Wow....we had every intention of keeping up our blog but lately things have been a little crazy! We apologize for the late notice, but our little Eva Grace has finally arrived! One week after her due date I was induced, on November 3rd. To be honest, I really did not want to be induced, but it ended up being a huge blessing! It was the most relaxed labor and delivery I've had, and we didn't have to worry about getting to the hospital in time. Once labor started, she was born after only 2 1/2 hours! She weighed 8lb 8oz and was born at 2:18pm on November 3rd....she shares a birthday with her grandma Scheer! We are doing well, though I will say that it's been quite an adjustment for all of us, mostly because our life hasn't slowed down much and we are not getting much sleep (not surprisingly!), though that has been a little better lately. We've tried to keep up with our goal of finishing our support team by the end of the year and have been gearing up for some travel as well. Eva is such a sweet baby and it's pretty cute to see how Blake and Callie have reacted to her. They both shower her with kisses and love to watch her sleep. Blake is such a sweet older brother and we can tell that he just adores her. The transition has been tough at times too. Callie is almost 18 months now and doesn't quite understand all of the changes going on, so she has been extra clingy. She also gets nervous and insecure every time we prepare to travel somewhere. It can make it difficult to pack! Blake has also been struggling with acting out, so we could use prayer for patience for both of them and for quick adjustment for the whole family. In addition to a new baby, we have also had to go through several other transitions including travel, transitioning Blake and Callie into sharing a room, and saying goodbye to our cat, Taz, as we dropped him off at his new home this week.
Here are some pictures of our new baby girl. We thank God for this new little life and what a joy she is!

Hooray! I've been excitedly waiting for pictures of the newest little Scheer. I'm glad the birth went so smoothly for you even if Eva did need a nudge to get started. With all the traveling craziness, I hope you're able to take some time off to enjoy your first family-of-five Christmas. :)
Thanks so much Bethany! It's so great to hear from you! How are you doing? I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the Christmas season!
So adorable! I love the picture of blake and callie sitting on chairs watching her sleep! :) We will be praying for you guys....that is a whole lot of adjusting to do with a new born on top of it all!

Thanks Merilee! And thank you so much for your prayers. I'm sure you guys understand going through tons of transition. It can be tough with little ones! Great to hear from you.
