FOUR, TWO & NEW

New Years Eve Mattox starting to throw up again already having the flu on Monday. So we stayed home and watched movies. Around midnight Mommy and Kali caught the flu all night long. Troy was so great and took care of all of us, luckily Mattox had stopped. It continued to the next day but the worst was over and then Daddy got it. That night Mattox started up again sparatically. So I cleaned him up and then put him and myself to bed, exhausted from the night before. Then they came at 3:00 in the morning. CONTRACTIONS! I was so tired and in major denial, my due date was Jan. 21, I tried to go back to sleep but no such luck it was for real. She came at 7:45am. Weighing in at 6lbs and15oz, Yes! A small baby! Welcome Ava Ashley Turner.

Troy was such a trooper and thankfully his flu didn't last as long. So does the flu bring on contractions? Apparantly dehydration does.

Baby on the Way!

Some fun pictures my cousin Jenny took of the kids and I.

The Littlest Nutcracker

Kali's first performance! Trix puts on the Littlest Nutcracker for all the ballerinas to dance in while all their family came to watch. When we first sat down in the audience I showed Kali the stage and told her that she was going to get to dance on that stage. She was already a little irritated about the itchy costume and told me she didn't want to dance, as little tears rolled down her cheeks. So I told her she didn't have to dance on the stage and we could just watch. Then the lights went down and the curtains opened up revealing the beautiful dancers and magical Christmas scene. Kali sat up right and moved to the end of the chair and looked at me and told me that she changed her mind and did want to dance on the stage. She sat and watched until it was our groups turn. She did a great job.
