20 Months and 2 Weeks

This kid is still obsessed with balls.  That's all I hear all day, balls! 

Our 3 generation picture

 

Camden

He is all boy.  Loves being loud, any sort of ball, playing with hot wheels cars, dinosaurs, blocks, and running around.  He still entertains himself pretty well by throwing his balls and then chasing after them.  He has pretty good form when he throws them as well, he will hold and throw the football the right way.  Loves being outside and usually tries to escape when I open the door.  Still loves his binky and blankets.  Got a growth spurt recently and can now reach more things and get into more trouble.  New words he says are sit, and football.  Still doesn't say a lot, and gets frustrated when we don't know what he wants.  Has become more friendly to people, will tell them hi when passing by.  Has almost all of his teeth, is just working on one last I tooth on top.  Still is a picky eater, especially while getting in this last tooth.  Is always on diaper duty.  He thinks that he needs to throw away any diaper, his or Sienna's.  He is obsessed with it, but at least he is helping!  He also likes his sister now, and will ask to hold her.  It is cute, but he gets a little obsessed with it and wants to do it all the time.  He is a crazy, fun, boy and we love him so much!

Our little Sienna is growing!  She is still a great baby, but we have had a couple of rough nights where she wants to be up between the hours of 11pm-2am...not so much fun for me.  I want her to be on a schedule but know that realistically that isn't going to happen for awhile.  She is so sweet, she loves to be held, doesn't spit up, or even complain when she has a dirty diaper.  It is so fun to have a girl to dress in cute clothes and headbands.  

We love her so much and are so blessed to have her in our family.  

We so loved having Grandma Clark come stay with us for 2 weeks!  We didn't want her to leave.  She was so helpful with Camden and Sienna, cooking meals, cleaning, hanging out, shopping and keeping me sane while trying to adjust to two little ones!  We are so grateful for our families and all of the love and support they give us!

One Week

5 days old!

Having fun with his present from G&G Teachout!

This picture is deceiving, Camden was forced to hold her, and only did because he has the remote!

One Week Old

Having fun with Grandma at the pool!

Sienna is now one week old!  She is a very good baby, she has even been sleeping 4-5 hours straight at night!  She doesn't complain or cry very much, just when she wants to eat, or has to get her pic with Camden! ;)  Camden is still adjusting to her and doesn't really do much with her.  He still doesn't want to be near her and doesn't like it when Eric holds her, but I'm sure that it will get better as he realizes that she is here to stay.  Camden has been loving life with Eric home and my mom here.  He thinks that he is the boss of her, and will take her hand and make her do what he wants.  I'm so grateful that my mom was able to come and stay with us.  She has been a huge help, and we love having her!

I love the frowny face!

Big brother the day we got to go home!

Visitors when we got home from the hospital!

Camden wanted nothing to do with Sienna, he moved every time my mom put her near him!

Our sweet baby girl is here!  I was scheduled to be induced on Thursday, June 4th.  We planned to have Camden stay the night at Jackie and Christian's house, so we had dinner there and then bathed him, set up the pack n play for him, and tried to put him to bed, but he freaked out!  He actually freaked out the whole time that we bathed him and to put him to bed.  I didn't think it would be as bad as it was, but he could definitely sense that something was happening.  He even climbed out of the pack n play, opened the bedroom door and came out, all while screaming and crying.  It took awhile for him to calm down, but eventually he fell asleep.  He had a rough day the next day as well, but still had fun playing with his cousins.  

After we left Camden, we went home and went to bed because I had to call the hospital at 5am to make sure that they still had room for me to come in.  They did have room, so we had to be to the hospital by 6am.  It was an early start to the day and when we got there, I had to fill out some paperwork and then we had to wait about 50 mins before we were taken to the labor and delivery room.  Once we got in, I had to get the antibiotic for strep b, because I had tested positive for it, and they wanted to make sure I had a couple of doses before she was born.  They also started the pitocin.  I was already at a 4 when I got to the hospital, so I knew that it was going to be faster than with Camden.  Everything went really well and as a whole it was a much better experience than with Camden.  My Dr. broke my water at about 10:30am and a half hour later I asked for the epidural.  I knew that I was already going to get one, so I got it as soon as I started feeling more painful contractions.  I waited too long to get one with Camden and ended up feeling a lot more than I wanted to, so this time I took no chances.  The epidural worked really well, I couldn't feel my legs or feet at all, and it was hard to just move them.  Unfortunately it took awhile for it to go away as well, especially on my right side.  But I am grateful that I got it, because I felt no pains as Sienna came out.  I was at a 10 at about 3pm so the nurse had me start pushing.  I pushed for about a half hour and then she was here!  When she came out, I was surprised at how small she was.  I thought for sure she was going to be bigger!  It is always such a surreal moment when they hand your baby to you for the first time.  I'm so grateful that she was healthy and perfect!  

Jackie and Brittney brought Camden to the hospital later that night, but he didn't want anything to do with me or the baby.  He was still upset that we had left him and only wanted to be with Eric.  Unfortunately the nurses took so long doing all the stuff in the nursery that Jackie and Brittney didn't even get to hold Sienna.  They brought her back to me about 10 mins after they had to leave.  We had to stay in the hospital for 2 nights, which I was not happy about.  I only wanted to stay one night, but Sienna's bilirubin was too high and had to stay.  We got to leave Saturday morning about 11am.  It is always so nice to come home and just be in the comfort of your own home.  Plus, a couple of hours after we got home my mom arrived!  

We love our little Sienna and are so happy that she is here and a part of our family!  We feel very blessed and are happy to be a family of four!  

38 Weeks

I was 38 weeks on May 24th.  I talked to my Dr. and am scheduled to be induced on June 4th, 3 days before my due date.  So baby girl will be joining us very soon!  I am feeling good, just tired from chasing a 19 month old around every day.  

We got Camden a pool for Easter, but haven't had a chance to get it out yet because we have been having so much rain.  We have had record rainfall this year, which means that we also have lots and lots of mosquitos.  So every time we go outside Camden and I usually get eaten alive.  One afternoon when we actually had sunshine I decided to get the pool out while Camden was napping and have it all ready for him when he woke up.  He was pretty excited when he saw it outside, but the water was cold so he didn't really want to be in it much.  But hopefully we can get it out more and he will have some fun in it.  We also went to the pool to have some fun before baby girl arrives.  Camden now loves the pool, he doesn't ever want to get out!  He also loves wearing his sunglasses, he will keep them on for almost the whole time.  

Only a week and a half more until our baby girl arrives!  We are so excited to meet her and see what she looks like.
