Our babies

Since Lincoln was only 8 pounds when he was born, it feels as if he is tiny compared to Nevaeh who weighed in at 9 lbs 13 ounces. I still think he looks and feels fragile, even though he is bigger than the average baby.

We are adjusting slowly, better yet, I am adjusting slowly. It took Nevaeh about 2 or 3 days to get used to the fact that we have a baby in the house. It took Jacob about 3 seconds to adjust, he is an amazing father. Me on the other hand, at 10 days I am still adjusting. At home, I am fine, we feed, change and sleep BUT the idea of going out with him freaks me out!! How am I supposed to get out of the house on time now?!?!? It would take me about an hour to get ready to head out THEN he will need to nurse so I decide to scratch the plans!

And when is it okay to take a newborn out? 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, after his first set of shots? I am going a little stir crazy sitting here at home, even though I don't really have any where to go...

Hi Sister

Due to the "swine flu" NO kids under the age of 16 we allowed into the hospital therefore Nevaeh had to wait to meet her brother until we go home. Needless to say she was ridiculously excited to meet little Lincoln. Since getting home yesterday she has wanted to hold him every second!! She has kissed him about a million times and doesn't want to leave his side.

Look how proud she is

She got all dolled up to meet her brother for the first time. She figured this beautiful Jasmine outfit would be more than appropriate! She is too much!!

Wow, if that isn't an excited face I don't know what is?!?!

Check out those hairy shoulders!

Look at those dimples!!

It's a boy?

Not finding out what we were having was one of the best decisions we have made!! It was so much fun waiting for Jacob to announce the sex of the baby. When he finally stood up to check the baby out, he whispered "it's a boy" and I said "WHAT?" he then looked down at me and said "it's a boy!". Then I replied about 3 or 4 times, "it's a boy?" I was so confused because I could have bet my house on the fact that this baby was a girl. I was beyond positive!! I should have known since I was just as positive that Nevaeh was a boy... so much for mother's instinct!

Waiting to meet the mystery baby!!

We arrived at the hospital at 945 and waited to be put in a room to get the ball rolling. By noon I had my little hat on and ready to walk into the operating room!

Oh my... cap on waiting to walk into the operating room!! Last few minutes before we find out what we were having!!!

Water Balloons

Jacob and Nevaeh decided to toss water balloons at each other in the back yard. they had quite a bit of fun considering Sunday was on the hottest days we have had. We ended up at the Wave (a local water park) because the water balloons just didn't cut it anymore.

Kona Boy

Our poor Kona has been so super duper hot lately we decided to get him to the groomers. We figured that not only will he be more comfortable it will be better that he is hairless when the baby gets here..

So here his is NAKED! We can't keep him outside in the sun too long because we are afraid he will get a sunburn.

P.s. his ear wasn't cut off he just tucked it back for the picture.

July 13th

Nevaeh's 4th birthday started out with Pancakes and eggs, then followed by a fun day at school, where she was able to have cupcakes with her friends to celebrate her birth! After we picked her up from school we took her straight to Chuck E. Cheese where she played her little heart out.

We finished off a great day with brownies... we all had a fun filled day.

Happy birthday my sweet girl!

Our "baby's" 4th birthday party

Our little lady has had her 4th birthday party. I am still in shock that I have a 4 year old. We have been beyond blessed to have such an amazing, calm, funny, outgoing (most of the time), polite child. I dread birthday parties (because I think I am an awful cook and host!!) but I couldn't say no because Nevaeh definitely deserves it! This year it was a Tinker Belle birthday party, we were lucky enough to have Tinker Belle show up to our party. She traveled all the way from Pixie Hollow just to celebrate with Nevaeh. The kids had so much fun... Yay Tinker Belle!

Soccer... Finally!

Nevaeh has been asking to play soccer for about a year... we kept saying we were going to sign her up but for some reason or another we didn't. However, one day after work Jacob decided to head down to the YMCA and sign her up out of the blue, she couldn't have been happier! She got to play in her first game today at 9 a.m., I am glad it was that early because by 9 a.m. it was SOOOO hot. My poor baby was sweating so much, luckily she didn't care and still ran around like a little professional soccer player.

What a great way to start the morning!

Happy 4th of July!

We spend this amazing day with our friends at their neighborhood block party. We had so much fun, it was the perfect way to spend the day. We participated in the parade and Nevaeh won 3rd place in the potato sack race. She was so excited she wanted me to pin the ribbon on her immediately!

38 weeks

Here we are at 38 weeks, only two weeks to go before our new mystery baby arrives!! I am pretty large at this point but the baby still finds room to move around very often making me quite uncomfortable at times.

scribbly hair

Nevaeh has been asking for scribbly (curly) hair like mommy's for a few days. She finally decided to sit still long enough for me to braid it... she even slept with them in all night. The result was fantastic. She was so happy with her hair, she couldn't wait to show it off!
