Hiccups

When I was pregnant with Indie I always talked about how strong her hiccups were. She still gets them all the time and they are the funniest things I have ever heard. In the hospital we even called the nurse in to ask her if they were normal cause they are so loud. She sounds like a little poodle. Listen for yourself. This was in the hospital when she was a day old
This was taken today

Well Indie is now 2 1/2 weeks old and still such a great baby. She is very mellow and we all love her very much. I am still resting trying to get my blood pressure down-but it is down from when we came home so thats good. Izaiah has adjusted so well, and he loves Indie and is so sweet with her. I still tear up when I see him interact with her..I love it!. Here are a couple of pictures from this last week.
We weren't expecting Indie to be here before Halloween so this was our improvised costume for her :)

We think we might have some curly hair on our hands...time will tell

Lovin being a mom

Bundled up ready to go to the park with Aunt Melissa, Harper and Izaiah

Indie Caia

SHE'S HERE!! Well our sweet little Indie came about 3 weeks early. The begining of last week I had a small abcess on my face that became infected. I went to insta care to have it taken care of. I ended up on antibiotics because of it. 2 days after starting the antibiotics I had an alergic reaction. I was so so itchy and nothing helped. Thurs. night around midnight we headed to the ER to try and get something to help me out. As the night progressed an allergic reaction turned into finding out my blood pressure was high, I had protein in my urine and my liver enzymes were high-all signs of pre-eclampsia. I ended up being transfered over to Labor and Delivery to be monitored and to get my blood pressure down. With in an hour I was admited and my told we'd be having the baby today. So crazy! In the next hour I was put on pitocin and my water was broken. Joe and I rushed to find someone to watch Izaiah (my mom was headed back from Vegas that day) and Joe headed home fast to get our stuff. The labor went well and she arrived at 3:55pm. She weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and 19.5 inches long. She looks like me (and like Izaiah when her eyes are closed) She looks just like my baby pictures. Izaiah got to meet her when we came home and he was so sweet with her. He has done very well-especially with me still not being able to lift or help much with him. He's such a sweet boy. I am grateful for these two little ones. Things are still a bit crazy-cause my blood pressure is still high so I am home bound and "rest" bound till next week-then we'll go from there. Anyways, here are the pics of Indie

Confessions of an emotional pregnant mom...

Well since I use this blog somewhat as my jounal...and I've got a lot on my mind this is going to be a venting post. I went to the Dr. yesterday and am dialated to a 2 and 60% effaced (at 36 weeks). I was pretty suprised since I really didnt dialate with Izaiah until 39 weeks (and it was to a 1) and then my water broke. Reality really set in that this baby is coming whether I am ready or not. Since my mom and dad are going out of town for 3 weeks when the baby is due I have an enduction date set for Nov. 3rd. Am I ready?!? I have been so excited to have another baby but I have been just as much if not more overwhelmed and worried. I have so many emotions and feelings about bringing another baby into this family. Will I be able to handle being a mother of 2? I have issues staying at home all day and I know with RSV and Swine flu we will be home-bound a lot of this winter-will I go crazy? More than any other feeling though is my worry about Izaiah. I feel in a way I am totally betraying him as a mom. I feel like all he knows is me and him and I am bringing this new baby into our lives and its gonna rock his world (and I am not sure if in a good way) I wonder how on earth I will love another baby like I love Izaiah (I know that sounds awful but I'm just being honest) Is he going to feel like I have abandoned him? I guess the reason I am writting this all is wondering if any of you mothers out there felt the same way with your second child-or am I just a crazy, emotional pregnant mom (which I know I am that too) What advice would you give for helping Izaiah get adjusted and for helping me be calm about this baby coming. I know when I see her so many of my fears will go away I just want advice. Thanks for letting me vent :)

Catch Up

So I have been so horrible at blogging...I realized that when this baby comes I will have even less time to blog so I thought I would at least get caught up and post about our summer. I really can no believe how fast this summer went-it baffles my mind. Here are some of our highlights!
Izaiah loved his birthday...he especially loved hearing everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to him-we sang it over and over and over. (after seeing these pictures I am now aware of how much Izaiah needed a haircut-it was a little ghetto :)





Fourth of July was a big hit..Izaiah loved the parade and the fireworks


Cousin time!!! Canyon, Lagoon and Cherry Hill were our favorites




Izaiah's big accident of the summer-he was dancing in our living room and fell and crashed into the coffee table (chipping the table from hitting it so hard) A huge goose-egg, a CT scan, and 2 black eyes later he is just fine!


We got to watch Joe play hockey-Izaiah even got to play on the ice after!


I think this was one of Izaiah's favorite's of the summer-getting to see Big Blue!!! He loves him and was so excited to see him and give him five twice in one week

And for good measure...my huge belly at 34 weeks :)

Sure Do...

Sorry I have had quiet the boring blog lately. I will post pics soon. I just had to post this story-for memories and cause I think its soo funny. Izaiah's new phrase is "SURE DO" I have no idea where he picked it up but he says it at the funniest times. He has been going potty on the big toilet about once a day for a couple of months. I broke down and bought a small potty to start the potty training process soon. He was so excited and wanted to go poop and pee on it. So we put him on his frog toilet and went out in our living room with my parents. He kept trying to reach in and touch the poop (sick!) I yelled across the room "Izaiah are you touching that poop?" As to which he yelled back "SURE DO!" And he sure was! It may not sound as funny written down but we laughed so dang hard. I love that kid.
