A few pics

I fell asleep on the couch with Sissy yesterday and I guess I got whats coming to me. I always take pix of Jordan when he's sleeping.

And of course Pj needed to get in on the action so he could see himself .
We went for a walk and I put this hate on Paisley to cover her head. I took her out of the carrier and put her int he craddle. It was too cute I had to take a pic.

Ok not alot has been going on this past week. Jordan has one more week of work till he FINALLY gets vacation! Then we plan on going ot the zoo. We've been trying to get the girl use to sleeping at night. It works about every other night! I just have to keep reminding myself she will sleep thru the night eventually. Not sure when that is but at least for the most part she is starting to go to sleep after feeding her at night. So not as many all night parties. She is also starting to be more awake during the day so that is pretty nice to. She's got some pretty eyes.

Just one more for the boy!

Grandma let him play with Jakes sun glasses. He thought they were WAY cool. He just didn't want to wear them for more than one second.
Despite all my efferts.

We didn't get many good pics but at least we got some right?

Three Weeks Old!

8/25/09

and just seems to be getting cuter everyday.
Even though she's getting worse at sleeping.

I can't believe its been three weeks already. I was thinking the other day at how much they change in just a year. She won't even look close to this on her first birthday. Probably not even in a few months. So Im going to try and take a pic of her every tuesday just to see if we can see the changes.

The Boy Got Chalked!

Sorry these pix aren't very big. I had to download them to my photo bucket account cause I downloaded them to my computer. Anyway. We visited Grandma and Granpa Wilson and Pj Didn't like riding the horse much.

He always throws things just out of his reach and then cries cause he wants it. This time it was that football. Which he LOVED!

He got into the chalk and so my dad (grandpa) decided to write on his face with it.

And here he is at dinner not caring at all that he has chalk all over his face. He did care later when my mom gave him a bath! For some reason he HATES baths now.

Night Owl!

He ahd the cutest little chocolate ice cream mustache I have ever seen. Unfortunately we couldn't get him to hold still long enough to get a good pic. So this one will have to do. He's still a ltitle cutie.
I'd like to introduce you to our night owl!

This of course was in the afternoon. The night owl has to sleep some time. To bad I have the boy trained to sleep at night or we would just switch our hrs around to accomadate(sp?) her. At this point it just seems like the easier option. I just keep reminding myself, she will sleep at night some time in her life just not right now. And really most nights she isn't bad at all. Like last night. She slept from 11:30pm to like 3am. Then from 4am or so till 6:50am. I had Jordan take over at like 3:30am cause I was a bit naseaus and needed a little extra sleep.

This kid is getting so cute. He now lets us know when he is ready for a nap. He carry's his blankie down stair with him. Oh and his monkey too. When he is ready for his nap he gathers his bed time things and carry's them up to his room. Its the cutest thing ever.

However, we have run into a little speed bump at bed time at night. He cries, and cries and cries. Till we go get him out of his room. Tonight he came into bed with me cause Jordan was feeding the bottomless pit (Sissy). Layed right down and went to sleep. It was amazing! And then when we put him to bed he was ok with that. I think he just likes the attention he gets from mom and dad. Its funny though cause he never really liked our bed. He always wanted down and would cry when ever we put him on it. Now he LOVES it!

Now the girl. She just teases me. She acts like she's going to go to sleep and I have hope for like .5 sec and then I look back at her again and her eyes are wide open. Im NOT looking forward to going back to work if she is still doing this then! I've got one month to help her at least realize night time is for sleep. Cause I really don't mind getting up with her and feeding her or changing her diaper. But these late night parties (just staying awake and wanting a little attention) they are killers!

Ok well it looks like she may be going to sleep again. Lets hope Im lucky enough for that. Hope you all have a wonderful night/ morning.

Hormones?

Or is it the lack of hormones that make me cry over everything. Hehehe! Pj has been a bit whiney lately. And really I can't blame him. He doesn't get near the attention he use to get. He has to wait to eat if Paisley started eating first. His mommy can't pick him up at all. So that means we don't go outside as much, cause well I usually have to drag him inside when its time to go in. Not to mention he runs off every other second. He cried for what seemed like forever tonight and it totally broke my heart. We finally took him outside and he got to see his best friend Peter and was sooooo happy! Probably the happiest I've seen him all day long.

He sure does love his sister though. No matter how jealous he is of her. He gives her loves and LOVES to tickle her feet! Its the cutest thing ever. Oh and I can't keep him away from her when she is on the floor. Thankfully we have that cradle or Im afraid he would love her to death.
Ya its pretty hard getting pix of the two of them together. Pj just won't hold still.

And so we get blurry pix!

and he still loves the camera.

Its a busy week this week. I have a dr appt tomorrow (thankfully Sara is going to watch Pj) then I have an appt with the lactation consultant at one. (thankfully the neighbor is home and willing to listen for Pj so he can take his nap, plus I would never want to take him to that appt) Then thursday Pj and Paisley have dr appts. 18month and 2 weeks. Can you believe its been 2 weeks already. Sissy's cord finally fell off. Thankfully, Pjs took much longer than that. So tomorrow she gets a real bath. Well one in a little pink tub anyway. Hurray I HATE sponge baths. I can never get the desitine off that way. Well Sissy is finally falling asleep and I need to get some rest before she gets up again.

Oh ya she likes tummy time WAY better than Pj ever did. She just falls right asleep. Although I didn't start tummy time with Pj till he was a bit older. (first time mom didn't realize you were suppose to do that)

Just doing some comparing!

So I was wondering how much Parker and Paisley look alike. I mean when Pj was a baby, cause I know they don't look anything alike right now.

So what do you think. They were both about the same age in these pix.

I think they look alot alike. Sissy has more hair, but they have alot of similar features. Their ears are different shape. But they have the smae nose.

Family Time!

My boys and My girl!

Pj was being VERY whiney tonight. He wanted to be held by whoever had Paisely. Daddy was actually nice enough to hold them both.
Pj didn't actually want anything to do with Sissy at this point. He just wanted our attention. He is however very affectionate toward her. He gives her loves all the time. Although we have to watch very closely cause he often lays his head on her a little to hard. His FAVORITE thing to do is to tickle her feet. And he thinks it hilarious when Mommy gives her kisses when she is hungry cause she kisses back. Mommy like it too, Daddy just thinks its a bit mean.

I tried to get a pic of the two of them. Pj wasn't very cooperative. And Sissy was a bit up set about it too.

So for some reason I put them in the same color I think this is the second time I've done that.

I LOVE this shirt on pj cause it really brings out his blue eyes.

Today went alot better than yesterday!

And one of our little princess.

Happenings!

My mom came up to help out on monday. She brought Jake up with her. He loved Paisley and playing with Pj. He kinda struggled with Pj being so small and not understanding how to play very well. Mom helped me get the house cleaned and ready for Jordans bday party that night. I LOVE and appriciate all the help she has given me lately. I really do need it. They we swimming with Sara and Constance after and stayed the night at Sara's.

Jordans bday party was a blast. I unfortunately didn't take any pix. I was a bit busy getting all the food and what not put together. Plus feeding sissy. (Ya we've started calling her sissy, its easier for Pj to say.) Alot of Jordans family came over and we had a full house. I made Jordans cake and it actually turned out pretty good. You all should come over and visit and I'll feed ya some! Jordan got a binder from me and the kids (yep its still weird to say kids) It was mostly utah. We put pj's and paisley's hand prints and foot prints on the folders on the inside. That was fun! OH and Pj got to color the wrapping paper. He LOVED that!

Jordan has been working alot lately and so its just been me and Pj and Paisley. I guess it will be like this for a couple of weeks. So if any of you want to come visit please do. Nap time is at noon every day so if you want to come then plan on watching Paisley. Hehehe just kidding.

Paisley is doing great. Not sleeping as well as she did the first night or two. She seems to think that is awake time until like midnight now. Not sure why that is. But then she sleeps for three hrs stretchs after that. Speaking of which its time for her to eat. Enjoy the only pic I have sorry Im not so good with that lately. Maybe we will do that later today.

Happy 23rd Bday Jordan!

Happy Birthday to the best husband and father!

Today is Jordans bday, so be sure to wish him a happy day!
Hehehehe hey Jordan this one shows your curls beard hair. I LOVE it!

I love watching you with both our kids (wow thats weird for me to say, "both")

I laughed so hard when I downloaded these this morning.

OH and thank you so much for getting up with Paisley a few min before your bday officially started. She loved spending those first few minutes with you on your bday.

Im not going to write all that mushy stuff that you already know. I just wanted you to know you are loved and we can't wait for you to get off work and we can eat your cake!

We LOVE you!

Paisley Rae Nelson

Well we made it home from the hospital. I am posting this early in the morning cause my daughter is amazing. She let me sleep for three hrs and then wanted some food. She has been awake and just laying on the ground ever since. And since I am awake now I might as well update you on our little adventures.

As you all know we had a csection scheduled for Aug 6th at 7:15am! Well I guess she didn't like that date and time so she made her appearance early. My water broke at 2:30am on tuesday Aug 4th! Or did it? That was the debate that was running thru my mind. And then it was "should I wake up Jordan?" Well I didn't have to wake him up, cause I started shaking at the thought we could be having our baby early and he asked me what was wrong. He was nice enough to make a phone call to his brother and his wife to come watch Pj. (thank you lisa and derek)

We weren't in the hospital long before we found out my water actually HAD broke! And that we weren't leaving the hospital that day. We then had a decision to make. Try for a VBAC or go for the csection? After a little debate and a convo with my mother we decided for the csection. A decision I will never regret making. By the time we were headed back to be prepped for the csection I could barely even feel any contractions.

I must say I didn't really like getting the spinal. It was a bit more painful than I remember the epidural. However it was VERY effective and I actually got to be awake for her birth. I won't go into all the goury(sp?) details. Like how SICK I was for a few hrs after. She was born at 7:04am Aug 4th. 7lbs and 20in long! Just 7oz smaller than her older brother was.

Jordan got to go snuggle and play with Paisley while they stitched me up. To be honest I tried to sleep and relax while Dr Young talked to whoever was in there about the history of csections.

I didn't get to hold Paisley for a while after getting to our room. (Those are goury details, just ask Jordan and any one else that was in the room at the time) And she cried quite a bit til I was able to feed her. She hasn't cried much since. Its such a wonderful, amazing feeling to hold your child in your arms for the first time. Just to have it cut short by a bought of throwing up. hehehe I would say she looks alot like me when I was a baby. Only time will tell what she will look like. She does look alot like Pj when he was first born too though. And we ALL know who he looks like now!

It really SUCKED the next day to find out Jordan had Hand, Foot and Mouth desease. I think thats what its called and I really don't know or understand what it was. All I know is he wasn't allowed back into the hospital and it REALLY sucked for all of us. Thankfully I have a wonderful sister who came to visit EVERY day. And a great sister in law who brought me all the stuff Jordan was going too. (stuff that didn't get packed cause well I was suppose to have 2 more days to get that done. Yes Im a procratinator (sp?)) Oh and a wonderful mother who I don't know what I would do with out her. She has done so much for us it would take all night to list it all. Thankfully Jordan was just a phone call away and I could talk to him that way. I missed him sooo much and am so glad I get to see him now.

So after three long days in the hospital we are finally home. My mom came to pick us up this afternoon. I hadn't seen Pj in a couple days so of course I cried when I saw him. He looked like he grew a couple inchs. And he had a really cute new outfit on. I came home to a nice clean house. (thank you sooo much jordan, and I think my mom did some too) We just relaxed until Jordan got home from work. I wanted to cry when he got home too, but we had a few visitors so I held my tears.

Paisley is a really great baby she doesn't cry much at all, and well now that I've said it Im sure she will prove me wrong. She actually has been very content while I sit here and update all my internet stuff. And hopefully when Im done she will fall right to sleep.

Thank you to all that came and visited in the hospital and has helped us out. And a HUGE thank you to my mom. How drove up here at 4am to see the birth, then took my crazy toddler for three days and then drove back up here to pick us up from the hospital. Who has helped out in so many other ways! You really are great. We can't wait to see you and Jake on monday. OH and drive safely!

Thank you to Sara who's taken a TON of pix, visited me when im bored. Brought me food, and kept everyone updated.

Thank you Kara for bringing me all the stuff and for the flowers.

Thank you Derek and Lisa for getting up so early in the morning to watch Pj for us.

Thank you to everyone else who visited, and to all those who will visit.

Paisley is asleep now so I think I should be too.
