I Love You




The bottom one is Jesse, when his brother was born he ended up flipping around and delivered feet first, the nurse was pushing on my tummy, the doctors were pulling his legs and I was pushing. We had to break for a couple seconds to get his cord, it was stuck in between his legs. When he was born he was limp and not crying he needed a little oxygen and an iv. He had bruised legs for the first couple weeks of his life.
Elizabeth is my chubby cheeked little baby in the middle. Tonight I was showing her pictures of herself and she was so excited- calling herself "my baby Elizabeth." She had people there waiting to greet her but did not decide to come until 1:46am so the people just waited until she was born (which I really appreciate). But it was a long night for them to return home. I have had a two member (3 including my husband) cheer leading squad at my delivers- I heartfeltly appreciate that.
Jachin is the last little guy (the top pic)- what a trooper and what a set of lungs, just like his big sister. I think we went into the OR room at 8:14 and Jachi bear arrived at 8:25- he did great. He did not have any problems. He took a little while to catch on to eating and Jachin and Jesse only ate like 1-1 1/2 oz at a time at first- it was a wooohooo when we got to 2 oz at a time.

Kids, I love you.

When bandaids fail...

Try superglue!
A couple of Saturdays ago Jesse hit his head on the wooden part of our glider and had a small cut that bled alot. I had a band-aid on my littlest man as he thinks he is an animal that should roll around on the floor- but the band-aid resulted in his first hair cut when it was stuck on a lock of hair, so our awesome doctor and his crew put a little superglue on it, of course while listening to his screaming while a nurse had to hold him down.
And they say girls are dramatic...
I probably would have been worse at his age.
