Owey

What's owey you ask? One word, engorgement. That's all I have to say about that. Oh wait, no it's not! I have told B that when he runs things there's a long list of things he needs to change. The list includes, but is not limited to: the length of pregnancy, the fact that you have a baby, but still have contractions whilst your uterus shrinks. That you now have a sweet little baby, but still look like you're pregnant, thus the need to still wear maternity clothes even though you're NOT pregnant. Let's not even talk about the hormones that are totally out of control and cause one such as myself to have random two or three minutes of uncontrollable sobbing even though I'm not sad. Needless to say, engorgement also makes the list. It truly is awful and lasts far too long. Looking on the bright side it makes me realize that I truly NEVER want to have huge "milkers" if you will. I can't imagine spending good money on making them big when they just get in the way, cause back pain and make you look oddly proportioned. All I'm saying really is that engorgement truly is a terrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on an enemy!

Daddy's make it better

For the last few days, M hasn't felt very well. Last night it peaked. I knew she didn't feel well when I had laid the baby down for a nap while she was going potty. She came out and asked where he was, found out he was taking a nap and burst into tears because she had wanted to hold him. I told her to come sit on the couch and let me love her. She sat on my lap, laid her head on my chest and cried and cried. I asked her if she was ok. She said yes, but just kept crying. She did say that she didn't feel very good, but she didn't have any symptoms at all. She cried most of the night and couldn't sleep. I was feeding the baby his bottle at ten and could hear M in her bed just crying and crying. B walked into her room and told her to come out with us. I went and laid the baby down and came out to find this. Sometimes all a girl needs is her daddy. Daddy can usually make everything all better. She laid on his lap for a long time and they watched a movie together. As we put her back to bed she said that she still didn't feel totally normal, but she felt better. Daddy's are miracle workers just by being around!

A case of the cleaning bug

Yesterday B got a case of the cleaning bug. He wanted to clean out the garage. I'm not saying that I mind at all. It was awesome actually! I've been thinking for a long time that I need to pull everything out and sweep it out. I thought about doing it almost every day when I would see the little lizard's that had died and their bodies were left behind. But as we all know, I am really lazy and sweeping out the garage was not a huge priority. Anyway when B said that he was going to clean it, K got all excited to help him. He pulled out the brush that is supposed to be used to scrub the lanai, and used it first as a push broom and then as a mop!

He said that he was going to go over it twice, but the cleaning bug that had infected B left before K was done. So, B said it was time to be done after K had gone over the whole thing once. Having the garage floor swept and mopped is pretty awesome and I'm glad that it was someone else that did it and not me!

He's here!

There truly are no words to express how happy I am to not be pregnant any more! This here is BKB. He weighed 7'2 and was 18 1/2 inches long. He is a really good baby and even did a five hour sleep stretch last night! I was so excited about it that after I fed him and put him back to bed, I couldn't sleep!
 M is so happy that he's here. She had her heart set on a little girl. I asked her if she was disappointed that he was a boy, she said,"a little." But that was before she got to the hospital and held him and saw him. She LOVES him. She wants to hold him all of the time. She loves that she can feed him his bottle. This morning she fed him before she left for school. He spit up all over her shirt. She looked down and said,"GROSS!! Daddy take him! I have to change my shirt!" It was pretty funny!
K is so "escited" That he's a boy. He really wanted to have three boys in our family. My heart does feel a little bit sad because I think that K is having a pretty hard time having the baby around. He doesn't act really different, he's just off enough that I think he's struggling with it. The first night the baby was home from the hospital was a really bad night. He didn't fall asleep until 5:30 in the morning. It truly was a really long night. Anyway, the next day I told K that we should take B back to the hospital and let them deal with him during the night. He got all excited and said,"You're taking him back?!" I felt really bad. Hopefully when B's a little bit older, K will like having him around.
This is a picture from when K was born. We were still at the hospital and B was holding him. All the sudden he said he felt a really warm spot, he moved K and had been peed on! When I changed his diaper it was basically dry. It had gone out around the diaper and got B instead! I died laughing. I thought it was so funny! Well the other night B was holding B and said,"Oh man! I feel the same warm spot I have felt before"...


It had happened again! I laughed so hard I had a coughing fit. I love that it's on the same side and spot as when it happened with K. Truly, I am so so happy to not be pregnant any more. I am so thankful that he's here and that he's healthy!

Let's go camping!

Last weekend was our Stake Father's and son's. This was the first year that B took K. K found out they were going the Sunday before. He talked about going camping with daddy all week. He would randomly look at me and say,"I am so escited about Friday!" When I would ask why he would say,"Because, I get to go camping with daddy!" On Friday we got the lantern out and put batteries in it. It is the coolest lantern I've ever seen! B got it for Christmas from his mom. All the sides of the lantern can come off and you can carry it around so you have your own light. When I showed K the lights came off, his mouth fell open and I'm pretty sure tears of joy came to his eyes. He said that he hoped that C was going. I told him that he was going and that he and B were actually going to ride in their van with them. K started jumping up and down and then ran in little circles because he was so happy. He's really loud anyway, but when he's excited, his volume gets even louder. He shouted,"I am going to give C one of these lights. He'll have his very own and I'll have my very own! I am so escited!"  
I love this picture! I am so happy that B remembered to take a picture of them. K was so happy that he got to ride in the van with C, he was so happy that they were sleeping in a tent, he was so happy to be with daddy and have a boy's night!
What's not to love about this picture?! B said that K was so excited to let C use a part of the lantern, that he handed it to him basically as soon as they got to the campsite. There was a group of older boys playing catch with a football. K and C wanted to play too, but they didn't want to put down there lights. So, they just ran after the boys dragging their lights behind them. I would have loved to see it! K called me at 7:45 to tell me that he and C got to sleep in the same tent and that they were going to bed. I've never heard a little kid sound so excited to go to sleep! When they got home the next morning I asked him if he had fun. He said that it was so fun! Throughout the week he would look at me and say,"Remember how we had a boy's night and you and M had a girl's night and our boy's night was more funner than your girl's night?" When I ask him what made his boys night so fun he said,"We went camping! Camping is more funner than a wedding dress show!" I am so happy that B didn't have to work and was able to take K and that they had such a great time!
