Another quick post here…I guess they’re always quick posts, huh? Man, it’s sure busy with 3 little ones running around. Jaime has quite a time with them now that I’m back to work but we’re managing well. The kids are adjusting to having a little sister that takes up alot of daddy’s time but they’re doing very good. We pulled out a pool that I bought like 2-3 years ago and I finally set it up this weekend. Even with putting sunscreen on all of us, I got burned and Mason and Nevaeh got darker. hehe, i’m always the one to burn. Anyway, here’s a picture from this past weekend. I really need to try to do a more consistent post at least once a week. I never know if anyone reads this though. So, hehe please, post a reply or comment to tell me if anyone is reading this. If noone is…well…LOL, I guess I don’t have to worry about posting much eh? LOL, i’m tired…i’m not making much sense…but hey, humor me…post a comment :) Without further ado…here’s the picture of us!
Here’s a quick post for sharing our family photo we just got taken by a friend! I’ll post more later, and also to shre more pics she took!
I was not scheduled to go in for my c-section at 39 weeks until June 2nd. But there were other plans for us. I went in for my appt in L&D on Friday, May 23rd. Because my blood pressure was so high and I had some labs that were reading too high, they decided to deliver the baby that day. She was born at 2:31pm. Here are two pics for you while we were in the hospital. She was born at 8lbs 10oz and 20 inches long.
Mason and Nevaeh took to her very well! Vaeh saw her and was saying, “baby, baby, baby”. Mason came up to her and rubbed her head and said, “Awwww”. Wish us luck!!! I’m on my maternity leave for 6 weeks. I’ll worry about going back to work when the time gets closer. I just hope that i’ll have the energy to be a great mom, a great wife, and having this last year at my command be the best it can be. Anyway…I’ll write more when I get the chance. We are now trying to get used to having three children and trying to get a routine going that will work for everyone.
I apologize to anyone that visits and still reads my blog. It is so sadly out of date it’s not even funny. It has been quite a crappy last 4 weeks though. Everyone in the house has been sick. But I think within the next week or two, hopefully the colds will be gone.
Baby girl will be here next month. We’re still picking out the ‘perfect’ name for her. I can’t believe it’s already about that time again! Where did the time go?!? I will attempt, not promise, but attempt to keep the site updated, even if it’s posting a few pics here and there of the family. It’s tough getting time to do much these days.
Rest assured, the baby is doing fine, Mason and Nevaeh are doing great! Me and Jaime are better than we ever were, except for getting over this cold. I’ll update again when I have more time and am not medicated on painkillers. (hehe, I might have cracked a rib or tore something in that area with all the coughing I’ve been doing…Yaaa Michelle, eh?!!!! hahahaha)
We miss you all!
The days have just been going by faster and faster these days. Updates on us: Mason is fully potty trained, day and night!!! Even going #2 by himself and hardly needing our help. Nevaeh has been showing signs of wanting to potty train too…we think. She keeps taking her diaper off (and if she’s got pants on, she takes those off too) and sure enough, she’s wet, or (!!!!!!!!) has poopie (ewww!). She’s also brought us diapers. There was one instance where she took off her diaper, went to the bathroom and peed right in front of the toilet! If that’s not a sign…hehe. She’s been flushing the toilet on her own even for me and Mason when we have the door open. So, I’ve been told after talking about it that she could be ready for her own potty.
With the pregnancy, we’ve found out it’s another girl! :) I know I posted below. The pregnancy isn’t going as well as it could be going. And work is DEFINITELY not understanding. When you have a high risk pregnancy, and others around you have had healthy, no-problem pregnancies you get looked down upon…to say the least. Comparisons fly by daily. I won’t get into it. If you know me well and talk to me…you know how not understanding they are. They don’t recognize the severity of it. It’s a possibility I may have to fly Medevac to Okinawa if things keep progressing badly. I can’t see why they …….I’m gonna stop there….Not worth wasting my typing on it any longer.
Needless to say, I’m only concerned about the baby and my health. That’s all that matters right now. My focus is to get to 35 weeks. I’m currently 27 weeks. So, hopefully, for the next 2 months she stays healthy, grows big and strong, and stays in there…hehe. We just want to see her in mid to late May. She’s due 1st week of June…but I’ll take May. I just don’t want anything bad to happen. :( And Mason is such a great big brother…Kissing and hugging my tummy daily and telling the baby he loves her. Nevaeh likes to come up and play ding-dong with my belly button and also blowing raspberries on my tummy. God I love my kids!!! They make everything better in the world. You could be having the worst day and a kiss from your little ones just wash it all away. 
Well, after that lil rant…hehe otherwise things are going well in our household. I’m even taking a distance education college course (even though I wish I wasn’t now). That puts me only4 classes from finishing my Bachelor’s degree. How awesome is that!!! By early next year, i’ll be a 4 year college graduate…with my sights set on finishing my Master’s degree in teacher education before retiring in 2014!
Well, thanks for reading. Have a good one!
First snow of the winter! It was Vaeh’s first as well. And it’s Mason’s 2nd one. He didn’t like it much for his first one. It was a nice day, though we had plans to go out and they got canceled. Anyway, just wanted to write something so I could also post a picture too! Here are the kiddies and me posing for a pic:
Well, we were visiting Mary and Chris and Mason ‘had to go’. He has been not so good on going #2 in the potty. But tonight, maybe after seeing Dylan go, he thought he could do it too. And he did!!!!! We’re so proud of him. Now if he can start doing that all the time, but I know not to expect it overnight. But at least it’s a start! Yaaaa for Mason!
Well, we had our big ultrasound appointment at Radiology today. Everything looks great with the baby. I’m right on time with the estimated date of delivery as well. (20 weeks today). She kept closing her legs and he got a glimpse or two and noticed “no bump”. So, he says it looks like a girl. He was the same doctor that examined both Mason and Nevaeh when I was pregnant with them, so I told him, he’ll probably be 3 for 3.
So, please send all your well wishes to Jaime and Mason as the women outnumber the men in the house now. hehe. They’ll have to fight off all of the boys keeping them away from the two lil girls until they’re married! haah. Yeah i’m starting it already! LOL.
The ultrasounds below are various shots. One is of the face (you see the eye sockets), one of the feet, and one of the side view of the face!
Just wanted to share with everyone that Mason is sleeping through the night in his underwear with NO accidents!!! Sure, he still has his ’thing’ with going #2 still, but he hasn’t had any pee-pee accidents for almost 3 weeks now!!! He wears his underwear all day and night now. We are still working with him to go #2 though..so if anyone has any ideas that may work for us, please send them our way!
Hooray for Mason!!!
Well, it’s a little after 5am here in Japan now. I woke up and need to go back to bed…lol. Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Safe New Year if it hasn’t happened for you yet. Hugs and well wished to everyone!
