My guy

When I found out I was having a boy, I was a TINY bit sad for a minute that it wasn't a girl. I remember my mom telling me, "Don't worry! Boys LOVE their moms!" Of course, I was so excited to have a boy.

I am so in love with that little boy! He is my buddy. He is all about trucks and tractors. He will wrestle you to the ground if you let him (taught by dad of course). Poor Sophia has already experienced these wrestling moves, unfortunately. Jr just wishes she were bigger and could get up and play. But in an instant he will run up to you and give you a hug and a kiss. He is such a sweet little boy. He is very worried about his sister if she is crying....he will run up to her and talk to her and ask her what's wrong. It's SOOOO ADORABLE! He will then proceed to wipe her mouth, try the binky, or if it's around, shove the bottle in her mouth. :-) He is so helpful, most of the time.

I cannot believe he will be 2 years old in December!!! Craziness how time flies. He has such a personality and is talking so much more every day. I can actually sit there and basically have a conversation with him, it trips me out.

My sleeping mask has become his headband. When he wakes up in the morning, he gets up and finds it and puts it on.

Isn't this the sweetest picture! Jr LOVES hanging out with daddy!

The story



So as a lot of you know, the last couple weeks of the pregnancy I was DONE! I will admit, I am really not one of those people who love being pregnant. Yes, it is incredible to feel the baby move and kick inside you......but I miss sleeping on my stomach, I am not one for pain, and I can DEFINATELY live without the HORRIBLE PAINFUL heartburn I seem to have every pregnancy! So I was done by the end nad Little Miss was set on making me wait until she was ready...how dare she right!? :-)

My due date came and went...I was having pretty strong contractions but they would come and go. The morning of the 9th (1 day after the due date) they definately got stronger. I knew I wasn't in active labor right then but I wanted her out!!! So we went to the hospital and I was only to a 3! But luckily my doctor is AMAZING and told them to admit me and he would start the Pitocin! YES! Not......they started the Pit. at 10:30 in the AM and by 9:00pm, nothing! So, my doctor broke my water about 10:30 and from there it went quick! They checked me about 12:30 and said I was only a 5........but then all of a sudden I had to push! So I did and her head was coming out. My dear husband and mother were in the hallway yelling for a dr. But anyways, basically the nurse delivered her and everything was perfect!!!!!

She weighed 8 pounds and 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. Although people think that is a big baby, we think she is completely TINY compared to what her 10 pound brother was. :-)
