Baby Update from Ranell

Hi family!

Well, just to let you know, I will be induced on 11/17 if Natalie doesn't come on her own before then. It's about a week before my due date but she's already measuring big and my other babies have come early, so we feel confident that this is a good thing. I really needed to know a date to plan for where the kids will go and when Grami Tami will come out, and Brian's mom, etc. I am feeling big (although I'm sure no where as big as Rachel!) and tired, but otherwise all is well. I am really excited to meet our newest family member!

Also, we've decided to come to Utah for Christmas so we can meet Benjamin and Lucy, and everyone out there can meet Natalie. We'll be blessing her while we're out there, too, and I'm happy to be able to have some family around for that. We'll be in Utah from 12/25 thru 1/5! Wish me luck travelling with 3 kids (although shockingly, Brian will be there for the entire trip, so I won't be trying to do it alone.) I'm thankful for that.

I need to be better at writing on here and on my own personal blog, but I'm barely getting by doing the minimum necessities of life right now. I'm hoping to do better once this baby is out!

Love to you all!
Ranell

Rachel's blog

I created my family blog today. The title is howeslifewith5.blogspot.com. I think that's it. There's not much there yet, but I'm going to take some photos and post before I go into the hospital on Saturday (I needed that pressure of the last minute to get me to actually get this done!).
