2 week 1 day

We had August's appt yesterday. He weighed in at 8lbs 1oz. At 2 weeks they are suppose to be at their birth weight. He's only 9 oz away...no biggie, right? The pediatrician wasn't too concerned but we do have a weigh-in again next week. He said he'd be worried then if he isn't up to his birth weight. I'm slightly stressed but not too worried. Jonah didn't get back to his birth weight for a month. Of course, he was tongue-tied and had thrush so I'm pretty sure I really was starving him.

And I had my 2 week check-up. Apparently, the nurse didn't do the tape right. WARNING: this is gross so don't read further if you don't want to hear my health woes. So she, the nurse, taped not just the incision but like folded the skin over it. Anyways, I was starting to get worried that my incision was infected because it was getting red and smelled like death. And the nurse had told me I couldn't take the tape off but could only trim it if it was starting to peel. Dr. said I was suppose to take it off after 4 days. Sheesh. Anyways, I smell much better now and it isn't infected simply irritated because it was taped weird.

Saturday School part two

So, I had to go to school to do this thing called Innovation Bootcamp. Basically it's a workshop to help people work through a creative process. At one point, we went around campus taking pictures of things that were the result of someone "fixing" something. Someone left a trashbag taped to their seat to put on whenever there was rain, and someone put their helmet on their lock. So my group said, "you know this is something we could design something for. We could make something that lets people protect their helmet and keep their seat dry". So we came up with the "Saddle Cap". It was basically a shower cap you put on your bike seat with your helmet inside, and sinch it down. It was pretty sweet.

Anyway, I got Windows 7 on my laptop, and they've got some sweet features on the windows movie maker. You can pull in a video file, save it, and get it uploaded to Youtube in one full swoop. So, here's a video from a few months ago when we went camping.

Be warned, this film is ACTION PACKED

Saturday School

Jordan has school today. I miss him.

dressing up and dressing down and dreaming

We got an unexpected package in the mail. Jonah LOVED it. He wanted to try it on immediately.We've never had costumes before so I was kind of surprised by his instant reaction. Apparently, he's been deprived and I didn't even know it.Lately, Nolan has enjoyed dressing down. he always wants to be naked. Kind of drives me nuts. Anyways, here he is dressing down and upside down. ha.
And August fell asleep in Dad's arms tonight. He reminded me of my momma. She falls asleep in random places with her mouth hanging open. ha.
And I don't know who he looks like. Sometimes he looks like Jonah and other times like Nolan...I guess they must all look alike. However, I think that he has the lightest hair of all of them so I'm hoping for a blond/green-eyed boy.

And just so you know I'm so sick of being at home. I've been to 3 places in the past 12 days. Hospital, home and doctor's office. Oh wait, I went to Lizzie's new pad wed night. We walked since it is two blocks away. And I was SO tired afterward. Apparently, being chopped open takes a lot out of you...combined with little sleep. I must say I'm enjoying the baby stage more with August than with the other boys though and I think its because I'm not as stressed. Which is nuts because I'm pretty sure I'm way more tired and sleeplacking with him than with the others. Anyways, I'm babbling. the end.

Baby On the Bed

November 1

I just realized I was due today. How weird is that?

Mama I'm Coming Hommmmmmmmme...

Proud Daddy in the hospital.

I love how c-section babies don't have cone heads. In fact, this kid has the perfect head.

Baby in crib. This kid is the best sleeper we've had so far, probably because he eats ALL THE TIME.

Again, quite the sleeper.

I just wanted to put this one to remember what it was like outside when A was born. We had one day this past week with some snow flurries.

J getting to hold his brother for the first time. Notice the sanitizer? Yea, we use that a lot.

Do you see that great look on his face? Awesome. So, we didn't let anyone see Amelia or the baby in the hospital. Our whole reason for this was that the boys wouldn't get to see A until he came home. That was a really big deal to us. When we got home, and walked in the door, J and N came up and just started laughing and giggling with excitement at seeing their mom and this new baby. It was one of the best feelings ever, and totally worth not letting anyone see him but his little brothers first. (Uncle D and M got to take a peek, and they left right afterwards. Thanks D-DOG!)

Can you guess what this kid is doing here?

This is our after picture. More later!

Trunk or treat night 1

More vids

Just because I can...

Here's another youtube video. Windows 7 has the ability to publish videos to youtube, and this is one I uploaded the other day.
