sorry i have not posted!!

I have tried multiple times now to post some new pics of Lincoln and the kids and so far everytime it has failed. I get soo frustrated dealing with this blog its almost more trouble than its worth. If any one wants to come help my with it sometime I would really appreciate it. But honestly everytime I try to upload the pics it just stays blank forever and never actually loads them onto the page. So anyways, Lincoln is doing great! He has surpassed his birthweight by alot this week so the breastfeeding thing is working much to my surprise. He gained over an ounce a day his second week of life. We love him soo much and are soo glad he is finally here and we can kiss him all day. The kids absolutely love him to peices and cant smother him enough. Im a little sleep deprived but thats to be expected right? Other than that I am doing great. Just a little bragging note... I got my prepregnancy pants on yesterday!! Yay for me, i just had to let people know because I was terrified that this baby would put me over the edge and I would never get back in my pants. I will try to post pictures when i can figure it out or when my computer wants to cooperate.

Lincoln's Birthday will be Jan 13(which is tomorrow)

I just wanted to post about my very last doctors appt and let everyone know the details. I dont know when i will actually post again but it will be with pictures of the sweet baby boy. I went in today and I am 4 cm dialated and close to 100% effaced. Thats pretty good for not being in labor yet. Anyways, my original induction date is monday the 19th and my doctor told me he would see me then. Well then we got a phone call today at 4:15pm and it was my doctor asking if we would rather come in tomorrow at 9am instead because he had a cancellation due to some other lady having her baby today. "well duh!! like im gonna say no i want to wait till monday" anyways I told him of course we would be there. So needless to say we are ecstatic!

This pregnancy has been awesome and full of ups and downs as far as my own anxieties about everything. The actual pregnancy itself has been great, I cant complain about that. But i am ready to finally get to hold, smell, love, hug, kiss and anything else this sweet baby boy that we have tried so hard to get the past two years. Its all worth it thought. I will update later to let everyone know how it went.

Random Holiday Pictures

This was me and sweet Bailee right before church on my birthday. I thought we looked soo cute for church that day that I couldnt waste a good picture.

Heres Bailee decorating the tree. The tree in the picture really looks small but it does look a little bigger in really life.

I think santa left rudolph at our house!! I went to pick Bryce up from preschool and the teacher had all the little kids outside in the fron yard all looking like rudolph and it was the cutest site to see. Bryce left those antlers and nose the rest of the day and wanted daddy to see how cute he was. I dont know how anyone could make fun of rudolph when hes soo dang cute.

This day was monumental!! Bailee has never sat on santas lap and not screamed her head off. usually we even have to stay upstairs in the mall so we dont get too close. But for some reason this year she was determined to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted. She still was a little apprehensive to be too close but she was soo proud of herself the rest of the night and we were so proud too. we will see what next year brings.

Ginger bread houses!

So the week of Christmas, the kids really wanted to make a gingerbread house so we decided to make a day out of it. They had alot of fun. Mike and I had to do the icing because that would not be too fun to clean up so the kids were fine with that as long as Bryce could eat everyother piece of candy he was good. They turned out too cute but what do you do with them after Christmas? I dont want to throw all there hard work out the drain. Anyways it was a fun day.

Look how cute their houses turned out!!

Such a fun day!!

The wonderful diaper cake and the food display!! Yummy can we do that again?..jk

The week before Thanksgiving I had a wonderful baby shower thrown for my by my good friends Melissa, Jans, and Savannah. The day was sooo much fun and I really appreciate everyone that came and supported my little future miracle. I cant wait to see all the cute outfits and blankets on sweet little Lincoln in the very near future. Jana did such an amazing job on the diaper cake and I can tell it took soo long to get it together because taking that cake apart was torture..haha. Thank you girls for all the hard work.
