Happy Birthday Landry Wade!!!!

Welcome to the world my other favorite man....my Landry was born on January 18th, 2013 at 3:35pm  born big like sister Bella...exactly the same at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches :). All just like Bella!!
He is so perfect and thinking he is pretty much a lone of Wade agin :). Dominant genes I tell ya Daddy has!!

I was at 39 weeks and 3 days and was just done, couldn't sleep, HORRIBLE heartburn and acid reflux and mentally over the being ginormous!!  I gained almost 50lbs which was  way more than i ever ddid with Lizzie and Bella so needless to say it was hard to get around at the end   With te oter girls it was 30lbs for both.
Wade and I went in for scheduled induction at 6:30am to Mo Bap. I was so excited as my cervix just wasn't budging so who know when he was going tommakebit on his own. Don't think I could have gone much longer and stayed sane :). So 5:15 rolls around, showered and called the hospital to make sure they had beds open. Thank god...they did!!  So off we went at 6am!  It was quite weird to be going in without any contractions knowing he was on his way.  All others came on their own, but this was awesome...we had time to get all the girls organized and where they needed to be.

It took awhile to get checked inad settled...but the medicine finally were getting pumped in around 9am.   Nurse first checked me and I was at 5-6 cm which was great!!  So we started the potossin and relaxed and payed waiting game:).  About noon Dr. Matuszek came in and broke my water....such a weird feeling but glad I didn't have the epidural yet so I could actually feel it :).
Then the contractions really got good....felt them for about 45 min before I was ready for Dr. To come in for epidural. It was about 1ish when epidural was in and I was feeling nothing.  Went pretty quick after that....and after 4 whole pushes baby Landry was in the world at 3:35  I couldn't believe how quick he came once I got to 10m

He is so perfect and everyone just loves him so much. Such a blessing God has graced us with such a perfect Angel.

Baby Room and the waiting game

I am just a couple days shy of 38 weeks with little guy and so ready....
He is quite large in there and making it impossible to breathe :)

Sunday Trip to Pick Apples & Nectarines

So most of you know that I am not much of a cook...I can bake with the best of them, but when it comes to cooking....not so much!!  I leave that part to my wonderful hubby :)

Anyway this morning we were watching one of my favorite cooking shows Pioneer Woman and lets just say she made an amazing looking Pasta Salad that even Lizzie said she would eat.  Wade is headed home after a weekend golf touney and is planning on grilling steaks...so perfect I would show him I actually did something in the kitchen besides bake.   Lets just say it is amazing!!!

We started the weekend off with a little picnic and playtime in the park....

Followed by a whole rest of the day of laziness....man it has been awhile with nothing to do

Sunday morning Lizzie looked at me and said mom can we please do something....ok there is a darling little farmers market down the street from me and they just posted U Pick Nectarines and Apples.  We were there!!

Bella loved the fact that she had her own bag to fill up...she kept repeating "My Bag, My Bag"

Heading towards the nectarine trees...I have never picked anything but apples so I was excited to get some VERY fresh of my most favorite fruit.

Of course Bells was too excited about her bag to look at me for any quick pics....

Moving on to Apples...she was excited b/c these were low enough that she could grab her own!

And what  Bella was most excited about...her own container of Tomatoes..or MATOS as Bella calls them. 

Ready to go straight into the Pasta Salad for tonights dinner.

Can't wait to use all those nectarines once they have softened up a bit for a nectarine pie or cobbler.  And we have enough apples to experiment with some new cupcake recipes, icing, pies, etc.    Yummy...good thing I am preggo still b/c I will be partaking in eating all of them!!!

Such a great Sunday!!

Purina Farms

Bella was Mommy's helper on Friday for her normal weekly delivery to Purina Farms.  Since it is such a hike out there from New Town we decided to take in the animals and show while we were there.  The weather is actually perfect...unlike the 110 degree days we had been having this summer!! 

Bella was all about the piggies....right till we saw them.  Seeing all the animals up close was a little freaky for her :)  It was too cute!!

Shot of Bella and me before the Dog Show started

Since we are now 4 months preggo a snack was needed ASAP  :) 

I loved this day...the best was the videos I took of Bella's Dancing party from the Dog Show.  I just can't figure out how to upload them from youtube. 

First Day of School

Lizzie's in 2nd Grade!!

Quick snapshots of back to school night ....this is when we got to meet the teacher (Miss Barrett & Mrs. Malady) and take all the supplies to get her ready for her big day.

More preparations for the big day....sponge rollers are a must. 

I remember back in the day when my mom would put these in my hair :)  Timeless traditions!!

Lizzie and Mommy (16 weeks preggo)

Last 1st day shot in front of Discovery Elementary...she is the big girl in school now as this building holds preschool - 2nd grade.

Love you very much Miss Lizzie and hope you have a wonderful year in 2nd grade!!!
