Kelton's First Week Home

Mikenna loves to hold kelton and will take him whenever she can.

I can't believe how big andon is. he's so heavy to carry around now and he has really been good with the baby. i am surprised.

when andon is happy he loves the camera and always gives me a big grin. he loves baby kelton and today started to say "brother" when he saw pictures of kelton. it's so cute

kelton has so far been the best of all my babies and it is such a blessing to have a non cauliky baby. we love him and are so grateful the Lord sent him to be part of our family.

Where's Waldo?

remember those fun books where's waldo?..... how about...

Where's Kelton?

my sister janell just moved here and she was showing us her play room and thought it would be fun to hide kelton in the pile of stuffed animals.... and it was fun.

Kelton Lane Baker

Yeah!! he is finally here. Kelton was born on wednesday at 12:34 pm. he weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. the surgery went well and the baby is perfectly healthy. he had to stay under the warmer for a couple of hours after he was born to get his temp. up but no problems at all for him or me. he is so beautiful and we love him so so much. we have been blessed with a good healthy baby. he eats great and sleeps a lot (compared to my other two cauliky babies) sorry it took me forever to get these pictures on but we got home from the hospital at 7 friday night so thanks for waiting.

mikenna loves her baby brother and is already such a good help

andon, as you can see, is a happy big brother to kelton

my three beautiful children.

after waiting at the hospital since 2:30 for my rogham shot, we are finally ready to go home at 7

Tomorrow is the Big Day

it is tuesday night and about 9 pm and i finally have a minute to do a quick blog to reflect my last nine months of pregnancy. 

when did i find out i was pregnant? january 11

what were my feelings when i found out? well, i was excited because i always enjoy being pregnant and i knew it could happen but i was a bit nervous when i realized that andon was not even one yet and the two would be only 19 months apart. i didn't tell john for like three days.

was i sick? yes, it was a very annoying sickness because it lasted all day long and so it was hard to enjoy doing anything, and everything about this pregnancy was harder because i had two kids at home to take care of.

what was the best day of my pregnancy? the day i found out i was having a boy. i wanted a boy so bad and was so afraid that i was going to have a girl. when the nurse said, "that is a penis, it's a boy" i was so relieved and could not be happier. and i really wanted a boy because the baby and andon would be close in age a boy would be perfect for him.

how much weight did i gain? 33 pounds

what were some of my cravings? chocolate milk, ice cream, candy, wheat thins, and frozen grapes

what are my most recent cravings? pancakes with peanut butter and syrup and soda

what are my feelings about tomorrow? i am excited to have a new baby and to hear that first cry and see that full head of hair. the miracle of birth still amazes me and i cant wait to see my new son. i am a little nervous because going into surgery is always a little scary but i trust my doctor and know that everything will be okay. i will be in a new hospital and am wondering how this experience will be. but besides all the mixed feelings, john gave me a blessing so i know that i will be taken care of and that me and the baby will be fine.

just a few last pictures before i lose all my pregnant curves!!! 

Girls Night

in the last couple of weeks, i have realized that my little mikenna is about to become a big sister again and i am going to need her help a lot.  i know i wont be able to spend as much time with her after the baby is here so i decided we needed a girls night/ mommy and mikenna night out. i told her about this last week and she has been very excited for our girls night. so here is my documentation on our night. we left at 4 in the afternoon and didn't get home till 9.

the first stop was walmart. i needed a few things and while we were there mikenna got to pick out a prize, a toothbrush, gum, and a new outfit for the baby. 

our next stop was dinner. we went to chick fil a and had some yummy food. mikenna played on the toys for while after we ate and then we left.

the main event for our night was getting pedicures. mikenna is very girly and i thought that getting her feet done would be fun. she loves massages and painting her nails too. this was new for me as well but i knew this would be fun for both of us. and we had a blast!! 

mikenna giggled a lot but liked the man working on my toes

she liked the massage on her feet the best. it felt good.

after getting her toes painted, mikenna was able to sit back in the chair and get the massage on her back. it was new to her and we sat there for a while and relaxed.

the finished project. mikenna's bright pink toes and my red toes. 

after pampering our feet, we went to get haircuts. this is mikenna starting her cut....

the finished project. i have been debating for a while whether to cut her hair or not but she wanted to get it cut so we did it. and i like the way it turned out.

our last stop was braum's, the icecream shop. mikenna had strawberry and i had german chocolate. it was delicious.

we got home and shared a hug on the couch before we went to bed. i love mikenna and she is such a good daughter. we had a great girls night. 

"Stolen" Camera

so the other day i left my camera on the couch, big mistake, and mikenna found it. she loves to take pictures, usually of her toys and stuff, but this time she was not the photographer. after her, treston, and andon disappeared for a while, i found out that they had my camera and this is what i found as the pictures. i laughed a ton because i thought it was hillarious. apparantly, mikenna had no problem posing while treston took the snapshots. and andon just was hangin around with them.

it doesn't matter what faces or poses they are doing, my kids are just so darn cute. i love them to pieces.
