Auntie x4

YAY FOR BECCA!!!! Robert Alexander Marshall the third (we are going to call him Alex)was born on August 26th, 2007 at 11:26 pm. He weighed 7 and a 1/2 pounds and was 20 inches long. now i have 3 nephews (Owen, Chase, and now Alex) and 1 niece (Hallie). yay! the only problem is, they all keep leaving me!! In the delivery room was my mom, me, Alicia and Lara. Poor Robert missed the delivery by 12 hours... :(... he was on the ship in Hawaii and couldnt get home in time... he got on an emergency helicopter to fly home this morning... Becca WAS scheduled to be induced tomorrow after Robert got home tonight... but I guess the baby already has a mind of his own ;). Well, my mom and I spent the night in the recovery room with her (I wasn't supposed to be there, but Becca's nurse said I could stay as long as I didnt tell the other nurses because she would get in trouble). It was very interesting having to sleep in a twin bbed with my mother... I now know a WHOLE new definition to the word spoons.. JK... Love ya mom :)... I will try to post some pictures later, but I can't find the digital camera at the moment... I will post again soon!

whats new...

well, i know that i havent posted in a while... ok... a long while... but, heres the update... girls camp was great... i had a really fun time. i got to know the girls in my stake sooo much better. we went on this hike on the edge of the mountain. literally. there were times where if you took one wrong step, it seemed like you would plummit to your death. have you ever tried hiking in 100 degree weather??? well for those of you who havent, it is NOT fun... at all. the leaders this year werent as prepared. they didnt check to make sure that all of the girls brought enough water. a lot of girls suffered from heat exhaustion and one suffered from heat stroke... maybe next year they will prepare a little better.
oh yeah!!! did i mention that i got a cell phone!!! i got alicias old side kick!! and i have unlimited text messages and free mobile to mobile. and all i have to pay is 17 bucks a month!! good deal huh.
so since wednesday i have had the flu with 102 degree temperature and really upset stomach and a pounding headache. not exactly the way you would want to end the summer with(which ends on august 30th). today i am starting to feal a little better so hopefully i will be able to go to the corn roast this afternoon. i look forward to it all year and i dont want to miss it.
well, theres your update!
