AAAAGGGHHH!!! 2 year olds

This is all that is going to be said....

These pictures were taken less than 24 hours apart!

6 Weeks Already!!

Our Little Blakester is already 6 weeks old (on Monday) I can not believe it! The time is going so fast. It is so hard to enjoy and absorb every moment of a new baby. Dr. Sear's states in one of his books that babies are only newborn for four weeks and that is so true. He is changing so much and starting to really actually notice other people and the boys eat it up. Jonathan always wants to hold "it" He always says "Let me hold it, baby blake." And so I always do, so he feels part of new little brother.

Our next door neighbor took these pictures for us and I think he did a great job and he was free, which is always nice.


Jonathan jumped in and got a really cute picture, so I had to add him in also.

Blake Tyler

Blake Tyler makes his blogger debut!!! I have finally gotten a minute to post the pictures. He was two weeks old yesterday and he is just a gem. He was born July 21st at 10:25 pm. He weighed 6lbs 11oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He was the easiest labor and delivery yet. A great one to end on. I was only in labor for two hours and then I pushed for ten minutes. So it was very surreal when he was here so fast. He is fitting in quite nicely with all of the noise and chaos around here. He still sleeps through the yelling and noise. Hopefully that lasts....



Blake 5 days old and a little yellow
I don't think it could get any crazier than this!!!

Fingerpainting pictures

I wrote about these pictures in the blog below, blogger was being difficult and would not let me post them in the last blog!

Waiting for Baby (project #1)

Well since we have nothing to do here but wait, I decided to take on a fun adventure (for the boys anyways) and they did some edible finger painting yesterday. They had a really fun, messy time, but they loved it. Cleanup wasn't to bad, but I probably won't be doing projects like this everyday.

I went to the Doctor again Friday morning and decided that I did not want him to induce me. I will give some background from Dr. visit on Wednesday. He came into the room and the first thing he said is, "so do you want me to start you today?" Well being that for the last three pregnancies I have been told by several Doctors, that once you have a c-section that you can never be induced with pit again. So when he said this to me it really through me for a loop. So I spent the rest of Wed. and Thursday anaylizing what to do. But it came down to the fact that getting induced carries a lot of risks for us and also the whole thing would be purely selfish, as hard as it is, there was no reason to rush this little guy along. So today is the due date and here we still are. Ryan keeps telling me that after lunch or dinner I need to go to the hospital because it is time for the baby to come. These days seem long but in the scheme of things what is five days. I go back to the Dr. on Tuesday, if he still hasn't come and then I have to figure out if I will be induced or just scheudle a big C! So enough said. I feel great and don't really have any physical ailments to worry about so we will just hang out. The Dr. did say something quite funny yesterday about how he couldn't really feel very sorry for me because I looked to good, I needed to look "shot" for him to do something. And as I was leaving the Doctor's office, I saw a pregnant mommy who definantely looked shot and it made me count my blessings.
Well blogger is acting up Again and I can't get my pictures to post, so I will send them some other time. This happens all the time to me!!

Baby Update!

Well we still only have three boys right now. At my last Dr. visit, there had been no change (last Wed.) so I thought, "why do I even come and torture myself like this!" But he has my due date as Saturday the 19th, so I am going with that one. But who knows, we are finally all ready to go and prepared for baby. Clothes and car seat are washed and crib and cradle are set up and waiting to have a baby to hold. Now I am just taking up time with cleaning walls, scrubbing floors and polishing the hard wood. Ya know all the normal day to day things I usually do!! So hopefully by the end of the week we will have some new baby pictures to show. But my Dr. will automatically do a csection next week if baby hasn't come by then. So keep your fingers crossed that he comes before then. But until then I will keep up with my cleaning, Mark refused to let me climb up on the roof and clean the skylights, (I don't know why, Ha) so I will stick to scrubbing the siding on the house. Till baby comes, I will be adding some old posts that I have been wanting to put up.

Our New Baby to be

Well there hasn't been much discussion about our new baby boy that will be joining our family very soon on this blog. And maybe that is because while he is enjoying the safety of being on the inside, it is hard for some of us to come to the realization that he will soon be on the outside. AAAGGGHHHHH!!! I get somewhat nervous thinking about having four little ones running around. I know that our family will adjust and welcome him (whatever his name may be!!) with many open arms. I have had a wonderful pregnancy, luckily without any of the annoying side effects and so I am ok with still being pregnant. I am starting to get the jitters because like it or not he is coming sooner rather than later. I was having Ryan feel him move the other night, and he said "Mom, I am tired of having my hand on your belly!!" I laughed because I thought it is probably true, he really doesn't care about my belly, he just wants the baby here. Being that this is most likely the last time I will be doing this, as always, coming to a close in a chapter of your life is always hard. So why not make it harder I say and go out with a bang. So I am preparing myself to do this completely drug free. Many may laugh or think I am stupid or crazy, (I think Mark may think so...) but I say "Why Not" I have to give it a try. We have nightmare insurance here and so cutting out all those things will significantly lower our out-of-pocket expenses. So for the last six months I have been reading every child birth, labor and natural delivery book, our library and the internet has to offer. So with that said, we shall see!!! I am probably jinxing myself to another Csection with actually posting my thoughts. But I am not closing out any options, I am just preparing myself for what I want! So in less than a month, we shall all know what the outcome will be, all that really matters is that baby is healthy and strong!
