We are so happy to introduce the newest member of our family, Emeline Jo Iverson. She was born this morning at 6:20am and weighed in at 7lbs 7oz., 19.5 inches long (not too shabby for a babe born three weeks early! Everything went very well and we feel so blessed to add this happy healthy bundle to our little corner of the world!

The girls are so excited about their little sister. Sabrina could not wait to get her hands on Eme while Anabelle was much more hesitant, but in awe. The brought sweet gifts for Emeline and mommy. Our first shot of our expanded family!


FOr those of you who played the name game, Jamie Durham guessed correctly! :) GO Jay!

Now off to get some sleep!

Clue 5

When our jellybean is a bit older, she will love that there is a children's book with her name in the title!

Clue #4

The first name is pre 1950's and has never reached the SSA's (social security administrations) top 100.

Clue #3

No repeats :) We did not choose a first name that begins with an "A" or an "S" :)

Name game, Clue #2

Ok, heres clue number 2!

Our sweet babe shares her name with a song title and a recording artist.

THE NAME GAME BEGINS!!!

SO i have tried to do an update post on our lives lately a couple times, but to no avail so instead I will tackle that another day and announce the beginning of round three of the NAME GAME!!!

For those of you who still read the blog and may have missed out on the other two rounds, heres the deal. With each child, at the end of the pregnancy, given out clues to the name of our child and welcomed guesses via the blog or Facebook with the winner receiving a small prize. The clues will be about the first and middle names and you must guess both correctly to win. We wont be revealing the name until Jellybean is born, but will keep track of the winner and will get out the prize after she's born.

I'll keep a running list of the clues on the side of the blog for easy access. :)

So drumroll please:

Clue #!: The first and middle names together have a total of 9 letters.

Good luck and happy guessing! :)

Busy at work

hehehe How could I resist?!?

We are just DYING for Anabelle to get potty trained sooner rather than later and she shows NO interest so the other night we plunked her on the throne with multiple sippy cup refills and kept her entertained there as long as we could. She was happy as a clam to have books read to her and to have the undivided attention of one of us for over an hour. Towards the end we gave in and let her play the "cake game" on daddys phone while daddy got some work done. Cute photo op...but sad to report no success this time!
