I went in to be induced on Thursday morning at 5 am and he arrived at 9:08 am. Luckily I had asked for my epidural before they even gave me the Potosin because it went faster than we thought. The baby came so fast that I didn't even have to push and the doctor was able to just shimmy him out. We had a few complications and I had to have a blood transfusion after the delivery but everything turned out fine and we are both healthy.

Snow

We had our first real snow storm last weekend and of course Jordan couldn't wait to take Jack out to play in it.

The BIG Ultrasound!

Last week before we headed down to Vegas for Thanksgiving, we went to our doctor's and had the ultrasound. For the last month or so we have been calling this baby a little girl, partly because I would love a little girl, but the ultrasound proved different! Yep- we are having another little BOY! I must admit that at first I thought it was a girl because the tech had a great shot right between the legs and you couldn't see anything, but then she kept moving the head around and sure enough his manhood popped onto the screen.

After we had the ultrasound we went to Costco and all Jordan could say (with a big grin of course) was how excited he was to have two little hunters! It will be nice to have two boys together because they will be so close in age. I just can't help but wonder if there is a little girl up there for me. All the same we are really excited!

Halloween

I figure I better get these pictures up or they may never make it up. We spent Halloween up in North Salt Lake with my sisters and parents. Jack was a mouse (thanks to my sister's hand-me-down costume). Unfortunately, the head piece was too small for Jack's big head, so it didn't make it in many of the pictures.

Jack didn't really enjoy the trick-or-treating part because he thought all of the commotion at the doorway was a little unsettling for him. His favorite part of the six houses that we made it to were the two houses that had little house dogs. He thinks getting licked is the best next thing to his mom sharing M&M's with him.

We trick-or-treated with my sister Heather's three boys. This year they all decided that they wanted to be Darth Vader, even though they have never seen Star Wars.

New Favorite Thing

Jack has taken to reading lately and really finds enjoyment in reading nude. Can't say that I blame him. Nothing better than curling up with with a good book in your warm bed- he probably gets this from his mom.

Jack's 1st Birthday

This is a little late but we celebrated Jack's birthday last Tuesday. It was a small affair with just Jordan and I plus Resa and Macy (Jack's little playmate) came to help us celebrate.



This is post-cupcake mess. He didn't know what to do with the presents and wrapping paper. He didn't know what to do with the singing and the candle. But he did know what to do with his birthday cupcake.
His favorite gal pal Macy!

Where Have We Really Been?

I can honestly say that I have been parked on my couch for the last month or so because our little family is happily expecting a new baby. I really don't know how far along I am because I am trying to delay my doctor appointment so that when I go in he will tell me the wonderful news that I am 15 weeks along or something close to when the sickness goes away. Our baby is due at the very end of April so it will put about 19 months in between it and Jack. Crazy- yes!I keep thinking to myself how could I let this happen but we are excited all the same.

So our family life hasn't consisted of anything too exciting lately because I really just try to find the energy to get off the couch. But I have been meaning to post some pictures of Jack


One of Jack's favorite things to do is go on bike rides with Jordan. It really is the cutest thing. Jordan bought Jack a little helmet and so everyday when Jordan comes home from school, Jack will crawl over to his helmet and start hitting it and then go to the door, letting Jordan know that he wants to go on a bike ride.
The helmet is for the size of a 3-year old head but luckily our son has such a big head that he fits into it!
This picture just makes me laugh- he really has quite the funny facial expressions.
Jordan was getting Jack's bath water in and was at the front of the tub while Jack was playing at the end. Jordan somehow missed Jack climbing over the side and into the tub. Apparently Jack couldn't wait to get in the water.
