That's a wrap. They are all here.

Six months, three weeks and one day ago, baby Warren was born. Since then, three more babies have been added to the Winchester family. Second to appear was Claire in February. Then Lily in April and yesterday baby Jane was born. She didn't really want to leave her mom's nice cozy belly. Meredith was induced at 6:30am yesterday. By 6:30pm she was ready to push. Two miserable hours later, her doctor told her she had the Winchester curse. Yes indeed, a C-Section. Every single Winchester girl including our mom has had to have C-Sections. Although it was a rough night, beautiful baby Jane came to this world at 9:41pm weighing 8lbs. 9oz and 21 inches long. She is a big girl and such a cute one. She is already so alert with the cutest puckered mouth and a ton of blonde hair. Congratulations to Meredith and Brady!!

It has been so much fun to have everything baby over the last few months. Baby showers, baby blessings, baby baby baby. I have loved it. I am so excited for these four babies to grow up together. All of the Winchester babies born in the last four months have had a ton of hair. Check this out....

Race for the Cure

Andrew and I went down to Salt Lake today to walk in the Race for the Cure. It was SO much fun!! We took Warren and pushed him in the stroller. He was such a good boy and seemed to enjoy being outside. It was an incredible experience. It was so touching to witness a sea of 17,000 people participating in something so important. Almost everyone there had a badge on their back to show who they were racing for. Some were there for survivors, others for someone they lost. Andrew lost an aunt to breast cancer last year. I haven't lost a family member to breast cancer, but I have lost and uncle and grandpa to cancer. I don't know many people that haven't been affected by it in some way. We had such a great time being around the spirit of the survivors. It made me really think about how blessed I am to be so healthy. I had to step back and think about how quickly life can change and that I need to be grateful for every day I am given. I am so glad we went down. It is definitely going to be a new tradition in the Fisher family.

My how they grow!


I can't believe my baby boy is 6 months old already! Look at how smart he is sitting up by himself. I can't believe how fast the time goes by. It seems like yesterday we were announcing the pregnancy. Then we were bringing home our tiny 6 pounder and staring at him not knowing what to do. Before you know it, we will be sending him on a mission and then off to college. To be honest I am a little teary eyed right now thinking about it. Warren is such a joy in our lives. We couldn't have asked for a happier baby. This past week he has had an ear infection which has been sad. He cried for 2 days straight which is SO unlike him. He usually only cries (if you can even call it a cry) when he is hungry or tired. I thought he was teething. My father-in-law, who is a dentist told me that wasn't it. So, we took him into the doctor and found out it was an ear infection. Once we put the drops in his ear, he was himself again. Our happy, pleasant boy. I think we are to the point where I can safely say he is sleeping through the night. It has taken us awhile, but this week he has been sleeping 7-8 hours a night. Last night he went 9 hours!!!!!! Now if only I could sleep through the night, that would be awesome. I don't know what my problem is. I think it is because I keep thinking about Warren. Even though he is sleeping through the night, I get up 3-4 times to check on him. I know I am paranoid, but I can't help it.
