Before and after baby Ollie


Before the babes came, I tried a few things to get him out early...and that included riding a bike. Not sure if it worked or not, but I did go into labor 12 hours later. Or maybe I just went into labor because I had an absolute break down at 6 in the morning, just a big old cry fest. Uncontrollable, but at least short. Danny I'm sure thought I was crazy because of the randomness of it all. But half our later....contractions started! And 5 hours later came Ollie. Since then, it has been a whirlwind of craziness. Why you ask? Well, it isn't because we have a newborn, because he is so sweet and hardly cries, Beck cried 24/7. It was the fact that 2 days after I got back from the hospital, I got a stomach bug that lasted 4 days, then beck got the stomach bug, then pink eyes (plural), then foot hand mouth virus, and currently still wakes up with high fevers. So we are going on 2 and a half weeks of crazy. Poor Beck. I'm hoping that by this wednesday he is 100% better because of family is coming in town for my little brother's wedding. Oh please oh please.
But Ollie is doing great! He is a big boy, eats and sleeps all the time. He has big eyes (looks like they could go blue like his dad) and just stares at you with them. So sweet.  We went to his 2 week check up and found he was above average in head and weight and pretty dang tall. 
Danny and I went on our first date since the new babes and boy do I love my man. He still makes me laugh after 5 years of marriage. And of course I couldn't get him to sit still for a photo for the life of me, wish he would....he is so dang handsome.

  2. Gorgeous gorgeous, girl! That sounds awfuuuuuuuuuul! HFandM is THE WORST ON THE PLANET!!!!!! My daughter got it from nursery (curse you!) and then my husband got it. Apparently there was a strain here in the Southeast where adults could get it and it hit him so hard and he was completely out of commission for a week straight. An almost 30 yr old got kicked to the ground for a WEEK! it was insane. Hang in there girl.

  10. Yuck about the tummy bug (IMHO the WORST!!!) and the HFandM. My kids had that two years ago, but fortunately there were no newborns I'm the house at that time. But you have very sweet babies and I hope that's the last of the yucky ness for a while! Take care of yourself!

  11. You guys are such a cute family! I heard that foot hand mouth was going around...poor little guy! I'm glad July is over because the kids and I have been under the weather too...and they still have one more week of breathing treatments (asthma/allergies).

    btw you look amazing! Can't even tell you had a baby!
