Update & Reagans 2 week pics!

Well I'm behind on my blog again! Things have been really crazy lately. Reagan is 4 1/2 weeks old now. Im not sure where time went! She is doing great and most of the time she is a very good calm baby. Last night she even slept for 6 hours straight!!! The boys are doing good, just enjoying school and making sure their sister doesn't cry without everyone knowing that she needs you. They are greaat big brothers! Quinton is good but exhausted. He will probably be glad when he is done playing mr. mom! He has been an absolute life saver these past weeks.
For those who don't know I have had about every postpartum complication that I can think of! I just had my 2nd D&C on thursday to correct a problem that the Dr has no clue what is or how to fix. So hopefully it will work and we will be on the road to recovery finally!!! I feel like I have missed out on the past month & I am ready to just enjoy my boys and be able to take care of my baby! On a bright note we got our baby girls pictures!! Aren't they cute?!

Good Luck Jordan!!!

A couple of weeks ago we had the hard task of sending my brother off on a year deployment. I'm surprised at how hard it was. You would think that getting rid of your obnoxious, loud mouthed brother for a year would be a good thing! Well instead we miss him already. I can't help but thinking that for my kids a year is a long time. My baby girl will be a year old when he comes home & have no clue who he is! I know that he is serving his country but its still a little scary knowing he will be right in the middle of all the horror of war. As we stood watching all the men and women get into formation and start boarding the plane, listening to all the sniffing and tears of the wifes and the children crying for their daddies I realized that I wouldn't be strong enough to send my husband . I admire all those strong enough to do so. Thank you to all that serve our great country!

Boarding the plane...

Oh how time flies!

I cant believe that my baby is 1 week old already! It has gone by so fast. It's so bittersweet. Soon she will be smiling and cooing. So much fun but at the same time I want her to stay my baby! Kale and Logan are being such big brothers! Kale wants to do nothing but hold her all day. And logan has given up his position of baby of the family really well. hes still not sure what to think of Reagan yet but he is very good about helping take care of her. i don't think she lets out more than a sqeak before he lets me know that she needs me. Overall we are starting to adjust to our new life with a bigger family . And I can't imagine life without all three of my wonderful kids!

Shes here!!!

YAY!!

ONLY 6 MORE DAYS!!!

countdown!!!

If all goes as planned we only have 8-9 days before we get to meet our baby girl! The Doctor is planning to induce on Sept 1 or 2. Though I wouldn't be dissapointed if at my appointment Thursday he decides to do it earlier....wishful thinking I know! I have officially hit that last stretch of miserable that is the joy of pregnancy. I can't eat, sleep, or hardly walk anymore. & I am one of the lucky ones that have Braxton Hicks the whole time, which have finally gotten very painful. And that nesting urge that has been driving me crazy? well I hit that point that I don't care I would rather sit on the couch and avoid any unecissary contractions. The baby won't care what my house looks like right? The upside to all the pain and suffering is knowing that the worse I feel the nearer the end is. And the start of a whole different set of sleepless nights & crying (the baby this time not me!) will begin. .....I LOVE BEING A MOM!

Extreme Makeover Softball game!

Extreme Home Makeover is in Pocatello! Its been such a neat thing to have them here & see a community come together to help. With all the craziness and excitement they have had the Pocatello Police on scene round the clock to help with security. Well the makeover crew decided that they wanted to play the Department in a softball game. So tonight Quinton got the opportunity to play against them. It was really neat to watch. They had such a blast! And we all had a fun time playing a little " name that crew member". I unfortunately only knew a few of them. Of course there was Pauly, and Ed and Jillian from the Bachelorette!

Quinton & Paul hanging out at third!




The whole gang!
