Happy Birthday To Me!

-



November 17th, Landon celebrated his first birthday. What a big man! We had so much fun watching him on Saturday. We had a small party for him here in Fort Wayne. On Friday the 16th, my good friend Emily and her Husband and son Ethan came up to help me prepare and give the boys a chance to play together. Ethan is 3 months older than Landon, so you can imagine how busy our house was on Friday. They had a blast and Landon slept very well on Saturday, his birthday. So well, in fact that he slept in until 9:00 and then took a nap from 10:00-12:00. We had to wake him up because the guests for his party had arrived and the party was to start at 12:00. He came downstairs from his nap and to his surprise, more than just Ethan was waiting for him. He was a little shy at first and then the party began. We had lunch and then his cake. He wasn't too interested in getting messy, but Ethan soon followed and showed him how it was done. Two hands to the mouth. But Landon used a spoon and decided to comb his hair with the frosting from his cake. For the most part, he was pretty clean. He hasn't had cake before his birthday, so I don't think he really knew what to do. After cake came presents. He was more interested in his party favors for his guests than the presents they brought for him. It was so nice that everyone got him a gift. We were just glad they came. Landon was given many books, a vaccumm cleaner named Dusty; he talks too, lots of clothes; much needed, and a few other toys. His favorite was an Elmo chair that was just his size. Chris and I did test it out with him before we bought it to make sure he would like it. Everytime we went shopping, we went to the toy aisle to see if he was still interested in it and not to our surprise, it was a winner. He loves it; as you will see in the pictures. Saturday turned out so well and we couldn't have asked for it to go any better. Landon is officially 1 and we look forward to his next birthday. This past year has been the most amazing year of our lives. We have become a family and we have grown in ways that we never knew possible. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing little boy as Landon.

This past weekend was an eventful one. We drove down for Mason's birthday party that was on Saturday. I wasn't feeling too great that morning and got sick, which I hadn't done in a while. I got sick again on the way to the party, then again when we got back to June and Mark's after the party, then again right before we took off back to Fort Wayne. I just couldn't figure out what was going on. From there, I got sick about every ten miles on the interstate as Chris pulled over, no kidding, about 14 times. I got sick a total of 20 times Saturday and late that night decided that it was time to go to the E.R. I was given two liters of fluid and some meds to keep me from throwing up. We were there for about four hours and then headed home. It took me a couple days to recover; I was so sore from getting sick so many times. Anywho...I was to follow up with my doctor. So, today we went to the doctor to make sure everything was alright with the baby after Saturday. Everything...

Alexa Anne is Here!!!!!

Alexa Anne was born at around 6:00 p.m. this evening. After a bit of a scare of not being able to find her heartbeat, some oxygen and a page to my doctor to arrive ASAP, and about 6 or 7 pushes...she was born. She weighs 6 pounds even and is 20.5 inches long. She is so pettite and looks just like Chris and Landon. Go figure...here again, I am the one that labors and carries the babies and Chris gets all the credit. I'm sure she will change a bit in her looks as she has already changed since she was born. I feel great and empowered as I had to do everything I could to get her out quick because her heartrate dropped down to the 40's. VERY scary but thank God I had Mom and Chris in the roomt to get me through. They were great coaches. Enjoy the pictures. I'm going to get off here while Alexa is taking her bath and we soon will go to bed. Thanks for check'n in. We'll update again tomorrow. Oh and how could I possibly forget...Big Brother Landon!!!! How precious it was t...

One more makes a family of four!

That's right. Chris and I found out a few weeks ago that we are expecting our second little one around mid February. We are very excited! There are still a few of you out there that I wish I could tell other than on our blogspot, but this is the best way for me right now. I have been feeling REALLY crummy and I just can't kick the all day morning sickness. I just wish there was something that I could eat or take and it would give me a break. I know it will be worth it, but it's much more difficult being sick and watching after a toddler. Thank goodness I have the most amazing husband in the world that has really taken on both roles as mom and dad and give me a break when I need one. We couldn't be happier with idea of having two. We are really pushing these milestones and Landon is taking them VERY well! Now, if ice cream cured morning sickness...I would be in good shape (well, not physically and then again maybe that's why it doesn't help). Hope you all enjoyed...
