Chopped Liver

That is what I feel like little man is being treated like on this blog :-) I have been so bad and not written about anything he is up to...granted its not much but here goes.

He is 3 weeks old today! I cannot believe that much time has gone by already. He is getting to be a little chubby and I just love it! He is eating from both "ninnies" as his sister calls them and also getting about 2-4 oz of formula. He is a big BIG eater compared to his sissy. He is still waking up about every 2-3 hours to eat, and occasionally will go longer just depends on how much he eats and for how long he stays awake. I absolutely love having this little boy to hug and kiss...his smiles when he is falling asleep after eating make my day. I cannot wait until he really smiles at his momma! Last night he only woke 2 times to feed compared to 3 or 4 the night before. Abs slept through the night at about 2 1/2 months and I am looking forward to that day, but am still loving our middle of the night "snack" sessions. He had his first Big boy bath on Wednesday, Dec 29th! He liked it more than his sponge baths...but still not a huge fan of being wet!


Abby is almost 21 months old! She will be 2 before we know it! She is such a busy body these days and thankfully sleeping much better than she did right after brother was born. She cooks all day long with her new kitchen and its many accessories (that are scattered everywhere at the end of the day) and we are enjoying "taste" ing her many (invisible) food creations. She is getting really good at her ABC's and we are just so proud of our "little" BIG girl!

That's all for now! Hope you & yours had a very Merry Christmas! We did and were so blessed this year! Hope next year is a prosperous one for everyone! Happy New Year!!

She bakes

Besides being a great big sister, our little Abby did a little baking with her Nana this evening.

For a crescent roll and a 20 month old...I think she's off to a great start! haha!!

Almost One Week Old....Already?

Well tommorow my sweet little boy will already be one week old! I didn't think time could go by any faster, but it has. We took Ethan to his 1 week appointment today. He weighed 6lbs 12.5 oz, which is about what he was when we went home from the hospital. He has grown a 1/4 of a inch and his head was pretty much the same. Don't have to go back until 1 month! Hooray! I was optimistic that he was getting enough to eat and I was right. We had some issues with Abby losing weight when she was his age, so we were daily/every other day visitors to weigh at the pediatricians office. So happy to be able to just stay at home this time and love on my kiddos.

My mom has been with us since we came home from the hospital, and what a help she has been. She will be going home tommorow or Friday, and I will be sad to see her go. I am just lucky she only loves about 5 miles away!!

Anyways, that is all for now! Just changing diapers, feeding babies and loving on them too!

Ethan is here!!

Well, let me just start off by saying...my hubbie is napping with the Abster and little Ethan is napping in his crib so I figure while all is still fresh in my mind...here you go!

On Wednesday we took Abby to Chili's to have our last family of 3 meal and then headed to drop her off with Nana & Papa. It was a little sad to leave her knowing that her world was going to change so much, but she is such a sweet girl that we knew she will be fine and adjust well. We came home and I showered (again) and washed my hair (again...Bonnie that is one of my secrets...haha!) And time went by soooooo slow, but finally it was time to head to East. When we got there we were taken to our room LDR 15. We got settled in and they started my IV and answered questions. This is when some peculiar things started to happen.

I never get queasy when my blood is taken, or over needles or ivs. Well this time after she put it in I got really nauseated. But it soon passed thankfully. My nurse (who was wonderful) left us to get some rest until it was time to start the drip & get the epidural. Well I started having some cramping and just couldn't get comfy...not to mention i was too excited to sleep. Anyways, I kept telling myself that I could get some shut eye when the came to do my epidural. Well 2 am came and went. They had 2 csections they were doing so they came to do my epi around3 instead. I was so happy to have it done. But this time I reacted to it with my lovely BP dropping super low. Well they have to give you meds to bring it back up and that can make you nauseated. Well it did of course! So here I am holding my head over a little white bucket...hilarious sight! That passed as well and I began to feel much better. So I finally got some sleep....well more like a 30 minute nap! Then Dr. Lawhon came around 6 to break my water. At this point I was already 4cm. Well as the morning went on some of my "fan club" (as i called them that day) arrived. When they checked me again I was only 5. I was starting to think he was going to take his sweet time like big sister.

Before we knew it though, I was feeling alot of pressure and knew I was close. They checked me and I was 9 and Dr. Lawhon told us that he would be back in an hour and we would have ourselves a baby! Sure enough a hour came and it was time. As everyone left the room, I got teary as I kissed my little girl and watched her wave me byebye! And before I knew it we were ready to push. I pushed 6 times and in about 10 minutes I saw my little boy for the first time! And he was as perfect as I could have dreamed! And right away he stole my heart! What a lucky girl I am! I feel blessed beyond measure that I have this precious little boy to complete our family! God is soooooooo GOOD!!

Big sister has done really well so far. Wasn't scared of mommy being in the hospital bed, but wouldn't sit with me either. Had the biggest smile on her face when she met her little brother!

All for now! Thank you for the prayers and well wishes! We really appreciate them!

Three SEC Champions!!

38 Weeks Preggo- no that isn't a basketball under my shirt he really is that out there!!

Today we celebrated Auburn kicking the poo-poo out of South Carolina! I am so proud to be an Auburn Tiger today as always. We got together with some friends to enjoy our last game as a family of three!! This "last" weekend has gone by way to quickly, but I am trying to soak it all in. Love on my Abby a little more and trying to get ready for the big change that will come this week! So happy and ready to meet our little boy, and get our "new" life started! WAR EAGLE!!!!
