for Daddy....Our Kiddo's

The top handsome little man is ofcourse none other than Mr. Handsome Pants himself, Micaiah. And the following two pictures are of the baby. The middle one is a picture of the babys arm, hand and fingers, and the picture at the bottom is of the baby's face. The two dark spots are the eyes, and the lighter spots underneath are the nose and the mouth. You can see the baby's hands on each side of its head. The baby is about 13 oz. I thought you all might enjoy a sneek peek or an inside look. Mainly this blog is for Daddy, so that he can see what his two kiddo's look like right now. Jordan is going to be coming back home in 15 more days!! We all cant wait to be back home altogether again! In seven days I am going to be able to talk to Jordan again when they hit port in Rhode Island, and then only 5 more days after they leave port in Rhode Island, they will be back in port here !!! I hope everyone is having a good week, and thanks for checking up on us!

Micaiah's Self Portraits

My Micaiah...

Well since I had a few minutes of free time on my hands I thought I would update on life a bit and add a few more pictures of the family, but mostly of the cutest little guy in the whole world. I have lost count of his teeth but the incisors are currently coming in and are taking their grand old time..so the nights for Micaiah have not been sleeping through the night as of late. All I can do is give him some tylenol for the pain and pray for him that Jesus will take his "owies" away. His ear tubes have been doing a fantastic job so far, but they do not completely eliminate the possibilities of getting another ear infection. So far so good though. Micaiah has been getting quite the little personality lately and its so much fun waking up every day and wondering what kind of mood he will be in and what things he will do today that will make me laugh and smile. He is a beautiful blessing, and I enjoy and fall more in love with him every day.

Jordan has just recently found out that he is going to be able to go on the "Dependable" again. He is leaving March 22nd and will be gone until May 15th. He is really excited about the trip and I am really excited for him that he has the opportunity to go. While he is gone I am going to try and plan a trip up to PEI for a little visit. I am pretty sure that I will not be able to go on family vacation. The doctor has given me three possible dates so far that the C-section will be done on. August 24th, August 28th, or August 31st. But those are full term dates, he may go earlier than that depending on the size of the baby and stuff like that. I have really been missing PEI and would love to go back home again before Christmas. eventually I will get to PEI in the summer time.. I hope..

From the top of the pictures to the bottom, are a little explination.. Micaiah and Daddy sharing some Valentine M&M's..he looooves M&M's but dont worry I dont feed them to him all the time!They are emergency foods when he has a really bad accident, I am not going to mention any of them because you will think very badly about me and I will feel even worse about it than I already do. Last week was a very nice evening so Jordan made a bonfire while Micaiah lounged in one of the camping chairs. Last month we had some snow that actually stayed over night! It was so exciting!!!! Micaiah has a snowball in his little finger gloves..those things are completely pointless because as soon as we got in the car and buckled up, they were already on the floor! useless I tell you! Ahh.. I love the next one. Micaiah is watching Jack's Big Music show on his "T.V. Pillow" and enjoying some kopke. When Jordan fixes something around the house, he has usually got his tool box out and so Micaiah takes out the screw driver and starts fixing his own toys..such a guy thing! And the last one , he is enjoying some Sonic ice..thats all that was leftover from the drink. well I think for now, you are probably exhausted from reading this "supposed to be" short post, soon enough though I will have another update and I suppose I should post a belly picture soon too huh! Well that can wait for a few more days! Love you all and thanks for reading! have a super day! I am off to get Micaiah a passport this afternoon so that if we can go home for a bit we can leave the country for a week or two! : )

This is how we hang in Jersey!

"Got a comfy couch, my apple juice and not a care in the world!" Now this is the perfect example of a sitting back and relaxing position. Micaiah is quite the little comic without even trying.. Well two days ago we got up at 5:30 and headed to the surgey center where Micaiah got tubes put in his ears. The surgery itself only took like 6 minutes and then the doctor came out and said that everything went fine and that there was fluid in both ears. That explained why the past three nights prior to the surgery Micaiah and I were up for most of the night. The poor little guy was so tired and exhausted from the lack of sleep. Once we were finished at the surgery center we went home, but stopped off at starbucks so that i could have my pick me up venti white hot chocolate, and a breakfeast sandwhich. Once we got home, Micaiah , Sarah and me all went down for a nap and 4 1/2 hours later we all woke up. It was the most lovliest nap I've had in weeks! The kids went to bed at 8 that night and we followed a couple of hours later. The next morning I woke up at 9..everyone was still breathing, but very nicely asleep. They woke up a few minutes later, and we had a great day. Micaiah has to get antibiotic drops in each ear. 3 drops 3 times a day for 3 days. Thats a fun time. Last night Micaiah was awake 3 times, and that was a little disappointing, but I got a great sleep the night before and it was just what I needed. When Micaiah wakes up during the night there is no other place I would rather be than by his side, mind you i do wish I could sleep, but if me holding him or rubbing his head and back comforts him, then there is nothing in the world that I would rather do than be there for him. it is sometimes tireing but it is such a treat to hold him and make him feel better. It makes me feel good. really good. So I had a spare moment and thought I would try and stay ahead and update. We really appreciate all of the prayers so much, I think it helped me alot knowing that there is so much family support out there. I hope you all have a great week! And take a tip from Micaiah. Sit back and relax with a bottle of apple juice or whatever your drink preference is at the moment! Cheers!

My Future Little Farmer!

And here we have Micaiah playing with Johnny Deere. I think that these are adorable pictures! I know that I am not the best about taking pictures of the kids..well I mean taking the pictures isnt a problem, posting them is somehow harder than the actual photo op. Anyhow, I am vowing to do better, since the grandparents cant be here to watch him grow up..well any family for that matter actually. So I will do better. Micaiah is in a serious need of a haircut. Its as blonde as Jordans and as thick as mine! I just dont want to go and do it, because I know he is going to look so much older if I do it.

We are all doing pretty well over here. I am having alot of morning sickness to keep myself occupied with pretty much on and off all day everyday..something I never had with Micaiah, but then no two pregnancies are the same. Jordan is being as sweet as ever, and is very attentive and makes sure I am getting enough rest, and telling me to relax more. I feel like a queen when I am around him.My man is awesome! We are not planning on finding out what we are having with this little baby either. There are not very many suprises in life, and I want this to be a nice one. I have no thoughts on what I would like, except to have a healthy baby, thats all I want.

This pregnancy is a high risk one because I am on medication for my siezures, so I will be having more doctors visits with my OB doctor, my Neurologist, and with a Perinantologist (a high risk baby doctor). The lovely thing about my doctors is that I am only 10 minutes away from the hospital and the doctors offices are all in the same vicinity...its very nice that I dont have to travel for hours! Anyways..there is a little baby update..i go back in 4 weeks. So far I havent gained any weight, only lost 4 pounds over the weekend becasue I was so sick. I am not going to complain. My goal is to gain a minimal amount of weight as possible, and the two things that are really helping me out are going to the gym on a daily basis, and eating only healthy food...i am praying that this pregnancy will be healthy, and that I wouldnt gain alot of weight...anyways, I will keep you posted! Im not showing yet, so a tummy picture I didnt feel was very necessary! Thanks for checking in on me! And I will try my best to update again soon!

Way Behind!

I know its not Halloween anymore, but I have a good reason for posting so late. we lost our camera that night after we had taken the pictures and couldnt find it anywhere. I cleaned out all the nooks and cranies and simplified and turned my house upside down looking for the camera! But to no avail, so we just assumed that our camera was swiped by some trick or treater...We bough ourselves a new one and used it for a while, then one morning I woke up and it was sitting on the trunk infront of our bed...Jordan had found it on his pile of work t-shirts in the closet.. Why I never thought to look there is beyond me..nevertheless I am completely thrilled that we found the old one because the new one we have I am having issues with. It never takes good pictures! So now I figured I would post some pictures of that night. we got Micaiah dressed up as a cowboy and Sarah's mom had a bunny suit that she had sent along for Sarah, so she was a bunny with floppy ears.

My friend Nicole and I set up a "coastie" in our front yard, and it actually turned out pretty good. If it wasnt for the fact that we had to use a pillowcase for the head, It would have been perfect, but alas, we decided not to put a real head on the guy...we were fresh out. I am planning on posting some more pictures of my little cowboy and bunny from Christmas, but right now I am out of time...love you all and thanks for staying faithful!! XOXO
