Babies, babies and more babies....

I know it has been a bit since I have posted, my apologies... The last few weeks have been a whirl wind for me so here is a few catch up posts... We have had a few babies around the Gunderson household the last few weeks... My brother and his wife had their sweet Alyssa (five weeks early,) a few baby birds, a few baby fish and our little puppy...

Meet baby Alyssa... 4 lbs. 7 oz. 16 inches long.. So precious...

Our cute little baby birds in our front tree, a few days old..

Our sweet little puppy, only 7 weeks old... We had him almost a week, and poor little Cole was so darn allergic we had to take him back.. :( We sure did love him while he was here.. :) Little Jade was so devastated when we had to take him back..

The baby fish... Yes our fish gave live birth, and I assisted her.. She delivered (from what I saw) 16 babies.. Two were swallowed up by other fish, ten were born dead and four were saved!!! YEAH!!!

(Not sure if you can see them, they are about the size of the tip of a pen.)

Little Miracles..

The other day when Nancy was over, the baby was moving all over the place.. The boys were so loving feeling him move... I loved watching them feel her belly, it made me miss (just a teeny) that feeling of having that miracle move inside of me.. Looking at this picture brings a tear to my eye... I love that I get to be a part of the starting of my sister's little family.. I remember being there with Courtnee like it was yesterday, and it was Nancy and Whitney feeling her kick in my tummy.. And now Courtnee is 13.. :( Time just danced away... I am so glad I have so many pictures to look back on, to see what has happened in our life.. Amazing how seeing one picture brings back floods of feelings... :D

Baby Shower...

Finally, we are on the count down to just a few weeks for Baby Ryker to get here... Saturday was Nancy's shower.. It was so cute, and I was so happy it turned out so fun.. I hope she enjoyed it as much as my mom and I enjoyed doing it for her... Here are a few pictures... :)

Cuteness of a pregnant belly...

This is my darling younger sister Nancy.. I can't believe that in only 6 more weeks we will get to meet her sweet baby Ryker.. I just love pregnant bellies.. They make me smile, and just a tiny part of me wishes that just one more time I could feel that miracle inside me... I love feeling him kick her, what an amazing experience... This was her first shower and I begged her to let me take at least ONE pregnant picture of her.. She is so adorable.. Stayed tuned for the weeks to come, as we get to meet baby Ryker.. :)

Baby Dylan

So happy to have a brand new nephew.. He is oh so sweet.. Makes me forget how precious new babies really are.. Amazing how fast they grow up in just 2 years.
