Newborn pictures

A good friend from our ward who is a photographer came and took pictures of McKinley. She sent me one picture while she is working on editing the rest. She is so cute!!

McKinley Brooke

McKinley Brooke Hubbs was born on Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 9:35 am by VBAC!! She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 3/4 inches long.

Everything went great and we are now settling into life at home with 3 kids.

37 Weeks!!

Well, I haven't updated this blog for a long time. I wanted to update with Christmas and all of the other holiday stuff but our computer isn't cooperating and I can't post pictures right now and that's not very fun so that will have to wait. But I thought I should update briefly before I have this baby.

I'm 37 weeks now. I'm pretty uncomfortable and very ready. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and I'm 2 cm and 75% effaced. Last week I was 1 cm and 25% effaced so I have made some decent progress. I hope that means I don't have too much longer. The kids are so excited. Everyday Brycen asks me if the baby has come out yet. He is so excited to hold her and show her his toys. Leah always wants to feel the baby kick. She likes to use my belly as a pillow and thinks it's funny when the baby kicks her. We are all so excited to meet the newest member of our family!!

I just had to post this picture. Leah finally has enough hair for pigtails. Yay!!

Sorry it's taken me so long to post these. Our internet has been acting up and I've been sick for a week.

Surprise!!!

We had another ultrasound yesterday. From what they could see, the baby looked good. It was very stubborn and stayed curled in a ball most of the time so I have to go back next week for another ultrasound. But we got a surprise. The baby is no longer a boy. It's a GIRL!! We're still in shock but we are excited too.

A Smile

Leah always makes me smile even when she's doing something naughty.

Yes, all those clothes were nicely folded in the basket but how can you get mad at a face like that? :-)

A Funeral & The Beach

Last week, Jeff's grandma passed away so we headed to California for the funeral. It was a nice service and it was fun to see some of Jeff's extended family that we hadn't seen in a while. After that we stayed a few extra days and went to the beach. We had a really fun time. We found a 4 star hotel on Priceline.com for $45 a night right off the beach. Brycen had been asking to go to the beach for a long time but of course once we got there he was terrified of the water and only wanted to play in the sand. Leah loved it and kept trying to go out into the water as far as she could.

After that we rode the Auto Ferry to Balboa Island. It's this really cool boat that you drive your car on and it takes you across the water to the island.

Our view from the boat.

Then we drove by Jeff's childhood home in Costa Mesa. He hadn't been back since he moved when he was 9 years old. Then we realized he only lived 10 minutes from Disneyland so we drove down there and went to DownTown Disney and had lunch. It was a very busy, but fun trip and we hope to go back soon.
