One Month Old....

Today Kiptin turned one month old...seriously already? I cant believe how fast it has gone by, i remember with kaylin i couldn't wait for each mile stone to come and i just loved watching him grow up...I'm regretting that now cause he is so big and i want my little boy back, and now with kiptin i just want my little newborn to stay that way, He is getting such a cute personality now and is so much more alert and aware of who is talking to him, i love that!
It has been so much fun having a new baby in our house again, and yes a little crazy at the same time with a wild 3yr old but so much fun i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, they are such a great blessing to us and such perfect boys, they have truly shown us what life is REALLY about!

Here are a few things about kiptin at one month old!
*He is almost 9lbs already
*He is about 21 to 22 inches now
*He smiles ALL the time
(but i have yet to get ANY of them on camera cause I'm not
fast enough with the button)
*He is almost out of his NEWBORN clothes
(I'm kind of mean...i squeeze him into the ones i love just
cause I'm not ready for him to be out of them yet)
*He is pretty much out of NB diapers 8(
*He holds his head up so good and for a pretty long time too
*He really hates to be swaddled
*He is a Fire Ball...seriously he makes you sweat whenever you hold him.
*He has the cutest dimples ever.
*He love's to snuggle with his mommy!!!
*He is a really good baby
*and last but not least....HE IS PERFECT!

A little of our Christmas....

This year was quiet and nice...i loved not having to wake up and rush to every ones houses, i enjoyed just waking up and relaxing and watching kaylin enjoy opening his presents, and holding my new baby boy!
Kaylin LOVES anything and everything Mario right now, so of course Santa had to get him Mario stuff...he got pj's that are Mario kart racing ones (lucky find) a little Mario RC car...and his most favorite Mario game for his Wii...we made him open that one last and he was so excited he said "Santa really got me this, he didn't forget, i was a really good boy so he brought me the Mario game" is was really cute...he has been wanting this game for so long he See's it on TV and in books and always said "mom will Santa bring me that game" so that was a must for Christmas...he got so spoiled of course and he now has NO room in his room for anything.
Nick and i had a good Christmas too, we didn't get much for each other instead we got ourselves a new car since our truck just wasn't cutting it anymore and with two kids we decided to go with a more family friendly SUV but one that could still pull our trailers so we got a Durango and I LOVE IT, nick got a lap top so he could game with his brother...(lucky me) and some games of course. I got just what i wanted...new car, camera, and finally a new stone put in my wedding ring since i lost mine back in like October..now that I'm not pregnant anymore maybe i wont get those looks from people you know the ones like "she's so young and knocked up and not married" looks...well i got those all the time i felt like and not having a ring on my finger made me feel more like that so I'm sooo happy to have it back on my finger now. and the present i wanted the VERY MOST....MY LITTLE BOY!!!
here are just a few pictures of Christmas i will post some more later!

Our New Little Man...Kiptin!

Here is the last belly picture i got before he came...i was 37 weeks!




He Finally made it here, and on his own time too, he was not going to let anyone choose his birthday for him and im so glad he did. So here goes the story of Kiptins Birth for those of you who are interested and for my own sake as well since im forgetting things faster these days....Saturday was just like any other day i have had, we woke up and took kaylin out to have some fun and feed the ducks at the duck pond, went by to my nana's house and she needed me to get her some last minute Christmas shopping done and i was glad to do since i really wanted to walk as much as possible in hope's to go into labor, so we did the last of our Christmas shopping while we were out. Later that night i had some random contractions nothing new since i have had those on and off for a couple of weeks, went to dinner that night, watched a movie at our house with some of nicks family and then had nick and his dad give me a blessing for just in case kiptin was to come before we were induced and then headed off to bed. I woke up Sunday at 2am with some cramping nothing major just the usual, tried to sleep through it a bit and then thought to my self i should get up and walk the house and bounce on my ball for a while and maybe they would turn into something more, so i did that and the contractions were still coming but not in any pattern so i was getting mad that they would go into a pattern and just be the "real" thing so after about 2 hours i kinda sat/laid around and then at 4 am they started to get really bad but still no pattern just random, i waited until 5 to wake nick up and told him i didn't know if it was real or not but my contractions were really hurting, i told him i would wake him up again if i thought we needed to go in and i headed to the bathroom to try to take a bath, then they got REALLY BAD, and i walked out of the bathroom and nick had just got up and i said "ya i was just going to tell you maybe you should get up and get ready" now they were in a pattern pretty much about 3 min apart and painful. Nick called his parents to come be with kaylin and at 7 am we got to the hospital, they checked me and i was a 4cm and contracting still about every 3 min, my doc told them to keep me and we moved over to the labor room, by that time it was a little after 8 am and i told them to get me my epi ASAP before i could manage to do anything else, the epi took awhile to get cause all my veins didn't want them stuck with a needle so after 5 trys the epi tech got one of my veins to work and then manage finally to get me numb, i was in heaven after that and everything went back to being wonderful again!
I told nick that he should probably go and get himself some food and bring the stuff in from the car cause i was only a 4 and thought we would be there for awhile, he left got back about half hour later and then the nurse come in and checked me and she looked at me and said "oh my gosh, your an 8, and 100%" i looked at nick and we were both kinda shocked that it was almost over already and had barley began. My doc ran over from church this was a little after 10am and she check me and i was an 8 and she had to be back to teach the young women's at 11:15 so she was wondering what to do and then all the sudden my water broke and she said well that answers that, she said lets have a baby!!! and so i pushed through about 5 contractions and out he came 20 min later, at 11:07 am he was here, my doc even made it back to teach only a few minutes late!!
The entire experience was PERFECT and i would do it over again just like that, i loved everything about it (ok maybe not the IV not working the first try, but other then that) I really loved the experience i had this time, it was just what i wanted and it was over fast, seriously we were only in the labor room for 3 hours, and only at the hospital total for 4 hours and we were done!!! AWESOME BIRTH, AWESOME NURSES AND DOCTOR, AWESOME HUSBAND & BEST FRIEND RAYNI (who got to be there, thanks for the pictures) and AWESOME LITTLE BOY!!!!

Santa....

Finally nick got to be home one year to take kaylin to see Santa clause with me at the mall, i liked the Santa this year they are much better with a real beard! kaylin was excited to go and see him, but he got a little shy once we got to Santa, he still went up and sat on his lap and told him he wanted some cars for Christmas but then he couldn't get any other words out of his mouth, (good thing the list wasn't too long, lol) it was really cute! Santa told him about being a big brother and how he is going to have to help mommy out a lot with his baby brother, he really liked hearing that he was going to be a big brother! He told me that Santa now know what he wants for Christmas cause he sat on his lap and told him!

I have a a crazy week this week early weds morning about 3 am i woke up with really Strong contractions that lasted all night and i thought for sure i was in labor and so about 10 am they still hadn't stopped so i called my doc and they said go get checked but by the time i got to the hospital they had spaced out and were not as strong, i was so bummed, the nurse checked me and i was the same as i was last week at a 3 and 70%....so the next day (Thursday) i had my regular doc apt and she checked me and said "those contractions are doing there job, you are 3+ and 80% now" so that was nice to hear that i was progressing a little bit anyways. she said any day now he will want to come out, so my fingers are crossed!!!!

It's Starting.....

I went into the doc's yesterday for my 36 week apt. and she told me its now time to start the "checking" every week from here on out so i was pretty excited but tried not to get my hopes up that something had started to happen yet, she told me that its perfectly normal to be nothing or maybe just 1cm at this point so not to worry if that was the case...i told her i sure hope I'm more then that...she then proceeded to the fun part that everyone just loves....and she says "holy cow girl, your a 3 and 70%" and she said "oh my gosh your cervix is awesome i cant believe it, and his head is right here i can feel it, you just might get your wish for him to be here early after all!!!!"
Can i just say i had the biggest perma smile on my face....i know that i could stay this way for a long time but I'm just going to keep telling my self that I'm progressing everyday so some magic will happen!!!!
I really want him here the week before Christmas and would LOVE for him to come on his own and for me not to be induced so my fingers are crossed...everyone pray for me and send good mojo my way for him to come out!!!!
if you have any tricks on how to get contractions and whatever else let me know so i can start trying them next week!!!!

Thankful For.....

Iam so thankful for this little guy who changed my life FOREVER, who gave me the most price less gift of all...to be a mommy!


That little guy has changed so much and now is such a big boy, who brings so much laughter to our home and life's...he is the most perfect thing i have ever seen in my life. He makes everyday worth trying for even when things hit rock bottom he is just all smiles all the time....i love you so much kaylin james!


Iam thankful to have made it to 35 weeks pregnant after trying for over two years, even though its tough sometimes, I AM thankful to be able to carry another baby who will join our family and bring that much more joy to our lives.


im thankful for his little movements that say "HI MOM, DAD, BROTHER"...iam thankful that so far everything is going smoothly this time around!


Iam SO THANKFUL for my awesome husband who i have been so in love with since i was 14yrs old...(weird to think i was once 14 and now married and have almost two kids) i love him more everyday, he is such an awesome dad and loves his boy (soon to be boys) he is so involved with kaylin and has so much Patience with him and just takes care of his every need and want! He has the kindest heart of anyone i know and is really an example i try to fallow! I love you so much honey, thanks for taking me on this thrilling exciting ride through life with you!

Iam thankful for so many things in life and this time of year its nice to sit back and reflect on those things...I'm thankful for the temple, church, gospel without these life would seem a little meaningless. I am thankful for my family, friends, neighbors...they are always there for me and with out them it would be a little lonely. I am thankful for the blessing we have to enjoy the many wonderful things in this world and in our daily life's. I am also grateful (though its weird)for the trials that make us grow and come together in the hard times but the blessing that come after those trials are always worth the hardships!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!

Halloween....

Kaylin out trunk or treating....

We had our ward Halloween party and kaylin loved the spook house, thats were he stayed pretty much the entire time we were there.

Kaylin was SOOOO HAPPY when he found Mario, he fallowed him around the party and did what ever Mario did...he had a perma smile on his face!!!!!


kaylin and his two cousins!!

We couldn't leave kiptin out so for his first Halloween we made him a pumpkin! I always have told nick that if i was ever pregnant on Halloween i wanted him to paint a pumpkin on my belly....sooo thats what we did!!!! this is kaylin and daddy painting away.

I thought this would be a cute 32 week picture of me to put in kiptins scrapbook and to share with all of you....



This year Halloween was pretty weird and nick didnt get to do all the fun stuff with us again cause he was working and driving home from up north, but he did get the pumpkin painted and did make it home before Halloween was totally over. Kaylin had a great time though and was so fun the hole day, he loved being Luigi and by the end of the night he changed himself to super Mario instead, its strange to think next year we will be out with TWO kiddos trick or treating, but we cant wait...we can officially say we are having a baby next month now too!!

31 Week pic's & Kaylin cute cat......

Well i made it to 31 weeks now and i feel like its going by really pretty fast actually, seriously were the heck did October go???
I am so excited to see this little guy and hold him in my arms!! 40 weeks is a long time knowing that there is a little baby growing inside of you and being able to feel him kick and hiccup and wiggle just makes it that much longer it feels like.

I can definitely feel him more now, i can tell my fluid levels are getting lower cause i really feel every single movement he makes, it is so funny when he moves by my ribs cause it tickles me and i just start laughing and people around me look at me like I'm crazy, but it's so fun. Kaylin feels him move now and just laughs and laughs when he is rolling across his hand...i love it!!!!
I can wait to see my TWO BOYS play together and be the best of friends, i couldn't ask for anything more perfect!!!

Kaylin made these really cute kitty ears at school and his teacher drew the little nose and whiskers on each kid...i just loved it and let him be a kitty for the rest of the day....he makes one cute kitty!!!!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy....to my very BEST FRIEND!!
