Two Days Left of being a Trio

First I really want to start out by sharing that Chad and I celebrated our third Wedding Anniversary this week.  We had a wonderful day and loved reminiscing on all that we've accomplished together in the few years we have been a married couple.  It still takes my breath away when I think back to the day I met Chad when I was just a baby (14 years old).  God is so good to have brought us to the place we are now!

One of my favorite pictures ever! Love that my man cried like a baby as I walked down the aisle on that beautiful July day at the Ritz overlooking the ocean... so perfect!


Enough of that sentiment. Chad, Kai and I are going to be welcoming our Angel on July 24.  That's in just two days!  Woo hoo! We are getting so anxious to meet our little guy.  Things are all set up for him, we just need him in our arms and we are good to go! 

A few things that our on our hearts that we would really appreciate prayer for:
  *The surgery itself
  *The recovery- I am more worried about the recovery then anything else.  Last time around things were really rough for me.  I am confident that things will be much smoother this time and that I'll be feeling like my old self ASAP.  Having an abdominal incision and a toddler who loves to cuddle and be held stresses me out a little.  I am going to miss holding him and squeezing him for a few weeks. 
  *Our families adjustment-  Our routine is going to change.  We are so used to being with Kai, he has only spent 2 nights away from us ever!  My parents will be staying here for the 4 nights we'll be in the hospital and they are more then capable.  Kai loves them so much and is so comfortable around them.  It still bums me out that we'll be away from our home for 4 nights!  We are praying my doctor gives us the green light to come home a day early. 

More then anything we are filled with SO much gratitude to God for blessing us with another baby.  We are grateful that this pregnancy has been healthy for me and that the doctors have taken wonderful care of me.  We just can not wait to see what our baby boy looks like, how big he is, how much hair he'll have (the doctor told me last week she couldn't see much hair on the ultrasound, looks like he might be a bald baby), what his personality is going to be etc.  I am so happy Kai is going to have a playmate for life who will be so close in age to him.  So many good memories to come!

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts! Tues.around 430 p.m. I'll be "going under the knife" and would appreciate the prayers!

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
