Unreal how much they look alike!

I find it amazing how much more stressed out I feel about the task of raising a daughter than I did with Connor. The other day a friend of ours stopped by and shared a devotion with me and it was as if she were reading my mind. I'll share a portion of it with you:
"I remember when I first felt the love of God. I was at a turning point in my life, sort of: my daughter was a baby and it had suddenly struck me that I had a little girl in my life that I was going to have to teach how to be a woman. Somehow this seemed to be much more daunting that raising a boy. I felt totally inadequate to the task and took the opportunity to give myself a hard time about how I had lived my life to that point. Does it not seem to be easier to see the sin in oneself when one has to think about telling one's children about it someday? Thus one night, I sat in the dark, praying and asking God how on Earth I was going to be a good example for this child."
This passage spoke to me, because it is exactly how I feel. I am so overwhelmed at the task at hand of raising this beautiful little girl to become a beautiful, woman who is respectful of herself and others. I look at her, and see this angel and think about how precious and wonderful she is and I pray that I will never let her down and that she grows up knowing love and knowing the beauty inside her that is my little girl.

She's here!! Our peanut has arrived. Jordyn Kylie Jebber was born on Friday, May 11th 2007 at 1:50pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. - 20 inches long. She looks like Cassie - light brownish hair (some say blonde) and blue eyes. She loves to be a good little girl and doesn't make too much of a fuss.

Cassie is doing better. The first day was really bad for her. A lot of pain, to say the least. The medication is helping though and I think we'll pull through it.

Connor loves the baby. "Baby" is his favorite word right now. You can see him sitting on the hospital bed on Mother's Day on the front page. I'm sure we'll deal with the frustrated side eventually.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers throughout the pregnancy and delivery. We love you all...

Well, tonight was our last night as a threesome, but really it was just a twosome. My poor hubby is deathly ill. When I say deathly ill, I truly mean it. In the 10 years we have been together I have never seen him like this. He has a fever with vomiting and lots of other terrible symptoms. I am just sitting here praying that he is better in the morning so that he can be there next to me to hold my hand and watch Jordyn come into this world and cut the cord, and love on her while they are fixing me all up. They won't let him anywhere near her or me if he is still sick. He would be devastated. Please say a prayer for us! Melinda is just a dream come true for me. She came over and wore Connor out while I finished most of my list. I'm still working on it, but I feel better about what is and isn't done. My Dad and Jenny took me to Hibachi for my last supper ( I sure miss you Patrick). We had a nice visit and my Dad was so emotional reminicing about me being a kid and going off to Kindergarten. He's too cute. God bless my family. I really do have the greatest family on the planet. They are taking so much time off work to take care of Connor and make sure that he is loved on during this tough time. Thanks so much for being here for me this whole pregnancy and for loving all of us so much! Well, I'm off to find more things to do before I pass out. The next time I write I will have a little girl in my arms. Too neat!

It truly is amazing how God works in our life. This past week has been very hard on me physically and emotionally. I am pretty sure I cried 85% of the weekend. It feels as though all of my patience has run dry and Monday was just torture for me. Connor wined practically the whole day because he wanted to go outside and play(thanks Dad), but it is so hard for me to do that because 1) I have the worst cramp in my right foot that will not go away and 2) I have so much to do still before Friday. I try and get Connor out a bit each day, but later on in the afternoon, because once we're out it is torture coming back in. Anyhow, just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore Marissa called and asked me to come pick her up while her car was getting an oil change. I know I heard angels singing. She is awesome, and I really don't think she understands how much she really helped. She played with Connor and wore him out while I got some stuff done and showered. It was fantastic. Then, Melinda came over and watched Connor while Patrick and I went to dinner. She has been such a huge help for us and we love her bunches. Then as Tuesday morning was shaping up to be a repeat of Wine with me Monday, my Dad stopped by completely unexpectedly and asked to take Connor for a couple hours while he ran his errands. Holy Cow was I elated. I was able to get some cleaning done and I sat and enjoyed a glass of water on the couch. I really cannot stress enough how great my family is. They have no idea how much their little efforts really mean to me, and I just want to thank them and tell them how wonderful they are! And God, thank you for these wonderful people!

set up crib
got bedding put on
took all paint out of her room
cleaned out her closet
washed windows in Jordyn's room and upstairs

Cassie:
Cooked the following for Patrick and Connor to keep in the freezer so they have food to eat while I am recovering:
1 batch of turkey stroganoff
2 batches of sloppy joes
a tray of spinach lasagna rolls
made up burgers stuffed with mozzarella and
burgers stuffed with feta
Greek Chicken pesto
washed bedding
cleaned my bedroom and put all the clothes away

Oh yeah
We also went and saw Spider Man 3 so Patrick would get to see it in the theatre!
We still have stuff to do, so I am hoping to at least get all the laundry done and the house cleaned before Friday.

Have you ever had a moment of insanity. You know, one of those moments when afterwards you thought to yourself "what the heck was I thinking?" Well, I had TWO of those today. I honestly cannot remember the last time I did something just for me. For no other reason than just because. For a fleeting moment today I thought wow, someone actually understands, I knew it! No, silly me...What was I thinking?

I don't know if I'm biased, but could this not totally be a Pepsi Ad?

Just for the record, he's not drinking a Pepsi. It was lemonade!

And I love him loving Spring!


We're all doing good. Not much has been crossed off the list. If I had a couple hours without Connor yelling at me I would be able to get so much more done. Maybe today I will have some time. :)
