What next...

Who: Scott Marcille
What: pre-op for emergency appendectomy
When: September 29, 2010
Scott woke up ~2am Wed. morning with severe abdominal pain and finally asked me to take him to the ER ~4:30am. The doctor quickly diagnosed Scott's pain as an appendicitis. Thank goodness my mother was still here, who gracefully got out of bed to mind our 5 day old daughter, and watch the boys during the morning while I sat with Scott at the hospital before, during, and after his surgery. We came home from the hospital yesterday at 1:30pm. Scott is fine and doing great, just resting and healing from his procedure. Thank you again for your well wishes! We are looking forward to settling into a "normal" routine!

Going Home!

We left the hospital Sunday and headed home to start our life as a family of 5. Ellie is a sweetie and still captivates our hearts. Thanks again for all your well wishes!

The boys and PatsyMom come for a visit

PatsyMom brought Jay and Andrew down this afternoon to meet their baby sister, Ellie. Andrew smothered her with kisses and although Jay was quite taken with her, he seemed more interested in my hospital bed with the automated buttons. Enjoy the pics and thanks again to all for the well wishes! PatsyMom with Jay, Andrew and her first grandaughter, Ellie.

Jay wanted to hold her right before he had to leave - so cute!

Our family - there wasn't a single shot with all of us looking.

Jay loved the hospital bed - he even told me that his bed at home needed some "buttons."

Andrew showering his love!

Andrew seriously couldn't leave Ellie alone.

Check Jay out playing around with the TV/Nurse/Light remote.

Welcome Elizabeth Grace!

We welcome with great joy Elizabeth Grace, born September 24, 2010 at 11:31am. She is 9lbs., 21 inches. We will be calling her Ellie most likely, although we may call her Ellie Grace - we'll see. But she is a big, big girl! She is bigger than what her brothers were at birth, which may not be a bad thing since she'll have to keep up with them quickly. We are all doing great and Scott and I are still in shock we have a baby girl - in fact, I didn't believe him when he called the sex out in the delivery room! Here are pics right after the delivery. Thanks to all who have sent us emails, text messages, and have left phone messages already - we are so happy to share this joyous occasion with all of you! Much love to all! Our baby Ellie!

Still groggy from the birth.

Proud Papa with his little girl!

A very happy momma with baby Ellie!

37+ weeks and counting

The final countdown is here. In this pic, I am 37 weeks as of last Friday. I am just now starting to feel tired and run down and very large! It's hard to believe that sometime over the next few weeks we'll be welcoming baby Marcille #3. It's been very exciting to wait and see if it's a boy or a girl and I am busy with all sorts of cleaning and organizing activities for the new baby.

First Day of Preschool

Ahhh... finally, preschool started for the boys last week! 16 weeks is one long summer. Can you see the grin on my face as I write this? Scott and I escorted the boys to their classrooms. Jay adjusted immediately, Andrew shed a few tears but recovered quickly. Both are enjoying their classrooms and I am enjoying these precious few hours I have to myself before baby #3!
