It is that time of the year again

When you are thankful for everything merry and bright. May this Christmas be a delight! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

----

Christmas was great this year the boys had fun. We are getting into the age of where they understand more and get excited about it but on the other hand I want them to understand that it is not about the gifts they get and I make it a point in not giving them to many.

Poor little Si did not get much what do you get a 3mth old who has 2 older brothers, poor little man gets all the hand me downs....... I sure remember those days since I am the youngest of 4 girls.
Well when he is older he will eventually get new things.

and the log cake they got a hold of:

And so it falls

We had a nice little snow storm here last week was not quiet a blizzard. Our house must be the tunnel where the wind blows through because the snow drifts we had.... Lil O thought they were castles and he wanted to go play.







The front door:


Glad I am not the one shoveling....sorry honey.

Oh no he didn't

As I was sitting feeding Si and the boys were on the couch watching a cartoon. Lil O gets off the couch then turns to Ri bends over to Ri's foot and bites him, it was like slow motion I really was not believing what I was seeing Lil O is 4 and is biting his 2yr old brother! What the!!! Ri was in disbelief too and then he screamed. I called Lil O over and said that was not nice and we do not bite people so I think you need a little time alone in your room, he responded with "no no I will be nice now" I said it was a little late for that and he needs to go to his room..... as he walks off he starts to cry and scream well more like a growl all the way to his room. Ri came over to me a showed me the owie..yup teeth marks.

After a few minute Lil O came back down and I asked him to apologize to his brother, Then I asked why he did it and he said "I don't know" those are the famous words right now he seems to not know why he does anything. I told him when you feel mad and frustrated with someone you need to leave the room and have a little time to yourself ... we do not hit, throw or bite.

Ah the tree(s)

So I set the Christmas tree up on the 6th, I let the boys help me some with it (I am a little obsessive with it) they kept wanting to help so I found my Disney ornaments and let the pit those on then I went on the hunt for the small tree so they could have that one all to them self. When I pulled it out of the box Dh looked at me like I was crazy I just said to him don't worry your not the one who has to put it all away and besides it is fun for the boys and maybe they'll leave the big one alone..... so far so good they only touch the small one.

Ouch

This is what happens when you Built a fort with the couch cushions between the table and couch think you can climb on top, well he fell threw hit his head on the table



so here he sits icing it and as the night goes on he thinks I need to take him to the hospital so they make him better.

Say WHAT!!

you have got to be kidding me.....AF really.
Si is not even 3month and AF is here!

Gotta get it

Out of the mouth of Lil O(4yrs): I'm not a girl I'm a boy and I play with toys when I'm a man I boom boom gotta get it.

his conversation with is dad tonight. I could not stop giggling.

I have to wonder sometimes..lol. Yes that is one of his favorite songs Boom Boom by the Black eyed Peas that and Womanizer by Brittany.... think I should be worried or all your daughters should be.....

my big little boy

no wonder I thought Si was huge to me he is 10lbs 130z, Lil O at 2mths was 7lbs and Ri was just over 8lbs. I guess baking him 2wks longer makes a big difference.. :) He took his needles well.

He was a little cranky in the evening but over all was good slept very well. I must say I have been lucky with all 3 boys when they have got there shots it just made them all very sleepy.

Trick or Treat!

We took the boys to the mall on Halloween before we went trick or treating at grandmas.

When we got to the mall Ri was not so interested to do ANYTHING so I had to make him put on his lion outfit then I had to tell him he had to walk up to the people if he wanted treats because mommy was not going to keep doing it for him. Lets just say I was probably more excited the they were to be at the mall:

Grandma Dressed up:


Lil O (would not smile)


Ri getting treats


both boys


out at grandma and grandpa's




some houses near grandma and grandpa's


The boys just tried to enter a couple of house this year, on dog scared Lil O but he stood his ground and waited for his treats.

The boys have not asked for any treats since then and well mum has not offered but instead I have been eating them....not good...well they are good...but not good.

ah boy will be boys....BUT WHY!

Well so much for a nice big screen downstairs my 4yr old decided to climb his chalk board to draw chalk all over it and if that was not enough he thought hmm I should drive my cars on it too. lets just say mummy was not so impressed with his art work this time around. The screen has a spot almost in the center of it and the corner is lifted a bit. Hubby managed to get the chalk off but not the tire tracks on the edges....lets just say counting to 10 is good...I sent him to his room he lost his bike and his favorite semi truck too for a while and he is not allowed downstairs for a long time.

Oh the things they think

and say.

Went to the Dr the other day for mine and Si's 6wk check up and then went into Zellers to grab a few things and as I was in the line up Si started to cry (feeding time) and one of the cashiers came and checked him out and the she asked Lil O is your baby hungry?...lil O responded he is my moms baby and yup and he eats my momma's nipple. Everyone around started to laugh.

The check up went well Si weights 8lbs 8oz.

so sleepy

Si was up most of the night with gas pains.

I would hold him and burp or help him toot then he'd fall asleep in my arms so I put him down and I would then lay down......that would only last 10 minutes this went on from 2am till 7am when I finally just went down stairs to sit and hold him and watch TV. Lil O came down at 8am.

So far this morning Si is doing better but he now has gunk coming out of his right eye.

here is a recent photo of him. I made the little hat.

6lb 6oz

That is what Si weights now, little man has gained 9oz in 5days.

Dr appointment went well, Dr is quiet pleased with the way he is growing.

----

thought it as strange that Lil O slept with his eyes half open but Si beats him to it and actually sleeps with his eyes wide open in the REM..eyes are moving all over. at 1st I thought he was awake but that was not the case...it is kind of freaky watching his eyes go all over and roll on back.

Your not listening

I find myself chuckling a lot lately because when I take something away from Lil O for not listening he will go around and try to return the favor in trying to find something of mine to take away..... he just took my slippers and said I'm taking your slippers mom ...your not listing... He is still wondering around looking for more stuff as he just announced Mom I am still looking for things to take from you.....

Leave my baby...are you crazy!

I went to the post office yesterday to pick up a package that my friend Missy sent and when I got there I did not expect the box to be that big and heavy. (definitely need a 3rd even a 4th hand..lol)

I went in there with my double stroller Si in his carseat in the stroller Ri was sitting in the front seat Lil O was walking beside me.... so how do I get all including the box out to the van? hmmm.

I fist tried to put the box on the front seat and maybe strap in in but that did not work plus then I would not have much control over Ri while walking in the parking lot to the van...so that option was out. Then the post lady suggested that I leave Si with her while I take the box and the other two boys with me to the van then came back for Si....Did she really think I would just leave my 2wk old baby with a stranger....I THINK NOT! I just said ah no how about I just take the stuff out of the box and put it below in the stroller basket. That option worked.

Sad thing is that somebody probably would of left the baby with the stranger and not think about it...... I worked to hard to have these boys to just leave them with a stranger.

Anyways what was in the box was some books I lent her and costumes from many years ago and the stuff frog for Si.

Here is a shot of Si with his Froggy

13 days

So I finally got some photos of the boy today that I am happy with...I do plan on taking more of him.

He is such a good baby so far

My little man

Si at 1wk 1day

My newest little man is here

At 7:30am I woke to a jump then felt some fluid flow. I got up to go to the washroom and I new it was different so to make sure I went a laid back down again to see what would happen. Then Lil O woke up and came into my room (he was telling about the firemen in his dream and they were putting the fire in our house, he keeps getting this confused and thinks they start the fires not put them out. but it sounded like a good dream) He then laid down and watched some TV with me and that is when more fluid came I got up and rushed to the bathroom, sure enough it was my water that broke it was clear fluid. I sent Lil O down to get dh and to say that momma said to get you and her water broke...but what he said to dh was daddy momma wants you her water book.

DH figured out what Lil O was saying and came upstairs and that is when Ri woke. I started to get my bag ready find clothes to wear and get things organized. Dh phoned my mum and B since they were out at the campsite then he called my sis H she was suppose to come watch the boys but she was already at work so dh called my other sis J she then called my niece at her school to have her pulled out of class and to come watch the boys. ( she thought she was in trouble when the Principal came to get her)

We arrived at the Hospital around 10:30am and I was having contractions at this time. They got me into a room Dr's came in to make sure it was my waters sure enough it was. Then they said so I guess were going to keep you here, they then went on about having a 35weeker and they also sent in the NICU Dr to go over it all with my. I smiled and said to the Dr I have been here twice before since my other two were born at 33wks, they said so you know the ropes. Dh then went to get something to eat and my mum stayed in the room with me.

Contraction were coming a bit harder and the nurse introduced me to the happy gas no morphine since it drove me nuts last time itchy like mad... happy gas it was for a short while till it was no more. Dh came back and I mentioned to him that when you hear me breathing hard to come rub my back (I did not want to be waving my arms all the time to get his attention..lol) He did good every time he heard me breathe hard and came running to rub or put pressure on my back. when they started to come closer and harder the nurse mention the epidural and I said sure yes yes. The guy came in pretty quick this time but I tell ya it seemed like forever for him to give it to me....I think that was the worst part of the whole laboring thing was getting the epidural because I had to sit and not move thru my contractions and hang on to dh (well squeeze him while the nurse stood behind him with her hand on his back so he would not fall back..lol)
After that all was well I was able to get some rest....... not long after I felt pressure down below but thought nothing of it since it took my other to boys a while before I felt I needed to push. They were all making bets on when he would be born, I was so wrong Orson was pretty close. 

Felt the urge to push again and the nurse had to run and find a Dr 3 came in and 4 pushes later Silar was born. Healthy and screaming. Silar weighed in at 5lbs 12oz 18inches Sept 10 at 4:25pm he was perfect. 

Once again whisked away to SCN to make sure all is well with him. 

I had to wait awhile before seeing him again the Epidural this time was a real good dose my legs were al rubbery, when the nurse asked me to scoot up in the bed so she could change the pads when I tried I just about fell off the bed my legs did not do what I wanted them too...we had a good laugh. So she helped me scoot up. She later came to fell my legs and I still could not feel much and when I tried to put pressure the got all rubbery again and I jokingly said must of added something else to the epi..lol I had some toast while we waited for the feeling to come back to my legs...it was almost an hr before I could stand up with assistance. 
I was wheeled in to see Si then she took me to my new room and helped me into bed (still could not stand on my own) the other nurse were giggling at me and commenting on the dose of the epi too. Finally a few hrs later I was able to stand on my own. 

Si only had to stay in the SCN for 3 days then he came home.

Hello Si

I had my baby boy on Sept 10 at 4:25pm he was 35wks 3d

I will post the birth story later.

Hello plug

35w1d

I have been cramping all day today some I have to stop and breathe thru it....this started last night.

Went to the Dr today and there was some change with my cervix but not enough to admit me. Since I have been home from the Dr I beleive I lost my plug and my cramping is a bit stronger too.
So looks like it could happen soon, I just hope not on lil O's birthday I don't want them to share a birthday.

If I do not have him tonight I really need to take some photos tomorrow.

Why is it

that my almost 4yr old will nap but not the 2yr old...hmmm?

Ri was in his bed babbling then he started to call out for his brother then continued on to sing some wiggles songs stopped for a moment (I thought I was so lucky) then he started to call Momma come, come Momma. Thought I'd better go up before he started to scream for me and then wake Lil O. As I got to his room I see that he threw his puppy, firetruck pillow and blanket on to the floor and when I walked in he said "Momma I can't get them" as his arms are hanging over the railings.

So where is he now, yup down on the main floor with me playing while his big bro sleeps.

Well looky here

I am still pregnant, 33wks 4days is the furthest I have ever been in a pregnancy.

Mind you I feel about ready to explode. I have been having lots of Braxton hicks and some weird feeling in the lower regions..lol

Apparently this is what the boys think I look like

Geesh...I have been a Baaaad blogger

What can I say Facebook has sucked me in.

anyways I am still pregnant I was 32wks as of Monday
Took this photo at 30wks
I have had major heartburn indigestion (gaviscon is my new best friend) This boy moves alot and I mean a lot. Sleep is getting tough it is so uncomfortable to try to sleep on my right side partly due to my UU and all the sleeping on my left is killing my hip. Had my Steroid shots 2wks ago so we are all set for that, also had my 32wk check up today Dr said cervix is ok nothing to drastic but since I have been home I have had lots of Braxton Hicks and even some brown spot.

I almost feel like Si is going to stay in longer then his brothers did but I thought that with Ri and he still came at 33wk 3d so I will just take it day by day for now.

I really need to take some prenatal portraits but I have just have had no energy whatsoever.

The boys are being boys and brothers, lets just say the fights have started and boy oh boy can Lil O go at it and they both have a temper but yet diffenernt kind of temper it is werid. They love music all of a sudden they always want the radio on now, which is fine with me a little break for "tree House" other then the wiggles. It is so funny to watch them dance and sing the words to some songs.... that Boom Boom Pow...oye.

We have begun contruction on the upper and lower deck in our backyard, the contract guys are so much better then the guy we had do the basement....soooo much better. Looking forward to when it is all done.

off to bed with me

waves rolling in

Thought these clouds looked interesting, I took this shot just a few minutes ago and now the cloud is gone but it is starting to rain.

28Wks 3days

Had an u/s today and it went well. Si is staying put or as the u/s tech said looks like fort Knox in there he is not going anywhere. Dh, the boys, my mum and B all came, I guess when I was walking towards the nurse (they talk with you 1st and take your blood pressure before the u/s) Ri was looking thru the glass window in to the hall/elevator area and saw my reflection and freaked and jumped off dh and ran out into the hall thinking that is where I went, guess they had a goo chuckle over it.

Well my blood pressure was 110/58. As I was back in the waiting area Si started to move around alot and my tummy was bouncing all over the place.

Si is head down at the moment and is measuring at 29wks and weigh approxamently 2lbs 12os

When the tech was done with all her measurments that is when mum and B came in to see. Si was practicing his breathing and was even opening and closing his mouth sucking on his fingers and he was doing something I never saw with any of my u/s he was opening and closing his eyes, The tech said that that was even werid she never saw it either.

Well here is the little man:

The early morning beast

That is what I call him at the moment his real name is Stuck, anyways this boy for some reason every time he runs up or down the stairs he makes a weird meowing/purring noise. It is funny when he does it during the day but not at 3am

Why must people very annoying people

s p a m ... get a life.

Well Mr Si is growing well they say

u/s shows him healthy and my cervix long at 4. He is breach which explains all the jolts I have been getting through my cervix as he loves to pound on it. The Tech also said he has long legs.

Profile

Nose mouth cheek

as I was making my next appoinment Ri fell face 1st into the little play station area and started to scream his head off so I went and picked him up not realizingg he actually did hurt himself till I saw the blood on my white top then the big swell of his jaw and watched as it change to a black purple colour.
Poor boy has bumps all over at the moment because a few days before that he was sitting at the table and fell off the chair and his forehead met the other chair then the floor.... this little man is giving mum a fright

The goose egg on his forehead

and the bruise on his jaw

Blow

Went to the park yesterday and ran into a neighbor so we sat and chatted while the kids played. When we were leaving I showed the boys well tried to show them how to blow the white dandelions. Lil O got it fairly quickly but he just kept putting it to close to his mouth ans when he inhaled to blow I was sure he'd inhale some of the dandy, he did not he was lucky. As for Ri the noises coming from his mouth...lol he did not quite get it yet.

Science Centre

Hubby and I took the boys to the Science Centre yesterday and had a good day, the boys were checking out everything. I have to say that I have lived here all my life and I have never been there. The photos are not the greatest I really need to bring my external flash next time the lighting in there was terrible.

They were amazed at the ball floating

Still closed

My cervix that is.

Had my 22wk check up today. I have to say the office was moving fast today I did not even have all the paper filled out when Dr O walked in, I said to him boys you all are fast today..lol He laughed said he will come back in a moment and let me finish up.

When he came back he said to so your back, in Dr S's referral she says your full of surprises. since your FSH was high you were not expected to get pg and yet here you are....with a big smile on his face. As we were going through my history again he paused and said you know you are in the 1% to have a abdominal ectopic like you had and went on to get pg on your own, carried further then we expected you to and now your having a baby when told you could not...... not many out there like you.

The only thing that I have not done to them is have twins...lol... and I do know a UU can carry twins.

So heart weight good (I did not get it) cervix closed baby moving. My blood presure is good

Next appointment is June 23 next u/s is June 25

The boys were so good through out the whole appointment even Dr O mentioned that they were well behaved today.

My pride

Well the other day before I put the boys down for a nap I said to Lil O "maybe when you wake up momma can take some photos of you?" his response "ok when I wake up" SO what was the 1st thing out of his mouth when he woke...."You gonna take pictures of me momma?" Yes my sweet boy I am. He did so good to my little poser and of course Ri got in on it to (I knew once he saw big bro doing it he'd want to too)


And this is a snapshot of Lil O helping Ri jump off the couch for the 1st time yesterday.
Lil O has a few saying he say quiet alot lately:

"Maybe next time"
"When I am bigger"
"things happen"
"In a moment" this is usually when he asks for something and starts of with "in a moment we can go out to the park...."

June is what the Calendar says ..... this is JUNE right!

This is what we woke to this morning and it is still snowing.

Crocheted a baby hat

I have been wanting to make a hat like this for a bit but could not figure out how so I sat down last night and figured it out.

Now to make a few more in different colours.

I am out numbered

another little boy was proud to show his parts today at the u/s. Dh even said a boy before the tech did she laughed and said well you have seen a few u/s I guess because that was not that obvious.

at one point looks like we got the finger from him

will post more about the appointment later
