So Much to Say...

As if life couldn't get anymore hectic.
Scott has finally been witness to the amount of time it takes to get 2 kids and 2 adults ready to go anywhere. It was pretty quick though, about an hour & a half. It usually takes me about 2 plus hours to get everyone out the door.

We had a great weekend, rainy and cold (on Sunday); yet relaxing and unproductive. I like those kids of weekends...LAZY.

I found some old pictures from about 2 years ago, maybe longer, of Allison, Scott and I.
Scott, probably 2 plus years ago, not much haas changed except face hair style.


Me about 2 plus years ago, amazing how much life catches up to you, my hair is now much lighter (from the onset of grey)



I just couldn't beleive how much Allison and Scotty look alike (the same jammies even, gotta love hand me downs).

The top is Allison about 3 months old, bottom Scotty about 1 month old, (actually taken last night)


We also ventured to the pumpkin patch on Saturday (it was about 80 degrees and sunny). We ended up going to the FFA run pumpkin patch to support our local high schools Future Farmers of America. For some reason Allison is obsessed with pumpkins, she had a blast looking and touching all the giant squashes and pointing out all the squishy ones.






Hope all of you had a wonderful wekend, I am off to take a quick nap before the kiddies wake up.

The Amazing Technicolored Dream Beard

The amazing part of the whole thing is that she was dancing around the livingroom coloring** her chin before I realised that she was actually COLORING HER CHIN.
By the look on her face she was pretty proud of her masterpiece.
**I am very thankful that it was washable marker

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

More Baby Pics

More pictures of the kids is all I have. Nothing exciting is happening. Had a doctors appointment today and am cleared for exercise and lifting so I am gearing up to lose about 20 lbs baby gain. I have already lost about 20lbs so the last 20 doesn't seem so bad.

Since I am breast feeding I am just changing the types of foods I am eating, more nutritious stuff and less of the yummy junk I ate throughout the pregnancy. By next year I should be back to my old self again.


Allison just had to have a "squishy" like her brother


She just can't resist laying down next to him no matter where we set him down, she is right by his side.


Showing him her bibidi bobidi boo wand she got from our neighbors, it glows in the dark.


Singing us a little song and hamming it up a bit


He is all cheeks and chin, all 8 pounds of my squishy baby, nom nom nom


A little less yellow now, jaundice is going away


Always sleeping, that's a good thing

Have a wonderful day!!!

Finding Time

Finding time...
to do everyday housey things
take care of a 2 year old and a newborn
to squeeze in some sleep
leaves hardly anytime to blog.

But every minute is so worth the exhausting effort. I love our newly expanded family, our son is a great sleeper and hardly ever cries. Allison on the other hand has been waking everyone up at about 1:30am to eat waffles and play with brother. I can't wait until she gets her sleep schedule back to normal.

Now for some new baby pics...



He is still a bit yellow from the jaundice but it is improving alot


No post would be complete without hammy Allison!!!

Have a great day!!!

Scott jr.

He finally arrived weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 3oz, 20 inches in length and the most baby hair I have ever seen.


I am rested and getting around very well despite having a c-section. Surviving only on ibprofen as pain meds, pretty good considering I had major surgery.



Allison adores him and cracks up when he has the hiccups. It seems to be the funniest thing she has ever seen.


Scott jr. is doing great, a little jaundiced but awesome. We had to go back to the hospital and have a bit more blood taken so they can double check the billiruben, it was high yesterday, today it was down 2 points and at this age it won't go back up so everything is ok.


The proudest daddy ever!!!


I am so blessed to have a wonderful beautiful complete family.

Today is the Day

I am leaving for the hospital in about 20 minutes...

I really can't believe the day is finally here. These have been the longest 9 months of my life. But today got here quicker then I thought it would.

In a few short hours I will see my new baby, I am so excited.

I am also SO thirsty. Since I have to have a repeat c-section, I wasn't able to eat or drink anything after midnight to keep the neasuea at bay after I get the epidural.
I need water so bad, my mouth feels like a desert. I haven't had to pee yet this morning either which is amazing since it feels like I go every hour or so. Better get used to it though, after this morning I will no longer have someone sitting on my bladder while kicking my kidneys.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Allison + One = Four

This time tomorrow I will be relaxing(???)in the hospital with my new baby boy. I am scheduled for an early morning repeat c-section. The hospital will call to comfirm the surgery time and I have to arrive 2 hours before. Right now I am schedule for the 8:30am slot, but it could be moved to 7:30am which means leaving the house by 5am. So much for sleeping in.
You never get to sleep at the hospital. The nurses are checking you every 2 hours, the baby eats and poops every 2 hours and when you do finally fall asleep, here comes one of the doctors or lunch or housekeeping or another nurse just to see how you are doing.
The only time you do get to fully recover is when your home. Comfortable in your own home surrounded with the people you love.



I am really nervous this time, though. With Allison it was an emergency c-section. My hormones had a chance to tell the body, "hey, here comes a baby, you better get ready." This time I am not going into labor, at least I haven't yet, so I am curious how my body will react once baby is in my arms, wanting to nurse. Will my body know what to do without that signal from the brain, that it's go time??? We will find out.

I am so blessed to be a mom again.
I can't wait to show you all what baby Scott looks like.

Allison is in for a BIG surprise when someone new is at our house that cries more than she does.
Can you top this baby brother???
