Kalleigh's Bday

We have only 1 more party to go... on Sunday we will celebrate the girls' bdays with our families... So far I have made 3 cakes... 2 chocolate and 1 confetti. ONly 2 more to make for Sunday and we will be all set! It is hard to believe we have a 6 and a 3 year old, and a 3 week old. I remember the day we brought Kalleigh home from the hospital. So much has changed since then, and so much has stayed the same. :)

Right now the girls are at Dars pizza in Pipestone with GMA and Bree Bree. They have kidnapped all of the kids-the 6 youngest anyway for an afternoon/night of ice cream cones, the park, swimming in our hot tub and sleeping in the camper. Hopefully the weather will cooperate otherwise they will all be in grandmas house!! All of the kids were super jacked up when they were here, and Bree and Grandma will be lucky to survive with their ear drums intact. 1 9 year, 2 5 year olds, 1 6 year old and 2 3 year olds... talk about a full house!! They are lucky to have so many cousins that live close!!

Sow Belly Pig

OK so whoever told us we were taking a little boy home from the hospital was WRONG... dead wrong... We do not have a little boy at our house, we have a LITTLE PIG... At his 2 week appointment, Ramsey weighed 9 lbs 15 oz... mind you all he weighed 7lbs 11 oz when we left the hospital... so needless to say he is gaining very nicely!

His entire face has changed, and his stomach, and thunder thighs.... maybe he will be built more like Kalleigh than Abigail.l... time will tell I guess. He is doing great... we are on this massive cycle of eating, pooping, and sleeping - not in any particular order. Nursing is going good- all of my parts are still intact, however I am still sticking to my original statement when I said that boys suck WAY harder than girls.... maybe that has something to do with his massive weight gain?? we will have to see. But so far- he is fitting right in to the Carr family... I think we will keep him!

Happy Birthday!!

As if getting a new brother wasn't exciting enough... Monday was Abigail's 3rd birthday. She tried hard all day to get past the fact she believes she is 5 1/2.... but I am not sure it has stuck that she is 3 and not 5 1/2... oh, well, she will have a whole year to grasp the concept!!

Big ticket items on her bday list was a BABY BORN... when she opened it up she said..." Oh, my GOSH, Oh, my GOSH! About 6 times... it made her day! She spent the day feeding and changing it's diaper... just like Whamsey....She is such a little spunky thing... we can't wait to see what the next year will bring!

Next monday will be Kalleigh's 6th birthday... I think we will be celebrating AEbleskiever weekend... with the cousins and whomever is around....

Life with a Little Boy...

Well, we have 1 week under our belt, and I would have to say that things are going very well. Ramsey is such a little stud. He sleeps for the majority of the day (and night), eats, and goes through a massive amount of diapers... It seems like he is dumping a load in his pants every 5 minutes... his little tush is sore due to the fact he ALWAYS has poop in his diaper!

The girls have adjusted to having him in the house... Abigail has yet to learn how to use her inside voice... it was good he had to listen to her for 9 months inside of me... he sleeps right through everything...

I have deterined that BOYS are way harder "suckers" when nursing.... He gets right to business and is a super good eater....

It is hard to believe that he came out of my body... I find myself staring at him in wonder...partly because he is a boy, and partly because he completes our family. Part of me is a little sad... but the other part of me is so relieved. I have NO desire to be pregant again... even if the end result is something as cute as Ramsey!!
Enjoy the recent pictures... he is growing like a weed!
