Mikey is 4....WHAT????

Oh Dear!! Yes that is me...the so VERY HUGE prego woman!! I hated at the end where you get so bloated. So here is the quick version! Mikey was a tough one to get out. I was in labor forever it seemed! I was hoping to go in and have my 3rd natural birth, but he wouldn't have it that way. I sat on a ball bouncing and bouncing, walking the halls, trying to get that boy to turn. He wouldn't finish his turn. So they tried to give me an epidural. I was so mad! I didn't want one! But they thought it would relax me so he could maybe turn. He still wouldn't. By this time it was way too long from when my water broke, so they took us to emergency C-section. I was mortified and so scared! Dr. Elliot (Trent) and Mike gave me a blessing and off we went. I'm so grateful for Trent and for Mike giving me a blessing. It was such an emotional time and without it, I don't know if I could have gone through with it without more stress. In the end, it worked out! Mikey was grunting (literally) at the nurses and Dr.'s as they were pulling him out and cleaning him off! It was so funny! A healthy 7lb 7oz baby boy.
Now you are 4 my boy! I can hardly believe it!





Here he is at about 1 month old!! He was such a good sleeper!!

4 months old


8 months old

about 2 years old.
I will post his most recent picture in a few days when we have his birthday party. He wanted to go to the Amazing Pizza Machine here in town with a couple of his buddies, Reece and T.J. He is so very excited!
Here a are a few things that he loves:
-He loves to play puppy pals and is learning a lot with Leapster first computer. (great gift Mom and Dad)
-Buzz and Woody are still his best friends
-Every yellow car is Bumble Bee from Transformers
-We have been watching Little House on the Prairie and he LOVES it! All three of the kids do. When he wants to watch it he says "Can we watch Pa?" (Thanks Ammie)
-He loves to ride on his scooter and he has started to learn to ride a bike. It will be nice when the weather stays warm so we can get more practice time in.
-He is all boy. He loves tools, helping Dad with tools, lifting tools, and working with tools. If we let him, he would have the whole house taken apart one screw at a time!!
-Going to Preschool on Tuesday's and Thursday's is one of his favorite things to do. He will talk your ear off about it!
-He is still such a snuggle bug and a bit of a Mammas boy! I don't mind one bit! He is such tender heart, but when faced with his sisters, he is learning to hold his own.
We love our little man so much! He adores his Dad and tries so hard to be just like him! He has a great imagination. He makes up some of the cutest things!
Happy Birthday son!
