babies

i know I (we) say we are done (for my personal reasons) but seeing all these cute ones makes me want another one.... the odd thing is mine is 4 1/2 weeks old. Am I nuts? Is this the baby blues? I know its hormonal and changes day to day & minute by minute.... but a baby.... how come they cant just stay babies. i know i know i know but I still want another... maybe bc I know we (I) are done and its a sad thing (time) in my life. especially since I wanted 11 kids to start off with now I'm down to 2... ***sad sigh***

Did You Know...

Cheri- This is for you, Don and Charlie Boy! :)

I just have to post this. Its really nasty but for some reason I am laughing... I thought my nephew would just LOVE this bit of info, along with my Bro-IL (His Dad). 

So go here and read this- its pretty funny- read about the fish with the animal tongue! 

The BlogFish Blog is actually quite interesting. You can learn a lot about the ocean and other fish. Enjoy!!! 

I am too interesting

The other night, I was posting an emotional post the other night (haven't finished it yet). And I typed and typed my heart out. And here and there would get a little teary-eye but nothing bad. So as I am typing, he looks at me and says, "WOW! STILL BLOGGING. Thats all you ever do." Yep- its one of my one vises. (ha ha ha) and a little bit goes by- still blogging my heart out and he looks at me again and says, "what are you blogging about? We aren't that interesting." I looked at him, and said, "maybe you aren't, but I am" looking at him with a frun on my face. 

I am too interesting. If not me, Ellie and Caden are!!! 

So yeah, I just had to *blog* that. 

To E- I am interesting just look at see for yourself... (although, I know he will never read this or any of my other blogs unless I tell him, too). 

Anyways, have a great Friday and weekend. 

Its gonna be a busy one in our household. Finishing the tiling on Saturday and Sunday is Friends and Family Day at church (having a pot-luck) and then a Come-and-Go shower for Mr. Caden. He is getting so cute and big. :)

MOMDOT.com

As I said before, I am not much of a cook, but for my *Boy Friend* (aka Love of my life, My E, My Hubby) I am becoming one for him. Only 3 years in the making. I stumbled on this Blog; MomDot.com and saw that they are having a contest, give away to win one of these lovely aprons. I want the Dorthy Apron in Yellow. Anyways... what a way to get me to start cooking, Throw on my hills, garder, apron & gloves and start cooking for him. Instead of stress out cooking wife, I will be a sexy stress out cooking wife. ha ha ha :) At least I will be sexy for him and not in my every day clothes (which for now my P.J's) So go to their website and enter to win an apron.

Happy Grandparents Day

Happy Grandmas and Grandpas Day to all the Gmas and Gpas out there!!!(and especially to my Grandma/GG- Love you Most of All!) May you be and feel blessed today and everyday from your Gkids and GGKids. 

9 Days Old and & almost 20 months old

WOW!!! :) I know time goes fast. Obviously, I have a 20 month old daughter. Caden is 9 days old today, and Ellie will be 20 months in 2 more days. I love my KIDS(!). Its so much fun being a family of 4. Although I am stuck at home, and getting around to small degree its so much fun. My E, My Love, has been so wonderful to me and Ellie. He is basically taking care of her while he is home. I love him!!! Then when he is at work, my Mom is coming over during the day and doing everything that I *use to do*. I am so thankful for my Mom and all the hard work she is doing for me, Ellie, Eric and Caden. She's the best. When she leaves Jeanie and Steve come over and take the evening shift until E gets home. Then on the weekends Bunkie and Renee are helping out. I've got a great family- 3 sets of parents- and I am very thankful for all of them. Thanks guys!!!

GUESS WHAT?????

I had a BOY!!!!!

I had another bleeding episode that landed me/us back in the hospital. After some talking, we decided to have a C-section. At that point it was to risky for me to have a natural birth. So off we go into the surgical room- which was very COLD. The first time I was actually cold this whole pregnancy. At 5:03pm was the first cut and by 5:08AM HE was born!!! Dr. Kells forgot that we didn't know what we were having and said calmly, "heres your boy." or something about a boy. After a few seconds of thinking what he said, I looked at Eric who has this HUGE unforgetable smile on his face and said, "Did we have a boy?!?!?" He looked at me, and said, "YES! We have our boy." One of the memories that I will cherish forever. The birth of our boy! 

He was born 4 weeks early and technically is consider a preemee. However, he isn't by looking at him. His STATS:

Name: Caden Christopher McB (same mid. name as his Daddy)

Birth Date: Aug. 28th, 2008

time: 5:08am

Weight: 6.9IBS

Length: 19 1/2 Inches

Brown Hair 

Dark newborn Blue Eyes

Olive Skin

HEalthy all the way around. So by all of that, he isn't really a pree-mee. But since he is 4 weeks early, they say he is. His lungs are great- breathed on his own. And did everything that he was suppose to do. WE all came home on Saturday late afternoon. 

Ellie loves him, but is very jealous of him. She LOVES his toes, and asks to see them all the time. She points out his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hair, arm, fingers and her favorite TOES! She will even ask to hold him. And she gives him lots of hugs and loves. But then on the flip side she would rather him not be in our arms. Since I had a C-section I am not able to pick her up and carry her. Which is very sad for her and me. Breaks my heart sometimes. But I am getting around a lot better and is learning to climb into my lap to hold her. I can move, and get up and down so I am able to play with her on the floor. Still a lot of healing to do, but I am getting by. 

I will post pictures of my new little angel and my baby angel soon. 

Love to all and thank you for all your prayers. They were much needed and appreciated. Even though he was born really early, he is doing great and I believe thats because of the prayers that were lifted up on your behalf. God had is healing hand on the both of us and everything turned out great.
