And then there were four

I have composed this post in my head numerous times but usually its in the middle of the night and wouldn't make sense if I actually typed it then. During the day my attention is being demanded by at least one kidlet so that isn't an option either. BUT both boys are sleeping right now so I thought I better jump on and bust out a post :).  

Milo Zacchaeus joined our family on March 27th at 8:55pm. I was in labor for 5 hours and definitely got an epidural. By the time I started pushing the epidural had worn off on the top of my belly but from belly button down was still numb luckily. With Coop I was uber numb so feeling the contractions during pushing was a new experience. I actually liked being able to tell when to push without it being super painful. It took a day and a half for the numbness to fade from my left upper thigh so that was weird. ANYWAYS back to Milo. He was 6 lbs 11 ozs and 18 1/2 in.long. He was born tongue-tied which made nursing SUCK but the pediatrician got us into an ent (ear nose throat) dr the day we were discharged to clip it and all is well now.  

Cooper has been handling Milo much better than we expected. He just loves him a little too hard but we're working on it. 

I want to eat in peace for once so I'll post more later :)

Transformations

So...it has been almost a year since I updated. I can't believe how fast time has gone. It seems like so much has changed and yet nothing at all. In a couple weeks my baby is going to be three! This absolutely blows my mind. We'll probably not do anything spectacular but since it's on a Saturday, Jeff will be home to celebrate.

I figure I'll just give a recap of the "transformations" each of us have had.

Coop has grown into a total boy. He loves animals and cars and planes. We are surprised almost daily at the vocabulary he now has. He has gone from this:



To This:

Jeff works for AmeriCorp Vista up at Weber University. Basically he works with community partners and Weber to get volunteers to help them. Promoting awareness or something. He likes his job okay but is very excited to go back to school and get his MPA. Jeff decided to apply to three MPA programs and we are just waiting to find out which ones he got accepted to.

Now for the biggest transformation of all...



I'm 31 weeks pregnant! We actually made it past 8 weeks for once. My OB did have me take some additional medicine during the first trimester but I'm not sure if that's what did it or that it was time for another loomb or loombette (Jeff's nickname for Cooper) to come. I was going to post pictures but Jeff isn't home so I'll do it later. We decided this time that we aren't finding out the gender so everyone has to wait until April to find out.
