“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Katelynn Nicole McNamee is here!

February 12, 2008...
Katelynn made her way into the world today! All 8 lbs 12 oz, 21" of her! This is Curt & Aimee's (Curt is Stann's brother - #2 of the 7) 4th child, my 2nd niece on the McNamee's side! (I have only 2 other nieces on the Hammons' side...there's a great influx of only male children produced by my sisters...!)
She's a total cute little chunk, isn't she?! I can say chunk, because believe it or not, my boys were smaller than she is...(Matt 8lbs 6oz, Josh 7lbs 4oz AND she's a couple weeks early believe it or not!) Aimee (my SIL) did great and is now getting some much deserved rest. I couldn't make it down there today (sigh) we've all got colds up here....!
(SIDE NOTE: Argh! Me and my two boys....we're going on very little sleep and trying to get better quickly so we can go visit! (Vitamin C rounds for everyone!) Seeing her pic makes me want another baby. (BIG sigh) Know of anyone who's looking to place a child??! (LOL - only sorta kidding...wouldn't turn anyone down!) And she totally makes me want another...even tho' the newborn stage is BY FAR...not my fave! I just think Stann deserves a girl. Plus I just want a daughter, so I'm not so outnumbered - and think of all the fun with dresses! (At least until she's 4 and has her own opinion!)
Anyways....she's a cutie and a keeper and we're very lucky to haver her in our fam! And I'm now totally chomping at the bit for our 3rd....(PREFERABLY A GIRL!) Although it'd probably be better to wait until Stann figures out what he wants to do for work BESIDES floorlaying - as that business has really started to deteriorate!! But keep us in your prayers tho' - 'Cuz as everyone knows, there's NEVER a good time to have another child! Happy Almost V-Day!
