Andrew is here!!

Wednesday, June 29, Mal was supposed to be induced in the evening. I was going to go up and help her finish up a few things around the house before they went to the hospital. When I called to make arrangements to head up, I noticed she didn't sound too great. When I asked what she was doing, she said, "Just sitting at the hospital..." The little stink got started Tuesday night and "wanted to surprise us!" HA!! She was at a 6 and said she'd call after the nurse came to check her the next time.

Bob came home and when we couldn't get hold of her to see how things were progressing, we decided to head over to the hospital. We were totally shocked when the nurse told us she was "delivering." She'd gone from a 6 at 11:40am to delivering by 1:30.

Andrew Thomas Forbes was born at 1:50pm weighing 7lbs 15oz and was 20.5" long. He's got a full head of dark hair and is beautiful!! We couldn't be more proud of him and are thrilled to be grandparents!!

About an hour old...so incredibly alert and bright-eyed!

Yep...we're proud grandparents!

He's totally whooped!

Auntie Tusiga! (She was one of Sammi's companions in the mission...Sister Lealaogata. She's adopted herself into our family and we LOVE it!!)

Uncle Zacky and Aunt Kenzi-poo

Proud Aunt Sammi!

Aunt Maddi is in love!

Zack looks scared but not really. :)

Cute little family

So adorable!!

Our little peanut--Week 12

We can't believe how clear we can see our little peanut! Can't wait until next month when we might be able to find out what he/she is! Can't wait to "officially" buy stuff!!!!

The BEST Thanksgiving EVER!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving was kinda weird this year since it was Zack and Mal's year with the in-laws. Bob, Maddi, and I decided to go to Bob's mom's for dinner with his siblings. It was fun to visit and laugh with everyone. We came home and waited for Mal and Tom to come over for pie. Maddi invited her friend, Andrew, to come as well so it was just the six of us (Zack and Kenzi stayed in Brigham to do the Black Friday sales). We'd been visiting for a while, had our pie, and all of a sudden, Mal and Tom got up and went outside. Mal had said she made little treat bags for her neighbors and decided she wanted to do them for family this year. She had sent Sammi's the week before with instructions to not open hers until Thanksgiving afternoon. She passed out little white gift bags with green tissue paper in them. (She apologized to Andrew for not having one for him...he said it was OK.) We all pulled the tissue paper out at the same time and screamed!!

How cool is this?!?!?!?!

I screamed, squealed, jumped up and down, you name it. I ran to her to hug her and just couldn't let go! Maddi kept saying, "You lied to me!!" (A couple of weeks ago, Mal told her smells were killing her and Maddi asked her if she was pregnant. Mal said, "No!" We excused her from lying that one time. :) ) Bob was in shock! After all the hugging, we found another little gift in there... our first picture of our baby!!

We'll find out in January what she's having but in the meantime, I'm looking for all kinds of cute stuff and bought my first material for rag blankets...one boy and one girl. I can't wait and figure whatever it is, I can put the other one away for future use. 

So much to be thankful for!!!
