my son!

sunday october 24th at 8pm was when it all started... church was over thank goodness! my water broke, and we headed to tacoma to get the antibiotics going (tested + for group b) then went home to "sleep".
waited for contractions to start... then went back to the "birthing inn" at 7am the next morning for more antibiotics ... still waiting for contractions to start. napped for a long time. finally the midwife came in and said if contractions don't start by 1 then we are doing castor oil, and "something else" to get them going.( edited for the guys) so we waited, and sure enough 1pm October 25th. came around. and after another round of antobiotics and a castor oil shake, contractions started full force :) 4 hours later with 45 min of pushing our son was born.  we had a water birth, and Philemon got to catch him.  :)
my dad did not know that we were naming him after my older brother on my dads side, so when he met james, it was really special.

then grandpa Rose came in and we sang "the never ending song". Bro. Rose would sing philemon to sleep with that song, so we wanted to pass it down. james went right to sleep.

now we are enjoying our new son, and praying to raise him for the Lord. he already has such a personality and he is only 2 weeks old :) right now he hums himself to sleep, and laughs in his sleep :) he loves to sit with daddy and watch him play his vidio games, and loves to look at daddy when he reads the Bible to him :)
he loved his daddy!

BLUEBERRIES!

Bought this blueberry plant last year, and thought it was going to die, but my lovely sister Hannah nursed it back to health and now it is growing huge berries...

I'M THE BABY!

well, our cat had decided that he is the baby and that the vibrating seat is his bed....
i tried to take him out, but he kept going right back ... it is now where he sleeps when he
cant snuggle with me on the couch...

i am hoping to find out what is all going on with my body, and praying it is all ok.
will find out on monday.

Gardening

well i will be finishing up our front lawn today (fingers crossed)
this should be fun! it has not been done in like a year or so. maybe longer.
photos later...

baby finally kicked daddy HARD last night! daddy jumped out of his skin! it was so funny!
its really neat to feel gummy bear growing and getting stronger :)
here's a few photos...

mmm... DINNER!!!

our cat decided to go out and catch dinner for us.
after bringing it inside and batting it in our hallway i had philemon
take it outside to let the cat play with it out there.
here are some photos.

we go to the dr. on the 17th to find out if our gummybear is a girl or boy... what do you think? not that we are going to tell. :) but it will be fun to see who is right and who is not...
