fun in July!

Andrew loves to take care of his little sister. He is so good at talking to her when I am busy.

Ruby is getting so big too fast.



Gilbert and Andrew running through the sprinklers.
Ruby is already a sunbathing beauty.

Andrew wanted to have a sprinkler party with popsicles.

Our family watching the fireworks.

Andrew playing with glow sticks at the firework show.
We were on our way to watch the fireworks for the 24th when we saw the beautiful temple. Andrew always loves to drive past the temple as often as we can.


She loves to take baths.
She is such a good sleeper. Last Tuesday was her 4 week mark and that night she slept from 12:30 -7:00. It was amazing! I haven't slept that good in a LONG time. Thank you Ruby for the sleep.
Andrew loves to squeeze in with Ruby and I whenever he can.

Melinda and Tasi came to visit. We had so much fun with them. We had so much fun we forgot to take more pictures. ;) We were so sad when they had to leave.


Her first bath.
Ruby loves to open her eyes wide and have a conversation. She is the best little listener.
Andrew loves to snuggle however he can with Ruby and I.



Uncle Jake came to visit right when we got home from the hospital.
I love her big brown eyes.

We loved the Logan hospital. They did an exceptional job! I want to have every one of my babies there. Thanks to all the awesome nurses they have there.
Leaving the hospital. There is nothing more fun than taking a wonderful precious thing like this home for the first time.
Gilbert watched Ruby for me while I took a shower in the hospital. They both made themselves comfortable on the bed. :)

Ruby Jane Rowley

Our beautiful little girl.

Ruby is such a good little eater, and sleeper. I can't get enough of her. I am loving every minute I get to spend with my little angel.

Andrew LOVES his little sister. He thinks he needs to be in charge. He wasn't very happy when I explained that I have to feed her. He thinks he needs to do everything for her. He is already a protective older brother. I'm sure he is going to take really good care of her for the rest of her life.
I've always been told how much I look like my mom, and I didn't think I did that much until I saw this picture. My mom has a black and white picture like this just after Matt was born and I almost look identical to her.
Our fun family of four. We couldn't be more blessed!

Pregnancy #2

My due date is tomorrow, July 3, 2011. I started having contractions all day Thursday and thought for sure our little girl was coming, but now it's Saturday and I haven't had anymore contractions since Thursday night. I did have three yesterday, but they weren't much. My Doctor is out of town so maybe she is waiting for him to get back. Here are some pictures through this pregnancy. There really is a little girl in the oven. :) I can't wait to hold her in my arms and kiss her cheeks. I REALLY can't wait until I can give Gilbert a turn to hold her. ;)

3 months pregnant
4 months pregnant
7 months pregnant. Andrew took this picture for me. Isn't his view great? I must look ginormous to him if this is the angle he always sees.
30 weeks
8 months pregnant

This post is mostly for my sister Melinda, since for the second time she hasn't been able to see me really pregnant. I love you sis, and wish you could be here.
