Our Family is Back!

I have not been very good with updates since Ashlyn came along but I am going to really try to stay more recent, especially for our dear Nana and Granddaddy and Grandma and Grandpa. The kids are ready for church and they look so cute. I love coordinating the kids outfits on Sunday. Ashlyn is about 4mos. old in this picture.
Lately, Colton and Sarah love to be close with Jay and/or I when we are hanging out as a family.

Here is the most recent picture of Ashlyn, now just shy of 6mos. old. I took this picture this afternoon, she was so happy after she had a good nap in Jay's arms at Stake Conference.

It is the Oman girls! Colton was our photographer. He is still working on the art of taking a good picture. But he and Sarah love taking pictures non-the less.

Everyone say CHEESE!

Aren't they SO Cute!

Here are just a few recent pictures of the kids and baby Ashlyn. Ashlyn has grown so quickly! Sarah is sporting her adorable pettiskirt with Halloween spirit. She is our little Diva!
Colton is growing up so fast too. He is a big helper with Ashlyn, especially sice he has figured out that he is strong enough to hold her.

Ashlyn is all buddled on a rainy Saturday morning at the soccer fields!

Feet are surely her favorite toy.

Such a precious angel baby! She brings great joy to the house with her contagious giggles. Colton and Sarah both love taking turns to make her laugh. Laughter is so good for the Soul!

Sweet Angel Girl!

Ashlyn Marie asleep again, thank goodness because then Mom could rest too.

One of the very few moments when Ashlyn has her eyes open and it is 11, almost 12 o'clock at night. Her days and nights are definitely a bit mixed up.

Oh, the first bath is never as calming and smooth as you may think it would be or as it goes on the Johnson commercials.

Sweet Angel Girl asleep again. Truly precious and innocent.

The kids are very excited to have Ashlyn home and enjoy holding her when ever they can or whenever she isn't sleeping.

Precious Moments

The Lord has certainly blessed us in such a wonderful way with another child in our family. Children are so precious and certainly the greatest gifts life could bring.

Mommy and her three munchkins!

Proud New Parents!!

Ashlyn is ready to go to her new home and there was great anticipation and excitement for her to come home.

Baby Oman is Here!!

Well the long awaited time has come and we are proud to announce the delivery of ...

BOY or GIRL?

Sweet Angel Girl - Ashlyn Marie at 9lbs. 8oz. and 21 3/4 ins

on April 28th at 11:24am

She was delivered by scheduled c-section with no complications. Both baby and mom are doing well and recovering hoping to be healthy and back to life within a few weeks.

Both Colton and Sarah are so excited for the arrival of a little sister! We can already see what fantastic siblings they will be to their new sister.

As we have more pictures and life gets back to normal I will hopefully keep the blog more up to date. We are excited to share our growing family with each of you.

The miracle of bringing another child into this world is such a great blessing and we appreciate everyone's love, support and excitement for us.

Our New Addition Already has a Birthday

So we are officially 30weeks along.

The baby is extremely active and as usual my belly just keeps growing. I have 10 weeks left but I am hoping the time goes by quickly.
I had an appointment with my doctor today and baby's heart beat sounds great. Sarah loved listening to the baby. Last time Colton got to come and he commented "I didn't know your tummy was so tall." Even the kids have priceless comments about my belly. But we all love hearing the baby's heart beat each month. I love the reassurance that the heart beat brings as if every moment of the day when my insides are being treated like a punching bag was not enough reassurance.:)

But the exciting moment in today's appointment was that we got to schedule the baby's Birthday.

We are scheduled for a repeat c-section on April 28th at 9am. It is really nice to know the exact day and time that we will be blessed with our new baby Oman. I am really looking forward to the experience. There are plenty of bummers with c-section but being able to know ahead of time the day and time is pretty cool.

So the 10 week count down begins until the great surprise is revealed.

What an Amazing Experience

We are so excited about the addition to our family. Pregnancy is going, it has been just long enough that I had forgotten all the fun pregnancy is but it is so worth every moment once you have the little miracle in your arms. What a gift from God!! But I didn't include our due date which is May 1 but we are already planning on the baby entering this beautiful world about a week or so early because the date will be scheduled. We so appreciate all the love and support of our family and friends. I don't know what we would do without all the wonderful people that fill our lives. I will continue to give updates as we get closer.
And here is also a little baby dust, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, for any that are wanting to bring more joy to their families. And for those who don't need any just blow that dust away.
