It has been a worlwind of a day. momma had an appointment with the doctor first thing this morning, and while there, everything looked great. The doctor, doula, and momma all wanted to avoid induction and just let Caleb come on his own time. Momma went home and within a few hours started having contractions. Within 3 hours she was very uncomfortable and ready to head to the hospital. We checked into the hospital at 6:30pm, doctor came by and then left for another delivery. Momma was ready to push by 9:00pm. The doctor did not make it back in time for delivery as Caleb was born at 9:15pm. He weighed 7lbs 2oz, and was 19.75" long. Momma is walking around and doing great. Baby is in the room nursing like a champ.

Probably the last baby update

So I have officially been cleared for delivery. I am no longer on restricted activity and have actually been encouraged to start becoming very active. Baby looks great and appears to be developing right on target. At my last visit the Dr. said that now that we are full term and actually 38 weeks tomorrow that she would give me ten days to go into labor here at home, and after that she would rather induce than let me go much longer than that. That means this little man is going to be here in just over a week or less! Crazy! I have been trying so hard to not go into labor for months and now I have one week to go into labor on my own for will have to be admitted for induction. With that, the family and I are taking walks each night around the neighborhood and I am trying to dance around the house which let me tell you is not exactly easy at 9 and half months pregnant.

Well, we will keep you updated and will send out an email when Caleb is born with pictures and all the details!

Little Sis' 2nd birthday

We could not feel more blessed to have a happy and healthy little girl than we did today. Although her birthday is not technically for a few more days we decided to have a family fun day and celebrate anyways. It was very low key and was with just the four of us, but it was a lot of fun anyways.

Like before mommy likes to make the cake for each child's birthday, but since I have not even been able to keep the kitchen clean with just day to day life I thought that we would survive with just cupcakes this year. They were however pink and sparkle and the kids got to help make them which made it even more fun.

Occasionally they are actually nice to each other so when I get a chance to for a picture of it I try and capitalize!

Little Sis' eyes say it all here. She was really excited but then questioned us when we told to wait before she grabbed a cupcake.

I think she liked the balloons more than anything! She loved watching them float to the ceiling and then grab them back down.

Oh and look at that sweet darling face! She is a sassy one now days.

Her present this year from mom and dad was a diaper bag and doll accessories. I purchased the diaper bag from etsy, but then I actually made all the rest of the contents. It has wipes and cloth diapers and a infant/doll carrier. It was a ton of work, but I am really happy with the way it turned out.

The picture makes it really hard to see the carrier, but essentially it is just like and ERGO carrier that allows Little Sis to carry her doll around either facing forward or with the flap up if "baby Lexi" is sleeping. Little Sis is still a little confused as to why she needs to carry her doll in this manner but I am sure when she starts to see mommy put the new baby in the carrier she will pick it up quickly.
