Fourth of July Weekend

Saylor is now a month old, I can't believe how fast it has gone. She is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries and still sleeps most of the time. She goes back to the doctor on Friday so I will update how that goes.

We took the kids to the zoo last week when it was cooler outside and I think everyone had the same idea we did. It was a little crowded. The boys still had a lot of fun and they got to see the new kimono dragons that were there.

Hope everyone had a great fourth of July. Unfortunately it was a wet one but we still had a lot of fun. Friday night we cooked out at our house and had some fireworks for the kids. I think the boys liked doing the sparklers the best. Saturday night we went to Jason and Kristin's for a fish fry. All the boys had a lot of fun playing in the rain, I would have to say Griffen probably liked it the best. Then Kristin gave them all a bath and they loved playing in the jets and all the bubbles. Sunday we did get to see the fireworks but at that point I think the boys were over them and didn't enjoy them as much, but it was a good show.

Summer Fun!!!

Happy Fathers Day!!! We spent the first part of the day hanging out at my uncles pool. Beckett started jumping in to Toby and was loving it. My mom got the boys a slip and slide. Beckett liked playing in the sprinkler part while Brody had more fun actually going down it.

This is how Toby spends most of his evenings, going fishing. Toby put a real hook on Brody's pole this year so he has been catching his own fish.

Saylor enjoying being outside. She is such a good baby so far. She was jaundice so she had to be on a bili blanket for a few days. She also lost a little more weight when we first got home, so we are trying to get that back up. I have to take her once a week to get her weight checked so hopefully tomorrow it will be back up. I can't believe that she will be 3 weeks old already. I am enjoying my time off because before I know it I will be going back to work. The boys can't get enough of her. I have to constantly tell them to leave her alone because they will not stop kissing her. I guess I should be happy how much they love her right now because I am sure they will not feel the same way in a few years.

Welcome...Saylor Starr Braeger

We finally got to welcome our new addition. Saylor Starr Braeger was born June 2nd at 4:40 pm. She weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 19 1/2 in long. I ended up being induced but couldn't have asked for a better or quicker delivery. We haven't decided who she looks like, we both think she looks a little bit like both boys.

The boys were so excited to see her and wear there big brother shirts. Since we didn't tell anyone her name Brody named her Tinkerbell so he hasn't been happy about calling her by her name so sometimes we still have to call her Tinkerbell. Now that we are home they cant get enough of her. They are always wanting to hold her and kiss on her. I am sure that will pass soon and they will be ready to give her back. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, we are so happy she is finally here.

Baby Update II

Just wanted to let everyone know that we went to the doctor today and thankfully the baby has flipped. She is now head down. They had to do another ultrasound so we got to see some more pictures of her and the ultrasound tech thought she looked like Brody. So now its just a waiting game. Hopefully she comes soon, I am wearing down. We will try to keep everyone updated.

Update on Baby!

I wanted to give everyone a update. We went to the doctor on Tuesday for my 34 week appt. and had to have a ultrasound because I was measuring small, that's a first. We found out that the baby had moved and she is now in the breech position. She was head down two weeks ago so she must be flipping all over. They said they normally like the baby to be in the head down position by 34 weeks but luckily I have a lot of amniotic fluid so she still has room to move. We go back on the 12th to see if he can tell if she has moved if not we will have another ultrasound and if she is still breech we will probably schedule a c section for 38 weeks. So we are hoping and praying that she gets turned back around so we can avoid a c section. We will keep everyone updated.

One Busy Week!

Wow, it has been one busy week. I tried to get all the pictures in order so I can explain them all. Last weekend we went to The Great Wolf Lodge with Jason, Kristin and Conner. The boys had a great time. I didn't get to have fun on any of the slides, but got to hang with Beckett while everyone else went.

On Monday my brother, sister in law and niece got in town from San Diego. We all went to the Childrens Museum on Friday which was absolutely crazy but the kids all had fun and mommy had some major cramps from walking. So I have to keep telling myself to take it easy.

The boys actually liked the carousel this time. Brody kept telling me that he wanted to ride the deer.

The playscape was probably there favorite thing. Of course they like playing in the water and the sand. Griffen loved splashing himself in the face which was funny. Everyone kept moving away from them because they were getting everyone wet.

We had Beckett and Andrea's 2nd Birthday party on Saturday. They both enjoyed opening there gifts with a little help from all the other kids.

We got Beckett a little battery powered 4 wheeler and you can tell how excited he was. Now Toby gets to chase both him and Brody around outside.

Happy Easter!!! The boys got lots of candy and some toys from the Easter Bunny. We then went to my aunt and uncles and had our own Easter egg hunt. This was the first year that I thought they actually got into it and had fun. It will only get better from here.

So now even though we have some things going on nothing like this past week I might be able to get some rest and make it through these next 7 weeks. I have a feeling she doesn't want to wait that long and if I new she would be healthy I would say Bring It On!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day. We had a great day. I took the boys on their first trip this year to the zoo. I think everyone else had the same idea to take advantage of the great weather, it was crowded. The boys have also have been enjoying being able to play outside more.

I have about ten weeks left in my pregnancy. It is now going by so fast, it will be here before we know it. We have made a couple of trips to the ER nothing to big but always expensive. I got the stomach flu (AGAIN) and had to go get fluids because I got dehydrated. Then gave it to everyone else in the house. We also decided to take Beckett, he had a spot on his stomach that looked like a spider bite and found out that it was MRSA so he had to be on a antibiotic and is much better now. Luckily no one else in the house got it. I should have more pictures to post soon, we had to reschedule our trip to the Great Wolf Lodge and my brother, sister in law and niece will be here the first of April.
