Liam is here-a little early!

December 28th was the scariest day of my life!  It started with a routine doctors appointment and ultrasound.  The ultrasound was first, and we never got past there.   I had somehow lost all my amniotic fluid and if we didn't deliver Liam (almost 8 weeks early) he wasn't going to survive, and then Dr. Graves said, "Oh, and it's going to be a c-section, this little guy won't make it through a vaginal delivery".  So a couple hours later, at 6:39 pm Liam Andrew was born weighing in at 2 pounds 5 ounces.

My biggest worry was his lung development, they had said that he might not cry when he was born and might have to be on oxygen.  Thank God, Liam came out screaming!  The NICU doctor came over and told me he is a fiesty one!  They put him on oxygen through his nose as a precaution, but he was on the lowest dose, and off of that by day 2!  Our only concern with him is that he is tiny.  But he is gaining weight like a pro!  At 15 days old, he is already up to 2 lbs 14 oz!  He is our litlle miracle baby for sure.  I know with him being a premiee will have more doctors appointments, and maybe concerns his first year then we did with Landon, but I am happy he is here and thriving!  I have moments where I get upset because he should still be in my belly, but obviously God had a different plan for us this time :)

Happy 4th Birthday Landon!

My baby boy is now 4 years old!  Time has flown by!  We had his party at Fuzziwig's Candy Factory in Prospect, he had a blast.  All the kids got to do a scavenger hunt and their goodie bag was a box of candy that they got to fill.  I ordered him a special cake this year, I found a friend of a friend who makes not only beautiful, but delicious cakes!  His party theme was Batman, that seems to be what he is into at the moment. 

It's a boy

It's another Boy!  Landon is going to have a little Brother come February.  He still likes the name Vivian, but we are slowly getting him to like Liam.  We are still thinking on a middle name!  To tell the in-laws, we did a trip to Huber's.  I wanted to do something special, the second pregnancy isn't as exciting as the first for people outside of our house, so I wanted to have some excitement.  I had a shirt from Landon's pregnancy that said It's a Boy.  I had totally forgot I had it until the day we went to Huber's!  So I wore that and waited to see how long it would be until someone noticed :)  My mother in law noticed right away, but it took awhile for everyone else.  I had bought a cookie cake, but it was so hot that day, and we were all so full from dinner, we didn't make the trip back to the car to get it.

Our day at the Zoo

We enjoyed this beautiful weather by going to the Zoo.  Landon has been asking to go forever so we thought it would be a great day to go!  Grams went along with us.  Landon's favorite parts were the Tiger and Lions.  He actually said they were his tiger and lion.  The Orangutan was so much fun to watch.  He put on a little show for us!

Happy St. Patricks Day!



Happy St. Patricks Day

Because the weather was going to be so nice today, Josh and I took off to take Landon to the Zoo (more about that later).  Since we were all home, Landon and I made green cupcakes for St. Patricks day.  We also had green scrambled eggs for breakfast.  It was such a blast.  I wish we had more time to do these things!










Such a big helper





Best part about baking, licking the spoon!
