Another update...

Okay here's my update....

RC - RC is smitten. He can't get enough of his daughter or his boys lately. I think it may be kicking in just how quickly they are growing up. He has even back off about the not calling Kailey a princess. For those who don't know he wasn't thrilled with calling her a princess because there is already 2 princess' in the family and he thought that was enough. But he has been caught more than once referring to his little princess. But my favorite is when he picked her up and called her is little Ladybug. I don't think he knows I heard him or he would shoot me for sharing this with y'all (good thing he doesn't really read this huh!). He has been amazing about spending equal time with the boys as well. He watches the Transformer cartoon with the boys every morning. He snuggles with them all the time. Oh and he even changes Andrew's diaper without too much complaining. He really is an amazing father! I am so blessed to be married to a man who loves God and his family!

Myself- I am tired. Not exhausted just the typical run of the mill tired that a mom of a newborn is, oh and not to mention 3 boys! No seriously I feel good. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I was healing up nicely. My favorite thing was stepping on the scale. I know I know its hard to believe a woman, especially one who just gave birth two weeks ago would say this but I am. I started the pregnancy a lot higher than I ever wanted too. I started it at 195. At my last doctors appointment prior to Kailey being born I weighed in at 193. When I weighed in yesterday I weighed in at 173. That is 22lbs lighter than when I got pregnant. I still have a little ways to go before I am where I want to be but hey I am going to celebrate the journey and the little milestones along the way.

AC - Well he is doing well. He missed two days of school last week do to a stomach virus. Oh and missed today because he has bacterial pink eye. (At least its bacterial because that way we can treat it with antibiotics and he can go back to school tomorrow. If it was viral he would be out of school for 3-5 days because you have to let it run its course with out medicine.) He is doing amazing in school. He is reading well. He and I made it through half a book today before his youngest brother and Kailey started fussing. According to his teacher he is just amazing in school.

Trace - is back to enjoying school. He looks forward to going now and will excitedly tell me what he did at school each day. He is an awesome big brother to Kailey. He is so helpful. He'll go get diapers, burp clothes, and anything else Kailey needs. He loves to hold her and snuggle with her. He is very hard headed though. He acts like his father! I find myself having to tell him repeatedly to do something, or when I tell his brothers to do something I have to tell it to just Trace as well. (Hey no comments from the peanut gallery, yes I know I was the same way.)

Andrew - Well Andrew is just Andrew. He is such a mixture of his brothers personality that I'm not sure quite how to deal with him. He can be so laid back and chilled one minute and then stubborn and hard headed the next. He jumps from one extreme to the other and wow which way will work best you have to guess and hope your right. I do have really excited news to share about him. He pottied in the potty for the very first time today. We are not pushing the potty training thing but he is interested so we are exploring it. He was so excited that we had to clap with him and just be excited too. He too is amazing with Kailey. Maybe a little too rough but then again he is only 20 months. Oh, I have to share this story because it is just my kind of luck that I have to deal with. We were gathering up to leave the doctors office today for AC's eye, I had Kailey in her car seat and was getting the prescription. Andrew was standing right next to Kailey and all of a sudden pukes. No he didn't turn away from her, quite the opposite in fact, he turned towards her and puked all over her. Luckily I had a blanket on her so it only got on her hair and car seat but gross, Poor Kailey!

Kailey - Speaking of Kailey, she is doing awesome. Her coloring is warming up more and more each day. She still seems so small. I can't believe she's here. She did unfortunately catch the stomach bug that has been going through our family. Her tummy just doesn't feel good. She is getting more alert and actually looks towards her brothers now when they talk to her. Her lungs are great just ask her Aunt Nyki. She can scream when she is upset. She's still not as loud as her oldest brother was but she can scream! I do love playing dress up with her. NO she doesn't care for it but hey she's gotta toughen up 8-) She doesn't like to be messed with at all.

Well that's all for now. Oh I almost forgot. Our family got elfed. We got the idea from my brother and sis in law. So check us out. Here's the kids http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1162061319, and here's RC and I http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1162329682. You guys should get elfed yourself. I would love to see so leave your link on the comments.
