He Awakes...

...but only for a short window. The joys of new borns and how much they sleep. Walt is a sleeper and has been doing really well through the night too, just only gets me up a couple times and lets me sleep in in the mornings. Oh I cherish his littleness!

He's here!

Well right on time the first day of my 37th week our lil Walter came to us. He was our earliest baby and also our biggest baby weighing 7lbs 8oz and 20in long. He actually has chubby cheeks....my babies never have that so we are excited about that.
This labor and delivery was longer then my other two. When I went in my water was leaking and then my water broke soon after, but oddly I wasn't having contractions or dilating. So we waited 3 hrs and I only dilated to a 5(still no contractions that I can feel) so they gave me some drugs to speed labor and soon after I got the epidural before I did start to feel pain b/c that's how I roll. Pain free labor yay! Then went to sleep for another 3 hrs to be woken up by the nurses saying "lets try to push" then 2 pushes later was our lil Walt!

Recovery was good as always...the nurses either hate me b/c I'm boring and don't give them anything to do or they love me b/c of that reason. Walt is breast feeding wonderfully and we are both healthy and happy.

The Home Stretch!

I'm 9 months (36 weeks) pregnant today! Ah so close...I had both Miles and Lucy in my 37th week so if history repeats itself this baby is coming with in the next week or so. I knew I wouldn't make it to February. Although I don't want two January birthdays. Guess we will see....I have a Dr. apt this Friday so we will see where I'm at. Last week I was dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced so it begins! I'm so excited to meet our new lil guy!

Handmade Gifts

This year I thought I did pretty good keeping up with my Handmade gift pledge. I made everyone something that I had to get a gift for.

First was my twin sister Steph I made her this needle felt brooch locket, she did teach me to needle felt over the Christmas break so she was surprised to see I caught on quickly.
I also put together this framed antique spoons that represent her and her fiance.
Next I was my sister in law Julia's secret santa. I made her my first coin purse and it was so much fun.
Then a cross stitched necklace.
I also made 4 Calendars from snap fish for gifts, and another needle felt brooch locket for my friend I didn't get a picture of it though.

7 years of Lovin!


I’m so lucky to have the most handsome and amazing man in my life. He works 9 or more hrs a day 7 days a week and always walks through the door at the end of the day with a big smile on his face and a happy attitude. He never complains if I don’t have dinner or a clean house. He does dishes after dinner every night so I can make a mess of the kitchen in the morning then comes home for his lunch break and does my breakfast dishes along with tidies up the rest of the messes the kids made. So then it’s all clean for me to mess up again for dinner. He keeps up the laundry and cleans the toilets. He always tells me how beautiful I am even when I’m pregnant and wearing my pj’s.

It’s all the little things he does too…like always manages to have a nice cold ice water by the bed so when I’m really thirsty and don’t want to get up there is always one there for me. When we are about to watch t.v he just brings me my glasses with out me even realizing I need them. When my phone rings he brings it to me with out me even asking. This is starting to sound like I’m really lazy, but with a husband that does it before I can…I can’t complain right! He makes the bed everyday if I’m not in it. If there are clothes on the floor they are mine not his. I know this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but he shaves, takes 2 showers and flosses his teeth everyday. I just know a lot of woman that have husbands that are slobs and I take that for granted. He never complains and always does what I want to do…weather that is dragging him to a place he doesn’t want to go, dressing in something he doesn’t want to wear, or watching the kids so I can go play. The best thing about him is he gives the best back tickles and never wants any in return!

If I had to tell you his faults it would be hard and they are kinda lame, but here we go. He hates chick flix, plays pc games(which I don’t mind, but some woman might hate) not really a problem b/c he puts family and responsibilities first. He doesn’t like the nice preppy clothes I think he would look cute wearing, and he pops his fingers way too much.

Even through all his HORRIBLE (ya right) faults he truly is the most selfless person. He always puts everyone first. He cares about their feelings before himself! I am so blessed and don’t deserve a best friend like that for eternity, but I will be thankful and try my hardest to love him just as much in return. There’s nothing like starting the day and ending it with a kiss and “I love you” from Robert Martin!
