Lucy is an enthusiastic, sweet, and curious 2 year old! She cut her hair..again. No more scissors for her for a while! She also loves to paint, do play-doh, and color with markers and crayons. She is our little mama always helping Andy with his pacifier or singing him songs. Dressing up is an everyday activity; sometimes a princess or ballerina, other times a train conductor or doctor! And if you leave your shoes around, she'll be sure to give them a spin. She loves sweeping, doing dishes, and laundry with mommy! Sometimes she'll even nurse her babies. She isn't very interested in eating much at meal-time, but would rather graze throughout the day.</div>

Andy is the sweetest little baby. Full of smiles and wiggles; and very few cries! Mommy is in love :) He is a big guy though, and heavy to carry around for too long. But, he doesn't mind laying on the floor, sitting in his bouncy seat, or taking a drive in the car. "Life is good", it seems is Andrew's motto.</div>

Emery is almost outgrowing playing with toys in the playroom, but he'll occasionally pull some things out to play with Lucy. And she loves it! One game they like to play is puppies. Emery will takes his Lucy puppy around the house and feed her and put her to bed. Or other times they pretend that Emery is the baby and Lucy is the mommy. She loves to be in charge when he'll let her!</div>

The day before Christmas break, Emery came home sick with a stomach bug. The poor thing was not himself, and slept a lot. He also threw up a few times. But fortunately it only lasted about 24hours. And it didn't spoil Christmas!</div>

Andrew is smiling a lot these days! It just makes my heart all warm and happy to see it! And he also makes lots of coo's and sounds that make it sound like he's saying "hi" all the time. Lucy constantly says, "oh, so cute!" while she holds his hand and kisses his head. Andy is a great sleeper. During the day he'll sleep in his carseat while I bus Emery to and from school, or do errands. He is also able to fall asleep in the living room while the kids play or watch a movie. At night he sleeps a little longer now, usually only waking once to nurse around 3am. He likes to have 1 arm out of his swaddle while he sleeps. And he eats very quickly only needing about 20-25 minutes to finish then going right back to sleep. He weighs in at 14 lbs. 8 oz. and is wearing 6-9 mo. size clothes! He is growing so fast!! Andy has such a calm personality. He brings such a peaceful spirit to our home. We are so lucky to have him in our family. I can't imagine our home without him :)</div>

We started out November with a visit from Grandma Kathy. Again, it was so nice to have help with the kids. And I could get an occasional nap in the afternoon! We did fit in some shopping, which is always so fun! The kids spent most of their time with her but I did get a chance to have some time for talking with her a few nights before she left. We always have a good time chatting and catching up. The 2 weeks went by way too fast though. And we were all sad to say goodbye.</div>

Thanksgiving seemed early this year since it was on the 22nd. We decided to have a low key holiday at home this year by ourselves. We always love having Daddy home from work! Emery was a good helper getting the beans ready for the casserole. Now if we could only get him to eat it! I always seemed to need to nurse the baby at the important times for getting things cooked on time. So, Joel took over most of the cooking this year. He did awesome!! He made a homemade mac and cheese for lunch that was to die for! We had our Thanksgiving feast for dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, and apple pie and cheesecake for dessert! And then I had a bunch of dishes to clean. :) It was delicious, but it always seems like a lot of work for one meal!!</div>

Andrew is starting to become more alert. He is smiling a lot and we all like to watch for them! He is still a champ at nursing and is getting quicker too. We put him in this little seat so he can watch us as we cook or play. He always seems interested to watch Emery and Lucy. But also doesn't mind being left alone if we walk out of the room for a minute. I remember Emery as a baby could not be left alone without him crying. So, I think Andrew had a more laid back personality.</div>

The day after Thanksgiving we began getting out all our Christmas decorations. The kids were bouncing off the walls excited to pull everything out. I let them decorate the tree this year. Emery got a stool out to do the top and Lucy did the bottom. And she re-decorates it almost every day since! I have accepted the fact that it's not going to look perfect and am just enjoying not needing to constantly say, "Don't touch the tree! Put that back! Don't break that!" The ornaments are cheap and I'm sort of enjoying the asymmetrical clustering of balls here and there!</div>

Andrew is such a sweetie! He only cries if he's hungry, has a burp, or a poop coming. He eats about every 4 hours but occasionally goes a little longer at night. He's still got a full head of dark brown hair. His eyes are blue. He is growing fast and weighs 12 lbs. already! He is wearing 3-6 mo. size clothes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every time Lucy sees him she says, "A baby!!" just like it's the first time she's ever seen him. Emery loves to hold Andy's hand and anxiously waits for a smile or coo. Lucy wishes she could hold him on her shoulder just like mommy does. But, he's a little too big for that! So she practices with her baby dolls. We love our handsome, squishy little boy!</div>

After bringing Andrew home from the hospital, we had a few days before my parents Paul and Debbie arrived to help. Joel took off work and we made it through those first few days home! But, we were very excited to have some help! And the kids had so much fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa. My dad went home after a few days, but my Mom stayed until the end of the month. She was amazing! I spent most of my time nursing and napping so she took over most of the other things around the house. She took Emery to school, helped with housework and meals, and entertained the kids all day every day. I was so lucky to have her help!!</div>

Emery had his first parent teacher conference with his Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Mayfield. He is doing great and loves learning, his teacher, and making new friends. She seems like a very good teacher and I'm glad Emery likes her! Emery also turned 6 this month. We went out to dinner to Burger King and opened presents at home.</div>

One morning I was able to leave Andrew home with my mom and take Lucy to the zoo. She'd been asking for a while to go and since there was a new baby giraffe to see, we made the trip! We had to wait, and there was quite a crowd, but it was worth it! The baby was so cute and Lucy just loved seeing him. His name is Kiko. Emery's school also had a fall festival. The kids played lots of games, won candy, jumped on bouncies, and had a blast!</div>

Near the end of the month, Joel took Emery to a football game in Atlanta where BYU was playing Georgia Tech. My sister and her family also went to the game. Emery was so excited to see his cousins! It's not everyday we get to a BYU game anymore, so it was pretty special. Emery really got into it, holding up his football and cheering. The next day my sister and her family dropped by for a visit to see us and baby Andrew. They were able to attend sacrament meeting with us before heading back home to Florida.</div>

Joel took the kids trick-or-treating on Halloween. I stayed home with Andrew since it was a little cold. Emery was a racecar driver, Lucy was a lamb, and Andrew was peas in a pod! They went to a neighborhood near our church building that has sidewalks. Our neighborhood doesn't, and most of the houses don't hand out candy either. After about an hour Emery and Lucy both had filled up their buckets! There is always a bit of haggling with the candy when they get home. Emery takes out all the chocolate pieces and gives them to Joel. After the kids go to bed, Joel and I poke through and take out a few pieces for ourselves :) Parent tax. </div>

I think anyone could tell from looking at my belly that this was going to be a big baby! My doctor was concerned he was getting too big and scheduled to have me induced a little before my due date. We were up bright an early Oct 2nd to get ready to go to the hospital. We were so blessed that our dear friend came over to take care of the kids while I was in the hospital. My parents wouldn't be arriving for another week. Things started out smoothly with the Pitocin, breaking my water, and waiting for things to progress. I decided to get an epidural and was pretty comfortable while waiting. After only a few hours I was at a 10 and ready to push! My other 2 kids came easily after about a half hour of pushing, so I was surprised that after 30 min he was still a ways up. My doctor said he was face up and had stopped moving down. I kept pushing for 30 more minutes hoping he'd come down. But he didn't. They weren't sure if he was stuck because of his size or his position. If it was his size, they'd need to do a c-section. If it was his position, a vacuum could help him make it the rest of the way. So they started with the vacuum to see if he'd budge, and he slipped right out! I'm very glad that we didn't have to go for the surgery! Andrew was a whopping 9lbs 8oz and 21" long. No one was more surprised than me at how big he was! He has a full head of dark brown hair and we just love him!!</div>

The kids have been keeping things interesting around here. They took their creative juices out on my cute little ottoman while I took a shower one day. Fortunately with some of "Grandmas secret spot remover" and some elbow grease I was able to get it out.</div>

Lucy decided she was ready to potty train, so with only a few weeks until baby time we started the adventure that is potty training. She was all smiles in the beginning...but it has not been easy. It's still a work in progress.</div>

In an effort to get things done before baby's arrival, we had Emery's birthday party in September even though his birthday isn't until October. He had so much fun playing with his friends at the park and eating cupcakes! And he's excited he gets to celebrate again on his real birthday!</div>

When we arrived in Ruby Valley, the power was off. Apparently some strong rain storms knocked things out somewhere. With no fans to cool us down, we were pretty toasty! It came back on for a little while, but was off again most of the night. I think it came back on around 5am the next day. It just made me remember how thankful I am for electricity!</div>

One of Emery's favorite things to do each day was go on a motorcycle ride with Daddy. Or two or three! He also loved helping out Grandpa a bit with cutting hay. Maybe in a few years he'll learn how to do it himself!</div>

Grandma's hot tub is a fun little pool when you turn down the temperature so it's not too hot! They also enjoyed going to the larger swimming pool, even if it was a little bit cold. Emery practiced all the things he leaned from swimming lessons a few weeks ago. He is a little fish who loves the water!</div>

The much-anticipated horse ride was lots of fun! Lucy was a little nervous at first, but she's a brave girl and loved it once she got on. I think she was surprised at how big they are compared to her! Emery wanted to know when he could hold the reigns himself. I think he may need some riding lessons before we'll be allowing that!</div>

Even though there is no fast food to enjoy in Ruby Valley, we always look forward to Joel's mom's home cooking! She is a great cook and spoils us with our favorites when we visit! Some things we ate this trip: Roast and potatoes, scones, Ruby Valley tacos, hot dog roast, pork roast feast, homemade pizza, steak, and aebleskivers. Yumm!</div>

As our week in Nevada ended Joel and I were a little nervous. Not because we had another long drive home ahead of us, but because we were leaving Emery. Grandma and Emery have been talking about this for a few years- a special trip where Emery got to stay at Grandma's all by himself. I was all for it because I thought it would be a nice break for me :) and also because I knew Emery would have a great time. But as it got closer I realized how much I was going to miss him and worry about him. Emery shed a few tears before we left but has been just fine since. He'll stay for another 2 1/2 weeks before Grandma flies him home in August. I know he is in good hands and having a blast with Grandma, Grandpa, and his cousins. But I do miss him and can't wait until he is home!<br />
Our drive back home was long but not too difficult. Again, Lucy was mainly entertained by watching Elmo and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We split the trip more evenly between the 3 travel days. A few times Lucy asked "Where's Emery?" but was fine with the answer that he was still at Grandma's house. Since we've been home, I think Lucy is enjoying all the alone time with Mommy and Daddy! I was worried she'd be upset that Emery wasn't around to play with her but she's been just fine! I guess it's nice to feel like an only child every once in a while :)<br />
We were so happy to make it home safe and without any car trouble. I'm glad we had the van checked out and fixed up before we left, even though car repairs are pricey and never fun. Better before we left than stranded in the middle of the country somewhere! Until next time...</div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443772391070147587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178919281917650703.post-4593492233339446082012-07-31T12:04:00.002-07:002012-07-31T12:04:36.370-07:0029 Weeks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We stayed at my parent's house in Utah for about a week. The kids loved playing with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Paul! The mornings were so nice and mild- with much less humidity! My dad got this awesome bounce house for the kids to play with. Lots of fun!!</div>

One of my favorite things to do in Utah is eat! I love to visit my favorite restaurants that I don't have here in South Carolina! We never get to them all but we sure tried! Some of the places we went this time were Sconecutter, Letherby's, Del Taco, Panda Express, Los Hermanos, and Training Table. YUMMY!</div>

Some other things I didn't get pictures of that we did in Utah: went to the Distribution Center, eye checkup for Joel, got the seatbelt fixed in the van, visited with Joel's sister Annemarie, visited with my Aunt Diana, visited my sister Heidi and her family, and the kids played a lot with grandma and grandpa! It was an awesome week that went by all too fast. But, it was time to head out in the van again to drive 4 hours to Ruby Valley, NV to see Joel's family! So Saturday evening we loaded up and headed out. Man, that 4 hour drive seemed like a piece of cake compared to the 32 hour drive from a week earlier!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we decided to drive back west to Utah and Nevada to visit family. It felt a little crazy to drive 32 hrs each way with two kids and being 6 months pregnant myself! But, we thought we'd give it a try. As my packing list grew I wanted a way to keep some sort of organization in the trunk. I loved <a href="http://emcx3.blogspot.com/2012/06/junk-in-trunk-per-request.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> idea but couldn't find the shower caddy bags she used. So, I sewed up some of my own with some fabric and vinyl I had on hand. Thanks goodness they turned out ok, though with many flaws, because I did not have time to re-do them!</div>

I made lots of lists so I didn't forget anything, but left the packing for the day we were leaving. I hate trying to pack ahead of time and realizing you can't pack something because you need it before you leave! However, I was way over my head with doing laundry and getting everyone's things together in one day. I spend from about 9am until 5:30pm packing that van! Whew! I was already exhausted before we even pulled out of the driveway! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my biggest concerns for the trip was keeping the kids occupied so there was very little whining and screaming :) The dual DVD player proved the best investment and kept the peace most of the time. I also bought lots of snacks and treats to keep the tummies happy. I also bought a handful of new toys from the dollar store and wrapped them up for the kids to open periodically. Each kid had their own bag of toys plus a bunch of books and toys to share.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On average we stopped about every 2 hours to stretch our legs, have bathroom breaks, and change drivers. I think I may have been the most uncomfortable and need the stops the most! We drove about 6 hours the Friday night we left. Little Lucy was our crazy girl that night deciding not to fall asleep, despite the fact that we drove until 11:30pm. Emery finally nodded off around 10 but not Lucy! Luckily her late night helped her have a little nap the next day. Saturday we drove 14 hours! Sunday we drove another 14 hours. It was LONG! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amazingly we only had a few minor meltdowns. Lucy's biggest fit was over a fly trapped in the van after we'd stopped to get gas on Saturday. She kept saying "Scared!" and screaming when it got close to her. I think she must have thought it was a bee and would hurt her. Emery did great until about the last 4 hours on Sunday. He was over being in the car saying "We're NEVER going to get there!" and "I just wish we were there NOW!" Once we arrived in Utah everyone was relieved! Especially me; my feet and ankles had gotten very swollen over the 3 days of sitting in the car.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the country can be summed up in: trees, corn, brush, dirt (as you drive further west). But, we did see a few picture worthy things! A few cool bridges, the St. Louis arch, and wind mills were our favorites. </div>

8:15pm Emery and Lucy are rough housing. Emery throws Lucy onto the couch and she starts crying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8:30 Lucy is still upset and won't let anyone touch her right arm. When I tried to check it, she screams and screams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8:45 I call a friend of ours, who is a doctor, and he suggests we take
her to the ER. He calls ahead to put our name down and find out who the
on call Orthopedic doctor is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9:30 We arrive at the hospital and check in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9:40 Lucy continues to hold onto her right arm but is calm. Nurse takes us back to a room and the orthopedic doctor comes to check on Lucy. He orders up an x-ray to see if it is broken.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10:00 Lucy goes for an x-ray. Emery enjoys himself by sitting on the big bed and reading books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few minutes after Lucy comes back, she starts moving both her arms and acting normal again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10:10 I call our doctor friend and he looks at the x-rays from home. He say everything looks normal and she probably just had what's called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursemaid%27s_elbow" target="_blank">Nursemaid's Elbow</a>". When they stretched out her arm to do the x-ray, it popped back into place.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10:20 The nurse comes back to tell us the orthopedic doctor will be busy for another 15-20 minutes. We ask if we can just go since Lucy is fine now. She gets the ok from the doctor and checks us out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10:30pm Lucy is happy as can be and feeling normal again. Whew! What a night!</div>
