Sneak Peak

Just a little sneak peak of the pics we had done by April Williams with Hopscotch Studios.

Zachary is Here!

So the morning started out bright and early. We were told to be at the hospital at 5AM to start my induction. Well, we got there on time only to find out that tons of women had gone into labor the night before and that morning so there were not any rooms available until 7AM. A little annoying, but it gave Jason and I some one on one time to talk about the upcoming event and names;).

I have to say, my experience was pretty easy. The hardest part of my labor and delivery was the IV(it made me almost pass out). Other than that, they started my petosin around 9. I think I got my epidural at like 10:30 and I didn't even feel it! I don't remember too many details after that other than Jason going to lunch and my lifelong best friend Kaylen showing up. We got to talk for about 15 minutes when I felt the incredible urge to push because there was so much pressure. I sent Kaylen to find Jason and called the nurse. My nurse was on her lunch break, but she had stayed there to eat because she had the feeling I wouldn't be long. By the time she came and checked me the baby had crowned and NO JASON! Luckily my dad took off running through the hospital and found him. Right when he got back, the doc showed up, got me in position, I pushed 5 times and the little cutie was out. The moment was awesome. I was so aware this time around of everything that was going on. It made the experience really neat.

The rest is personal, but it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life with Jason. I am so lucky to have a husband like him. Words cannot describe it.
Trev in the waiting room. He was so excited to be up there. He was a little hesitant when he first saw me, probably because of all the wires hooked up to me, but he still ran up to me and gave me a hug.
The puppy he bought for Zachary because it looks like his puppy. He said he wanted his baby brother to have a puppy just like him.
And there is Zachary! He is so cute he drives me crazy. I kept him in my room as much as possible because I just couldn't get enough of him. I found myself just staring at him because he looked like a little angel.
Proud daddy. This picture speaks way louder than my words.
Trying out his new bed.
Zach is the biggest snuggle bunny ever.
Look at that crazy hair. It must run in the family because my Sis' little guy Jacob had the same hair when he was born. It stuck up all over the place. This is after I combed it down wet, it just pops right back up.
Brothers. I have to say, all through my pregnancy people were telling me that Trevor was going to have a hard time adjusting and that they would never be friends because of the age difference. I have such a different feeling about this. I know Zach is not a "Threat" yet as they call it, but watching Trevor with him is so sweet. He brings him toys throughout the day, sings to him, tries to play with him and talks to him. He is so eager to constantly help with everything! He has such a different sweet smile when he is around his baby bother and that makes my heart full of joy. I am sure they will fight in the future as all sibling do, but I see them being the best of friends.

Baby Nook

So here is our "Baby Nook". I am hoping if I work hard like I did with Trev, this one will be sleeping through the night in no time that way I can move him out of the living room and into Trevs' room.

I am totally in love with the bedding. I got it for $50, originally $200. And the cute blocks were made by my Aunt Tammy.

I think we are pretty much set to go! My Mom and Sis had a "Baby Sprinkle" for me in December. I received so many adorable clothes, blankets and toys along with some diapers and wipes which will definitely be put to good use. Also, a friend of mine from church is having a "Dessert & Diaper" shower for me this Saturday. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many generous people. I feel kinda spoiled actually. I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate their support!

We have 8 days to go until I am induced. I am getting a little anxious to meet this little guy. Maybe I will go early on my own. Not to mention I am a little ready to be done with the glucose testing 4 times a day.

I am so happy to have my own little family. I am glad we waited a few years, but nothing compares to having kiddos. Jason is the best Husband and Dad. I love seeing him play and wrestle with Trev. I have no doubt that this next boy will love him just as much. It makes my heart melt every time Jas comes home and Trev just gets so excited. He has a special sparkle in his eye for him. I am truly grateful that Jason loves us more than work or some hobby. In a childs eyes, Love is spelt T.I.M.E. The last 4 years have been an adventure and I can't wait to add to it.

BRACES!!!

So I am about 15 again:) No it is not actually that bad. I had clear braces put on yesterday that have a tiny wire that is hardly visible. Right now I am quite uncomfortable, but the pain should go away by tomorrow. It isn't a throbbing pain, but it is a very irritating pain. They did the top yesterday and in 6 weeks they will be doing the bottom.

I am actually really excited about them and I don't feel as self conscious as I thought I would. Mostly because everyone I have seen hasn't even noticed them until I said something. Plus it is worth the sacrifice. I have been wanting braces for about 14 years now desperately and thanks to my sweet Husband I now have them. Merry early Christmas present to me! This gift I will definitely remember forever.

Thanks Jason!

Baby Shower

So my Sis' had a "Baby Sprinkle"(mini shower) for me on Saturday! It turned out so cute. She really put a lot of work into all of the details. I'll have to post pictures later because they are all on my moms camera, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped make it happen and to everyone that came! It was so much fun to see everyone and to receive such sweet gifts for our Future Little Boy.
