Bigger and Better!

J.R. is into everything! He's on all fours and crusing!! He's standing up on his own, but not walking.

Kyle is still cooking.. which is good! I am almost 36 weeks, so that is very good for a healthy baby!! We went to the cider mill last weekend and had a really fun time.

What a Night

Well.. about 6pm last night, I started having contractions.. pretty severely. OB sent me to the ER. I'm almost 30 weeks.. so 7 and a half months.. still a little too early to be in labor! Anyway, I am dialated to 1.. and they were able to stop the contractions. After two huge bags of saline, and some antibiotics for a bladder infection.. I was discharged home. We got home around 10:30 last night. Today I am just exhausted.

Just Bust a Move!

Everyone is Moving!

J.R. is officially on the move! He's into everything and must be watched at all times! He's doing this new "wounded solider" crawl.  He isn't on all fours yet.. but he is doing the army crawl.. but he only uses one leg.. its pretty funny. 

We are SOOO close to the move in of our house. We put the first coat of poly on the floors yesterday, and finished with a second coat this morning! We just have to wait for that to dry, put the outlet covers on, and move everything in! Its been a long two months staying at my parents... its been helpful and very convenient.. but its time to have our own space! I am very excited!

Kyle News: He is one little soccer player.  He kicks and punchs all the time now. He's really fiesty. I am not due until the middle of November, but I have a feeling that he will come at the end of October.. maybe even sooner.  Its just a feeling that I have.

Ankle News: I have not been wearing my boot like I should. Today I went to the orthopedic doctor and was yelled at. I got fitted into a new brace and was threatened with surgery if I didn't wear it regularly.  Grrrr....

Just another day in Paradise..

This is my husband's favorite saying, "Another day in Paradise".  That and "it is what it is".   The end of August and into September has not been the best to us.. it seems that every day brings a new challenge.  I know, that's life. Last Monday, the 24th, on our wedding anniversary, I broke my ankle. Yesterday, Tuesday the 1st of September, I got a call from the college that Jack got a ball to the face.  I took him to the ER and he had to get 10 stitches.  What else can happen?

In the meantime, Jaxson has been just a little love-bug.  He is the sweetest and best baby that I have ever met. He's definitely my pride and joy.  He thinks that I am the God of all Gods.. I hope he always thinks like this.  He can play with his bus and jump in his jumpy and just smile and laugh all day.  To him, his life is perfect.  I wish I thought like a baby.. that everyone and everything was perfect and that the world was my own little paradise.  He played with his GG yesterday, (Great-Grandma).  He lights up when he sees her and they have so much fun together.  She gives him pots and pans to pound on and that just makes his day.

Well.. breakfast just finished, the Backyardigans are on, and I am going to enjoy my little sliver of paradise with my son.

New Baby has the hiccups!

Went to the OB today.. 28 week checkup.. the new baby has the hiccups!!  Jaxson spent the day with his GG.. (Great Grandma) they had lots of fun together.  Tomorrow.. we get to spend the day with Nana (my BF Elizabeth) and her kids! Then.. On Wednesday.. we get a play date with Max! We are busy this week!!

Kyle's Fetal Echocardiogram!

Yesterday, we had Kyle's fetal echocardiogram! His heart is perfect. He is a very strong little man already.. and was kicking the doctor the whole time she was doing the ultrasound. He already weighs almost 3 pounds. I think he is going to be a big boy, just like his big brother Jaxson is!!

Its hard to believe that Kyle will be here in less than three months! EEEKK!! Two and a half really! Time flies by so fast.  But.. we have been meeting lots of people who have babies back to back.. and they say that its the best thing that they ever did.. the kids play together and always have a friend. :)

I hope the boys get along and like each other!

Jaxson's Big Day!

Jaxson has been wanting to crawl for sometime now.. and today.. he did!!  He didn't move very far.. but he did indeed move forward. (He's been going the wrong way for quite some time)

Hooray Jaxson!!!

Jack and I cleaned out J.R.'s dresser today. I tell you, that boy has more clothes than I have ever had  in my whole life!  We had to fill ANOTHER tub of clothes that don't fit him!! J.R. is almost 10 months old.. and is currently wearing 24 months clothes!  He's a big boy!!

Im so glad that I kept all of his clothes from since he was a baby.. now Kyle has a whole wardrobe of clothes!! 

First Post Ever!

Hi Everyone, I've decided to create a blog just for J.R. A friend of mine suggested it, and since I'm laid up with a broken ankle, and pregnant.. I thought, hey why not!

***************************************************

J.R. is currently 9 and a half months old. He is learning to do so much! He's currently sitting on his own, rocking on all 4's.. wanting to crawl!  

***************************************************

He loves to clap and squeal.  He gets so excited over the littlest things.

***************************************************

Two weeks ago, he had his first haircut! He had so much hair! We went to Famous Cuts, just down the road from our house, and J.R. and Jack both got their hair cut. He was such a good boy. He didn't cry or fuss at all!

***************************************************

After his haircut, Jack, myself and J.R. went to the Warren City Kids Water Fountain. We had the best time there. We all got soaked! It was a great family Sunday!

Its hard to believe that only 9 months ago.. we were welcoming him into this world:
