Family


My mom got to come down for 2weeks. It was really nice. My family has not been to Louisiana for 2 years. She taught me how to sew clothes for my kids. I am really excited. Mostly dresses for Zoe. My mom also finished making Rhetts blessing outfit. My dad and my nephews Dylan and Gary came down for a week. It was nice to have family come after the baby.



We went to Reflections of Christ. This is outside the Baton Rouge Temple.

Newborn Pics



My friend Ashley Savoie takes pictures and asked if she could take some of Rhett and I. So we did and she did a really awesome job! Here are a few.

David Rhett Barker








January 28th at 2pm, I went to the doctor and after the doctor checked me she sent me to hospital to have the baby. We were not expecting it at all. I dropped Roston and Zoe to Dave at work while I went to the appionment. When I called Dave to tell him to hurry up and get to the hospital, he did not believe me. By the time I got checked in, papers signed it was 4pm. Wendy got there, then Dave showed up with Roston and Zoe. (The kids were so excited, Roston asked that Monday ,"mom, when is our baby coming?") George came and then Ashley and Paris showed up. The doctor came in at 5pm, broke my water and was there for about 15mins. I had about 3 liters of fluid, and Rhett was trying to stick is hand out. The doctor had to pinch his hand so he wouldn't because if he got his hand out than I would have had to have a c-section. Then Rhett came at 7:02pm. When Roston came in he was so excited he screamed. After the kids left and they took Rhett I told Dave ," I can't believe we have another kid." I was still in shock because everything happened so fast. Rhett was 6'11"and they said 17 3/4 in. He looked exactly like Roston but with dark hair (he had quite a bit).






So after Rhett was born we could not think of a name for him. He had Shadd and Wyatt picked out, but he did not fit either of those names. So we finally picked his name the last day we were there. We named him David Rhett Barker but we are going to call him Rhett. This is a movie after Rhett was born when we asked Roston and Zoe what we should name him. It was cute.
