"Pocket Full of Sunshine Dance"
Little did my sister know that doing this dance at the shower yesterday would cause her water to break. Perhaps it could have been the chocolate cake from Flemings? One will never know except that Ashton had intentions of his very own today. Janet called me around 7:30am this morning describing what seemed to me an amnoitic fluid leak. Not more than 20 minutes after talking with me her bag of waters broke and she was off to the hospital. Ashton has been breech for the past month and she was really hoping he would turn, but he decided to remain stubborn in a sitting position in utero. Luckily, all of her co-worker friends were on today and she was treated like royalty in the hospital. (She is a labor/delivery nurse herself) They wheeled her back for the c-section around 11:10am. Not more than 45 minutes later Ashton Alexander Muth was brought into the world.
I have never been around family for any of my births so it was quite comical to show up at the hospital seeing over 10 people awaiting the arrival of the newest member of our family.

Ashton Alexander Muth
August 24, 2008
6lbs 10 oz
19.5 inches long
We could only see him briefly through the glass for the first few hours. So after giving our talks in church we headed back up to visit the little man. I must say he is one cute baby. He has a head full of wavy black hair and the tiniest, sweetest little features. As you can see Taylor already can not get enough of him!
Baby and mom seem to be doing great. It was a little worrisome with Janet's water breaking this morning. Ashton wasn't expected to come until September 12th, which put him at 4 weeks early. They will continue to monitor him over the next 24 hours. He scored 9 and 10's on his apgar and seems to have a good set of screaming lungs on him. I am BEYOND excited that we were back for his birth. Congrats Aaron and Janet. We love you all and so happy he made it here safe and sound. Is he not the cutest thing ever?? Aunts are allowed to be biased right?

That's a great size for being so early! Congrats! How awesome that you live so close now! That dance is fantastic! Might have to make it into the books on how to get labor started! :-)
Aunties definitely get to be biased! He is a darling baby and I'm he and mama are doing well. So fun to visit and get to hold him often. Love Taylor holding him, you can tell it's love at first sight with that cousin.

Hey Jenny, how was your talk in Sac. Mtg? Oh, sooooo glad mine is over! Hey, I used to work in physical therapy and we got patients from Hardison and Kirkby daily!!! What a great group! Congrats to Doug!
Jenny, what cute pics of your nephew and how fun that you are now here for all this family stuff! BTW- your sister looks way to good to be pregnant in her Baby Shower pics. I also love the cake/cupcakes that Amy Scott made! She is my sister's sister-in-law (they married brothers) and I've seen her talents before; amazing cakes! I love, love, love the pics of your kitchen from the other post! WOW! Where is your home at? Maybe we'll run into eachother in a store sometime! Hope all keeps going well for you and yours. :)

Very cute baby boy. How memorable to have Janet's dance on video. I'm sure she'll love it one day, if not immediately.
congratulations to your sister! He is a cutie!
Her dance was so funny!
How exciting! He's adorable. I'm glad she got to have her shower before he decided to make his debut. I'm thrilled for her to not have to be pregnant in this heat any more! Congratulations to them.
SO Cute! And that dance is killing me. I'll definitely have to remember its magic next time I'm 9 1/2 months pregnant. Congrats on being an aunt to such a sweet newbie!
Congrats to your sister! Aren't you thankful to be close to family now?
How cool that you can be down there for that stuff now! Oooohhhh....how did the talks go? And the cake at your sister's shower - amazing!
Congrats Aunt Jennie! This is your first on your side, right? He is cute! Start spoiling!
She's a pretty good dancer!
Congrats to her on the new baby boy. He looks great! What a great name too!
Your sister's dance and song is so cute -especially all while pregnant! I'm so happy you were on hand to be their for her! It's interesting, but I've never been present at a baby's birth! Take care :)
