Two new births :)

I am now an aunt of 7! So exciting, I love nieces and nephews :)  So funny story, Ashley was due July 12, and so she and Ethan went on a day trip June 22, to an island called Martha's vineyard. They were at a resraurant and her water broke.  So they had to put their car on a ferry until it got home to Boston.


She checked in at a hospital with doctors she didn't know- she pretty much entered the unknown...haha.  Apparently she had 2 water sacs, so they had to break another water?  Interesting.  But she was in labor for quite a while, but wasn't in much pain.  BEAU HYDE FELIX was welcomed to this world on Sunday June 23, at 1:13 pm.  He's a little guy, only 6 pounds, but he's adorable and I wish I could just go and squeeze him!  hopefully in September :)

Here's some pics of the cutie pie:

                                                          CONGRATS ASH and E!



The second birth I wish to write about was the birth of 6 adorable kitties.  Tanner's parents got a cat, and one day she came home and her belly was huge and saggy.  So...we all assumed she was pregnant and she'd have her kitties any day.  Well soon enough, on Friday June 20, Stacey noticed some wet spots on her recliner, and the car was in labor.  Soon after, she popped.  I have never seen a live birth of any kind.  Humans, animals, nada.  But I survived watching the live birth of 6 kittens.  It was very interesting...the poor car was making noises I'd never heard before!


We locked her in the bathroom and tried to make a soft bed for her to give birth on, but she just hopped right off and went to the hard floor.  She was like screaming, it was scary! haha tanner and I had to jump on the sink counter because it scared the heck out of us!  But man the kitties are the cutest little things.  She has 2 orange ones, 2 black ones, a gray striped one, and a black one with white spots.  They are cute.  Tanner and I might just keep one...we'll see.  Anyway, it was very fascinating to watch her give birth...haha.  Here's some pics:

                                                   She is quite large and in charge....

                                                          So cute!
