Entertaining the kids while stuck in traffic

What a year! We have been able to jam pack everything we could in our first summer of a family of 4. It's been busy going on mini vacations to camping trips and 4 weddings inbetween. I have been enjoying being a mom of 2,it's everything I ever hoped it would be. Ella and Dave have been the joys of my life and know Noah has filled my heart with even more joy. Ella has put all her love into helping me take care of the little new monkey in our house. She's been very neutering to him and really try's to make sure he's ok at all times. She wonders where he is when she wakes up from a nap and make sure he has his soother in his mouth;) She's been wondering!

Noah is growing, I never knew how much boys like to grow so fast in such a short time. He was born 7lbs 14 oz, and in 2 months he's a whopping 17lbs 2 oz. He's my little porker!Noah looks just like his sister but bigger man hands and larger nostrils.But had the big eyes and brown hair like his Momma. He lets me sleep most nights with only 1-3 times waking up to feed. He loves to giggle and smiles at anybody that will talk to him. Having kids is a crazy time but so much fun!

busy...summer.

Well I can finally say I have done it all. I had a C-section and had a girl, as well as a natural birth and had a boy. I can know say having a natural birth was quite painful but one of the best experiences I have ever had, and I do wish I had it with Ella too.

So here's the story for those that want to know how Noah came into this world.

I started knocking on David's office door around 9am July 2 with small pains. Them I started to realize that something was really happening. I already had a doctor's appointment for 10am and had my mom come over to watch Ella. We all went to the appointment together and found I was 2 cm dilated already. Went home and walked the block keeping time with each contraction I had. By 1pm I was in the hospital with bigger pain but with small smiles. Once they broke my water it got crazy, I pushed for 2 hours and out came Noah at 11:14 pm. I always told my doctor that I really wanted the whole experience and he was able to give it to me. I got to feel Noah's head when I was crowning,Dave cut the cord and Noah was placed on me right away. We even had a science project with the placenta( sounds gross but...). He opened the sack and explained what we were looking at. Apparently I had a large placenta,huh...I had pushed so hard the last 2 hours determined to get him out. That I pushed with my face which burst blood vessels in my face and my eye balls almost popped out. I wouldn't recommend pushing with your eyes, I was seeing double for almost a day. Having to close one eye to see anything or anybody. They were so swollen I had to ice them for a few days.

Days later I had another doctors appointment with Noah by my side. The one thing I remember is that all my water was behind Noah when we came out. There for, everybody got completely drenched. So we brought doc a gift of new parts of socks and a photo of him holding Noah for the fist time.

I do know I loved both experiences but would never want to do it again. I believe we are done!

One girl and one boy what else could I ever ask for. I'm so happy to be me;)

We did it! He's Here...
