it's just so much work when it's just for yourself ... I literally only took a couple pictures, maybe I'll hire it out for my next baby!! if there is a next baby

Bright eyed at day 6 after a good nights sleep

Baby Zach

meeting baby zachary:)
Ethan was the most excited out of my two boys to meet and show off his new baby brother.  when we got home we kept hearing him tell his friends to come and look at his new brother it was really cute until one of his friends saw me in my underwear. Mason was a lot more reserved about zach and for the most part pretended that he didn't exist, but it was hard for me because I could tell that Mason was a little anxious about this new addition.  He's been a pretty good baby and had a pretty good first night not crying (as long as he was being held) 

So .... tomorrow's the day :)

 never been induced before so I'm a little nervous, but ... Tuesday is definitely the day!!  Sometimes you've got to kick them out of the house:) and it's TIME!!  wish me luck
I just hope this cools me down a few degrees:)

more slip n slide pics

slip n fun!!

So when our boys weren't doing the slip n slide the way Spencer thought they should he began bowling them down the lane!!  I was a little apprehensive at first, to say the least, but the boys seemed to enjoy it ... so what do you do. 

Funny at Ethan's birthday party

so it went like this:
Mom: "Mason, don't open that"
- mason stops what he's doing, but then mom gets distracted again
Mom: (in her firm voice) MASON BELLAMY
Mason, having opened the present already looked up guiltily and immediately folded his arms and stayed that way for the rest of present opening just casting longing glances every now and then at the present that he'd started to open :)  

the latest ... if anyone still cares:)

alright, so i was scheduled for an induction tomorrow morning, but I decided it wasn't great timing with my bro-in-law coming home from his mission and my cute son's b-day following that so .... if I actually have any control over this process at all (which is seriously in question seems how I'm 39 wks pregnant) I will be induced next Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m. (o6-o8-1o ... that should be easy to remember) on my actual due date (who knew people actually went to their due dates, this is new for me)
oh, and at my dr's appt today I was still the same as I have been for 3 wks!!! and the dr. said the baby looked pretty dang comfortable:)
