Veda

Veda had a doctor's appointment today. She has gained 3 ounces since leaving the hospital... putting her at a 5 lbs. 15 oz. She is doing quite well and we are all quite enamored with her.

Chelsie is recovering nicely thanks to a very helpful big brother. He has been bringing Chelsie her water and snacks.

I'm A Big Brother

Asher is such a good big brother. He has been singing songs for Veda and giving her his "deedee" (translation: blanket). He loves to hold her and really wants her to play with the toys.



Thank you Auntie Hayley and Auntie Becky for taking care of Asher while we were at the hospital. He sure misses you both.

Happy Birthday!

Daddy and Asher getting our piggy car all ready for the new baby.

My last day pregnant.

Today is the day for Baby Stew #2's birthday. We are headed to the hospital at 10:30 for the baby's birth. We are all excited to meet our new little one. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers today.

1 week to go...

The countdown continues and we eagerly await our new arrival. We will be at Harrison Medical next Friday AM for the big day. Asher is going to spend the day with his special Aunties, Hayley and Beck, from Seattle and Spokane. For anyone who wants the first baby pics, I'm including a link to the hospital web site so you can take a look. We'll try to get a post up as soon as we can to share the big news.

Will it be sugar and spice and everything nice....or snails and puppy dog tails?

The Big Brother

The kitchen has been moved into Asher's room...



Cooking can be so intense...



He has started to say "I love you Mommy". He also says, "Asher, Big Brother." He's so smart:)

Isn't she beautiful...

P.S. Thank you Auntie Becky for helping last week. Asher hasn't stopped talking about you since you left.

24 Days to Baby!

The Stewart family is awaiting the arrival of its newest member, scheduled to arrive on March 19, 2010. Asher has been especially busy practicing being a big brother...

Helping Mommy and Daddy in the Kitchen

He's busy resting up and preparing for the inevitable sleepless nights. I guess Aaron and I should get a clue on that one!



Even Bode is getting some shuteye

Trying on GiGi's glasses to make reading himself bedtime stories a little easier. :)

All in all it has been a busy winter for the family and we are thankful for all our family and friends that have been helping us get ready for Baby Stew!

Amidst the busy work we have been able to share some special time with family over Christmas break and in January for a Lake Tahoe ski trip.

Asher wrestling with his older cousin, Aidan. Finally someone he can REALLY wrestle with. We knew we'd get a picture of this sooner or later. I'm just waiting for him to cozy up and fall asleep in there.
