It's A BOY!!!

It's a BOY!!

I can't believe I just typed that word!! 

A boy, Oh boy, a boy!!

Meet Park Harold Currie, born February 3rd 2012 at 4:59am, weighing eight pounds and twenty inches long.

This little boy is welcomed with love into this all girl family. He is a perfect gift from our Heavenly Father. I can't wait to see his personality and all the joy he will bring to this family. I think it's safe to say that he completes the Currie family!! Before he was born Mommy said four was it, boy or girl, four is a good number for this family.

Park's birth story:
I was scheduled to be induced February 3rd at 6am, which was crazy to me that I had to be induced with my fourth child!!! Given my history with the girls we all thought I would have him early. So anyways, I am scheduled to be induced and the night before I was getting ready for bed and my water starts leaking. Drip, drip, drip. Just like it did with Camdyn and Rylan. About 20 minutes later, around 11:30 pm I started having contractions every 10 minutes. When we arrived at the hospital I was having contractions every 6 minutes and at 1 am I was 5 cm dilated. Around 2:30 am I got my epidural (yippee!!), at 3:50 am I was 8 cm dilated. At 4:30 am I was feeling the pressure so my nurse set up for delivery and called the OB. I pushed for 6 minutes and Brent helped deliver him and pulled him out! It was an exciting moment to finally find out if this baby was a boy or girl!! He is perfect in every way!!

The sad part is that our camera was not working!! It was working the night before and when Brent tried to turn it on during delivery the camera kept saying the card was not accessible!! People say that the more kids you have the less pictures you take of them....well than we are starting this fourth child off on the right foot!!

The girls love him, Brynn and Camdyn fight over who gets to hold him and Rylan goes on about her business as usual. He is 10 days old, weighs eight pounds three ounces and is a little sweet heart!! He is such a good baby, a great eater and wonderful sleeper. I think we'll keep him!!

Christmas

36 weeks and A Growing Family

As I get closer to my due date, I wonder how this new little person will fit into our family. I am really enjoying these three precious girls.

Will we add another girl to our family??

Will we have a boy that is completely different from what we know??

Obviously all my girls have different personalities and characteristics but a boy is just different. A good different, but one we may or may not ever get to experience! I am excited to find out!!

As we've watched over the last 3 years, Brynn and Camdyn have really grown to be the best of friends....Rylan has managed to squeeze herself into their duo. She is accepted, most of the time, and I know that it will get better and better as she gets older.

Here are pictures of my growing belly at 36 weeks, gaining a total of 30 pounds so far, I dare say that this will be my "biggest" pregnancy. (I gained 30 with Brynn, 22 with Camdyn, and 25 with Rylan). This pregnancy feels the biggest to me, in that my stomach sticks out further than any of the others did. I still Crossfit, and lately make all the male coaches extremely nervous that I am going to go into labor during their class!! I was 2-3 cm dilated, and 70% effaced at my 36 week appointment. I also had a sonogram and they predicted the baby's current weight at 6lbs 9oz!! I dare say that this could be my biggest baby as well...depending on when I deliver!! Baby was head down and we could see a little bit of hair on it's head. This baby reminded me of Rylan the way it was sucking it's lips (this is what Rylan does when she gets tired), so precious!! I am trying to soak in these last few days/weeks of pregnancy, as this is probably my last one!!

Mommy's prediction is a BOY!! That was my first "feeling".




The results are in from the gender poll: 

• 75% boy
• 25% girl

Pre-School Christmas Program

Brynn's pre-school had a Christmas program this morning. They memorized scripture and sang some Christmas songs. Brynn didn't miss a beat. Here are some videos:

Santa, Baby

We went to a birthday party and Santa made an appearance! All the kids were SO EXCITED!! Santa was so patient with all the kids, he was telling them about his magic keys and then read them some Christmas books. The kids were sure to ask him lots and lots of questions. Then they all got to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Both Camdyn and Brynn got a little flustered when it was their turn. Camdyn was speechless and couldn't even name one toy she wanted, Brynn told him she wanted Dora!! Dora?!? I mean sure she likes Dora, but not THAT much, that is not her number one favorite thing she would want for Christmas!! Rylan sat on his lap for the group picture and was a little unsure, but no tears were shed!
