6 DAYS OLD!!!!

LILLY JANE MORRILL was born on Oct 29th @ 2:39 pm. She weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She is a great baby. She is still a litte bit jaundice and has to be in the bili lights, which is a really difficult thing because she is such a wiggly baby. She has to have these eye sheilds on and she usually wigglies right out of them. Other than that she is great. Hannah is such a good baby sitter already. Ethan is trying but he is a typicaly boy and has too much to do. Sorry no pictures this time for some reason I can't get it to download Sorry...

STILL NO BABY

So here we are a week and a half later and still no baby. I have been to the hospital once but they sent my home. So here I am waiting. One thing that is for sure is that if she doesn't decided to come in the next 2 days then on Wednesday we will have her. My doctor is going to induce me on wednesday the 29th. I was beginning to think that I would be pregnant forever, or at least it feels that way. Anyway I will let you know when the big time arrives.

PATIENTLY WAITING!!!!

Okay so I am trying to patiently wait. Yesterday I got checked by one of the doctors at the clinic. I am dialated to 3cm. My contraction were 21 minutes apart, so Phyl and I are thinking that we will be headed over the mountain at any time. Wrong!! My contractions all of a sudden stop(how rude). So here I am 24 hours later patiently waiting for something to happen. It may be good that I didn't go into labor last night. My doctor is deer hunting in Moab. Well I will keep you all in tough.

Ryan Morrill is Engaged

Yes, it is true. Ryan Morrill is getting married. Can you believe it?? He brought Ginny over to meet us last weekend. She is very nice and cute. She is a perfect match for Ryan. I think they make a great couple. They have set the date for March 13th but I am actually hoping that they move it up.

Hey just an update on the pregnancy. I am 34 weeks and counting. I am hoping that in the next 3-4 weeks we will have this baby. I know that I am definately ready.

Happy 7th

Today was my baby girls 7th birthday. Geez that makes me feel really old. She had a great time. Yesterday she had her 1st friend party. It actually went very well, better than I thought it would. And then today Hannah had her usual family party. It was all good and she loved every minute of it.
Sundays are supposed to be realitively calm, Right. Well not today. First we went to church, and going at 9:00 am is still a bit of a struggle for me, then it was Hannah's family party and then when that was over, Ethan decided to get sick. He had a fever of 102.5(not good). So I called a friend to work for me tomorrow and she said that the PA from our clinic was on his way to the clinic (she is an MA there so she knew he was being paged). I decided to take him in because his fever she so high and not going down. So at 10.00pm I took Ethan to the clinic to find out that he has tonsilitis. Great!! Poor little guy had to have a shot and he didn't even flinch. So here I am waiting patiently for him to fall asleep. Hopefully he will sleep through the night. No promises I am sure.

SCHOOL DAYS

Thursday was the lst day of school. Hannah is in 1st grade and Ethan is in Kindergarten. Hannah was so excited she could hardly go to sleep the night before and Ethan (I think) was nervous. He doesn't like changed very well so he hasn't been acting very well. He gets very attached to me when things are changing. He just wants me to hug him. He will come and give me a hug for no reason, I think it is to settle his own nerves but I don't mind. Hannah got her hair done for school so now she looks even older than she did.

Shirley said, "It's your turn."

I asked Shirley a few days ago why she hasn't posted and she told me it was my turn.

We have been both very busy with work, kids, reunions, ect., I have been trying to beat the rain

and get hay put up. It seems like everytime I get a field ready we end up racing to get it done

before the rain ruins it.



Speaking of hay, it is going to be very high this year, we are probably going to pay aroun 200$ a ton which is triple what it was about 5 or 6 years ago. I know the world is trying to go green but it is putting many ranchers and farmers in a tight spot. One of the main reasons hay, milk, meat, and alot more things is so high is from all the corn demands to make ethanol which supposedly puts off les polution. Ethanol is still very high priced and our government (well most of it) is pushing for more ethanol producing plants. We are starting to see a lack of hay sales where we go and is going to get worse. Right now it takes us around 1000$ dollars to fill one of our trucks with fuel which of course is driving up the cost of hay also.



Enough of that boring Phyl grumbling.



Shirley is doing well, I think she is on week 24 or 25 of her pregnancy and every thing is doing well with the baby. Hannah and Ethan are doing good also, Ethan turned five last month. They are both taking swimming lessons here in Bicknell, they go to a daycare three days a week and to Shirley's mom's the other two days. It sure has been nice having Janet and her husband Jimmy here in Loa they are a great help and teach my kids alot.

Here is a few pictures and if I can figure out how to put a caption with them I will.
