Gunner Lynn Fackrell

He's here! I went in Wednesday morning bright and early for my induction. This is a picture of the "largeness" before I got all gowned up. Pay no attention to my awesome regrowth in all these pictures my hair gets really dark while I'm pregnant then goes back to normal afterwards, and I didn't have enough time to get it done before :)

He was born at 3:37 pm, my labor went really well. I get a little emotional when our babies arrive, for me it's one of the times I feel the closest to our Father in Heaven.
8lbs 6.6oz, but they round up so he is 8.7 on record, and 21 inches long
Dr. Jones has delivered all three of my babies now and this is the first picture I've gotten with him after the delivery. He is so great, Clint and I both love him. I would die if I had to go to someone else. (those of you who have had him and had to go elsewhere you know what I mean)

Look at his wrinkly little neck :)

Gunner and his cute little cousin Cambree, she is 4 weeks older and they are pretty much the same size.

Gunner and Daddy, and if you haven't noticed Gunner totally has Clint's chin.

First bath, thank you Ellen!

Deeg Holding his baby brother for the first time. Auni was really cute with him too but couldn't resist all the buttons so we didn't get a picture with her.

Right before we went home. I look like a chubby pants in this pic!

Ready to go!

We are so happy to have him here healthy and well. He is officially our smallest baby yet, Dr Jones and I agreed that this is a good size for me :) And I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me out these past few days, for all the calls and texts to check on us. Thank you Maranda for everything on Wed. She had my kids all day, took them to McDonalds for lunch, then brought Cafe Rio for dinner, and the kids to see there new brother. And on top of everything else made cookies and left them at my house! She is amazing, thank you so much! We'll keep you all posted on our crazy life with three kids 3 and under! Those of you who have done this let me know how you kept your sanity :) HaHa we love our kids and really we'll be great, we just won't be going anywhere for a while.

New Years and My LAST Dr.s Appointment!!!

We spent New Years at the cabin, as is our tradition. And besides the fact that sleep was not something that wanted cooperate with me, it was really fun. The kids got to play in the snow and go on snowmobile rides with their dad, and just hang out with their cousins.

Auni loved being pulled around in the sled, and I love her in her snow clothes I think she is too cute. (but then again I am her mother)
And I know you can't tell who is in this picture but we had glowies on New Years Eve and Deegan, Jexton, and Dalton took theirs in the tub while they had their baths. They thought it was awesome :)

Deeg did NOT want to get off the snowmobile, and was quite offended when he wasn't included on the "big boy's ride".

This picture isn't actually from the cabin, it was at my mom's house the other day when I was finishing the blanket that I made for the baby. She has officially out grown sleeping in the pack n play seeing as she can now climb out of it. So she didn't get her normal nap and she was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the couch (she never does that). As for the Baby update I had my 39 wk appt Tues and all is well. I am dilated to a 2 (which I have to remind you has never happened to me without the assistance of pitocin) and about 75% effaced. I still think I'll make it to my induction on Wed, but I am happy that my body seems to be more ready, Especially since we changed my dates :) So my next post will probably be baby pictures. We're just hoping and praying that all goes well.

Christmas and a Pregnancy Update

We had a fun Christmas this year, we spent Christmas Eve with my family and had our traditional yummy dinner and got our new Pj's and slippers and other fun stuff.

This was right before we left to go to my mom's, I just thought they looked cute.
Auni opening one of her presents, she did so good. She loved ripping the paper off.

All the little boys got hoppy balls and they were bouncing all over the place.

All the grand kids in there matching pajamas.

After Santa came to our house

I didn't get many pictures because we recorded most of it on my new Christmas present.

The Shumway kids got Rock Band, and Auni is quite the drummer. Seriously she's pretty good.

Auni in a bag! Oh and as far as the pregnant business goes I am 38 weeks today, so only two weeks left (yay!) I am dilated to a 1, 50% effaced, and -2 station. Which doesn't sound all that amazing but considering that with Auni I wasn't dilated AT ALL until the day I went in for my induction, I'm happy with it. Plus I thought for sure, since we moved my dates up, that I wouldn't be anything. Needless to say I'm planning on making it to my induction in two weeks, but that's not very long and I'm excited. It gives me just enough time to finish everything I need to and be ready for a baby!

Someone Shoot Me Please!

So it's just been one of those days. I woke up this morning feeling very pregnant and slightly uncomfortable (ha ha), so my mood wasn't tip top to say the least. I'm at that point when 3 1/2 weeks seems like a very long time. And on top of that my house was a disaster, so I finally make my self get off the couch and start cleaning up (starting with the bedrooms) and I come out to find my OH SO CUTE daughter doing this.

Cornstarch, Awesome! And the pictures do not do the mess that it really was justice at all. Oh and Deegan just watched her do it like it was no big deal.

Pregnancy Update

So I went to the doctor for my 32 week appointment and follow up ultrasound this morning and all was well. Great actually, my placenta has moved very much out of the way! Yeah, So no C-Section! And I also had every pregnant lady's dream come true, I went into the office 32wks and came out 34wks. Well 34 tomorrow, the ultrasound showed the baby measuring 2 weeks big. So taking into consideration the previous weights of my first two children, and Auni's shoulder dystocia, (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's when the baby's chest and shoulders are too big for mom's pelvis so they get stuck coming out. Auni's wasn't too bad but Dr. Jones says that's the scariest thing that can happen in delivery because the baby can end up with permanent damage to their arm. It can snap the nerves that go from the neck to the arm and they would lose the use of their arm. scary huh) so we decided the best thing would be to move my dates. So instead of being due the 27 of Jan. I am now due the 14, and my induction is scheduled for that same day. so even though my dates are two weeks ahead I'll only be delivering 1 week sooner.(my first induction was scheduled for the 20th) And I feel good about that. But 6 weeks sounds a lot closer than 7 did and I still have a lot to do, so I guess I better get a move on!

3 in 1 or Something Like That

I have a few things to catch up on so I thought I would do one big post. The weekend before thanksgiving was our annual LGC. (Larsen Girls Club) It was VERY fun I look forward to it every year, but seriously who wouldn't? Really good food, no kids for pretty much all day (their dad's just know that this one day every year is ours so they have the kids all day) and really cute crafts. We also do Secret Sisters every year and that's always fun, except that I suck, but I'm going to do better this year!

These are the queens of the LGC, my Mom and her sisters. (MaryLu, Susie, my Mom, and Shalana)
Tori, Jenica, my Mom, and me (I look like a tank through the hips) Taunya was there too but had left at this point.

The Princess'
A few of my cousins (Gentry, Jessica, Cierra, me, Britney, and Britney!)


And this is totally random but Auni got in the tub with Deeg fully clothed the other day and it was funny, but not funny at the same time :)
This was on Thanksgiving, we tried to do rollers because Auni's hair is curly in the back but not on the top. Needless to say they only lasted about 2 min.

We went to Marla's for Thanksgiving this year, and after dinner we put up the tree and got out the electric train that goes around it. Deegan has been asking about the train ever since Christmas last year and has been on the count down until we could get it out again. He pretty much watched it like this for over an hour.

This is another random picture, Auni got into the markers at my mom's and colored in her ear. All that on her face was just from her previous attempts to get the marker in her ear.

We also took the kids and went to temple square to see the lights on Saturday. I think we spent more time getting through the last two traffic lights to get to the conference center and trying to park than it actually took to walk through the lights. But I guess that's what you get for going on a weekend!
