Happy Birthday Aden!

This is Aden's BeeBo cake. BeeBo is the baby signs bear. He is Aden's buddy. The realy bear is super expensive so I just made this sweater and gloves and we put them on a bear we had. Aden plays with him and sleeps with him. This is little Bo. The cake is a mountain with a waterfall.

Our trip to Utah

Eric all dressed up for his interview. We originally went down for this interview which is a position at Wells Fargo. Things changed and we were presented with a better best idea of a career instead of banking. We stayed with our friends Dave and Melissa. Eric was able to walk around their yard and give them some really great tips. Dave does Software Programing and Design for the church and was mentioning the possiblity for Eric. Eric already knew a bit about that and really enjoys it. Because the other interview was not a short little one on one, but a 2-4 hour group interview, we post poned it until we knew that was what we wanted. Instead we went and bought the book to get certified as a IT. So anywho we will see what happens. In the mean time we had a fun trip and if this doesn't work out he will have another opportuinity to interview with Wells Fargo. I guess we were also feeling this would be a super hard time to move with all our health problems and Eric has a lot of work lined up for his business. :)

This is Aden and Clay. They are 1 month apart. The Geddes' had to evacuate in the middle of the night the previous night do to the fire in Herriman that was blowing over the mountain behind their home. Clay was pretty tired and Aden was trying to comfort him to help him be happy. They had fun running around all morning.

Baby Carter 7 weeks and baby Aubrey 3 weeks

Baby Aubrey---it's a little blurry cause the babies didn't like being naked on a cold piano so we got what we got. :)

6 Weeks old 9 Ibs 6 ounces and 21 inches

Carter is such a wonderful little piece of heaven. We sure love him! Aden has been really growing up and is learning how he can help. He likes to give about 1 pat to burp him, he will run to get things for Mom and Dad, he likes to hold his bottle, he like to force his pacifier in his mouth, he loves to steal his pacifier and put it in his own mouth and more. If only I could feel better it would be a little more picture perfect. I am pretty sure Carter is sensitive to cows milk like Aden was at this age and have caught it early, due to a number of different reasons for the health of Carter and our family he is on formula and now on soy. It seems to be really helping and he is a little peaceful sweet baby when he has the right food in him. So we are hangin in there and tryin hard to enjoy this crazy time of life.

Baby Blessing

We had Carter's baby blessing Sunday September 5th in Rexburg Idaho at my parents ward. This is most of the family that was able to attend to support us. My Mom and Dad hosted a great lunchin and we also celbrated Aden's Birthday. I will post pictures with his real birthday pics later this month.

Yeah! Carter and I are feeling so much better. Thank you for all your love and prayers! Carter is actually sleeping!! That means that I can spend time with Aden and today I am making Aden's birthday cake and Carter's blessing cake. So fun pick up my hobby again;)

1 month old- Born at 5 Ibs 15 oz. now passing 9 pounds and what cute little cheeks!

Well I will keep this short because it is 12:30 am and frankly I want to go to bed. Life with a family of 4 has been pretty challenging. Two weeks ago I woke up with terrible pain in my breast and having Carter nurse on it was unbearable. I called the doctor and was prescribed antibiotics for a breast infection. I started feeling better but a few days later when it should have been gone I still ached. So then he saw Carter who had a terrible bum rash that wouldn't go away and a yeast infection. Since I had Strep B when Carter was born I had to be on antibiotics. They usually cause thrush with women which is a yeast infection in the breast. So I was treated for that. It was supose to be gone in 3 days. Yet I still ached, and even worse now in both breasts. The doctor just said heat packs and sent me on my way.

Well Carter has been really gassy/colicky and his feedings are short and interrupted by burping for a half hour or so and he couldn't sleep more then 10 minuets because his stomach would hurt and wake him. So that equals very little sleep for Mom and So I couldn't do much but feed, burp and change his diapers all day and night. Gratefully Eric has been able to take time off and give Aden the attention he needs and make dinner and help with whatever.

Well come to find out(through prayers and internet research) now 2 weeks later I have something called hyperlactation syndrome. It means I produce too much milk. This causes my children to fill up on the formilk which is mostly water. This gives them gas and makes them hungry all the time. Aden had this same problem I just didn't know what to do about it. It's kind of like drinking a few glasses of water before dinner and then realizing you are full but yet you still feel hungry. I also have Thrush which is the yeast infection in the breast but it didn't go away with the medicine that the doctor proscribed and will be more complicated to get rid of but hopefully successful.

So for now I am pumping out my formilk before each feeding and thanks to my cousin RayLyn (an RN and lactation consultant)I have gained a better understanding of helping Carter be more successful nursing. Today has been day 1 but Carter took a few long and peaceful naps in his own bed today. He has been so calm and happy and satisfied. He is finally able to be full and feel full. Tonight he smiled a lot and I got a few of them on camera.

I feel so blessed. I am so grateful for people who answer my prayers. ;) I am also grateful for the Lord telling them how to answer my prayers.

We are looking forward to Carter's baby blessing in Rexburg this weekend along with Aden's 2nd Birthday party. Aden is really excited and is getting a BeeBo birthday party. Beebo is his new favorite thing. He is the baby signs bear. Aden calls him Bo and we have a lot of fun with him at home.

Aden's vocabulary has exploded these last few weeks. He is also being potty trained. He is so excited and would spend the whole day on the pot if we let him. He has gone #1 once and passes gas all the time. Some of you who have never potty trained probably don't want to read this...hehe. But we are so proud of him and excited he is learning and growing. He has a cute little Winnie the Pooh potty seat and gets 1 treat for trying and 2 treats for going. Yeah Aden you are growing up SO fast!

I'll add more later...for now I am going to nurse and go to sleep hopefully for a peaceful night in my own bed.
