Effies first few days here on earth. Melanie called me and said her water broke and that was about 745 pm. The crazy thing is I had told Melanie that Effie needed to come. Because her bday would be 3-21-12 and that was cute. Well Effie started early being a good listener. She decided to make her appearance. Jackson and I dropped the boys off at Jacksons parents and headed over to Timpanogas hospital. We actually beat Melanie there. When she got there they checked her in and checked her she was dilated to a 6 and her water did break. Then for the next 2 hrs we all just kind of hung out and talked. It was nice because we hadnt meet any of her family so it was good to just talk with her mom and brother. My mom came over to the hospital too so it was all of us in the room. Her mom, my mom, me, Jackson, her brother and his wife, her best friend. Dr. Agard is the one who deliverd Effie. At 11 they checked her and she was a 10 and Effie came after 2 1/2 pushes at 11:14. It was love at first sight for me I just couldnt stop staring at her. She had lots of bruising because she came out so fast. I loved her round chunky face and dark hair!!! On Thursday, the next day we brought the boys home. It was cute when I dropped Warren off to school that morning he ran right up to his group of friends and told them all about his new baby sister!!! So when we took them over Warren would not stop smiling and wanted to take her home right know. Haus was way excited but didnt know what to think of her and when he seen her he did not want to hold her. On Friday we signed at 1 and then went back over to the hospital at 5 and had the placement ceremony. It was by far the most spiritual thing Ive ever been in. My heart broke for Melanie and her family but I could just feel the spirit so strong. I feel so lucky to have Melanie and her family in our lifes forever, we love them. My mom had the boys so we went there to pick the kids up. My sister n law, brother and aunt Lora were also there waiting to see her. I felt like I was in a dream because I was sooo excited.                           GUESTS the first couple of days

                                              Warren, Im pretty sure everyone should have there kids 6 years apart.  He has been so helpful and cant get enough of her.  They all share a room and so a few days into it I asked Warren and Haus if they hear Effie when she gets up in the middle of the night.  They said no but Warren responded with "when Effie gets up Ill get up with her and sing to her"

                                                   Right before Melanie started pushing.

                I love this picture of us because the huge smiles on our faces are pricless.
