lots of pics from Kim

Here in a little Preemie outfit Auntie Amy gave her...I forgot hot TINY they are when they are born!

a few more pictures of my baby!

My GIRLS!!!

And below...everyone's going the extra mile to help out around the house...




Of course we are so blessed to have so many others to help us out with the birth! Tiff, Amy, and Mom came and cleaned my house the day before I was induced, Jenn brought us some pizza the night before, Amy, Dad and Tiff brought KUDOS (a box of 50 that only lasted 24 hours!) to the hospital, Marshall stayed home and tended ALL the grandkids (almost) at one point, Mom brought PIZZA HUT to the hospital after the birth, Jenn went and picked up the kids from school, both at Carden AND in Sandy!,....it was just a cooperative effort on the part of so many to make things run smoothly. We are so grateful to have such supportive family!!! Thanks to EVERYONE who visited, who still visits, for the meals but especially the LOVE! We are so blessed!

Bethany

So here she is...the hat was made by one of Ashley's little school friends who gave it to us the day after she was born! It looks a little fluffy on her, but Ashley was so proud she had a gift for her new little sister. She is 6 lbs, 11 oz., 21 inches long, and has little or no hair. She is an ANGEL. At night when she fusses (not cries), the moment I pick her up, she stops crying and patiently waits for me to get ready to feed her. Her breath smells like peaches, and her skin is like silk. I love her cute little guts! The kids are so excited to have her. Yesterday I told Matthew I was going to feed her, and he said, "Beffanee doesn't have any teeth. Should we find some for her?" Whenever I'm nursing, Timothy comes up and says, "Don't bite, baby!" Anyway, fun all around. I'll post more pics later. --Kim

Bethany Anne Bytheway!

I can't believe no one has posted this yet. But for all of those not in the Loveridge clan, John and Kim had their 6th child. Bethany Anne was born Jan 3rd in the afternoon- 5 or 6? She weighed...I don't know if it's exactly right, but around 6 lbs 12 oz...or somethin' like that! She is absolutely beautiful- following suit to the rest of their kids. The other kids are so excited to have a little sister although Andrew was disappointed about having to postpone plans for making a football team! Anyway, congrats to them and best wishes for the new little one!
