You don't have to tell me

Really, seriously you don't have to tell me that my son is the cutest little boy in the whole world... I mean come on look at him...

Caidan Movin'

I thought this time it would be different...

So I thought that since I started this pregnancy so great that this pregnancy would be completely different than Caidan but I was wrong oh so wrong!

The six week hit and I was sick and it hasn't stopped since. This time around is 10x worse than with Caidan. Then to top it off at 6 weeks I had some spotting. It was the most scariest thing in the world. I didn't know what to do... I hadn't seen my doc yet and wouldn't have for one more week. I called a few people and the advised me to call my doc so I paged him (I really really love my doc!) He called back and said that he wanted to see my the next day (Monday) and to just rest. I went in the next day and the did the whole first exam (you women know) and said that there was some bleeding blah blah blah. Also he put me on some medicine for being sick (which everything that I read about it said that it was great and worked... yeah didn't work for me.) He also said that he wanted me to go for an ultrasound next week.

This past Tuesday we went for our first ultrasound. I saw something different in the ultrasound and asked what that was. She said it was a bleed and that the doc would explain it. At that time I was a little worried. Why couldn't she just tell me??? Well after waiting a little the doc came in and told us that that "bleed" was a vanishing twin (YES A TWIN!) but didn't make it. He assured us that it was common (1 out 8 women) and that I should be okay but no heavy lifting and someother things for two weeks and he wanted to repeat the ultrasound in two weeks.

So here I sit very very sick and just waiting for this time to past. It been a hard two weeks. I haven't been able to enjoy Caidan like I want. He doesn't get much of my attention if any right now. But I have to say that he really is the best baby in the world.

So please keep us all in your prayers as we go through this rough stage... again. And pray for my husband because he has taken on a lot since I have gotten sick and he is the most amazing man ever!!!!

Caidan's first haircut!

Caidans hair was looking really shaggy so we needed to cut it!

Caidan in motion

Caidan has almost mastered crawling! Here he is in motion!

1 year!!!

I have been married to my husband for 1 year now! This year has been the best year of my life!

I married the best man in the world! And lucky for me he puts up with me each and every day. I knew when we had Caidan that Chris would be an AMAZING dad but what I didn't know is how much I would fall in love with him more because of Caidan. He's sensitive, caring, hard working, stubborn :), and most importantly LOVING! I would never want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else but him! I love you forever and ever!

Yet again! And Caidan is 6 months!

Well we found out today that we are....











PREGNANT!!!!

We are just pregnant meaning I am about 4 weeks! So the baby is due near the end of September. It was a TOTAL shock... but we are excited and thrilled! (I mean how can you not be excited for a little tiny miracle!?) Caidan and the baby will be about 14 months a part. A little close but hopefully they will be best buds (yeah we are hoping for another boy).

On another note Caidan turned 6 months on Friday! He is doing so much. He is at the beginning of crawling meaning he is just starting to get on all fours. He is 27 inches long and weighs 15 lbs 15oz! He can almost sit all by himself. He is so big! I can't believe in six months they can change so much!

RSV

So this past month has been exhausting!

Caidan had an ear infection about a month ago... he was put on antibiotics.

I started a new job working as a server at Chili's! (I love it!!!)

We went to Cincinnati for Christmas! It was fun and exciting!

Caidan was diagnosed with RSV. For the past week we have been dealing with that. He is A LOT better now. It was a scary thing and still is but he is better!

Christmas 2007

It was Caidan's first Christmas and it was fun. Even though he had no idea what was really going on I think he enjoyed it.


We spent Christmas Eve with Chris' family and Caidan had fun.



Christmas Eve after leaving Chris' parents we made our way down to Cincinnati. We spent Christmas Day with my family. My sisters hadn't seen Caidan since September. He has grown so much since then so they were excited!

No one ever tells you

No one ever tells you how difficult it is for you when your baby is sick.

Tonight Caidan vomited for the first time and THANK YOU GOD... Chris was home. Caidan was sleeping and Chris heard him gasping for air when he ran in there and he had vomited everywhere... and in about two hours he has vomited five times. As his mom I am freaking out! I don't know how to make my baby better. I can't call the doctor because it is in the middle of the night so I basicly have to watch him in pain and it is extremely sad. These are the things that people don't tell you when you have kids. Chris said tonight, "Now I know why everyone says you freak out with your first kid."

Its almost three in the morning and I have gotten maybe an hour of sleep. I can't fall asleep because everytime I do Caidan starts getting sick again. Luckily (knock on wood) its been an hour since he last threw up. He really has nothing left in him to throw up. (I spoke to soon)

For me as a mom I feel like I have done something wrong. I think of all the things that I have done that could have made him sick. As a parent you feel guilty!

It doesn't even matter how tired I am I would do this every night if he was sick... (God please don't let him be sick every night!)

Merry Merry Christmas

Merry Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caidan and Me

Sometimes Caidan and I just relax... here is one of those days!

4 months

Well Caidan is 4 months old and I can't even believe it! I know I say that ALL the time but come on... you as paremts know what I mean when I say that... you just can't believe that your babies are growing up!

We had his 4 month check up last Wednesday and I was nervous. Caidan doesn't eat that much and I was just scarred that I wasn't doing something right... but I had nothing to worry about because she said he is doing FANTASTIC!

He weighs 14lbs 3oz and 25 inches long! He is very long and slender. He needs 3 months pants but because he is so long I have to get him 6 month pants... I don't know where he gets his height from either! He is also teething which can be very painful for him and us at times. Caidan doesn't cry that often... but since he has begun teething sometimes he just lets out the biggest scream/cry I have ever heard. He is trying to roll over... I am not letting him (haha) not really I just want him to take his time. I want him to know that he doesn't need to rush it. Caidan has never really taken formula very well- i mean he takes it but he doesn' drink a lot. We have moved him to baby food and he devours it! We have noticed that he likes Bananas the best. He can eat two containers in one sitting! :)





Thats my little mister... I know he is too cute! That is why I love him more than I could ever tell you!!!

Dane Cook and Caidan

Dane Cook was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It was well worth the money and I would do it again in a heart beat! The picture of him doesn't do justice of how close we are but I didn't even have to zoom in! :) I love my husband so much for getting the tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!































Well Caidan has found his voice and he sure likes to talk! And I honestly don't mind it either... its just so darn CUTE! WE LOVES HIM!

Caidans first boo-boo

So Caidan got his first boo-boo the other day. We were all laying on the bed and the dogs were playing with there toy when I took it from them and through it. I threw it in the opposite direction of Caidan but Charlie decided he was going to go right over Caidan and he scratched his head. If you look at the picture below you can see the scratch on his eye lid. You really can't tell its there unless he is sleeping and its kind of swollen around his eye but not really. It was very tramatic for moma as you can tell. But Mister Caidan is doing okay and he never has seemed like anything was wrong. (and yes he did cry but not very long).

Caidan talks A LOT

Caidan is getting so big! Here is a little video of him "talking".

Pumpkin Patch and 3 months

I am THREE weeks old... can you believe it?? I can't either! Moma and Dada say I am getting so BIG! but I don't think I am that big. I still can't do verything that I want to. I can't sit up (and trust me I try... I wonder what my face looks like when I am trying), I can't walk, and I can't figure out why sometimes my hands move and sometimes they don't. So I don't think that I am getting to big... I will let everyone know when I am getting big.

Well moma decided to take my pictures the other day and here is what she got...

















I think if you ask me... I look pretty darn cute!

Last weekend Moma and Dada had a day off together and we went to the Pumpkin Farm with our friends....

















This is me falling asleep on my moma... she's just so good to me!












Here is me looking at Dada as he takes a picture of me and while Moma holds me.

















This is me trying to stand up by the pumpkins... I was kind of tired!













This is my friend Lily... Moma says she's cute... I don't know what I think of her. :)














These are my good friends Abbey and Madie... I think I might like them.

Happy Sweetest Day... TO ME!

I really have the best husband in the world...

November 3rd will be the best day in the whole entire world... and you know why?

The best comedian in the world is coming to Chicago and guess who is going...??

ME!

Chris is the best husband in the world! He got tickets for us to see DANE COOK!

And not only did he get tickets but he got tickets that are six rows away from the stage. See where the picture below says 1... thats where I will be sitting on November 3rd.

Our Family

Our Family- My Family!

I love my family. We got our first picture taken a couple weeks ago and I am so excited! We are a FAMILY!!! I mean I knew we were from the beginning after Caidan was born but actually seeing a picture of us...IT'S GREAT!

Caidan was sick this past weekend... he got his first fever. :( It was very sad- he was miserable- i was miserable- we were all miserable. But he is getting better now and he is getting SO BIG!

About a month ago we went to one of the state parks around... we took a lot of pictures. I am sure Caidan enjoyed it... he slept the whole time while daddy held him.

My baby is growing up... :(

So nothing special here... I just started a new job... sad but exciting at the same time. On the days that Chris and I work Caidan goes to my Grandmas (his great grandmas) and I wouldn't have it any other way. She adores him and I don't worry about him at all... I miss him A LOT but I am very thankful!
