21 Hours To Go

Hello everyone. Well tomorrow is the BIG day! We are so excited to finally meet our little girl. This will be the last time you see me pregnant with Avarie Jean. The next updates will be pictures of our precious little bundle of joy. I wish Grandma could have been here for this important day, but I know that she will be looking down on us to make sure that everything goes just fine. It was really strange not sharing my birthday with her this year. I can't remember a year when we didn't have a combined birthday party. I am thankful to have those memories of her to pass on.

Today I am going around getting all the last minute things completed for the next week. I am thankful to have the help and support of my family since Ray will unfortunately have to return to work after just three days off. Tomorrow morning we have to be at the hospital between four-thirty and five am. The c-section is schedueled for seven am. It should be a very busy morning and not to mention exciting. I am getting a little nervous about the procedure but do not expect any complications. I will talk to you all later and send out updates as soon as I can, God Bless, The Flohn Farm

13 Days To Go!

Avarie will be here in 13 days! I can"t wait to see what she looks like. Her room is very much ready for her arrival. It is done in a horse theme with a little John Deere thrown in of course. Avarie loves to move around all the time. I'm pretty sure that my insides are bruised up from her tumbling and ty-bo classes she holds by herself. I have a feeling that she will be just as active outside as she has been inside. Avarie gets the hiccups almost after every meal. I hope this doesn't mean that she will be a gassy baby. (Just like Daddy!) Malarie and Justin are getting really excited about their new baby sister. Ray still thinks HE is having a baby. But I think everyone knows who does all the work! I am very excited to see my sister and brother-in-law soon. We will be blessed to be able to see and spend time with them before their deployment overseas. I am getting a little nervous about the c-section but I have a wonderful doctor and I know that I am in good hands. I can't wait to see how Ray handles the yuck of the delivery. He doesn't do too well with those sort of things. We have also added to our "Farm" 2 ducks and a new kitten who is about 4 weeks old. Justin has named her "Sparkle". Our White Leghorn hen has been laying for about 1 month. The eggs are about half the size you get in the store but they taste great! Justin and Malarie love going out to check for her egg daily. The brown hens haven't started laying yet. I expect them to start once it cools down a little. Production is usually less in the summer and more in the winter. Well I will keep you all updated about Avaries progress and the adventures of the Flohn Farm. God Bless. The Flohn Family Farm

P.S. I just figured out how to add PICTURES!!!!! Yeah!
