Look at that big boy!

Our new bundle of Joy!

I am sorry it has taken me forever to post anything. It has started to settle down a bit here at the homestead so I felt like I could post something.
Ethan Elbert John was born on February 5th at 2:40 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz. which was exactly what Preston weighed! I thought that was amazing since I had never heard of that before. My labor and delivery was like night and day compared to Preston's. He is my easy baby so far, which is just what I needed and prayed for. He sleeps really good and eats really good. I feel so blessed to have him here and healthy. All I need to do now is post pics of him.... so keep checking back!

Still here and no baby

Well, I have tried pretty much everything I can think of to start my labor, except for jumping on a trampoline and running up a flight of stairs. I did go on a 45 minute walk this morning and that included a big hill, and I did drink some castor oil mixed in with a strawberry frosty, I couldn't taste the oil thank goodness! I think this baby is just comfy and cozy and doesn't want to budge. Preston came on his due date and I think this baby has a great chance of doing the same. Oh well, the 4th is only 4 days away. I guess I can handle that, as long as it is only 4 more days.

Here are some random pics of our Christmas vacation I wanted to post

I am huge I know! I think I am 35 or 36 weeks here.

We got a portable potty for Christmas from Joel's parents. Gross huh!?

Cutie patootie! This is probably one of the only times I have got him to smile at the camera!
