{ According to Us }

ahem. I have had every intention of updating this here blog just about every day. Needless to say that hasn't happened. Obviously. Without further ado... First Dr. Terry hired my replacement and I'm currently training her. She is going to do a wonderful job!  It is truly bitter sweet, but I can't wait to experience being a stay at home mom (and going back to school)! Second Chris so sweetly got us Michael Buble tickets for Christmas and we finally got to enjoy that present. Sorry to say that I didn't take any pictures so I stole this one. Seriously people, THE BEST live show I have ever seen. Third Baby Barber Open House I have a secret obsession with planning and throwing parties. I wish I could get paid to do it. I also wish that I had infinite amounts of money so I could do everything that I see in my head.  Here is a little peak at some of the food and decor. The plan was to have the open house in the backyard but the weather didn't want to cooperate. I be...

Evan Lloyd Gallant Born March 10th, 2010 @ 1:04 a.m. Weight: 7 lbs 9 oz. 21 1/2 in. Dana invited me up to Idaho so I could witness the birth of this handsome little guy. She made it look so easy! I'm pretty sure if every delivery was that easy, we would all have a million kids. I also got to take a bunch of pictures (obviously)  Here's their new family picture! Jonas meeting his new little brother for the first time. I'm not sure he knew what to think about him. Grandpa & Evan Proud Grandma Everyone wants to know how I now feel about having a baby. Well, pretty much the same as before!  Thanks Dana & Pete for letting me be there for such a beautiful experience.

Oh, but with such a good purpose! Don't think you are going to see too many of this kind of picture. Me and my "ready to pop" sister. In this picture Dana is 39 & I'm  26 weeks.  Even though I knew a part of being pregnant was to gain a bit a weight and everyone talks about your growing belly. I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to look at myself in the mirror and be okay with having my stomach getting bigger and bigger. It's weird. You live your whole life trying to have a flat stomach and now it's okay to let it "all hang out". It's just something I didn't think I would struggle with. Oh well. The price we pay to one day hold that bundle of joy in your arms.

Not sure why I haven't done this yet, but better late than never. Chris has a new blog that he has been doing for a while. If you wanna know a bit more about my beloved, check it out. We will love you forever if you put a link on your blogs to help spread the word :) http://www.unnervedonline.com/

I am so thrilled that Bj & Kristin let me take the triplets pictures! I had such a blast playing catch up with Kristin while I snapped some photos of these little sweethearts. I have to explain to you why I love this picture so much. Can you see that Milley is showing you three fingers? Like she is saying, yeah, there are three of us. I just thought it was kinda funny.

That's right. Here is my current like list... and sometimes love. One This one isn't a like, it's a love of course. Sorry it isn't the best picture (no scanner) but can you tell that it looks like she has her finger up her nose. BTW, we are at 21 weeks. Half way done! Two His new album.  Not only for the fact that We are heading to his concert in March (yipee!) but that he covers a song from one of my most favorite movies. All I do is dream of you from Singing in the rain. Three Plus I absolutely adore Zooey Deschanel. Four Please, don't think I'm weird or a dork. I see a lot of frames everyday and I wants something a bit different. I think I might be able to pull off these Lilly Pulitzer frames if they were only available in Utah. Will see If I can get the sales rep. to pull some strings so I can get these bad boys. Five I haven't had to buy a single piece of maternity clothing because I got this here band.  Tell you what girls, this is a must...

We finally made it over to BJ & Kristin's to meet our new nieces. They are all home and doing excellent.  Milley is still on oxygen but might be off by this Friday. I have arranged to take the girls pictures when she is off the oxygen and I can't tell you how extremely excited I am to do it. I would like to introduce you all to the most beautiful little (and I mean little) girls. Maddison Marley Milley I realized that our little girl will be in the same grade as these 3! So, needless to say we will not be naming our girl an "M" name. I wouldn't want to confuse anyone ;) I'm not sure why, but we are keeping the name a secret. Here are her initials: JLB Take a guess if you want, but I won't tell you (on here at least) if you are right or wrong.
