Edina Leanne.

Edina is our middle child who has taken that role wonderfully, i can not imagine the other 2 in her spot she just does a perfect job. :)
Edina was a "planned" pregnancy and was conceived just shortly after we got married in 2004. when i had my first ultrasound at 20ish weeks were told by the doctor that the placenta was over top of the cervix and to take it easy because if it was disturbed in any way it could cause the placenta to rip and hemorrhage resulting in us loosing the baby, so i followed the docs advice and did not go on bed rest but took it easy no heavy lifting, no running after the cattle, no sex, and also planning a c-section, when i hit 35 weeks i had another ultrasound and was then told with the baby growing it made the placenta move off of the cervix which then we were not having a c-section and i was given the go ahead to "be normal". lol.
we were so busy on the farm with cattle and such and that year we did not have a whole lot of snow o we were able to graze the cows on hay fields, that just made it so instead of feeding we just moved cows from field to field, cheaper but a pain in the butt.
On December 16Th 2004 the day before my due date, we were moving the cows to a new grazing patch which did not take to long, Eric was ahead of the herd leading them with a bale of hay and Aidan and i bring up the back with the pick-up truck, of course there had to be one stupid cow that did not want to go and decided to turn and go back though the willow trees, so that left me (Eric was way ahead) to run after her though the willows and get her with the herd, she changed her mind about going back when i got her into a open area and put a run on her with the truck, i would just love to write about exactly why the cow decided to go with the herd but i fear someone will take that out of context and assume something different, lets just say when we were done Eric asked why that cow who he knew was in the back and is always in the back ran ahead of the whole herd and the tractor he was in and beat everyone to the field. i told him you just don't mess with me when I'm 40 weeks pregnant, she knew what was best for her. LOL.
so that night after we had supper and Aidan was bathed and tuck int bed, i was tired and went to bed but could not sleep, and realized i had cramps, oh great I'm labor now, and all i want to do is sleep, but we had to get someone to come stay with Aidan and we needed to get to the hospital.
After 15 hrs of labor on December 17Th 2004, we welcomed Edina Leanne into the world at 5:57pm, she weighed in at 9lbs 3oz. as the doctor said we now had the "perfect family" 1 boy 1 girl really what more could be perfect than 2 healthy kids.
Edina's name came from eric's grandma who was edina as well as her daughter, who was the last female kohl born before our edina 68yrs before, when i was in labor, we realized that we were so busy we really did not talk about any names and did not realize the significance in her name till after we were home. Leanne came from a magazine that Eric was reading while i was in labor and to decide on a middle name he opened the magazine randomly and started to read it and the first female name he came across was Leanne so that is how we got the name, just randomly. lol
Edina is almost like Aidan in wanting to be everyone's friend, and has such a kind heart.
she is such a princess and loves anything to do with fashion, her favorite show happens to be the wedding dress shows, she loves horses and adores her pony, they love each other and it amazes me how she is so out going and will try anything once, some days i wish i was like that.

Dear Edina.
my dear sweet little princess, I love you more than words can say, you and your brother and sister are the sunshine in my heart and make me smile everyday, I am so glad i have you to brighten up my days.
I want you to know to always dance like no one is watching you.
                                       With love from mommy forever to the moon and back.
