Going Home

Emma is a great big sister. She is very soft and loving. She wants to play with him already and enjoys betting his binkies for him even though he doesn't take them yet.

A little sad face. He hardly cries and when he does he is just hungry, so far so he is a easy baby.

Emma was excited to see her brother come home. She likes to hold him for a second and then she is done, lol.

So excited to see a real little baby in her old car seat instead of her baby dolls.

First time in his car seat, he looks so small in there.

Eliot Ronald

Little baby wide awake and just seeing the world.

He is handsome!! We tried getting him to eat all night after he was born, but he wasn't interested at all. He just wanted to sleep. He kept on throwing up amniotic fluid, so finally the nurse pumped his stomache and got a lot more out. She brought him back and said that she tried a sucky to see if he would even suck on it and he did, so she brought him right back and he finally ate after like 7 hours of not. He latches on great and we are doing well.

He has pretty long fingers like me and big big feet like his dad.

Baby Eliot

Our happy family!! A new baby brother to add the perfect touch. He sure is beautiful!

Emma holding baby! She likes him, but didn't quite know how to act at the hospital. She is kinda unsure about the situation.

Poor baby had to be vacumed out, so his head is all mis shaped and bruised. He is looking much better now though.

He is just perfect.

Emma with brother.

Kissing her sweet little baby!!

She is happy and thinks it is cool.

The Big Day

Wednesday May 26th I went in for a scheduled induction to have our baby girl. We checked in at 11 am and I had an IV in by 11:30. It was kinda scary waiting to be induced, because I didn't know what to expect. With Emma I didn't feel much pain at all and contractions were a breeze but not this time. I was trying to breathe through them thinking who in their right mind would do this more than once, lol. My doctor came in to break my water and they started me on potocin to get the contractions more regular. A while later I was holding the bed and trying to get through the pain. Jake was right by me telling me I was doing good. I got an epidural and felt much better. About 45 mins. later we had our baby!!! HE arrived at 3:23 pm only 41/2 hours after we arrived. Yes we had no idea it would be a boy, the doctor was pretty certain that it was a girl and the ultrasound pics sure looked like a girl part so he was a huge suprise to us.



Emma got to come up just after he was born and got to watch them bathe him and get him all cleaned up. She looks happy to be a big sister although she is not sure about a boy yet, lol. We were all ready for the pink girly stuff.

I was not quite sure what to think when he came out. The doctor said "Congratulations it's a boy" my mouth dropped and I was in shock. They set him on me and I just couldn't believe it, a boy!! AHHHH! I am just grateful for a healthy baby!

Mother's Day

Well another Mother's Day is here and gone!! I am so grateful for my little Emma and the baby on the way. How wonderful it is to be a mother and raise children. Jake suprised me and had a few gifts for me. I guess that means he appreciates me, lol. We went to church and Jake came back early and had dinner all ready. He cooked steaks, baked potatoes, salad, and corn on the cob. He even had the table all set and ready to eat. We had a great dinner and a wonderful day!!




I got roses. I can't remember the last time I got flowers from Jake, so that was a nice suprise. I wanted a new camp chair because my old one was faded and yucky. I also wanted a new toaster which we neede, so overall my day was great.

My wonderful sister sent me some flowers too!! They have been opening and look so pretty! Thank you so much!!

Week 37~~ Only 3 more to go!!! I have almost made it. I got a hair cut from my sister in law Jessie today also. It is shorter and some layers make it fresh. You can't really see it that great, but I am loving it and feel cute!

I don't look that big, but I feel like it. Everyone at church can't believe it is almost time for me to have the baby. I am starting to get uncomfortable and feeling some pain, so hopefully it progresses and she comes out on time.

Emma got a little trim too. Jessie cut the bottom so it was one length and she thought she was cool for sitting there getting her hair worked on.

My cute little baby getting a trim.

Emma

She sure loves her stuffed animals!!

Emma's new thing is getting baby sisters clothes out and putting them on bitta baby. She acutally put the onsie on right and even snapped the buttons. It is cute. She is getting ready to help mommy soon!!

Visit with my sisters!!

Ellen and Sara came up last weekend to visit. I was planning on doing some outside work but the weather didn't cooperate. I had a lot of fun with them all and it was sad when they left. Oliver is getting big and is the cutest little boy ever!! I love holding him and he even smiled one time it was precious. I can't wait for my next one!!
Baby Oliver 5 weeks old.

Emma and Halle had a good time together. They both love to read and playing in the crib together just reading and talking until an argument broke out and we had to pull them out.

Princess Hal Gal and Emma Girl.

Halle got along great with Uncle Jake. She talked to him and even sat on his lap when the first arrived. She used to just be scared of him but now their relationship is good, lol.

Baby boy looking around. He did so well and I never even heard a peep out of him at night. It was so fun to have a baby around. Jake says it is a good thing I am already pregnant because he knows how much I would have been bugging him for another one just holding and seeing Oliver. Jake even took him and held him for a while. It was cute.

Playing playdough.

Girls spinning in Jake's chair. I guess it was fun. They are both happy and Emma had a great time playing with Halle. They are good friends.
