Our neighborhood is building more homes and my husband and son made use of the left over wood. My husband decided to teach Caden how to make a ramp and jump it.
A very happy boy!
Sister sits there and looks pretty while she watches.
For Mother's Day Caden's Uncle brought his 4 wheeler to ride.
I like this picture.
Our favorite Aunt, Aunt Paula!:))))
Caden has recently been fascinated with worms because him and Daddy use them to go fishing. One day Caden was wanting to go fishing, so the boys went out to go find some worms. Usually they go to the store and get them. So I just continued on his fascination and did a unit about them in Mommy School. We made a worm home and then went on a worm hunt. Hannah was not too interested in the worms or the hunt. That is why she is not holding her worm home in the first photo!
We also did some activities from
KidsSoup, sorry no pictures.
Hannah has finally written her name! I am so proud of her. I never pushed her, I just waited patiently.
It has taken her a while to be interested in writing her letters and even coloring. She was just never as interested as Caden was at her age. It is amazing how each child is so different and goes at his or her own pace.
Love this picture of the kids! They absolutely love their brother!
You can tell who loves each other in this picture! Haaa
Sweet boy!
Hannah and her cousin Eden!
Caden's first year to want to take a picture with the Easter bunny. Hannah wanted me to stand with her.
The best Daddy in the word!
Me and the kids!
Poor Carson didn't have an Easter basket! Mom is still not quite on top of things!
She loved her bathing suit and sunglasses the Easter Bunny brought her. She insisted on posing!
And posing again...there were more photos of her posing! lol
We had a wonderful Easter. We spent Thursday-Saturday in the country at Nonnie's house. The kids absolutely love it there. If we had a choice we would live in the country.
I am a little late for Carson's 2 months pictures. He is almost 3 months old now and I will post those soon too.
Carson is the best baby I have had!! He smiles every time I talk to him. Sleeps really well!!!! He has been sleeping through the night (6 hours) since he was 1 month old. Easter weekend he slept a straight 9 hours!!!!! Love this little boy!! He makes me so happy.
Wow! Carson is already 1 month old. He is such a good and sweet little baby. He nurses about every 2-3 hours, and a very efficient nurser. He rarely cries for more than a couple of minutes, which is a huge relief since Hannah was colic for 4 months. The little fussing he does is when he needs to burp or when he is tired and he just wants to be put down to sleep.
Caden and Hannah are doing very well! I thought Hannah would have a hard time when Carson arrived, but she is doing great especially since she is able to be held now. She was not able to be held my entire pregnancy. I do not hold her much but when she is hurt or just really tired I like to hold her. Caden absolutely loves Carson. I cant get his hands off of him. He tells me at least 5 times a day that he loves his brother. Caden loves to hold Carson's hands. While Caden is watching cartoons he holds one of Carson's hands the entire show. So cute!
He is already holding his head up!!!!
Carson arrived on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 2:19am.
On Wednesday, January 18th I had my Dr. appointment in the morning. The Dr said Carson didin't look like he would be here in the next couple of days so I planned to have a Dr. appointment for that following Monday to talk about induction. My original due was January 27th.
Later that day I decided that me and the kids should go for a short walk to the mailbox. Hoping that I could walk the baby out. So around 3:55pm we made it to the mailbox and I heard a pop and then my water broke.
We arrived at the hospital around 5pm because I had to wait for Aaron to come home from work and for Mee-Maw to come pick up the kids. We got to the hospital and they ask 101 questions and then they checked me and I was only 1cm. Pitocin was added and then before I new it I was 3cm and got an epidural. Epidural worked great until I reached 8cm. I believe I was 10cm around 1ish. I had to wait for the Dr to get there which felt like forever, it was only 10 minutes. I pushed for 45 minutes. I had a hard time pushing him in the beginning because the nurse lowered my potocin when we were waiting for the Dr. to get there. She forgot to increase it when I started pushing. So half way through the pushing they increased it and then it took me 15 minutes to push him out.
I am nursing him. As soon as he came out he took about 3 tries to latch on and he stayed there for 40 minutes. Neither one of my kids latched on very well at the hospital. Caden had to use the shield and Hannah never nursed long enough to get full. This little guy nurses very well considering he is tongue tied. Which means the little piece if skin that is under the tongue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth is too close to the end of the tongue. It can possibly interfere with nursing, but he seems to be doing well.
Overall I had a great pregnancy and birth. I did not tear which helps healing much nicer.
Oh, and did I mention I have another perfect angel to add to our family!
Ok, so here is a picture of me, my huge belly and my sister-n-law. When I looked at this picture I did not realize how big my belly is. I was 35 weeks pregnant here.
I went to the Dr. today, my Dr. was not there so I saw another Dr. which was very thorough. I still like my Dr. though!
He said Carson is about 6 1/2 lbs and I am about 1cm dilated and 30% effaced. There has not been much progress since last week so he does not think baby Carson will be here this week. The good news is that I am not strictly bed ritten I just need to take it easy until this Friday. I will be 37 weeks then, that is considered full term.
I am so glad that Carson is deciding to wait. I would much rather him be in my tummy as long as he needs so he will be a good eater. Hannah was born at 39 weeks and Caden was born at 37 1/2 weeks so who knows when he will be here. I can't wait to see what he looks like since Hannah is blonde hair blue eyes and Caden is brown hair brown eyes.
I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I got put on bed rest.:( The best part is that it is only for 1 week.!:) I was on bed rest with Caden for 2-3 weeks and Hannah was 1 1/2 months. This pregnancy is 1 week, so I have no complaints.
Aaron will be off until Monday so that is a big help! I am so excited to see Carson! This is my last pregnancy, so I am so excited to complete our family!
I will not be posting until after the baby has arrived so be on a look out for baby Carson's arrival!
