oh my girl
I said I would NEVER let any of my children sleep in my bed! Than along came Julia, who some how ended up in our bed, which I think had a lot to do with Grandpa letting her sleep with him during nap time. Anyways, she is getting kicked out! So we have been preparing her that when sister comes she was going to have to sleep in her bedroom with her sister so she wouldn't get scared. So tonight, Julia is all ready and is excited to sleep in the same room as "her baby" and climbs in her bed. 5 minutes later Julia comes out and reports "My asked Bethany and her not want me to sleep with her!"

Bethany Ollie Luella
Bethany Ollie Luella 
arrived May 24th, 2011 at 10:34 am. She weighed 7lbs and 90z and was 20 inches long. 
Monday night I was blessed by my bible study friends who came to my house to have bible study because I was on bed rest. During bible study, Bethany decided she better start working on coming since they were going to take her the next day by c-section. My contractions were 20 minutes apart, but I thought I just had to go to the bathroom and couldn't go. However, Cathy knew better and I was in labor. At 3:00 in the morning, I awoke to contractions that were 5 minutes apart and getting stronger, however, when I called in they said just to wait until our arrival time at 6:45 unless they really started coming. David and I arrived at the hospital at 6:45 and spent the morning prepping for surgery. However, David got sick and was told he could not come in the operating room. My Mom arrived just in time to be able to come with me to experience the birth of her grandaughter. 
It was a special bonding time for all of us. The c-section process is a little overwheleming, but I was blessed with wonderful nurses and felt so full of the Holy Spirit, it was very peaceful! While receiving my spinal, one of the nurses held me and I could just feel the prayers flowing down over me! At 10:34, my Mom and I heard Bethany's strong cry and the moment I was waiting for was finally here! She was a healthy baby girl and I had made it through! I was able to kiss Bethany before Grandma and the pediatrician took her to the nursery to clean her up and do her "vitals". 
I was blessed to spend only a few short minutes in the recovery room. My body is healing very well. Bethany nursed great her first day and was a very content baby. She has the most beautiful black hair and in my eyes is 1 of my 4 perfect children! She has a danty little face with dark eyes. Her feet are the longest baby feet I have ever seen and are narrow! 
Ardelle, Carissa, Raela
, Cathy, Ginger came to visit us. The rest of the Baker babies came that evening and the loved her to pieces. Julia cried the whole way home she wanted to take her baby home with her! 
Gage's smile was priceless 
and Memphis checked out all of her body parts and enjoyed looking in the nursery window to watch all the babies
. They got new shirts that said "big brother and big sister" from the Wolbrinks! 
(Which they have not taken off in 2 days!) Daddy finally got to hold his littlest princess with a mask and washed hands and arms! 
Bethany and Mommy had a great first night together. Bryce, Tammy and Bridget came to visit us today. 
Bethany is showing her temper and is mad that my milk hasn't come in. Mommy gave in and gave her a taste of formula and she is happily sleeping away again.
Julia had to be carried out of the hosptial kicking and screaming because she didn't want to leave her baby. She is becoming VERY attached! After a busy day of nursing, Bethany and I are ready to head to bed!

We often say.....
We often say Gage will be a great sports player because he can run like the wind and we often say Memphis is going to be a great musician because he can keep a beat and LOVES music. Could we dare say that Julia will be a designer because she
has a sense of style???? What you can't see is that there is another skirt under the dress!

Gage is 6!
Today you are 6! 
Your love of Lions inspired a lion cake for you! 
You love Mommy Lions, Daddy lions and Baby Lions! So you got 2 lions!
You are becoming such a good reader and a super good brother! You like to play cars and have been eying the Mac Truck at Wal-mart for months! 
You stayed overnight at Grandma's and this morning when you woke up you asked Grandma if you got new skin and if you looked different now that you are 6! Mommy called you and you told me that you looked different you were "taller and more handsome". Gage your toothless grin will always may me smile! We love you very much and pray that God would bless your life!
