Carissa Meredith

Yesterday my sister Meredith had her baby!!! She was born at 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 and 3/4 inches long. She is so sweet and doesn't like it when you play with her feet. Meredith went into labor at about 2 am and then called my mom and went to the hospital at about 4:45 am. We all went to church and my parents and my nieces and then went home, got dressed, and went to the hospital. The baby was born on Sept 2, 2007 at 12:23 pm. Tanner was so excited because he got to hold a newborn baby and he never had because his sister and sister-in-law live far away. He is a natural and looked so cute with the baby! We got to the hospital about 1:00 pm and stayed till about 5 pm and then went back to take Jonathan and Meredith some of the dinner my mom made. Everyone is happy and healthy and now home!



Until the baby had a name, we called her Lollipop which Anna and Kirsten nicknamed her when we would ask them what a good name for the baby was.








The first week of school went well. ALl of my classes are pretty good and I am dropping my statistics 2 class because the teacher doesn't know how to teach and she's so confusing and so.... I don't want to stress alot! So, I'm going to take it when the head of the math department teaches it, because he's really good!

Tanner loved school! His teacher is great and he likes the school atmosphere! He's is absolutely doing wonderful.

Life in the Fast Lane



my sister Leah and me! Isn't she so cute pregnant! Both her and Meredith are due in less than 3 weeks I think! I can't wait to become a new aunt again. I told Tanner what our family does when new babies come! We all go to the hospital and wait for the baby to be born and get all excited looking at the nursery babies. Then the parents get their special time and then we get to come in and all hold the baby before she goes and is all cleaned up! I already have cute Deacon and Ella, and can't wait to see the next babies! It's so special to see new babies because you know that they are from Heavenly Father and it shows how wonderful His creations are !







Last weekend my sister and brother-in-law had a weekend away from the girls before the new baby comes. So my parents watched Anna and Kirsten. My other sister had her baby shower that weekend, so my mom and I went to that while Tanner and my dad watched them. They were supposed to take naps, but didn't and so Tanner took them to the park up the street and he became the best uncle when he did that.

So when my mom and I came back Tanner and I chilled with the girls and then went shopping since it was tax-free weekend. I found a cute pair of jeans and Tanner found a nice white polo.

Then we went to dinner with my parents and nieces to celebrate my Dad's birthday! That Wednesday, Tanner and I went to the temple and while we were down there we got my dad the conference CDs which he loved.

This week we have been getting ready for school, buying books, permits, and everything else in between!

Lots of work and fun!
