More Baby Pictures

Here are some more pictures of Ember just after she was born being held by grandma, sisters, and her proud father. I would have put a picture of Mike with his eyes open but I don't think such a picture exists!

New Baby

On October 16 we got our new baby girl, Ember Naylene Dalton! We had gone to the doctor for a check up that morning and found that we were dilated to a three so we went ahead and had labor started because I knew I wouldn't last long anyway and was worried that I'd go into labor while Mike was at work and he wouldn't be able to get there in time. It was probably a good thing too because we got to the hospital about noon and she was born at 3:59! She weighed 7 lbs, 1 oz and is 20 inches long. Here are some of the pictures they take in the hospital.






Cassie and Corrina get to be in the delivery room and saw her be born. It was a neat, educational experience for them! Now they won't stop fighting over who gets to hold her! I'm taking 12 weeks off of work, so I get all the holidays off! Now all I have to do is loose this weight! Katie actually asked me if there was still another baby in there!

Great Weekend

This weekend Mike and I had the opportunity to go to the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. We headed to Salt Lake Friday afternoon and stopped at the Provo temple and did sealings and a session. I was making the temple workers nervous with my belly! They kept trying to get me to use the elevator and kept asking me if I was alright! I think they were scared I was going to go into labor right there and ruin the carpet or something! But it was a good way to start the weekend and get into the right spirit for conference.
We stayed with my grandma in Salt Lake and watched the morning session from her house. It was nice to spend some time with family, but it would have been nicer if Uncle Dewy hadn't been snoring through the talks and then trying to blame Grandma! We took the Trax up to Temple Square which was a really good thing because traffic was a nightmare! There were a few protestors outside but not bad. Still I was glad the kids weren't there to witness that part of it. It was a wonderful session with inspirational talks. Afterward, Mike got to attend the priesthood session and hear The Prophet speak. I was glad of this because I got to hear him at Woman's Conference last spring and wanted him to experience the spirit felt when you hear a living prophet speak! It's just not the same when you're at home sitting in your pajamas!
Although I missed the girls, who stayed with grandpa, it was a great experience!
