Hazel Nicole Sherwood
Hazel Nicole Sherwood was born Monday February 16th at 2:04 am. She weighed 8 lb 3 oz , was 19 1/2 inches, has tons of hair and is "practically perfect in every way!" Hazel followed the tradition of her older sisters by starting the process of being born two days before her due date, which has just so happened to be on a Sunday for each girl. She also followed Claire's lead by being born on Presidents day.
Her birth has by far been the easiest for me. I started "real" contractions around 9:30 Sunday night. We finally went to the hospital after 11:00 and got into my room shortly after midnight. They gave me my epidural about an hour later and within 3o minutes Hazel entered the world after only 3 pushes.
We are so excited to finally have our new little one with us. The girls love her so much and are being such good helpers. Now I just need to get rid of my bronchitis and life will be wonderful.

Pedicures and Lunch
Sometimes it is just so hard to find someone to give you a good pedicure. When it happens, you just have to take matters upon yourself. All you need is a carrot and some applesauce and you are set.

A day with the girls
The last few weeks I have been really worried about my girls and how they are going to respond to having a new addition to the family. I have been working really hard to get lots of things done early so when the baby comes I will still have lots of time to spend with my other girls.
On Saturday I was really stressed about it so I decided to forget about everything else I had planned for the day and to focus totally on my girls. We decided we would do whatever they wanted that day.
Our adventures started with a trip to Build a Bear. We have only been there one other time but Bailey LOVES it and has been wanting to go back. Since it was her day we obliged and took them. We also thought it might be a good chance to teach the girls how to work together and to work for someone else by having them make a bear for their new sister as a gift.
They actually worked really well together and didn't fight at all!!!!! (Which was the highlight of my day!) They chose out a pink bear with a summery dress and leggins. Their favorite part of the whole experience was giving the bear a "bath" after it was stuffed. I think it is now the cleanest bear in the world.
Claire insisted the bear sit in a hot pink chair while getting dressed. Scott had the honor of dressing the pink bear in pink clothes while the bear sat in a pink chair, what a good dad!
We couldn't get the girls to pay attention long enough to get a good picture of them and the bear. But I promise the bear is really cute!
After Build a Bear, we let the girls spend some time at the germ infested playground. Am I the only mother that gets totally grossed out by mall playgrounds that every snotty nosed kid insists on playing on? But it was their day so I didn't try to talk/bribe them out of it.
To top of the morning we went to In and Out for lunch. We have yet to convince the girls that they would like hamburgers if they would try them, so they ate french fries for lunch. I had good intentions of feeding them some healthy food when we got home but that never happened so they had french fries for lunch.
The morning was finished off with eating candy hearts, loving on the bear and belting out the lyrics to Bailey favorite song about corn dogs on our way home.
