Happy Birthday!

My niece, Special K had her first birthday party this past weekend. Just look at how cute she is! We had a great time at her birthday party as did the kids. SK is already signing to her mama thanks to Baby Signing Time Videos. I love to watch her sign, it's so sweet!

Enjoying the first couple tastes of her cake. I'm SURE she did not sleep that night due to all the sugar! LOL

She loved the feeling between her little fingers. She worked at it until it was tiny little piece.

The aftermath! ;)

Bebo loved these glasses. He is one silly little boy!

Twink enjoying her juice and trying not to get wet!

See what I mean when I say she was trying not to get wet! LOL This is Spitfire who LOVES the water.

Umm, yeah this was my idea! hehe Poor Jewel went swimming.

Babies!

Over the weekend we went to visit my sister and my niece. Look how much she has grown! Is she just not the happiest baby from just getting her nap cut in half. Her mommy woke her up way too early so we could see her. Not to mention take a couple of cute pictures. I'm thinking she is going to have red hair like her mom and hazel eyes (a mix of mom and dad). They could still turn brown but we will see.



After we visited with my sister we went over to my IL's to visit. My SIL and BIL were in town and we were going to meet the newest family member. He is the sweetest little guy. Twink was very interested in watching him lay on the ground. She would not touch him but she loved to look at him. She found it interesting when he had his diaper changed.


So you know your past the baby stage when all you really care to do is hold them and have no longing to have one of your own! That's me! :) I'm even past the toddler stage. LOL

Oh and go check out Bebos blog for an update! ;)

She's Here!

After years of infertility, over 24 hrs of labor and a c-section Special K arrived June 21st (Father's Day!) weighing 9lbs 8oz and 21inches long! My niece is here!

My sister went into early labor Friday and was able to stick it out at home until 10:30pm. She called me to let me know that she and her husband were heading up to the hospital. I waited about an hour and headed up. She was only dilated 2cm and was the story until till about 4pm the next day. The baby was positioned wrong (was head down but facing the wrong direction) and causing major back labor. She was able to receive an epidural at 2cm and they started pitocin even though she was having regular contractions. They wanted them stronger and closer together. About 8pm I decided I was going to go home as we thought it was going to be awhile. I was not home 5 minutes and received a phone call telling me she was 10cm. I decided I was going to stay home as I had a terrible migraine. Turns out she ended up trying to push for 45 minutes and then they decided to do a c-section. She said things (meaning she) got ugly! LOL She ended up in her room around 3:30am. I know she is tried and sore. Both are doing very well.

I'll tell you one thing, this baby is a chunker! She has some major rolls. LOL I think she looks a lot like Spitfire when she was a baby. I must tell you that Spitfire looked just like my sister when my sister was a baby. Oh I could just nibble on those cheeks!
