Paige goes to Kindergarten and baby JJ

Wednesday Paige started her first day of Kindergarten.  Was I emotional?  Well, Yes.  Seeing my little Paiger getting on the big yellow bus was just a little too much for me.  She was so excited not so much to start school, but to ride that bus!  Off she went with no fear.  JJ met her at school and helped her to class.  It has been so nice having JJ home.  He has never had the opportunity to see the girls off on their first day of school.  School seems to be a hit with both girls so far.  Abby is getting very anxious to start preschool on the 2nd of September.  

The little man is now 2 weeks old.  It seems like he has been with us forever though.  The girls just love him, but they do not smoother him which is nice.  Yesterday, the baby even peed on Abby (has yet to get mom) and she just laughed and laughed.  I was happy she didn't get mad at him.  You never know with Abby!!

One week old and Back to school

First of all I had to show off our little man at one week.  He is just too sweet except between 12 and 3am.  Wont miss that when he sleeps through the night.  Thank heavens he is so handsome!!

JJ took the girls to meet and greet their teachers last friday.  Syd is a big 2nd grader now and Paige is in Kindergarten.  Sydney started school today and Paige starts Wednesday.  Abby starts Preschool September 2nd.  Wow, all three in school!!!

He's Here!!!

Saturday night little JJ decided he could wait no longer maybe it was because Abby talked to my belly all day saying " Come out baby JJ so I can hold you, kiss you, and dress you up as Prince Phillip"!!!  At 2 am I told JJ it was time to go to the hospital with contractions only 5 minutes apart.  I was ecstatic no more drugs, no more bed rest!!! We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and after awhile the contractions slowed down, the nurse stated I may be in false labor!  Not what I wanted to hear and I was not going to have that.  Sure enough the contractions picked up and baby JJ was born at 2:17 pm Sunday, weighing in at 7 Lbs 7 Oz. and 20 1/2 inches long at only 36 weeks.  He would have been huge if he would have been full term.  After he was born I had the most overwhelming feeling of contentment.  My family is all here!!!

Summer fun

Okay, so it has been awhile since my last post.  JJ jr. was trying to make an early entrance into the world at 33 weeks.  I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days and then I have been on bed rest, good news is that I am at 36 weeks now and that the baby can come any time now hopefully (My doctors appt. is Thursday)  During my stay in the hospital I was able to get another ultrasound.  The baby is huge already weighing in at 6 pounds 9 oz. and you could see his spiky hair and fat chubby cheeks I wish I had a copy to show you all.  My mom has came to our rescue and has been taking care of the girls, house, pets, food, ect.  She is amazing, I am very grateful she is here.  

This last weekend the girls, grandma, and JJ went to Elitch Gardens 

here in Denver (it used to be 6 flags).  It was JJ's work get together so they all enjoye

d free entrance, food, and fun although it was 103 degrees here!!! 

 While they were gone I finished the last of the Twilight series books, Breaking Dawn, and can I just say fabulous.  I couldn't put it down, now I can't wait to see the movie in December. Maybe by the next post JJ jr. will be here!!!
