Summer...

We are enjoying the summer weather...finally. It is so nice outside and we have been enjoying taking walks and playing outside. Katie and I are heading to Las Vegas on Friday. It will be her first plane ride. I hope she does well! We are going to a Radford Girls Reunion with my mom and sisters and aunts and cousins. It will be a blast!

Katie...

Katie on her blessing day. Her dad gave her a beautiful blessing and it was so fun to have all of our family there. She was really good during the blessing, too! Good girl. This is the dress that I was blessed in. My Grandma Shumway crocheted it for me. There is a little pink slip under it. I liked that it wasn't all white, and it has a touch of pink. My friend gave me the bracelet for her to wear!

I just love this sweet look on her face. This outfit subsequently got pooped on and had to be changed about ten minutes after it was put on her. Good job!

This baby loves her daddy and he loves her. They are so cute together. This is going to be a major daddy's girl!

Update...

We are still here. I haven't taken the time to post anything in a while, so I thought I had better get some pictures on here. I have had lots of people asking for them, so here they are. Katie is doing great. She is a great baby. She will sleep for 6 or 7 hours each night, so we really like that. She is getting too big too fast!

Dad...

Brady is the best dad I have ever seen. He loves his baby girl so much. He loves to sit and cuddle her and talk to her and tell her how much we love her. He loves to feed her and burp her and dress her and everything. It makes it easy for me to leave her with him for a hour because I know she is in the best possible hands. She is so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful father. I am so grateful that my child has such a wonderful man for a father. Someone who is so unselfish and is a worthy priesthood holder. We are lucky to have him!

Introducing...

We are excited to introduce Katie Rae Bennett. She was born on April 12 at 5:28 pm. She was 7lbs 9oz and 20" long. We are so excited to have her here! The doctor broke my water at 8am and started me on Pitocin. That really got the contractions going. I got my epidural about an hour later. They had to try it twice. The first time hurt like you wouldn't believe and apparently that isn't supposed to happen! He tried it again and it was fine the second time. However, it did stop working on my right side by the time I was fully dilated. That was a treat. Katie was caught on my pelvis and her head got pretty banged up. I also got banged up and ended up with almost 30 stitches to prove it! All that aside, though, it went faster than I thought it would and we are home now. I actually feel better than I thought I would after all that. We think we will keep her.

Oh Baby!

Well, the day has finally arrived. I saw the doctor today and he agreed to induce me tomorrow. He will be out of the office all week next week (right when I am due!) so he will start me in the morning. He told me he wanted to be there himself instead of his on-call doctor to deliver me since he had so much time invested in getting me pregnant in the first place and he would be really disappointed to miss it! I thought that was very sweet of him. It is funny to think that it has been nearly four years of trying with lots of drugs, money, procedures, more money, more time and on and on. We are so excited to finally have her here. I will get some pics posted as soon as I have them! We are hoping for a quick and easy delivery (Doc thinks it will be) and hope to be home by Monday....but, never say never!
