Mommy spending some time with Baby Emma.



Welcome to ~Emma Jane Quakenbush~ Born at 3:29 P.M. 9 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. 22 1/2 inches long.



Daddy and Emma.

I will post more later, we have visiters. LOL ;~)

9:40a.m. ~ They just turned Tasha's IV up as high as it can go to prepare her for an epidural. Then they are ready to break her water. She's getting a little bit frustrated at this point. We were hoping to be further along, but once her water is broke, she always progresses quickly. We value your prayers.

Maybe a little after lunch????????????????????????

Tasha is doing okay, we finally fished all the paperwork about 2:00 A.M. and by 4:00 Am she was having heavy contractions every 2 to 3 minutes. So much for getting any sleep, Poor thing, she is SOOO tired. Things are progressing, not as fast as we would like, but at least we are moving in the right direction.

It was a fun night having family prayer time before bed.



The four older kids wanted to lay hands on Mommy and Baby and pray for safety. It was a very special time.



Elliana praying for Baby sister,,,, she is SOOO excited to see her.



We are finally ready to go. It might be a long night, but I think we are ready for it.



Needles! Tasha really doesn't like those things, but it is a necessary evil.
I will try to post more as time permits.

Tasha says I will have to learn to share the part of my heart reserved for baby girls with the new baby. Right now it seems pretty full.



That being said, about one nanosecond after new baby arrives, Daddies heart will grow again. Then I will have plenty of room.



Daddy and Elliana, we are the best of buddies! ;~)



Our new blessing (otherwise known as a ford 15 passenger van.) We were out enjoying the warmer weather, ready to take a walk down to the Flowers for an impromptu cookout.

Mommy and baby number six, **** **** Quakenbush, (sorry, you have to wait till she is born to find out her name.) LOL.



Mommy looking very beautiful, pregnant! We are getting ready to bring baby home.
We are excited to welcome our new little girl home.

Happy Valentine's Day, Love!!!

I am extremely greatful for God allowing my path to cross Gregory Daniel's. He truly is a blessing to me in soooo many ways. We met 13 years ago at my cousin Monica and her soon to be husband's (John Myers) wedding. Greg walked me down the aisle in their wedding, and little did WE know, we would be doing the same thing ourselves 2 years later, in the same church!!! God, however, had a plan for our lives. For that, I am thankful. Greg is a man of God first and foremost. He loves the Lord, and strives to do God's will and share the love of God with others. He is a wonderful father. He is very involved in our children's lives, and teaches them the love of God every day in one way or another. (I 'm sure as our new little one makes her arrival, and we have our even "half a dozen", you will be just as wonderful with her too!!!) :-) God knew that Greg was exactly what I needed as a husband. He not only loves me for who I am, but he excepts me just as I am. God has helped us through the difficult times to draw closer to Him, and to one another. We are committed to one another come what may, for God is the Head of our home. I am VERY excited to see what God has in store for our family as we strive to serve Him!! Thank you Gregory for choosing me to spend forever with!! I love you dearly!!!!!
