Start of Summer......

A little Boo-Boo that Reed got

when he tripped going up the stairs of our deck :( I looks A LOT worse than it really was and it has healed up really nice!!! The picture on the above left is how we found Reed after we got his tongue under control, I went inside to clean up and came back out and he had fallen asleep under the neighbors tree :)

Gavin has now lost 6 teeth ALL in the front :) I guess no Corn on the Cob for him this summer ;)

This is Liam at 3 weeks, we had a little photo session in my room :)

Liam has been a GREAT baby!!! I really have nothing to complain about at all!!! he is pretty much on an every 4 hour schedule which is ok....he had his 4 week check-up this last wen. and has gained 2lbs. in the last 3 weeks!!! So I guess whatever we are doing is working just fine!!!

The other boys are adjusting pretty good, they love him very much, but like to really put on a show when people come over : It can really start to get to be alot at times :) But this too will pass (all to quick I might add!!!) Well I just wanted to throw up a quick up-date, will post again soon!!! :)

SURPRISE!!!

So I had my 38 week apt. this last Tues. morning (I was really like 37weeks 4days) and I was just going to have him check if I had a Yeast Infection or something?? Something just didnt seem right, so he checked me out and said that there seemed to be some swelling due to the pressure from the baby pushing down but he was not concerned about that and he also checked my cervix which was not open at all so he really was not concerned at all!!! Sent me home with a time to be there bright and early at 5:30 the next Tues. morning for my scheduled C-Section!!! Bummer right??? That is kinda how I felt, I was just really having a hard time sleeping and over all was just not feeling very good for the last weeks up till then!!! So I went home and continued with the rest of my day and did a hair cut then went home ( I was supposed to be done with work now but you know how that goes!!) I let Nate put the boy's to bed that night as I was just needing to put my feet up and chill! so I was just minding my own business watch American Idol and at about 9:30 I had this weird crampy pain and all of a sudden my lap FILLED with WATER!!! YIKES!!! I just sat there not really knowing what to do or what had really just happened!!! I started to yell as quiet as I could as to not wake the boys but loud enough that my deaf husband would be able to hear me!!!! :) (I knew that he had fallen asleep and I didnt know if had shut his hearing aids off or took them out or what!!) When he finally came down he was really kinda annoyed with me for some reason, so I asked him to come here please and we both just sat and stared at my lap that had continued to fill with fluid!!! Wondering what we should do????? We thought we should call my Mom (we needed someone to come stay with the boys who were sleeping) oh wait maybe we should call the hospital 1st??! Yeah we should do that, so that is what I did and they said that I should probably come in as soon as I could, so I called my Mom and told her what had happened and she was going to bring someone right in!!! I had my bag all ready to go because I brought it with to my apt that morning in case he decided to keep me there, but I still felt so very unprepared!!! and the whole way to Faribault I kept asking Nate if he had remembered this or that which he of course had remembered everything!!! He is so good at stuff like that :) We got to the hospital at about 10:30pm and they got me hooked up to all the monitors and about 11:30 or so the contractions started!!! WHAT???? Are you kidding me??? now I have to sit here and go through all of this because they are not going to do surgery till the morning!!! :( So no I did not get more than an hour of sleep all night and yes I had contractions ALL NIGHT LONG!!! And then they came in to start prepping for surgery at about 5:45am and at 6:56am they delivered a healthy happy 7lb.3oz. 18in. baby boy!!! :) He has been the "Perfect" baby, more than we could have asked for!! Here are some pictures of the big day and those after:
