Cam is 6 weeks old!!!

Time to Clean house!

Well with only a few short weeks until we pack up our belongings, I am trying to go through everything to get rid of the junk...
We can hoard a lot of stuff..
To do list:
Clean toy boxes
Clean closets
Pray for patience
Take clothes, shoes and unloved toys to thrift store
Sort clothed to mail to states for vacation
sort quick ship goods
pray for sanity
clean outdoor toys for packing (as soon as the building painters are done!)
put all books and movies in the same location!! LOL the kids have tons of stuffup stairs that would be better packed if they were all together

Accept that this is all going to create a mess bc Collin will help and I am constantly stopping to nurse a baby!!

Pray for me!

Officially on month old...Cameron is growing!

Collin seriously loves this baby. He calls Cameron his baby. If he even makes a peep, Collin insists he is crying and I need to get him. Last night Cameron went to sleep and I put him down. I went to rock Collin to sleep and he insisted I get Cameron. He needed to rock with his BABY! He was not even interested in alone time with mama!

watch Cam grow

Cam is 3 weeks here...will post 4 weeks pics soon! Isn't he a cute lil thumb sucker????

Papa and Grandma take JAPAN by storm!

SO, as many of you know, my parents made the long trip to Japan to help us out while Cameron made his big appearance.

It was well timed. They were here a week and a half before his birth and 2 1/2 weeks after. This gave little Collin time to warm up before mama disappeared in the hospital for a few days! :)

Having them here made the transition and the delivery a lot easier for the kids. We are so greatful...and cannot wait to be closer to home soon!!!!

We managed to squeeze in some sight seeing and cherry blossom viewing too!

We hit he big spots. The Kintai bridge, the castle in Iwakuni, the Peace park in Hiroshima and the castle there. We did a lot of Cherry blossom viewing! Cameron picked a beautiful time to enter the world!

he arrived!

Cameron Wyatt arrived in his own fashion on March 21!
He presented nose first and gave mom fits, but is safely here! This is a diagram of his malpositioning...

hello world

I have not posted in a LONG time, so here is what is occuring in our lives at the moment! This is a belly shot for you that are keeping count...32 weeks in this one! This was taken before he dropped! I need a new pic since I look so much smaller now (yeah right!).

I have been growing one strong baby ( as declared by Kyle). The other night we were lying together watching TV and the baby was going to town. So, I reached over, put his hand on my belly and he was in SHOCK! He said, mom does that hurt? I told him sometimes...but mostly just feels weird.

Then he got this odd look on his face and decided to ask me if he could watch the baby come out. Well, I thought as he has seen animals born, why not? SO, then he asked if it hurt. I was honest...YES! And we had some interesting discussion about babies being born...so, my boy is growning up...sigh...and wanting to learn the facts of life...fortunately he will not try to nurse his baby dolls as his sister did! ;)

Carrie really wants to see this little guy come into the world too, so I may end up with a crowd in the delivery!!! LOL

Collin is into EVERYTHING. He starts each day by asking, "baby come out and play today?"

He cannot wait to see this little guy. Our neighbors have a brand new baby and he does get how small the baby will be...he is amazingly gentle with her. I am in shock most of the time bc he is so rough and tumble most of his days!

As far as I go, the baby is finally head down (thank you GOD) and is fully engaged. This means I am VERY uncomfy. Today we started having a lot of contactions every time I tried to lift Collin...so that is a no-no now.
Since he has spent the majority of his life being held, he is not adjusting to this so well...but I gotta keep this kiddo in until daddy comes home! (3 more weeks)...argh that seem so long.

Kevin has managed to call a few times and is really enjoying the job right now. I think he has serious peace of mind about deciding to stay in the military...

SO, we are off to Columbia, SC in a few months...we are having a blast on line house hunting and seeing what there is!

We miss you all!!!
