Two months

Two months?!?! Callaway had her two month well check and she is growing but definitely not a beast like her brothers. She weighed in at 12 lbs 10 oz and stretched out 22.5 inches. She had to have her booster shots and those are never fun but she did pretty well. She loves her baths and her brothers (when she's awake). She has had a few nights of sleeping 4-5 hours but most of the time it's close to 3 hours. We are hoping the weather warms up and the wind settles down so we can take some walks outside.

One month and baptism

One month already? I have enjoyed every minute with my last baby. My mom stayed with us for a week and that was awesome! It was so nice having her here to help us adjust from a family of four to five. I think she really enjoyed all the cuddle time too. I'm definitely tired, but I love the baby snuggles. Some mornings I'm on auto pilot. I wake the boys up, get them breakfast and dressed, then off to school/daycare. Once we are back home, I try to get a few things done around the house and sneak a nap in there as well.... We celebrated Callaway's baptism and looked adorable! The gown she wore was mine (and Kelly's)!

Easter

It was cold the day of the Easter hunt! There were snow showers off and on all day. The boys had fun at the egg hunt and got some goodies at home from the Easter Bunny.... Also, Allison gave Callaway her first bottle and the boys gave her a bottle as well.

Family of five

Callaway Kristine

It's a girl!!! Wow, was I surprised! We had a scheduled c section set for February 22 so it was nice to have everything lined up for the boys and ready to go at home and work. I wasn't scheduled until 1 pm and I was told not to eat or drink anything that morning. That is a long time to wait! So I had just ONE apple slice. The hospital called and said they were running ahead of schedule and asked if I could come in early. Of course! That was awesome! Once we checked in, everything was going smooth and quick.... until the anesthesiologist came in. I was about 10 minutes away from surgery and he asked if I had anything to eat or drink. I was honest and told him about my ONE apple slice. Big mistake! Turns out, it could take up to six hours for my body to digest that silly little slice so he told me and my doctor that we had to wait until 1:30-2:00 pm (even later than my original time). Ugh!!! Anyway, we finally got into surgery and I was so shocked when the doctor said, "It's a girl!" I had a few tears and realized our family is now complete. Callaway Kristine was born at 2:05 pm. Weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. The boys are so excited to have a baby sister. We can't wait to add lots of pink to our lives!

Basketball

Heisman is becoming quite the baller these days. Tony helped coach his team this year and both boys had a lot of fun. By the last game, I noticed Heisman was being kind of a ball hog and shooting it every time instead of passing to a teammate. It was great to see him being so aggressive and competitive but we probably need to work on teamwork a little :) Madden brings his basketball along and plays during warm ups, halftime and after games. He will be in the action next year!

Almost baby time!!!! Both boys say that they want another brother. I have been thinking boy the entire time (until proven otherwise). Either way will be fine. We have everything - and then some- if we have another boy and we would love a little pink in our lives! The hardest part of this pregnancy is picking a name! Madden has been so into my belly lately. It's pretty adorable. He talks to the baby every night and loves to feel the baby move. Heisman has been through this before so he's not as into it as Madden but he does think it's cool to feel the baby move. Can't wait to meet this baby!!!

January snow

I felt like we didn't have a lot of snow play this winter. I think the boys only played outside a handful of times. I managed to get outside one or two times but it was tough getting snow boots on and squeezing into my snow pants (only a month away from baby!). Luckily we have great neighbor kids so the boys had a fun time building snowmen and having snowball fights with them.
