the many faces of Abbey

These are some of my favorite faces that Abbey has made over the last 2 weeks of her whole little life.
I love that she is making a face. I'm kissing her like 24/7 and I'm always wondering what must be going through her head.
This is such a James/Jason face. I can not count how many times I've seen this face from either of them.
We don't have a closet full of stuffed animals to get the "hidden E.T." picture - but hey a mountain of laundry is almost as good right?

She made this face at only 1 day old. I think she was crying and I was too interested in watching her to find out what she needed (she probably just wanted more kisses...)

Another Jason/James face. This is how Jason looks right before he cries... yeah right. His mom doesn't call him "cardboard boy" for nothing (Jason can be quite apathetic at times).


So after looking at all these pictures I keep asking myself - are these faces learned or genetically programmed into her DNA? Here is Paige & James - Paige usually smiles, but James never makes a straight face.
Could it be that they learned this from their parents?

Or does it come from further down the line (My dad aka "Silly Grandpa)?

Oh I want to see her and eat her. I am so baby hungry. She is so darn cute. I need more advance notice of when you are coming to Utah so that I can catch up with you. My kids are wearing me out. I need to hang with the girls.

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

Image
The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we...

Sunday's child...

Image
Gavin or Abbey ? Barring any miracles... our new baby is scheduled to arrive on Sept 21st - not sure the approximate time. But this would make Buchanan Baby #3 a Sunday's child. I always liked the days of the week child poem and it will be interesting to see if it plays out with the personality of our new addition. Does it apply to the already established members of our family? Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. Paige Paige was born on July 9 th - she is a Tuesday's Child. Paige is full of grace . Grace means: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic. A pleasing appearance. Ease and suppleness of movement or bearing. Paige is charming and has possesses numerous wonderful traits. J...

a Christmas wish answered... come September

Image
So anyone who hasn't heard yet... yes. The Buchanan's are going to have a baby come this September. I'm not sure how it happened (yeah. I get the mechanics... I do have 2 kids) - But it's just that Jason & I don't really see too much of each other and after an exausting day of work, school, being on call, preschool, doing homework, research for thesis, paying bills, sewing group, YW, and kids, all you really have energy for is sleep. So I really think I give credit to Paige for this one. She has put in countless hours praying, wishing, and begging for a baby for the longest time. All her hard work millions of wishes on stars and countless letters to Santa apparently paid off. (She's got a lot of clout with the bearded fella - so if you want something for next year you might want to bribe her early to include it in her letter(s)). That's it... I'm eight weeks and thrilled. We'll keep praying that everything goes smoothly & the baby is heal...
