McKenzie Noel Maxfield has arrived!!!!
She was born Wednesday November 26, 2008
at 9:02 AM She was born at 36 weeks and 1 day gestation so was about 4 weeks early
She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long.
She is absolutely perfect and didn't need the NICU at all. She is amazing!

Night out with Mark!
This weekend Mark took me to watch Twilight. We both didn't like it, they really did some wierd things. I'll just stick to reading the books and imagining it myself!
It was soooo nice to get to go out with Mark. It's been so long since we've been on a date. And since it will probably be a while before we get to go out on one again at least without the baby it was nice to reconnect without the kids around. A great big THANKS to Natalie and James and Linda and Roger for watching the kids.

6 weeks and counting!
Ok so I had my appointment on Tuesday and was exactly 34 weeks along. Yeah I'm almost there. Well my doctor said that I was measuring small but that I had grown since last time. I was measuring only 32 weeks. So he wanted me to get another ultrasound. I went in this morning to get my ultrasound. I was excited to get one this far along so we took a DVD with us. Unfortunately their machine wasn't working so I didn't get any pictures of her. BUT...
I was measuring at 35 weeks and 3 days!!!! Everything I've read recently says that the baby at this stage (34 weeks) should weigh about 4-4.5 lbs. Based on her measurments today she is 5-5.5 lbs!!!
I've been so frustrated when people keep telling me that I am small for how far along I am. Well the other day one of my friends in the ward was telling me that and I said oh, it's because I'm carrying her all in my back. She looked behind me and said "Oh yeah, you do look pregnant from behind!" At first I was like OMG, but I really do!
I'm so excited for this little girl to get here! We still need to pull out the crib to see if we have all the parts, maybe a good weekend project for Mark huh! But I've made nursing covers, burp cloths, and car seat covers. There's probably a lot more I need to do but for now I'm glad that my kids are excited and that we are finally getting the next little one to add to our wonderful family.
Happy Holidays everyone and enjoy the season!

TIME FLIES!!!
7 weeks left!
As the beginning of November came I realized that this little girl is supposed to be here NEXT MONTH!!! As LONG as the pregnancy seems sometimes I can't believe that it's time for her to be here so soon. I can't wait to get to know her and play with her, McKenzie Noel Maxfield is on her way!!
That means there is also 7 weeks before Paul and Candy come home for Christmas. About 8 weeks until my parents and at least some of my siblings come and Mark's sister Anna is coming around New Years too!
Unfortunately and Fortunately that also means there is only 7 weeks and 3 days until Christmas!!! We are excited for the holiday. I can't wait to get my decorations up since that is the one holiday that I have Oodles of things to decorate the house with! But it also means that I need to have my Christmas shopping done ASAP and since I haven't started I think we're in trouble! Hopefully McKenzie will come early enough to let me get more done after she comes before the holiday is upon us.
Happy Holiday Season to everyone and God Bless you all. We love you!

Halloween
This year for Halloween the kids were Marines 0313, LAV Crewmen to be exact. Just like daddy! We borrowed Linda's Garden Wagon and made them an LAV.
Finished LAV
They had a parade at School and they ended up being the stars!
Going down the Halls you would hear everyone saying oh, how cute etc. Then when Jordan and Moriah would come by, pulled by Mark, the people would Cheer and were giving them Hi fives and the kids thought it was great.
We didn't do much trick or treating but went around to friends houses, and Grandparents.
The kids really had a great time and lucky for me didn't get too much candy so their candy is already gone!!!
