Welcome to the World, Baby J!!!

Baby J joined us Tuesday at 1:52 in the afternoon. He tipped the scales at 8 lbs 12 oz. and chalked up at 20 1/2". A healthy bundle of joy!


We had a pretty smooth Labor and Delivery. Mom and Dad played cards for most of it and we had a great time with the staff.

First Bath.


First Feeding.





This was our L&D Nurse, Chris. She was wonderful. She worked very hard for Mom and was an angel. She massaged Mom and was very positive and friendly throughout the whole labor. Without her this probably would not have been as great of an experience as it was. She almost got to catch the baby. Once Mom was ready to push she only pushed through 4 or 5 contractions and the baby almost popped out into Chris' lap. We had to stop Mom from pushing because the doctor was taking too long to come in. Once the doctor was there, Mom pushed once for the head and once more for the rest. As his body was coming out the umbilical cord was loosely wrapped around his body and as he slid out the cord tied into a not. The doctor seemed to think it was cool, so did Dad. They say it is rare to have a ‘true knot’ in the cord.

Daddy finally gets a turn.


Froglegs loves Baby J.





Grandma Honeybee gets to have a moment with J. Dad and Froglegs went out to the airport to pick up Grandma and then went to the hospital to pick up Mommy and Baby J. Boy was Mommy ready to go home! The staff at the hospital took really good care of her--maybe too good. They kept coming in to check on them about every hour. Mom could never get to sleep.


This is Baby J's first outfit (other than hospital gear).


Froglegs brought Mommy some beautiful "Mums". He gave Baby J a little stuffed dog--it's in the car seat in the next pic.


Baby J is all packed up and ready to go!


Here we are leaving the hospital. We had to have a family picture with our new little brother and our Big Brother Jesus. Baby J was born at Jesus' Hospital.

Doctor News

Hey just an update for my family clan. I went to the doc today and he told me I was dilated to a 4 and that I was 60% effaced. He also told me that I am going to have an easier labor since my body is doing my job for me already. So, it is any time now we will have number two. SO, be ready for a call. I can't wait to get it over with the waiting game is killing my patience. Love you talk to you hopefully soon!!!!

Update Summer 2008

Just like Froglegs and Mommy's tummy the garden grew this Summer. We enjoy the fruits of our labors. Here is a quick update of what I haven't updated on the blog. Enjoy.




While daddy was gone my friend and I had a baby shower thrown in our honor. It was fun!! Froglegs loved the presents!!!



We went to Pixie Woods with our friends. Tons of fun again.









He is getting braver on new things like slides. He has been hesitant to go on them.
He wanted to put on mommy's makeup that day. He thought he looked beautiful.


Daddy was so proud to pick his first ripe cantelope.
FHE one day he learned about obeying keeps us protected from harm.
Poope in the toilet rewards. He loves balloons.
This is his diaper in the morning before we change it.

We caught Froglegs sniffing markers one morning. Daddy left it out! I was just glad he didn't draw all over something else.
This is him hitting his first pinata at a primary function.He was so happy to get two pieces he ran to show everyone before the pinata even broke.
He's petting his caterpillar he found on our tomatoes.
This is him role playing with mommy on being a big brother. The baby's name is baby Jack Jack.

Froglegs loves any kind of music. This is him trying to play "tard"

Prayers

Hey everyone,
Some fun news. Frogleg's says his own prayers now!! I assisted him two or three days ago for family prayer and the next day I asked whose turn it was and he said he wanted to do it. He said the same prayer 4 or 5 times before we told him it was time for bed. We were so happy for him. This morning he blessed the food all by himself too. He especially is grateful for presents and cake. It's in every prayer. And he said to "please bless the family." He also sings, I Am A Child of God and Happy birthday, ABC'... the most. He has more songs but those are his fav's right now. His favorite phrase is "Come on Baby light my fire." and "Tractor's Sexy"when he sees the tractors on the side of the road. Yes, I taught him those it's so cute to hear it come out of his mouth. I love being a mom!!! He's so funny!! He is the light of our lives we wouldn't trade him for the world.

I had the best birthday thanks for all your calls and cards. Love you and miss you.
