2nd summer in a row prego here we come!

So yet again i get to spend my summer prego i was looking forward to getting back in shape and finally getting the bikini bod i have always wanted. Having kids surprisingly has helped me get there i loose so much during pregnancy and when i have the baby. Oh well that just means that i will be even closer to my goal next summer lol .... i hope. Time has just flown with mason i knew it would being prego and getting ready for Logan to arrive, oh yeah we are naming this little guy Logan Gabriel i just love that name we were debating for mason on logan or Mason and since this one is a boy and they are SO close together( kinda like twins heehee) that Logan fit well and we both love the name. Mason is 8 months already and he wants to crawl so bad but has a hard time getting his chubby legs up under his belly LOL he will get it though one of these days. He is just a joy there were a few months that were rough i though i might loose my mind. He got bronchitis then right after cut two teeth meanwhile screaming bloody murder for hours at night and he wouldnt let me hold him or rock him. So frustrating but we survived somehow and now he loves to snuggle and he sleeps so much better he was starting to sleep through the night and but now he has an eye infection and i know that bothers him a lot so he is up again. I dont know how im doing it im so tired my belly is getting so heavy and even when i do get to sleep i cant cause my hips hurt so bad. Laying on my side kills me and im not allowed to lay on my back so.... yeah needless to say sleep is hard to come by these days  and i wont be coming anytime soon with Logan coming. So i figure in about a year, year and a half i might get some good sleep all through the night - ahhh im dreaming of the day :)
 
   Katie is doing great she talks so good now and understands so much i love to watch her play she has such an imagination. She loves to play doctor to all her toys and i hear her all the time talking to them like i talk to her. Makes me think sometimes... lol i showed her a pic of her uncle tys eye he had it removed and a ball put in. Anyway she said ohhhh he has a big sore i need to tell him so sorry. Then later i heard her talking to rhe mirror to herself. He got a big sore its really red and hurting we need to help him. Lol so cute! I started doing pre-school with her at home we went to walmart and she picked out a notebook, tinkerbell of course. And i put the date on each entry and i started with her name i write it out but like a dot to dot so she can trace it. She got that down quick and then i started doing numbers 1-10 and then the alphabet she traces really well and has gotten it down good. She gets to put a sticker on each page when she is done and she just loves that. Were working on the days of the week i have a little song we sing and she is learning that now.

Mason's Hilarious laughter

My lil boy has the most infectious and adorable laugh i have ever heard he LOVES to watch katie jump in front of him thinks its the funniest thing. Here is a video of him laughing ...enjoy!

Easter fun

Well Easter turned out to be so much fun we went to Grandma Nancy's AKA yellow house as katie calls her LOL  She hunted for eggs and her friends Sophia and Olivia were big helpers and let her find lots of eggs.
We had an amazing dinner but nancy who is an amazing cook and always goes above and beyond for family when we get together. Later when we got home Katie wanted to go on a bug hunt so her and Daddy went out and hunted for bugs they came back with a cricket, spider, and fire ants that killed everything in the jar. Katie was doing good last summer getting over her fear of bugs but over the winter she weakened so it looks like some shock therapy is in order again this summer lol were not mean about it i promise.
 Here are some pics from easter. Maseter was just hanging out with anyone who would hold him so i didnt get many pics of him i was busy trying to keep up with katie to get a good shot.

Masons Blessing day

Yesterday was Masons blessing day and it was great, i wish more family could have been there i really wanted to see my brothers and there kids but it is so close to christmas and it is hard to travel so far. My brother Joe and his family were there so that was good. Alan did such a good job on the blessing  he did an amazing job. the man that mason is named after was there and that was special, i know nobody in my family even knows him but his name is foster and he came to mean a lot to me and alan. He taught and inspired us in ways that we cant explain to anyone. It is also one of alans favorite names ;)

Better late than never!

Well i have been meaning to post about my new baby boy but time and just flown by and now he is 7 weeks old!! 

                 He was born on September 27th @ 5:04pm he weighed 6 lbs 5 oz 19 inches long. That morning i had a doctors appt @ 11:30 and when i went in i was complaining of the intense pressure i was feeling i was only dilated at a 2 but the doc decided to monitor them and see if i was having contractions. I already knew i was but they wernt that bad. He said i was having regular contractions but to go home and drink plenty of water and call if anything changed. I was on my way to see my mother in law and pick up my daughter and as soon as i started driving the contractions got way more intense it was hard to drive but i made it. I timed them at my MIL work and they were 2-3 minutes apart! Yikes so i called Alan and we headed to the hospital when i checked in it was around one o clock. The nurses there were great and so nice my doctor just saw me and didnt seem to concerned and he especially didnt expect me to deliver so quickly. They were debating on whether to send me home or not i was starting to get worried cause i knew he was coming and if we left i might not make it back to the hospital in time. I went from 2- 10 in just a couple hours, Alan and my sister in law Kyla were there with me. I loved having Kyla there she was awesome and such a big help to me and to alan. At some point i felt my water break and then it was only a matter of minutes and it became time for the nurses to kick it in high gear cause Mason was coming and nobody was prepared....(again) At this point i felt the most crazy intense urge to push but the nurse kept telling me not to, i tell you what i never want to hold back that feeling again. I started to vomit in my mouth cause i was holding it back as hard as i could but he was coming and i really really really needed to push finally the doctor came in i was so happy to see him. He asked if he had time to change and the nurse was like uhh no he is right there. I pushed a couple times and the doctor put him right on my tummy! i cant tell you how much i loved that. With Kaitlyn they took her away right away and i didnt have that skin to skin time with her and i really believe it made all the difference with Mason. He was so beautiful just a perfect little round head and he wasn't all yuck lol i remember that katie wasnt either she was surprising clean for a newborn baby. I did it all natural with no medication again and im so happy i was able to do it. I didnt know what to expect with my second baby if it would go as smooth as kaite did. It was different in a lot of ways but it went smoothly and couldn't have gone better. Giving birth to my kids naturally has come to mean a lot to me, i cant describe how amazing it feels to feel your little baby come into the world its something i just love and im so happy i chose to do it that way. I dont think its wrong or anything to have meds and i dont think less of ppl who do i just personally dont want to. 

Here is my little guy right after he was born
Here is my little man now ... I just love him he is one handsome little dude!  :)

I went to the doctor today and he wasnt going to check to see if i was dilated but I have been having such intense pressure to where i almost cant walk he decided to. Im at a 2 i cant believe it is really happening soon, i keep thinking about all the changes with a new baby. Nursing again, late nights, all the crying and rocking and loving. Teaching katie to be gentle and most of all getting to finally hold my little son i cant wait im getting anxious about labor if i think about it to hard but i know it will be ok. AHHHHHHH im having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
