Today is my sweet sister in law Laura's birthday! Happy Day to you Laura! I hope you are having a fun filled day with your family. I wish I could jump on a plane right now and come and see you guys and have you meet Jillian. I can't wait for the family reunion this summer so we can all get together. 
A lady in our ward, Ruth Ann Daines, invited all the moms that had babies in 2008 to come over for brunch and have a visit a couple of days ago. I think our ward holds the record for births in one year. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that their were about 15 births with one set of twins!! Here are some of the girls that were born with Jillian in the middle.
Here's my little cutie, I just love her....
Jillian, George, Anya, Ethan, twin 1, forgot name, twin 2, Samantha, and I forgot his name too. Oh my, I need to learn their names. Look how cute they all are, this was so fun having them all sit together in a row.
Today has been such a special day. So many friends and family were able to come and witness Jillian's blessing. Aaron gave such a beautiful blessing for her. It is so neat that grandma was in town visiting my mom and dad so she was able to come as well. 
Here is Michael Austin, Jillian's cousin that is 3 months older than her. They live close by each other so I look forward for them growing up together and playing.
Here's our little family. 
Max is really protective over Jillian, it is very cute. He always wants to be by her or know where she is. One time I was in the shower, and Aaron was still sleeping and the baby started crying so Max started licking Aaron's face and that didn't wake him up so then he sat on his face to wake him up to get the baby. 
I had to put a chair by the bassenet so Max could see the baby. 
Ahh...
It was so nice to have my mom come and help me with Jillian. She stayed Friday thru Monday. It's so nice to have her live close by to help out often. Thanks mom. 
My dad came to visit today. I love this picture so much. Jillian was so content in his arms. Thanks mom and dad. 
Here she is! Jillian was born 10 days early and weighed a whopping 9 lbs. 11 oz. on December 1, 2008 at 8:31 pm. Thank goodness I was able to post one photo, I have been having problems uploading any images. I hope to put a lot more on here soon. Jillian had Jaundice when she was born, which is the yellow color seen in the skin of many newborns. It happens when a chemical called bilirubin builds up in the baby's blood. Her bilirubin went really high so on Thursday, Jillian had to undergo photo therapy. She was placed in a special incubator for a day and a half with special lights on her to lower the bilirubin. She was only taken out for feedings and then put back in. The bilirubin dropped really low so finally on Friday afternoon we were able to bring her home!! We love her so much and we can't wait to have you all meet her.
Only 11 more days till my due date!
Max and Aaron.
Here is my handsome brother with his beautiful wife and children.
Hi Eve!! I love this photo.

I had so much fun last week visiting family in Baltimore and Philly! It was a blast. Here are Steve, Erica, Sara, Kate, and Tyler all ready to go trick or treating. 
Here is Sara as Sharpeh (from High School Musical), Kate is minnie mouse, and Tyler is a scary dragon! This was taken at Sara's halloween parade at her school.
Tyler and I at the school waiting for Sara to come out. What a cutie!
