One Month

Kapri is already a month

How come the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy would not end,

and the first 5 weeks of her life has flown by.

At her 2 week appointment

she weighed 7 pounds 11 oz

and was 21 inches tall

We also took cutler in for a check up 

He received some of his first immunizations

and was paralyzed for 2 days.

He really did not think he could walk.

Poor little guy

Some funny things he has said the last few weeks...

While I was nursing Kapri, he ran in yelling 

"KAPRI, STOP BITING MOM'S BUTTS"

While trying to get him to go poop on the toilet

"My bum is broken, I need new batteries"

I feel so blessed to have healthy kids!

Bear Lake

Last weekend we went up to Bear Lake.

Jon and I have never been there,

We had a blast,

and so did the kids.

We mostly just relaxed and hung out at the beach

Cutler and Jon built a huge Sand castle

Finished product...

{cutler will not admit it, but he is exhausted in this photo}

Cutlers favorite thing to do was throw sand. 

he did that for HOURS

Would you like some apple with that sand??

We stayed at a nice little place across from Ideal Beach

we could see the lake from where we were staying.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL

It was nice to get out of the heat {105 degrees}

and into some cooler weather {85 degrees}

Hopefully we can make this a yearly tradition!

24th of July

For the 24th We did fireworks

Cutler has a love/hate relationship with fireworks.

He loves the thought of them...

{next time you see him, ask him what noise a firework makes} 

But they scare him to death........

{he ran through the garage, into his room & pulled up the blinds and 

was much happier watching the from there}

Wanting to be inside...

The fireworks were not that loud, He plugs his ears when he is scared

Kapri hung out with Grandma susie inside. While we had some fun outside

I'm a big boy now

Thanks to Grandma Susie

Cutler is going potty on the toilet.

YAY!

He earned all his tools in one day!

We are on day 3 of no accidents. Seems too good to be true.

Little lady is doing good.

 We were done with the Billie light on monday.

Hated that thing!

she sleeps good, and is a little angel except when I try to take her pictures... she better get used to it right :)

It's good to be home

We're home!

I could not have asked for a better labor and delivery

Everything went so smoothly

We were called into the Hospital at 11:15. I thought it was going to be a long day.

They broke my water around 12:30. Contractions were too strong for me to handle by 3:30, so they called the anesthesiologist and I got my epidural. I was so excited when I could still feel my legs, and could move my toes! When I had Cutler, I could not move at all.

At 6:00 I had progressed to a 6. Jon decided he was going to take Cutler for a walk around the hospital.

 He asked before he left... "your not going to have a baby within the next hour are you?" 

I was planning on the baby being there around 9:00

at 6:15 my epidural was starting to wear off, and the pressure was increasing. 

I called my nurse, she checked me, I was completely dilated and ready to push.

We called Jon and told him to hurry back.

The doctor came in, I pushed twice, and then little Kapri was born.

My dad and emily had just gotten into town, and made it Just in time!

We were able to come home Sunday evening.

Kapri has jaundice so she has to be on a bilirubin light 24 hours a day

Cutler is in LOVE. He wants to kiss and hold her ALL the time. 

He is the best big brother

He was holding her yesterday, and he said "Mom, Kapri has a flashlight on"

he also feels bad for her bellybutton. "Mom, Kapri's bellybutton is owie"

Yesterday we took her in to check her bilirubin count, and it had not gone down, I will be going in tomorrow again to get it checked. Hopefully it goes down, so she does not have to stay at the hospital.
