Disney for Mike's Birthday

Well we went to Disney for Mike's birthday and it was crazy. It was so packed, we only got to go on a few rides, because the wait time was about 50 minutes and that was impossible with Noah. We did 1 45 minute wait and Noah screamed the whole time. We had fun though watching the parade and watching Noah's eyes light up. On a heavy note.....chuckle, yes I have known I am pregnant for about 2 seconds, but I am getting so fat I can tell in pictures probably because I can't stop eating and I feel like the baby is sucking the life from me so I keep eating....hahahahaha, so much for the eleven pound weight loss :-(

PREGNANT AGAIN!!

Yes, everyone I am pregnant again. Have no idea when I am due, because just stopped breastfeeding about 5 1/2 weeks ago, so never got my time of the month yet. All I have to go on is a few weeks ago I started feeling like crap and two weeks ago I took a test and it was negative, so my best guess is I am due the last week of October. There is a poll on the site which names everyone likes out of our picks. We keep going back and forth so we though we would ask everyone what they thought of the names we liked. Middle name John is after my dad and the middle name Susan is after Mike's mom. We figured it is nice to pass down family names, hench Noah Michael, Madeline Kaye and Steve named his little boy Grant Edward so wo are going to keep it rolling. Mike is excited I am scared to death, because i will have 4 kids 4 and under, however Mike did say when Noah turns 2 I can put him in a preschool part time and Talan will be in pre-k next August so it will help me out a lot.

My friend in my mom's group is a photograher, she shot some great pictures of the kids. Here are a few. We are going to go back in a few months and take more, and focus on more indivdual ones.

Maddie and her infectious smile

Thought I would post some pictures of Maddie's great smile, gosh it is so big and those cheeks make it so perfect. No matter how frustrated you are when she smiles it all goes away. She has been doing great, 24oz sometimes more, 3 baby foods a day, and sips of juice. She is sleeping about 8 hours straight through the night and usually comes in our bed around 4am to snuggle with us until 630am. She will see her daddy soon at his work for her 6 month well check up and I will let you know how much she weighs.

Playdate at Meghans

Today we went over to our friend's Meghans house so the kids could play with her sons. They had a ball, espcially playing in the pile of dirt. Needless to say they needed a bath when we got home and Noah decided to take a poop in the tub....yeah fun!!! They also made arts and crafts and ate lunch and snacks.

Also notice Maddie without her tube, we decided to pull it last night because it had been almost 5 weeks and she was eating 24oz by mouth and babyfood and hardly coughing. Her CT scan showed sinusitis and her broncoscopy showed mild tracheomalacia and so far her lavage came back with bacteria in her lungs which now she is on antibiotics. There has been a lot of people praying for us at other churches in Chiefland other then ours and I truly believe that this is a miracle that she has completly turned around all of a sudden. She has been so happy today, not screaming her head off so I think the tube was very uncomfortable for her. I love looking at her beautiful little face and she has an infectious smile. Her cheek is a little raw from 5 weeks worth of tape but it will get better.

G-Parade Tampa

We took the kids to the Gasparilla parade in Tampa. Noah and Maddie got so many beads. We kept taking them off of them so everyone though they didn't get any so they got the best of the best. The got the huge long ones, the ones with ducks or other characters on them that were special ones only in the pirates pockets. Some of the beads were even of emblems of the floats that they didn't give out to just anyone. Noah got the most, everyone said they he was the cutest thing ever. Maddie was cute of course also, but I think she got the sympathy vote with the tube....LOL!!! They had a awsome time and so did we. We got there about 2.5 hours before the parade and the kids just ran around and ate so by the time the parade started they were excited. It was a great time!!!
