Sprinklers

Heres a quick video of daddy and Owen playing in the sprinkler :)

OUTNUMBERED

who would have thought that id be so outnumbered in my own house! a husband, 2 baby boys, and a male dog. one day we'll get another female in here. but we wont even start thinking about that for a looooong time! :)

i would apologize for not blogging sooner, but i think i have a pretty good excuse. life with 2 babies is a tad different than life with one! and we are preparing to move to austin, so its getting a tad hectic. not really, life is really good. but things are definitely changing. so here is a quick rundown of the past few weeks-

i went in for my c-section on friday at 6am. the spinal went great (the part i was most nervous about), and caleb was born at 8:20am. they didnt get around to giving me my pain meds till a while after the surgery, so i was in quite a bit of pain there for a bit. but, once i got amped up on morphine and vicodin, i felt great! caleb is a WONDERFUL baby. he has brown hair and dark eyes, the complete opposite of owen! when owen was born, my mom said "my babies looked just like that!" and this time, when caleb was born, nathan's mom said the exact same thing! its so crazy how genetics work. both of my babies are precious, and represent their parents well! :)

my mom, dad, sister, aunt marla, and stacy all came to texas to visit. it was so wonderful having them here! nathans parents and family were also tremendous! the birth this time was SO different than owens birth in louisville. this time, we had CONSTANT family and friends at the hospital. i loved it! though at one point, i remember being super drugged and everyones faces were kindof spinning. not too sure how that worked out for everyone else there.. :)

we have been home for over a week, and caleb is just TOO good. he has slept through the night since day one. verrrry weird. people are praying for me, and thats a fact! he eats every 2-3 hours, but sleeps all night inbetween. in a few days ill start working him toward a schedule. he is so wonderful though. owen had a quick episode of jealousy for a few days, but seems to have gotten over it. hes a tad more fussy than usual, but itll pass. hopefully..

welp, we're moving to austin in 10 days and we cant wait! nathan and his buddies are moving all of our stuff down this weekend, then we'll make the offical move next weekend, after evans wedding. we love our house and cant wait to get there! itll take a while to get adjusted, but im READY! we already bought a baby pool to put in the backyard, and a waterhose, so owen will be 100% entertained. he LOVES being outside and LOVES water. and i LOVE him :)

not much else going on around here. nathan has been my bestest friend through all of this. he has taken care of owen and caleb so much, i almost feel like the transition to 2 babies has been too easy for me! what would i do without him? id be a wreck! he takes owen and titus on a walk at the park every morning before he goes to work, so i can sleep. and he takes owen swimming every afternoon so i can get a break! i mean really, hes amazing.

here are a few pics i thought id share, though im sure everyone has seen them on facebook. not sure when ill get around to blogging again, but ill try my best!

Eh

Sorry I have been a slacker with blogging lately. One week from today, I'll be in surgery and getting ready to see my baby boy. Needless to say, I havent been thinking about blogging much!

All is well around here. Im starting to get into nesting mode, which is why Owen and I will be cleaning much of today. And going to Target to get a few last minute things. Exciting, I know! Life is as anyone would expect during the last week of pregnancy- cant sleep, can barely move, and just feel LARGE! I can NOT wait to have my body back and start running again! woo hoo!

We have officially been accepted for our rent house in Austin, and we are SO excited. Its such a blessing, I cant wait to be there! We are also verrrry close to being done with support raising. Things are finally coming together!

Sorry for the boring post, just not a lot of craziness going on around here. Except for my crazy kiddo, that is. He's so great :)

What a Bust.

Nathan and I headed to Austin yesterday to find our dream home for the next 2 years! Yeah.. no luck. boooooo. We either have to lower our expectations, or spend more money. I think we will have to spend more money. DANGIT. We were pretty discouraged on our way home yesterday. Not to mention that we got stuck in traffic FOREVER. It was a serious bust. Thank you Nana and Tracy and Claudio for watching baby O while we were gone. Its so nice to be able to do things while Nana and Pop watch the little one!

So, after that horrible day of house hunting, I told Nathan I needed to go to Walgreens to get my coupon fix. It helped, I was happy when I left with all of this stuff and spent $4. and made $3. So really just spent $1. ha.



I wont say anything else about it, since you can read about it at marciescoupons.blogspot.com. It is fun, though!

Not much going on lately. Just continuing to get ready for Caleb, hang with Owen, and get prepared to move to Austin. Life is good and we are super blessed.

my aunt marla warned me that my children would probably be climbers. she said that my mom would often find me on top of counters and furniture. welllll, she was right. i was vacuuming a few days ago, and when i turned around, this is how i found owen-






my diaper shower is this afternoon and im super excited! holy cow, im about to have another baby...

prego brain

yet another incident has occurred with my ridiculous prego brain. this one could have ended rather poorly...

yesterday, owen and i were out running errands, and i stopped to get gas. i put my credit card into the slot, and realized that it didnt come out. i got really confused and started looking all around the machine to see what was wrong. wellllll, i put my credit card in the receipt slot. yeah. i shoved it all the way up there! for some reason, i put tweezers in my purse a few days ago. thank HEAVENS. i sat there like an idiot and got my card out of the receipt slot with tweezers. i dont know what i would have done if i hadnt had them... embarrassing!

Egg Huntin Fool

Owen LOVED searching for Easter eggs. So much so that we still do it at least once a day around here. Here are a quick pics from the search. And yes, his shirt is off in a few. I thought he was roasting, so I stripped him down. Theres also a video, but its not too exciting. Enjoy.
