Once upon a family...: January 2009

Family Update

With only 12 days until Payton arrives I thought I would at least give an update on our lives. I am as ready for Payton to arrive as I can get. All the baby clothes have been washed and cradle is up. The bottles and formula are ready and so are the diapers... now we just wait. We are having a planned c-section on 2/12 at 7:30am. I will try to get a post with all her info as soon as I can.

Elton has put in for a transfer to Phoenix. We should know if he gets it in a couple weeks. We are really hoping he get it.

Nolan is almost a third of the way through his freshman year. But other than that not much to report on him.

Brea is loving her terrible two's... Elton and I on the other hand are not loving it as much as she is.

Hayden is slowly starting to walk and loves to pester Brea.... Brea on the other hand is not liking it so much.

Kelson is back in Fort Collins with his father and is in the process of looking for a job. Hopefully he will find one soon.

So needless to say not a whole lot going on in our neck of the woods.

A Historic Day

History in the making happen on this day. Hayden took his first solo steps. We were standing in the kitchen and Hayden was in pulling on my pants as usual and then he just let go and took 3 steps toward Elton. Little Hyaden is amazing. I love his sense of adventure. He makes us laugh with the always funny things he does. He has also found his outside voice... thanks Brea... and love to use it. We sure love this little guy.

O Pregnancy

( You have to hum O Christmas Tree while reading in order for this to make any sense... this is what lack of sleep will do to a person)

O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
How I wish you were over;
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
How I wish you were over;
I’m so tired of not being able to sleep,
But also having swollen feet.
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
How I wish you were over;

O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Much pleasure thou are not giving me;
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Much pleasure thou are not giving me;
Will somebody please shoot me,
I’m so sick of having to continually pee!
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Much pleasure thou are not giving me;

O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Thy belly is so big and round!
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Thy belly is so big and round!
It’s like a giant mound,
My belly button can be hardly found.
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
Thy belly is so big and round!

O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
The last 28 days are killing me!
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
The last 28 days are killing me!
I just want to hold my new baby,
And love her unconditionally.
O Pregnancy! O Pregnancy!
The last 28 days are killing me!
