"Did you know your fridge is on wrong?????"

So its been an interesting two weeks since Colton's birth. Kevan and I are adjusting well to the new routine. Well, I should say that Kevan is adjusting well to the new early evening routine of, "Lindsay, Colton needs a new diaper..."

I think that Kevan is scared that he is going to catch something if he changes too many diapers. Its scary stuff in his mind. He will soon learn that diapers aren't contagious.. or... he could be learning the fine art of couch sleeping ;-)

Colton has put himself on the schedule of wanting to eat every 2 hours. I told my mom this morning that he is just like a 14 year old boy at this point, obsessed with the boobs.

We had a rough start with his weight and had to go to the Pediatrician every other day for weight checks until the little stinker decided to put on some weight. Thank goodness that's over.


So we had many visitors while Colton was in his first week. I think that everyone was scared to leave us alone with a child because seriously, again, who thought it was a good idea to let us have a kid??? :-)

My mom was here for the first week and did a great job of NOT rearranging the house. It was so special to get to spend that time with her. She had a really hard time with our fridge though, and we heard many, many, many times throughout her visit that our fridge door was on wrong and we should let her switch it... I swear.

After my Mom left, my sister came to town with my darling niece. Don't you know that one of the first things out of my sisters mouth was that the fridge door was on wrong... Its very scary to see how much my sister is like my mother. Its like seeing into the future and knowing my own destiny (lord help us ;-) )

Its been really nice to have the house to just the 3, well 4 counting Jarro, of us. I am loving this whole family deal. Its the best thing that I think that I have ever done...

Kevan looked at the picture of Colton having Tummy Time and was like, "Oh my goodness, he looks just like me!!! " Duh!!!

Alright, I know that I have been really bad with keeping up posting here with picture of the little man, but I promise that I will be more faithful. Hope that everyone out there is doing well!! Talk to you soon!!

The Coronation has occured!!!

7 Pounds 9 Ounces
20 Inches

HOLY MOLY... Did you catch the stats on that one??

So Its official, the King has arrived. So we went to our Dr appointment last Tuesday and my Dr (who I would personally like to Canonize at this point (-: ) decided to go ahead and induce me because my Blood Pressure had gone up and I was in misery with the Puppps. We set the appointment and I have to admit, it was a little weird to "schedule" our Son's arrival...

We showed up at the hospital at 4 p.m. on Thursday and they started the induction. Well after 26 hours of labor and only 1 centemeter of progress, we all decided that a C-Section was the way to go. I have to admit, that was one of the scariest hours of my life. Not only was I dealing with the fact that I was about to become a mother but I was also about to go through major surgery. Awake. I was so happy that Kevan as going to be there to hold my hand through it. Suprisingly the epidural really wasn't bad. The scary part was feeling the pressure of them moving around in my belly and waiting for Kevan to come into the room. Everytime I have watched a birth on tv and see the new mom cry when she hears the baby cry, I always think to myself, "What a pathetic sap!!" Well it's official, I am a pathetic sap. As soon as I heard his little cries, the tears were streaming down my face uncontrollably. Kevan and I just stared at each other throughout the surgery and it was so amazing to watch his facial expressions. Kevan stood up and got some great pictures of Colton being pulled from my belly and just after. Kevan has now seen more of me than he ever thought he would or wanted to.

Looking at this little man that we have created, I am amazed on many different levels; This is our son... Who thought it was a good idea to let us be parents??!!??
