My weekend in NYC!

So i am back from my awesome trip to new york! I am so glad that I had the chance to go visit Reagan and meet her little Piper. Reagan and I had spent most of our time shopping, talking, and eating some good food. It was fun to just hang out with her again. She is still the same wirey, free spirited person she has always been and that is what I love about her. Her husband Jake is equally just as awesome as she is. It was a great break, a badly needed one at that. Though I did miss my babies like crazy, I loved every minute I had to spend there. I will say that is was the most humbling experience meeting their adorable little girl. I cant even put into words how incredible and awesome Jake and Reagan are. Piper couldn't have asked more loving parents. They are the most optimistic, positive people and I admire that so much about them. That's another thing I have always loved about Reagan, is her attitude. I know she has her days but for the most part, her cup is always half full! I'm a little sad that I didn't have my camera because it still broken, but Reag is going to email me some pics so don't worry I will post them as soon as I get them. I just want to thank Reagan and Jake for such a great time and I hope to do it again.

Sorry to disappoint. . .

So I know I said that I was going to put pictures of Nixons Birthday up, well turns out my camera didn't want to work so I had to use my moms and all of the Pics are on hers. So in order for me to post pictures I am going to have to go to her house and do it. I could just take her memory card, but knowing one of my kids, they would for sure find a way to get ahold of it. I'm for sure going to do it cause I made him the cutest dump truck cake and I want all to see it. So keep a look out for his birthday party post.

Happy Birthday Nixon!

So today (Sept 6th) is our little guys big 2nd birthday. So I thought I would put some pictures of his birth and just some random ones up for everyone to see. I'm also going to go back on that day because I just love remembering it. It was the one of the best days of my life. Nixon came into the world pretty easily. I guess I just have the genes for easy, fast deliveries. It was any ordinary day. I had my 38 week check up that day so I was planning on going to Cedar for my appointment, but my mom had me help her in beaver dam first thing in the morning to help with some new patio furniture my Grandma wanted to take down there. So my mom came and got me and we went to beaver dam and unloaded the furniture and then we left for Cedar. I had felt good all day,though I was little uncomfortable, but nothing out of the ordinary. I showed up at the doctors office and my mom came with me, she had never gone with me before, but it was good she did. I met with the doctor, he checked me and I was dilated to a 5. So apparently I had been in labor and didn't even know it. He sent me down to labor and delivery and I got checked in at around six and they broke my water and that's when I felt it all. That's when the labor pains really kicked in. I was kind of nervous because I was progressing so fast after they broke my water and Ty wasn't there yet. I was dilated to an 8 and things stopped for awhile. They had given me the epidural and it only numbed one side so they had to give me more and it finally did its job. Good thing Nixon had turned the wrong way too cause that postponed him from coming . Ty got there and I finally got to a 10. I pushed three times and he was here. I cant even describe the feeling of having a baby. Ill never be able to. Its the coolest thing in the world. I had him at 9:45 p.m. So I was in labor for just under four hours. The first night was weird cause I didn't even get to see him until the next morning cause he wasn't breathing good. I only held him once so the next morning I woke up bright and early for the nurses to either let me go see him or bring him to me. They ended up bringing him to me and I was in heaven I finally got to hang out with him. For that being the only little hiccup, I really am so blessed that he was healthy and good sized. Hes are little guy and we love him so much! I will post his party pics tomorrow.

The first time with his momma(I know, Im a hottie!)

The Big Apple!

So I'm super excited, here's why. . . In three weeks I am headed to New York for a little much needed vacation. I am going to see my friend Reagan and her husband Jake. I'm mostly excited to meet their little Piper Jane. I haven't seen Reagan for so long and cant wait to hangout with her for three whole days. Lets just say that we have alot to cach up on. I'm not so excited to fly though. Ever since Ive had kids, for some reason it has made me nervous. I'm sure all will be good, I'm just a basket case about stuff like that. I'm not quite sure what we are going to be doing but I'm just psyched about going and seeing a great friend. Last time I was there I was preggers with Nixon, and we didn't do much sight seeing. We just went to baseball games. So I'm excited to experience New York. Hopefully I can do some shopping cause I need a serious makeover. I feel like such a mom and I need to rejuvenate my inner youth (If you know what I mean)!Being pregnant that last two years in a row hasn't done much for my wardrobe. Anyways. . . I'm excited!
