Kaidens first day of summer school

Kaiden has been saying,"Mom when do I get to go to school." I tell him he will start preschool in September but of course kids have no concept of time. I was talking to my friend last week and she told me she enrolled her kids in a summer school at the preschool her daughter went to. I thought it would be fun for Kaiden to go and meet some kids his age.
Today was his first day. I had to wake him up and he was a little grouchy until I told him he was going to school. He got right up, put on his clothes and backpack and was ready to go. On the way there he said,"Mom don't cry ok." I told him I wouldn't although I did have to hold back tears. When we walked in he went right to the tables and started playing play dough with the kids. I gave him a kiss and told him bye and he could of cared less that I was leaving. I thought he would of had a hard time with me leaving but he didn't. When I picked him up he ran right up to me and showed me the rocket he painted. He told me he played in the sand, painted and ate pizza. His teacher said he did so good and she just thought he was so cute. He is so excited to go on Wednesday.

Rykers first sponge bath

For some reason, I get really nerves to give the babies a bath when they get home. I always fell like I'm going to drop them. So Mike usually does it for the first week. Ryker screamed the whole time we were bathing him. He didn't like it to much. Kaiden also helped us. Once we got him wrapped up in his towel he was happy!

Baby Ryker is finally here!!!

Rykers first bath. He didn't like it to much.

Kaiden was getting bored in the hospital room so dad let him draw on the board.

Yay!!! I'm coming home!!

What a excited day!! Kaiden and I woke up and we were fixing breakfast and I could feel the baby going crazy in my stomach. He was moving around so much that I thought I was peeing my pants. Well, after a half hour it didn't stop so I called the hospital and they told me to come in and get checked that it was probably my water leaking. I called Mike at work and told him we might be having a baby today. I had to hurry and pack mine, Kaiden and the baby stuff. I was not prepared at all.
When we got to the hospital around 9 am, they check to see if it was my water. It showed it wasn't my water. I told them that was what happened with Kaiden and it was my water. They tested it for 2 hours and finally my water broke. And of course the test showed it still wasn't my water. They admitted me and tried to give me a IV. Two hours later they had to call the anesthesiologist to put it in because my veins kept collapsing. I was dehedrated.
I got my epidural at 4 and pushed 5 times and our little Ryker was born at 6:42 pm.
Mike and I are so grateful to have 2 amazing boys. They both bring such joy and happiness to our lives. Kaiden has been such a big brother and a huge help. I hope when they get older they are very close with each other.

I'm a Auntie again!!

Baby Coles was born April 18, 2010 at 3:22 pm. She weighed 7lbs. 9 oz. and was 18 inches long. Kaiden waited patientley for 2 hours to hold her. He was so excited. Then he asked were his baby brother was.

Carly waited along time to hold her to!

Oh my gosh, what a exciting day! Mindy went in to be induced yesterday at 7:30 and eight hours later little baby Coles was born. They haven't named her yet but I think her name will be Harlee. She is so pretty. She has little tiny features and dark black hair. I had Carson and Jaycee yesterday and when we arrived at the hospital they were so excited. The baby was screaming because she was getting her shots and it scared Carson a little bit. The kids got to hold her and watch Uncle Mike give her a bath. Kaiden kept asking to hold her but we told him he had to wait. When he finally held her, you should of seen the smile on his face. I really didn't think he would want anything to do with her but he did. He asked us were his baby brother was and I had to explain to him that he was still in mommy's tommy and he would be here soon. I am so excited for my sister and her family!! Today is Mindy's birthday and I am sure she couldn't of asked for a better gift!
This whole baby thing got me thinking about how unprepared I am. I have alot to still do and buy and I only have 6 weeks left. I better get on the ball.

34 weeks and counting....

I can't believe that today I am 34 weeks along. I never thought I would say this, but looking back it's went by pretty fast. It is so weird to me how different this pregnancy has been compared to when I was pregnant with Kaiden. I thought I was having a girl at first just because of how different they have been. I was only sick a total of 4 days with this little guy. I was nauseated to but nothing like I was with Kaiden. I had heartburn at first with Kaiden and then it went away. With this one, I got it at 3 months and still have it. It was so bad to the point were it would make me sick. Thank goodness for Prilosec!!!! I have to take it everyday and since I've been taking it I haven't had it. I never felt Kaiden move until about 22 weeks. It was the most amazing feeling ever. He would move about once a day and that was it. This baby I swear has a party in my belly starting around 5pm and doesn't stop moving until morning. He also gets the hecups everynight around 8. I have been really tired with this pregnancy to but I think part of it is from chasing a 3 year old all day.

I am so thankful to be carrying this wonderful gift and so lucky we have both been healthy. I can't wait until he get here to make our little family complete!!

My two favorite boy's that make me SMILE everyday!

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile!!

Daddy's little helper!

The funnest part! Painting the babies room.

Kaiden helping daddy paint the bathroom.

My poor hubby has had alot of honey dues this week. Since we decided to take our house off the market, I thought it would be nice to tear everything apart. Mike thinks I am nesting, I think I'm just CRAZY!! I had him paint our hall bathroom and buy all new stuff for it. Now we are in the process of painting the babies room. Oh and we are getting new carpet next week. I told him it would be nice to have it all done before the baby gets here.
Kaiden has been such a big help. He has wanted to help with everything. I think he does a better paint job then I do.
