Babies!


Our beautiful Harper

I can't believe that we have our babies now!  We were pregnant for 9 months, and then all of the sudden we aren't anymore.  It's still surreal.  Blair misses being pregnant, and I do a little, but now we have these beautiful babies!  I thank God everyday for Harper.

This is her favorite place to sleep - on our chests.  We are definitely already trained :)

So sweet!  I just loved this picture of Blair.

My aunt and uncle brought my grandparents over this past weekend to meet their first great-grandchildren for the first time.    

Best buddies, and they don't even know it yet!

4 generations.

Harper is now 12 days old!  Other than the fact that nothing gets done at our house because we have a baby who loves to be held (or maybe I just don't want to put her down!), we are great. Harper sleeps for a few hours at a time at night, so I am not too sleep-deprived!  She is just such a blessing.  I got to assist God in a miracle!  She makes a lot of cute noises in her sleep, and even smiles and laughs, and Cherie told me that it is because angels are talking to her, and I believe it!  Aren't babies the closest things to heaven?

Baby Hayden

My sister and David welcomed their baby boy Hayden Blair into the world shortly after midnight on May 12. Our babies are 4 days apart, how cool is that?! Pictures to follow - I have just been a little busy! We are all doing good!

Happy Birthday, Harper!

Hello world!

On Thursday, May 8, 2008, the world became a better place. Harper Rebecca Six was born! We went to the hospital at 6 that morning, and at 5:56pm, we had our baby girl. She is so beautiful! She weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is such a blessing and we already can't imagine our lives without her.

Justin holding his baby girl. Such an amazing feeling, holding her for the first time. I was completely amazed when I first saw her - no one can prepare you for the emotions you feel, looking at your child's face for the first time, holding her for the first time. A gift from God.

Blair, Justin, and I before the fun began!

Look how sweet.

She really is so beautiful! We were waiting to go home from the hospital.

Proud Daddy
I love watching him with her. We both love to just sit and hold her.

She fell asleep on Papa this afternoon while I was getting ready. I used to sleep on him the same way.

I am completely blown away by how much I love my daughter. I went through something that I never thought I was capable of, and I would go through it again in a heartbeat for her. Justin and I are so in love with her, and we are completely in awe of the fact that she is ours. She has been born into a family that already loves her so much. She is a blessing from heaven above.

We have a lot more pictures that I will post later, but I just wanted to give everyone a glimpse of my baby girl!

Sixlet's making a move!

Just to let everyone know who doesn't already - we are going to the hospital in the morning to have this baby! I was at 3cm this morning and my doctor said she could induce tomorrow if I wanted. She also told Blair that she would induce her too, but Blair said that she didn't want to send our mom to an early grave! Anyway, please keep Justin, Sixlet, & I and our families in your prayers. She is coming tomorrow!

Justin's Cruiser

Justin wanted me to show you this picture of his beloved 1982 Land Cruiser that we took when we went to go take pictures on Sunday. It's the official off-road vehicle of the family- woo hoo!

39 Weeks and Oh-So-Cute Pictures

Blair and I are both 39 weeks this week, and we both see Dr. Robbins tomorrow morning. Today was my last day at work praise the Lord! I am so tired and was so ready to be done. I didn't want to work at all this week, but this way I will have more time to spend at home with the baby. On Sunday afternoon, we had Brittny take some pictures of us to remember our bellies - look at the size of them!! (the bellies, not the beautiful glowing girls ;) ) Blair's moves up and down when she laughs - it's really funny. Maybe mine does too, but Blair's is funnier. :) So, we could be having babies at any time now... just how do you wrap your head around that?? I am about to be responsible for another person's life - my child. When did I turn into an adult? I said a while back that the closer that I got to my due date, the longer it seemed to take. However, now that baby day is right around the corner, I can't help but wonder where the 9 months have gone.

Who ever thought that my sister and I would be having babies at the exact same time?!


David and Blair

What a cute couple!
