2 months already
Isn't it crazy how fast they grow and change. We took Nono (Presleigh's special name for Noah) in for his 2 month exam last week. He weighed in at 13 lbs 3 oz (85%) and is 24inches long (90%). He is definitely a growing boy, and a healthy one too. He is such a sweet little man. He is awake alot more now and is such a good baby. He is always smiling and talking to us. He basically sleeps through the night (about 7:30 to 5:30) which is so nice for his momma.

Fairy Tale Town
Last week while Wayne was out of town some friends and I took our kids to a place called Fairy Tale Town. It was so weird to be taking my two little ones here because I totally remember my mother taking my siblings and me to fairy tale town when we were little. Presleigh had a good time playing. This water fountain was actually her favorite.
Yes, that is one ginormous Mother Goose!!!

Joy in the journey
Lately I have been trying so hard to enjoy every moment I have with my kids.
Noah is such a sweet little boy. He is cooing and making so many noises and I just love him to death. He is getting so big so fast and it makes me so sad. He is already almost 7 weeks old but I swear he looks like he's 4 months. Feeding and sleeping are going much better now. He loves taking baths and he puts up with a lot from his big sis.
Presleigh has been so much fun lately. She learns new words every day and I'm loving it. Well, I love the nice words she learns. She is obsessed with brushing her teeth (thanks Grandma) and everytime she gets upset about something she always asks to brush her teeth. Everytime she gets hurts she always comes to me for a kiss on her hand (even if she bumps her head). She loves to go outside and pick the pretty purple flowers, and ride on the scooter. She would eat a whole box of slow melts a day if I would let her. She loves to push her baby around in the stroller. She absolutely loves her brother. She is always asking to hold him, and I love the little face she makes when he touches her cheek. She gets so excited. Sometimes she gets a little to close for comfort, like yesterday when she tried to sit on his lap while he was in his swing. She thinks it's her swing. She loves chairs, and is always saying "my chair." The other day she was playing with Noah's carseat and fell asleep in it (pictures to come). I love that she wants to help me clean. She helps put clothes in the dryer, and also helps me empty the silverware. I can't believe how much she understands. She's growing up so fast.
I am so blessed to have two amazing kids to spend so much of my time with. I love my little kiddos!!

My cute baby stuff!!!!
I wanted to finally post some pictures of the beautiful diaper bag that my mother made for me while she was here helping me with baby Noah. She was a little worried that I wouldn't use it because it is so massive, but I absolutely love it. It fits everything I need for Pres and Noah. I picked the fabric out when I was in Utah and we got the pattern out of the Amy Butler baby pattern book.
It has pockets all around the outside to fit all my stuff...
It even fits baby Noah!!
When I was in Montana in May I picked out the pattern for the baby bedding I wanted my mother to make for me. I also ordered the fabric and had it sent there so she could work on it. She got it done just in time for baby Noah's arrival. I was just expecting the crib skirt and bumper pad but she had extra fabric so she made this adorable quilt to go with it.
Aren't these buttons so stinking cute.

Labor and Delivery
I was scheduled to be induced on Sunday the 12th because my doctor was out of town til then. Wayne had planned on driving to SLC after he got off of work on friday and spending the weekend and then leaving either sunday night or monday, depending on baby.
I went in to the doctor on tuesday and found out that I was dialated to a three so we started to get a little nervous that I would go into labor before sunday. Wayne found out that he could take some sick leave which he had accumulated from when he worked for the feds previously so he decided to leave on wednesday. Thursday night we decided to go up to Park City and walk around the outlets because I had heard that this could induce labor. Well it worked!!
Friday morning at about 1:45 am I woke up with contractions. They were really weak but consistently 5 minutes apart. So I decided to take a shower to see if they would go away, which they didn't so we packed up and left for the hospital. We got there around 3:00 in the morning. At about 8:00 I was ready for the epidural but the doc was in a c-section delivery so I had to wait for him to get done. I finally got the epidural at 9:30 and then they broke my water at 10:00. To speed up the process they gave me a little pitocin. My epidural went up into my chest again and was in my right arm big time. This time around i could feel and move my legs a lot more but i still felt way clostrophobic and so of course I got super sick. I also had to have pennicilin through my IV because of group strep B. The pennicilin started burning my whole arm really bad and would get worse when the blood pressure cuff would inflate. I thought my arm was going to fall off at one point but the nurse figured out how to fix it. Then they put in the catheter, which was the most uncomfortable part of the whole experience. Catheters and I just don't mix well!! Right when I was about to pull the stupid catheter out, my doctor told me i was dialated to a 10 and ready to push. I pushed for about 20 minutes before this sweet little boy entered the world.
Noah got to spend the whole day with us on Friday but Saturday he spent in the nursery on lights because he was a little bit jaundice. We were a little worried that this would delay our traveling to Sacramento but the doctors cleared him on Sunday to go home. So we left the hospital on Sunday morning and headed for Sacramento. It was a long 13 hour drive home but Noah did great.
