Counting one of our many blessings!

Mark gave little miss Camilla Anjanae Freeman a name and blessing at mom and dad's ward last sunday. It was a marvelous, beautiful, uplifting and spiritual experince. It was so nice to have so much family around. Afterwards we enjoyed sloppy joes, games and one anothers company on the farm. Cami slept through the party. She was very pretty in the dress and shoes inherited from me which I got from Nana. I also was able to stratch my creative itch and made her a cute bow.

Cami is growing up so very fast. She already has her own blog! I kinda felt like not too many people look at this blog and so if you do rather than having me fill up the family blog and have other people comment there- - please go to http://www.canjanae.blogspot.com/ for updates. Thanks!
Elisabeth

our baby

For anyone that doesn't know yet, It's a boy! Yay! We're building our own little army of Helamen over here. Were excited.
The other day I was singing the "one little, two little, three little Indians song" and imaginig me making a movie with my home movies some day....with 12 little boys in it.............anyway it was funny to me to think...will we always be a family of little boys?

So, after a not so fun experience of dealing with Kaiser stuff the last month I finally got in for an ultrasound monday. (Mom went with me this time) They did send me home with a picture of her cute face, but it isn't very good so I won't bother posting it. Right before the tech took that shot we watched her open her eyes and look right at us (so it seemed) blink a few times and shut them again. I thought it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen- a cute little nose and little lips- it only lasted seconds. This tech wasn't so fun as the last one and was more into measuring head, abdomen, thigh bones and placenta etc. Still pretty neat. After all was said and done they guestimated her at 7 lbs 4oz though Annie says they can be off up to as much as 2 lbs either way. The next day at my doctor's apt, where I actually saw my doctor for the maybe third time- she told me everything looked great. (She had ordered the ultrasound because I hadn't gained any weight and was "measuring small" -that was a month ago) I do not measure small anything and don't fit into my overalls anymore without unsnapping the sides. Oh, I also learned that I am dilated to a 2. I know that nothing of consequence could happen for weeks but it is still exciting to know that something is around the corner and in fact is going to happen. I am so grateful for little miracles!
