Sharing!

This little monkey below has been so good with his little brother and is really good at sharing. The only problem is that during nap time he thinks Coleman needs toys and stuffed animals and he brings them to him in his crib. After the incident pictured below I decided it would be best to but a child lock on the nursery door so Charlie doesn't accidentally but something over Coleman's face while he is sleeping.

This is what I found when I went to get Coleman up from nap.

Snow Day 2011!

On Monday like most everyone knows here in Birmingham we had a snow/ice day. This snow and ice lasted for a good part of the week and here it is Saturday and we still have a few patches in the back yard where the sun had yet to hit it and melt it.
On Monday we took advantage of having daddy home and we played out in the snow with our tractor and make shift sled, since Josh was unable to find one in his venture earlier that morning. Charlie loves the snow and it was pretty hard to get him to come back in, Coleman on the other hand slept the whole time we were outside (he was bundled up so he was pretty warm).

By Wednesday we were going crazy being stuck in the house unable to go any where. Charlie and I were grateful that he was finally able to go back to school on Thursday and get out of the house for a little bit. Now that it has almost all melted I am so glad and dare I say it but I am ready for Spring so we can spend our days playing outside and not destroying the house!

I was watching an Auburn Video on UTube the other day and Charlie heard the music and had to bust out his moves. I am not sure where he gets them from but he sure does love to dance, he has requested me to play the "Cam/Aubie" video over and over again so he can dance! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning this year was extra special, not only did we have one more member of the family but the snow we weren't suppose to get came down and we had a White Christmas!

We celebrate Christmas at our house with our little family of four. We woke up around 7:00 and we opened presents and enjoyed a lazy day. This year was the first year that Charlie has really understood what was going on and you could just tell how excited he was about the day. I was sure to remind him of the real reason for the season but you can imagine that a 2 year old is a little more interested in what Santa brought. We will continue to emphasize with him what the season is about as well as with Coleman and I know one day it will set it. He does have a great foundation and told us it was Jesus' birthday and that Mary and Joseph were his mom and dad so that is a good start!

After presents we watched the snow fall all day long and then we went outside for a little to enjoy a little fun in the snow. Charlie and Josh stayed out and played for a while and Coleman and I went out for a few minutes and then came back in since it was a little cold for him. My parents drove in late in the afternoon and we enjoyed Christmas dinner with them and then we sat around and relaxed and watched Charlie play with all his goodies.

All in all it was a great day and we had a very wonderful Christmas!

Home Sweet Home!

Yesterday we were released from the hospital and are now home and resting as much as a busy family of four can! We took Baby Coleman to the pediatrician this morning to get checked out and to make sure he was doing well. Dr. Joe gave him a clean bill of health and we will go back when he is 2 weeks old to make sure he is gaining weight like he should.

As for the Labor and Delivery, I could not have asked for a more smooth one. We were joking that it was a good thing I was induced otherwise I might not have made it to the hospital. We were scheduled to be at the hospital Monday morning at 6 and we were only 10 or so minutes late which isn't to bad. By 7 I had gotten my iv, filled out all my paperwork and had my water broke. At that point all I was waiting on was for the pitocin, which was started at about 7:45. At this point I was only about 3 centimeters and the waiting game began. Once the pitocin was started my contractions started to become more regular and at about 8:30 I went ahead and got my epidural at first it was only working on my right side. I let the nurse know and she gave me a boost which was exactly what I needed and I began to relax completely and just wait. At about 10:20 my nurse Teri checked and I was 5 to 6 so I figured we would be a few more hours, little did I know that Coleman had other plans. My nurse left after that and came back about 20 minutes later at which I told her I felt some pressure. I really thought I was just making it up but she checked me and said it was go time. She asked if I was okay with pressure and she would go ahead and get the room set up and call the doctor before I started pushing. So for about 20 minutes I just waited while she prepped the room and called Dr. Stone to come for delivery. It was 11:20 or so and we were still waiting on Dr. Stone and I was trying not to push and it crossed my mind that Teri may have to deliver this guy, it was about that time that Dr Stone walked in. And thank the lord he did, I pushed through 2 contractions and Coleman was born screaming at 11:28 am on Monday December 6th.

I immediately fell in love with this little boy who is the spitting image of his big brother and I can't wait to watch him grow. God has truly blessed our family this year and for that we are so thankful! Now let the fun with 2 boys begin!

Thankful Thoughts!

I know it is the day after Thanksgiving but we have so much to be thankful for this year. Not only do we have one healthy 2 year old but we have another little boy that is going to join our family in a few short days! We have a wonderful family who loves us and support us and are there to help out in any way we may need them. We have a house over our head, food on our table, transportation and clothes to keep us warm. Now more then ever I realize that it is the little things in life that make it so wonderful! I may not get to shop all I want and have all the latest and greatest thing but I have a little boy that I get to come home to every night who loves me more then anything and a husband that is willing do do anything for our family and that in itself means the world to me.

Other things I am also thankful for these days that aren't so sappy are coupons. I can't tell you how much we have saved over the last year just by watching deals and using coupons and we have not had to sacrifice the foods we love. Prilosec and Tylenol, I would have been beyond miserable this entire pregnancy without being able to take either of these two medications. My daily Diet Coke, there are just some days I don't think I can function without it, I am a little worried Coleman may be born addicted to them! My last Dr. appointment on Monday because it means that we are at the end of this pregnancy and are going to finally meet Coleman! And last thing I can come up with right now is my maternity dresses, I am just not comfy in pants and dresses have been my best friend over the last month.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and didn't eat to much!
