My Precious Maddie

Well, I just had to brag about how cute Maddie is. The funniest part is her chillin in a tube that is meant for the boys and just floating around the hot tub like she knew what she was doing (she was so relaxed) at one point she had her head back like she was really relaxing. Yes, she did fall through once but Daddy was there to catch her. I had to throw in a picture of my Little Devil Noah. He weighs as much as Talan now they get into some good fights. He also is jumping into the hot tub with no life vest or nothing he just jumps in expecting someone to catch him under the water, yes we have had to jump in a few times to get him. Needless to say he has gone in with his clothes on a few times so we are getting a pool fence.....FINALLY!!! Talan is doing well loving on Maddie all the time, he is sick right now with a sinus infection and refuses to take his antibiotic, which has not been easy, we have been spit at a few times so yes he has got put in time out. Me I am getting fatter everyday, I am hungry all the time, lets just say I had a bowl of ice cream for a snack and wasn't filled so I ate a honey bun after, weight gain here I come with semi-opened arms :-)

Last Weekend in Feb

Well before we went down to see Mike's family in Parrish, we decided that it was time to cut Maddie's hair. Her bangs came past her eyes and she had about 5 strands of hair in the back that looked like a tail. Yes we cut it ourselves and yes it is a little bit off, but looks much better than before, we can actually see her eyes now. We went down to visits Mike's family since Mike's brother was in town with there new baby Grant. I took a few picutes of Grant and Westen (my other nephew) who were born a day apart. Mike had a nice little birthday party, he had a fisherman cake which of course everyone loved. The kids played really hard especially Talan, he was complaining the next day that his legs hurt and he was only up an hour and then went back to bed for 2.5 hours. As for me, I feel like crap, morning sickness galore, today I had to eat abotu 1/4 bag of pretzels and drink 1/2 of a sprite to keep myself from hurling. My Nanny (my grandmother) said she had a dream the other day that I had a boy girl twin so I am hoping this is not true, because yes people I would be freaking out.

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.
