possible and have a nice big baby who was willing and able to nurse!! Little Molly was a tiny little thing (at least for our family) at just barely over 6 pounds and she had a bit of a rough (that's an UNDERSTATEMENT) start with nursing. She is still teeny but completely capable, she has got to have the fastest hands in the west, she can dismantle an entire room in about 30 seconds flat. Talk about T-R-O-U-B-L-E, that's Molly. She's a darling girl, smart as a whip and I absolutely adore her, she's also always dressed cute as can be. That's why Cambria has the girls, she's so much better with clothes and hair. Ok, I digress....I had study group on Thursday night. When I got home after I checked my email and found this:

Hello everyone---First of all this is not Cambria--If it was Cambria she probably would call everyone instead of write --however due to the limited amount of resources in my back pocket this will have to due---I am writing to let everyone know that Cambria gave birth to our third child ( no name yet) and further to be addressed as "No Name". The birth of No Name was yesterday wednesday at 10:24 pm. No name is female about 21 inches long and weighs a little over 8.5 lbs. No name's birth went well. We decide to have this one at home---(being that the first one was born in the back of a moving vehicle[(no hard feeling about the vehicle nana)], the second one was born half at home and half at the hospital---so this one we decided not to be so adventurous and just stay home) it went well---A midwife from Laberon named Jaylene (not sure if I spelt that right) helped bring No Name into this world. The birth went very smooth and we were very pleased with Jayleen(not sure if I spelled that right either) --No Name seems very healthy and both No Name and Cambria are taking it easy today--trying to spend every waking hour and asleep hour together. Thanks goes to Aunt Jennifer, My mom, Karen and Jaylean (really dont think I spelled that right) and all of you for your support, prayers and kindness. Greg PS. If this message was sent to you by error please disregard and have no ill feeling towards No Name. PPS ---No Name will probably be named Lydia(not sure if I spelled that right either)

Oh my Goodness, that is probably the funniest email I have ever gotten. I was cracking up by the time I finished it. So, I sent him one back telling him I wanted pics and the next day I got these (from Cambria, with an apology that they took so long! I tought 2 days after the baby was born was pretty quick!):

That's the beautiful Molly girl, I think she likes her sister. There was not one of Alan in the bunch but I bet that he is adoring this little (big) baby, he loves to hold Rowan when he comes to visit. He's really good with babies, I think he will be a big help to his Mama.

Baby No Name does not really look like either of her siblings, I think she looks more like a cross between her Mama and Daddy. I see way more of my sister in that baby's face than in the older 2. She looks fantastic, nice and fat and pink. If you saw pics of Molly right after she was born you would understand why I say that, Molls didn't look quite this good when she was born, I hope that means this baby will be a little easier for Cammi. I gota give her Props too, third baby born at home, I am so proud of her, I could never do it! She is an amazing woman! Love you, Cam! Congrats on this beautiful little blessing, you did a great job! I just have one question: How is she nursing?

He is Growing Up WAY Too Fast!

This is Rowan taking his first steps without anyone's help. This is a little scary. Deacon did not even attempt anything like this until he was 11 months old! Rowan is not even 9 months yet. He will be walking long before his is one at this rate!
