Water Fun

its just another day at the water park. mikenna, andon, and sawyer had a blast. we had a picnic and just hung out.

Batter Up

john has been anxious to get andon a bat and ball to play with so the other night we went to target and got andon a bat and some balls. lesson one began that night and john tried to show and teach mikenna and andon how to bat. it was so funny to watch them play.

andon pretty much just liked to throw the balls the most... and there were balls flying every where all night

More Pictures

I don't get out much so all i have to blog are pictures i have taken at home. mikenna and andon love to hold baby kelton and so i manage to capture a few pictures here and there.

i tried to take a picture of the kids feet but it didn't exactly turn out like i wanted. i still think it's a cute picture though

kelton definately sleeps a lot but when he is awake he is very alert and so cute.

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.

this is kelton waiting to go home

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!!!
