Long time no see

before our little boy got here my family did! yay!! just in time. i started pushing 2 hours later.

Family of 3! soon to be 4! such a long 2 1/2 days of intense contraction then finally an epidural!

Then he came!!!

Wow one year! Im going to try to add little blogs here and there to fill my blog in on the last amazing year! Starting with this adorable addition to our family Aug 16th 2010. Deklin Grady Bird. We are in love with this little sweetheart!

The labor was long... 3 days long.. 34 hours long. . but all worth it. He kept moving out of position, so i was in and out of intense labor for a while. They would give me and epidural because i need to be able to move around to get his head in the right spot. ..... more later lol.. shows how much time i have to blog.. here is one pic of all of us. the new four.(up top!) love my boys!

Deklin is here!

Deklin Grady Bird 6pounds 8ounces 18 1/2 inch long. Born 12 15 am. Such a cutie! we love him!

both the boys!

Baby Gavin Brandon Bird

Baby Deklin Grady Bird
How close do you think!? Im thinking for sure brothers.. but there own different look. i love them so much!..

funny? nope not funny!

K so really? when your prego people say the silliest things. And not just in there head. (and no its not silly, im just being nice lol) So there has been a few incidences where im liek.. "um who are you to say that to me about my body?"

I was in the grocery store, and a random guy was like. "wow how much longer do you have?" im like... 4 weeks.. he is all "oh!". Yes im huge and i know that, but thinking it yourself and hearing it from other people is totally different. I'm obviously not upset about it, but i would be lying if i didn't say i thought it was RUDE!

So then I'm at my doc app yesterday and this other random lady sitting in the hall, says "you look like your ready to blow up!" ... um excuse me. lol so i think im about done with ppl commenting on how large my tummy is. Just tell me I'm the cutest ever and be on your way. ha. thanks! :)

WE are still waiting to here if we are approved for our home. We may hear today, so hopefully!

I need to start packing before baby #2 arrives. Speeking of which... i only have 3 weeks left!! does anyone start trying to induce labor with 3 weeks left.. cuz im tempted.. very tempted. I only gained 1 pound at my app. i am thinning a lot but havn't dialated more. Looks like another week at least. I'm hangin in there! The nights are what's getting to me, ive been very noucious every time i turn over.. or try to. and my pain in my legs is increasing quite a bit actually. SO being tired doesn't sit well with me. But not much longer and I'm just taking in that gavin isn't going to be the only little man in my life anymore! Is it weird to feel so sad over that? I am very excited too but still.. Where will i put all the pictures from this baby. Gavins pics take up every inch of wall space i have! lol I'm sure i'll figure it out ;). Just is so weird having all these mixed emotions. well until next post.. wish on a star* my baby come next week and that we get the house!

contractions.

yes last night i thought was THE NIGHT! and yes im only 36 1/2 weeks. I had contractions through the whole night. But im huge.. the baby has to be ready. and according to my ultrasound due date.. im 371/2 weeks.. so maybe we will go with that. Its obviously more on target for what im feeling and everything. My emotions are picking up and im good to go if its any day now!!!! They were pretty strong ones.. so i was thinking it was going to happen, but nothing sense then. I have a doc app tomorrow and hopefully she can tell me more. I wouldn't be surprised if i dialated more though. and im not going to lie i would be very excited!

Gavins bday was so cute. Alot of work but so worth it. He is 2 now! yay for my little baby boy who is growing way to fast! He was very spoiled and u could tell he loved having friends over at our house. I loved every second of it. Wishing things would slow down already. But over all the weekend was so much fun.

stupid blogger wont let me upload the bday pics,, so they will come!

but here is one ill try to put up just for you mindy. haha in my tight tank showing my whole tumtum!

So much so fast.

So its a big month for us. A lot going on and in a short amount of time. Im overwhelmed with being excited, nervous, emotional (from the pregnancy), tired, anxcious, and uncomfortable! But above all i just can't wait to have this little baby boy out of my tummy and into my arms. Please come in 2 weeks!

Buying a house is the most annoying thing. It should be fun and exciting.. etc. but nope its not.. just stress and lots of waiting. I can't believe we are actually attempting to move while I'm over 9 months pregnant now! But the opportunity is just so crazy good we can't pass it up. I just hope everything works out.. and as it looks right now it was just all meant to be. So YAYAY! (if it works) We has to find renters for our house now and that is all falling into place.. im just really wanting everything to go through so we can move in the next couple weeks.. before baby time!

Im thinking this gap between this baby and the next is going to be a lot bigger! My body is so worn out,, but i can't stop getting stuff done.. its like I'm nesting but exhausted and my body just is doing its own thing.

Im ready to not be prego and be playing on the floor with my 2 babys. :) Its so hard not being able to give all i can to gavin. .. and to brandon. I finally have had a few nights of deep cries to let out how overwhelming everything is. It's good to cry.

This weeek i have a list of 20 things to get done before sat! can i do it? i don't know. Well i don't have a choice. Im like Brandon i need you to take friday off.. i cant do it alllllllll! ahhh. so he might be able to thank goodness. Im glad we have some family close cuz i don't know what i would do without brandon's moms help right now.

Gavins bday party is on sat. CARS theme. which is so gavin. ha such a cutie. I'm so excited for him. We kinda spoiled him this year. But how cold we not. He is the only child for only one more month!

He is now wanting to sit on the BIG POTTY! r u kidding me.. he is 10 steps ahead of me alll the time.. wants to ride a bike on his own.. go on the potty.. go to sleep on his own. He deserves a big big birthday party for how amazing he is. What a good boy we have. (and yes by saying that i know this next one is not going to be as easy! haha)

I finally got some pregnancy pictures done. THank YOu So MUch CAPri! She did such a great job. I have only seen a few but i love them so much. If your looking for a photographer she is the one to call! So here are a few that i have seen.

And almost 35 weeks now!

So sense this week has been so crazy!!! SO CRAZY! i have to blog about it. We have so much going on right now.

Im thinking that within the next two months after everything is settled im going to need a spa day. So if anyone is feeling really selfless... u can give me a spa day. haha

We have been looking at this house for quite some time now, and we finally made an offer on it! Everything is looking like it is going to work! But im not going to get to excited until we have papers signed and have the keys! cuz u just never know. We find out monday if everything is going to go through how we hoped. It a very stressful but exciting process.

Next is Gavins bday!! 2! what! so i have that to get ready for. I am really excited to throw his party this year. He will actually be able to understand most of what is going on and enjoy all the kids and gifts! so cute.

Then we have got a baby on the way.. yup so soon. almost 35 weeks now and pushing through. My body is giving in and im need it to come to an end.. yup i am. Im complaining.. Im way toooooooo tired and feeling very sick. Plus i want to see this precious little guy! His big brother is going to love it too! I can't wait to see how that works out. :)

doc app today. we will see how much more I've gained! ha

my studdly little man and this pic had to be posted!

33 1/2 wks.. so close!

This morning i sat there thinking what can i actually wear or fit in today. . besides my Pj's.. Lol. I have actually outgrown most my maternity shirts i had worn with Gavin.. which is so crazy.. i think i am just carrying lower and more out there this time. hm. Well anyway i have NO clothes! I don't like this feeling and i am looking forward to going shopping in a few months or so :) yay. . my last doc app went great. Last Tues she told me at 36 1/2 weeks we could do some thing to progress the labor! nice. I had gained 5 more pounds in too weeks, I'm weigh 141 now and still have probably 4 weeks or so to go. ( I'm telling myself 3.. but i really know it will be longer) I started having braxton hicks for the first time on the weekend.. ouch. during the a movie in the theatre.. kinda got me worried, but i remembered that .. ya it hurt allot worse than that when it was real labor. My lag cramps are picking up allot.. every night or more now. Which just reminds me the end is right around the corner. :) I got so sad the other day CuZ i realized my time with just me and Gav Gav was coming to an end. There is nothing like being a mom of one.. when u start adding kiddos, the time one on one is less and there is a lot more to do. (but i am still very excited!)

I have never been so tired in my life.. this baby is sucking every piece of energy out of me this week.. out of all the weeks this one has been the hardest by far. Ive got mood swings and cramping and nauseousness.. Im starting to feel sorry for brandon., but i feel like there is nothing i can do. Just in due time this baby will be here and we can start are family of 4! so werid.

Lots to catch up on!!!

The Zoo!

Yup.. We finally made it to the zoo!! We got up and went a couple saturdays ago. I really didn't want to miss out and not have the time before the baby came. It was so much fun! We went pretty early so there wasn't to much craziness there. He learned to say Bear among many other things. :) We will for sure have to go again!

Time for a break! I'm tired. lol

Gavin's New Bike!

Ya i know.. he can ride a bike now! Where did this come from! But he is doing it and a part of me gets so excited when these new things start happening and another just wants to cry cuz its going by so fast. We went to target and let him pick it out... daddy put it together for him and he loved it! It's a little hard on our block though cuz the road is slanted to its a little frusterating for him. Other than that he has got it down. such a stud.

Fathers Day!

My amazing hubby! Happy fathers day to him! We spent the weekend at the beach then came home for the sunday. I got him a Bonzai tree! And made him this candy gram poster wich was awesome! lol It was really fun coming up with the poem. And of course I'm eating all the candy! hahahahah Good times. :)

Pregnancy wise., .. Baby and I are both doing very good. I am really ready to be done though. I am so uncomfortable.. Can't sleep or really move right now. Lots of cramping and baby kicking as hard as he can.. what a strong little guy we are going to have soon! I am hoping for an early delivery though.. My plan is to have the baby by aug 10th! lol so we will see. But he is so big. and i can just tell me is going to be ready before my due date. I really hope im right. Gavin is handling it pretty good. He is so good for me. I just love him. He is kinda getting annoyed that my tummy is so big and we can't cuddle as much.. but not too much longer! Oh man.. i can not wait! and neither can Brandon. We are both so ready for this long emotional ride to come to and end, and very.. nervous.. excited.. all of the above. sooon soon!

Fun In The Sun!

Baby Fever and mOrE!

So i have been having BABY FEVER! Im getting very anxcious and excited for our new baby boy to get here. I'm feeling like 11 more weeks is way to long! But I just need to relax.. patients i can do.. most the time! lol This little guy in my belly is a mover.. all the time! I was sitting on the couch last night and brandon and me were watching my stomach literally shaking he was moving so fast. Brandon got kinda sick and had to stop watching haha. My lower back hasn't really eased up.. it is kinda hurting more every week. I had my OB app. yesterday and I have gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks! go baby go! :) Looks like we will have ourselves a very healthy boy. I have been having a lot of cramps which is probably from him growing, but it almost feels like braxton hicks.. maybe it is.. im not sure. Sleep is getting rough in the night.. and the potty runs are often! like really often all night. But i need to get used to waking up. Gavin is so good with his sleep schedule i'm not used to waking up at all anymore.. so its preparing me.

The list is getting done!! I have a long list in my head of what needs to be done before baby gets here, and brandon is being so awesome doing the majority of it cuz i can't. Such a good hubby.

All thats left: back yard work and finish the nursery!

I think i will survive this summer! It hasn't been as hot as normal.. lucky me. But i still cant wait for it to be over so i can meet this baby!!! It finally hitting me we will have another child with us. But not tooooo fast ;) Gavin needs his mommy time

28 1/2 Weeks!

How cute is this little boy in this picture! :) what a cute big brother already! getting big and uncomfortable but so excited to have this little guy in a couple months!

A play day with my little guy. So funny to try to take pictures of him. .. he tried not to look or smile lol but then i end up getting the cutest pictures. pictures like these ones just make my day. :)
