Fun Pics

Here is Jannika doing her favorite thing! She always wants to hold the baby and is constantly singing to her. Kirsten likes to hold her too but she doesn't hold her long enough for me to get a picture. She always says to me, "Mommy, can I hold Carisha?" (That's how she says the baby's name!) Then she holds her for a second and slowly and softly gives her a kiss on the forehead. It is so cute!
My sweet little Claire-Bear.

We just got a swing set and the kids LOVE it. Our backyard was so boring before so now they can go out and play all they want. Yay! P.S. Don't ever buy a swing set from Wal-mart, they are pretty cheap. Believe it or not this one is from K-mart and it is much better.

It's a Girl!

Here is our sweet little baby girl. We named her Clarissa Vay Beagley. Clarissa is a family name on my side and Vay is Kyle's grandma's name. She was born on Saturday morning just after midnight, April 5! I'm not due until the 20th but she is full term and beautiful and healthy! She weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. Kirsten had come really fast so we were afraid that this baby would come even faster so I was a little worried about how my labor would go. I had just gone about my regular day on Friday and then I started to bleed a little bit so we decided to go to the hospital and get checked. We kept thinking they would probably send us home since I wasn't feeling any contractions. The monitor was picking up contractions and I was progressing so they decided to keep us! We went in at 6 pm and she was born just after midnight. It was so strange to be in the hospital in labor and not be in panic mode like with our other kids. It was just calm as we sat and waited for my body to progress more. It was a great labor! Thanks to Grandma Gayle and Aunt Megan for watching our kids and now my mom is staying with us until Friday. We are so blessed to have great family to help us.

Jannika is in love with this baby. She wants to hold her all the time. What a great big sister!
