Family pictures!

We did family pictures the other day, here are a few of my favorites.

Lets meet baby!

Hey everyone! Baby is HERE! I got off bedrest on Monday and within hours of seeing my doctor I was in labor. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and then off the to hospital. At 930 PM we arrived at the hospital contracting 5 min apart. We were admitted and I thought great this shouldnt take long. Well after 13 hours of labor and luckily only 2 pushes he was born at 1030 AM on October 6th. Gavin was 5lb 14oz and 19 inches long. He is doing great so far and we are so lucky for that considering he was only. We are home and doing great. Well dad looks fantastic but if you cant tell it had been a long night for me and Gavin.





He started turning yellow already, his jaundice is in the high range but we are just watching it, BIG CARSEAT little bitty baby! He is down to 5lb 7oz as of last night. It was an experience trying to get the carseat tight enough.Carson has yet to meet Gavin but will be home later tonight since he was not allowed in the hospital. Cant wait for the brothers to finally meet!

Big Boy Bed!!!

After we went to Vegas but before the big accident we transitioned Carson into.......A BIG BOY BED!!!!! We took apart his crib and he was a little upset about that but then he helped us put it up for the baby. So after that we thought this would take a good 30 mins maybe an hour to put this bed together. After we got all the pieces sperated and started we realized that the main support beam was split, I ordered this bed online and there was no way to get one right now but now Carson didnt have a bed!!! So I called Walmart in TEARS and told them they had a bed just like it and if I could come in and get the piece I needed out of the box. Taron didnt think they would let me but I took Carson in the store and who can say no to him! They opened a box of a different brand bed and traded pieces with me. I ran home and it FIT! So this hour long job actually took more than 4. Around midnight we finally got done and put the sheets on. So I thought was this worth the mess and then Carson jumped in all by himself, laid down, and was BEAMING!
We sat in his room telling him how he has to stay in bed at night, he cant get up and wander. We gave him all the rules and he was so excited and proud.
He has Crayola crayon sheets with an airplane comforter.



He did fantastic that first night, actually we have not had many issues with the transition. I knew he was ready. He shows off big bed to everyone and thinks he is so so big.

Each night we put him in bed and he runs over and opens and closes the door a few times, turns his music on and off, and then finally crawls in bed and goes to sleep. If he does wake up he will stand at the door with it open and cry but he will not come out until one of us tells him its ok.

I cant believe that he is already this big and Im so proud that he transitioned without problems. Now onto potty training.........
