We're back!!

Wow, almost a year since I have blogged. We have been so wrapped up in our lives with raising Noah. He definitely keeps us on our toes. He is 14 months now. He is a wonderful toddler. He was a wonderful baby as well. He has been a sick baby, but I'll take that any day over something more serious. He got tubes put in his ears at 6 months old. And he has only had one ear infection since then. It's been wonderful. Noah started walking at 9 months old. And is literally running now. He will be our lil athlete. Noah does have to go get an EGD and a colonoscopy done on feb. 16th. He has been having diarrhea for almost two months now. They are checking him for ciliac disease and acid reflux and H. Ploryi. I just pray nothing is serious.

On a another note, Noah started full time daycare in October of last year. He loves it. He moved up out of the baby room the beginning of this year. It wasn't a good transition for him cause he loved his other teacher. We did cry every morning when I left for the first week. But now he walks in there like a champ. His great grandparents miss him so much. They do go and pick him up sometimes when they haven't seen him in awhile.

Noah has had 9 hair cuts before his first birthday. His hair grows so fast. We had his first birthday party at our house. We decorated it in polar express train theme since my Christmas tree and decorations were already up. We had 50 people in our house. It was so crowded but he had a great birthday party.

Noah can say all kinds of words. It's so cute. He can say bath, drakers, ball, mama, dada, bye bye, nana, papa, and bite. He is getting so smart.

Me and Bj started bible study class back up since Noah has been born. Thank you to his nana and papa for keeping noah for us so we can go. We want to raise Noah up knowing God, talking about him openly. We are working on bowing our head when we say prayer and saying amen. I just pray he grows up following the lord in all he does.

I'll post pics soon of our lil guy.

Catching up

ok I know I have went missing. Well lets see where I left off and how much has went by.

Well we have welcomed our lil man into the world on December 7th 2010 and 4:48 pm. Weighing 7lbs and 12 oz and 19 1/4 inches long. I was induced labor on the 7th at 8:00 am and had him at 4:48 pm. Labor was hetic and ended with a great prayer for a healthy baby and mommy. Due to I had two placenta's Noah heart rate went down with every contraction to 50 and I had to be put on oxygen for Noah. Once his heart rate went down so low they had to get him out fast. They had to woke me up to push and would have been 40 mintues of pushing turned into 10 mintues to get him out. They had to use the forcepts to get him out and needless to say Bj went white at that point. Thank goodness my mother and mother in law was in the room to help bj out. Once they got Noah out he was not crying. But after all he was a healthy boy. We got to come home two days later and he has been a great baby. He sleeps through the night since we brought him home. He never learned to breast feed so I just pumped and gave it to him in a bottle for the first three weeks. After that I was not producing enough for him so we switched to formula. He does great on that.

I went back to work when he was 6 weeks old. I thought that was going to be hard but I was ready to go back. I could not be a stay at home mom. I was really bored. Noah is staying with bj's nana and papa til beginning of april. They are enjoying him so much and he loves it as well.

Noah is growing everyday. We went for his 2 month checkup on the 17th and he weighs 12 lbs and 2oz. and is 24 1/2 inches long. He had two ear infections and we had no clue. So it will be hard to tell if he is hurting or not cause he doesn't cry. We have to take him to children's hospital to get an ultrasound of his hips because when the dr was checking his hips he kept feeling a popping and he wants to make sure they are not popping out of place. I pray that everything is just fine. Please keep Noah in yall's prayers for tuesday. He got his shots as well and he did great. He got through the second shot then started crying. He didn't cry for long though. Poor guy has been running a fever since then cause of the ear infections. But he is still all smiles still.

He is wearing a size 1 dipers, 0-3 month pants and 0-3 tops. He got his first haircut a week ago. Well we did it ourself. We just trimmed his side burns and took alittle off the top. His hair is so crazy we can not lay it down no matter what we do.

He sure does loves his daddy and his grandpa's. Mommy or grandma's can be talking to him and he will be smiling but when a grandpa or daddy start talking to him he laughs at loud. But he really is a momma's boy. lol

Me and bj are doing great. We are just trying to get into a routine of going back to work and taking care of noah. No one could prepare you for taking care of a baby. Don't get me wrong I love every second of it. Noah is a great baby too so I could not complain. He could be sitting on the couch all by him self for hours and he will be fine sitting there. The only time he really cries is when he is hungry, wet or really really tired.

Bj got another promotion at work. He is not moving to inside sales. He is alittle nervous but he will do great at it. He starts that on March 1st. It will be great cause now we can take turnes taking noah to his nana and papa's. On april 4th is when noah starts daycare. Now that day will be a hard day for me cause I don't know the people keeping him. I might cry my whole way to work that day.

Here are some pictures of Noah as he grows.

This is mostly how noah's hair stays.

This is Noah's cousin Zander. They are going to be best buds. They are 5 weeks apart.

31 Weeks

ok ok, I know I have been horrible about blogging. We have just been so busy. As soon as I get home from work I am just so tired I don' t feel like doing anything. I am 31 weeks. Only 9 more to go. I am on the count down. We head back to the doctor on tuesday and just a regular check up and then I will start going every two weeks. I have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for Oct. 18th and I can not wait. I can't wait to see his little face. I do beleive he is going to be just like BJ due to all the hiccups he gets at different times in the day. Bj's mom told me Bj got the hiccups all the time as well. Well so far I have gained 19lbs and I feel huge. Man it is a big difference to carry almost 20 lbs around. The only complaint I have is that I can not breath out of my nose and it is driving me crazy. My pregancy book says the inside of your nose tends to swell up and makes it hard to breath out of it. I am not a mouth breather either. lol



Hunting season as offically started and I will be a deer widow till Noah gets here on the weekends. I did tell bj he will have to cut his hunting weekends to his parents house to be closer by middle of November. I told him I didn't want him to be a hour away incase I go into labor early.



Noah is getting to know Bj voice now cause everytime Bj talks to him Noah moves. My mom got to feel him move for the first time the other day. He would never move for her when she would put her hand on my belly.



We pretty much have Noah's room ready for him. I still want to put something up on his wall about God but I haven't thought of a perfect bible verse yet. Baby showers will start this weekend and I am so excited about that.



Here is a picture of me at 31 Weeks.

20 Weeks

I am 20 Weeks today. I am half way, and I feel great. The only think I am not liking about the whole pregnacy is the raging hormones. I can be in a great mood one second and then instantly in a really bad mood or crying. I am not my self at all. I find myself being very irritable alot. I love my growing belly. It makes me happy to see that he is growing. I started to feel him move. I felt his first movement about 2 weeks ago. It feels like my stomach is twitching. Now I can feel it on the outside now. Bj still hasn't been able to feel it cause everytime Noah starts to move bj is not around or asleep.

I forgot I have not blogged in awhile. We went to find out the sex of the baby and It a Boy!!!! When we got to find out, My mom, Bj and bj's mom all got to go with us. Bj's mom started crying and my mom thought it was so neat. It is so amazing what God can do. I am so grateful for what God has done for us in our lives. We decided to name him Noah James. He is very healthy and everything looks great. I did find out that I do have two placenta's. I was pregnant with two but one died and the placenta didn't come out so I will carry it all the way. I didn't ask the doctor about it cause I was on cloud nine when I found out he was healthy. We go back to the doctor August 3rd so that is when I will ask all about it. I don't know if it will get bigger as Noah grows or if it is carrying blood and if it will take up some of Noah's room in there.

We almost finished Noah room. We decided to do it in razorback theme. As soon as we found out we started on it. Our guest room, which is Noah's room now was already in razorback so we decided to stick with it. I went to garage sales this past weekend and bought so many clothes for him. Some still had tags on them. Here on some pics of his room and me at 20 weeks.

Me at 20 weeks. I have gained 9 lbs already.

Me and Bj redid this dresser. We sanded it down and painted it black. We have to go buy silver handles for it and put it on there now. Bj is very proud of it. I thought it turned out pretty good. Bj said he would like to do one for his brother travis when they get Zander's room for him. He really enjoyed doing it. These are half of the clothes I bought for Noah at the garage sales. The other half are in the drawers. It was so much fun doing that. I can't wait to start dressing him.

Baby update at 16 weeks

We went to the doctor today and he said everything looks great. The heartbeat was 156 beats a minute. The doctor said it sounds like a girl but who knows. We get to find out what we are having on July 6th at 8:30 in the morning. I can't wait. I am so excited. I just hope the baby will cooperate. My mom and Bj's mom is going to be able to go the the doctor with us when we find out so I am glad they can be involved in it as well. I just pray to God that our baby will be healthy and everything will got great. It is all in God's hands and what he has in plan for us. I am feeling much better during this trimester. I have bad acid reflux but I guess I better get used to that. I can still wear my clothes but I am wearing the bella band to cover up the upbutton and zipped pants. I don't want to go out and buy alot of materity clothes since I will be the biggest in the winter.

this is at 16 weeks preggo.

Me and bj bought me a new car. I am so excited. I got a 2009 Nissan Altima. Its white. I love it, and Bj loves it too since he can drive it now. My honda was a standard and he could not drive it. It is a mommy car.

As soon as we find out what we are having we are going to start doing the baby's room. We got the crib in already, it just needs to be put together. I keep going in the room and looking at it in the box. I can't wait to start doing that. I will post pics when that is ready.

Second Trimester!!!

yeaaaa, I made it to second trimester. I hope everything starts to feel alot better during this trimester. It really has not been too bad but it just seemed like the further long I got the more I got sick at night. I have learned I can not let myself get starving and let myself get over stuffed. Bj has been great. Everytime I do get sick he always brings me a wet wash cloth.



We did go to the dr. on the May 20th. We got to hear the heart beat. It was 150 beats per minute. It was so great to hear that. It was a big relief to hear it. Bj asked me after we left the dr. " how did he not know it was your heart beat?" I told him my heart don't beat that fast. He said oh yea. lol The dr. found the heart beat right away. He told me I was in the pudgy stage. haha He said ether people are thinking she is eating alot more or she is pregnant. I can' wait to really start having a belly to know I am pregnant cause right now I just look like I ate too many cookies. Here is a picture at 13 weeks and 4 days. I'm not

showing very much I know but I feel like it. I did just got buy the bella band. I love it. It is really comfortable. It holds up unbutton and zipped pants. I did go buy tennis skirts and some sun dresses to wear during the summer so when I do get alittle bigger I won't have to worry about pants. Winter will be another story.

We will got back to the dr. on the 24th of this month. We get to find out what we are having anytime after July 4th. So I am hoping the dr. will make a special appt to find out instead of waiting four more weeks after dr. appt. I will be 16 weeks when we do go back to see the dr. Bj did tell me that he wants to go to every dr. appt so I was excited that he wants to do that. I am so glad he is getting invloved and he keeps rubbing my belly and talking to Noah as he says it is. haha

We just bought our crib and mattress today for the nursery. I am so excited. I can't wait to get everything set up and find out what we are having so I can go shopping and decorate.

We have been going to the lake alot this summer and it has been a blast. We had a scare last weekend. I started to bleed but called dr. and he said everything was fine and it stopped right away. We were both so scared but it is all in God's hands and it's his plan. Bj will not let me go on the boat anymore but I don't blaim him. Our boat is really bouncy so we don't want to take a chance. So instead me and bj's grandma when shopping. I learned that when you are pregnant you do burn alot easier, and let me tell you. I roasted my back. I have to be careful now more than normal. Memorial Day this year was a blast. We had alot of family time and it was great hanging out with family and enjoying the lake.

Me and Bj just went to our first 3D movie at the imax. I know, I know, we have waited this long to go to one. It was amazing. We went and saw shrek the final chapter. It was so much fun. It was great just spending time with each other and enjoying a movie.

close to the second trimester

Well I am getting alot closer to the second trimester. I am 11 weeks this week and we get to go back to the doctor this week. We are going on thursday and bj gets to go with me this time. We will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat this time. I am so excited. It will be a relief to hear that so I know that he or she is growing. We have decided on the names of a boy or girl. Which is a miracle cause me and bj hardly agree on anything. lol If it is a girl her name will be Kloee or Kloie. Haven't decided how to spell it yet. If it is a boy it will be Noah. We haven't thought of a middle name for Noah yet but we have one for Kloie. We are not saying till we find out for sure what we are having. First trimester has not been that bad. I do get tired more now and have gotten sick a few mornings and nights. I learned I can not eat spicy food at night becasue it makes me sick. Can't drink a coke or grape juice right when I get up cause does the same thing.

Well I already feel big and I know I know, just wait and see when I get really big. I am starting to get a little pooch. Not much of one though.

Bj finds out this wedensday what his raise will end up being. He is so excited and loves his new job. He is not used to being in a office all day. He finally learned all the parts to it and likes it very well.

Mother's day was a very good day. We went to church and then to Bj's grandparents house and then to my brother's house for my mom's side of the family. I got my first mother's day present. It was so nice cause I really didn't think about it. My brother's girlfriend got me a card and a plant in a pot that had happy Mother's day on it. I am so ready to be a mom and have a little one and have the relationships my mom has with her kids. My mom is very close to me and my brother. My mom is my best friend. I can't wait to be a mom and raise my kids the way my mom has raised me and has been a great role model.
