Kade's First Halloween

So today was Kade's first Halloween and I took him trick or treating, well kinda, I took him to Jason's office and the ladies were SO happy to see him. They were all "awwww... he's so cute" and they also said "You don't even look like you were pregnant, Brooke"!! That helped me SO much!! I cannot believe how quickly my stomach has gone back to "normal". I do miss the pregnant belly tho and I cannot wait to have another one! Yes I am saying this even with the few sleepless nights I have had already! I love my son and I cannot wait to have either a son or a daughter!! I told a nurse that the minutes after I delivered Kade. She laughed! LOL It was a wonder experience and I praise God He allowed me to experience it. I pray He allows me to do so again!

Kade Earl

So Kade is here, well he was born on Monday October 20. 2008. He was a good 8lbs 10 ounces, and 21 inches long!! He was and is a healthy baby boy!! He is the light of my life and I am SO happy he is here!! We are doing well so far, having some trouble feeding but Monday I have a lactation nurse coming out to help. I am very much for breastfeeding him. I cannot believe he is already 5 days old! today was his due date.

I went in Monday for a follow up non stress test for blood pressure issues. the doctor came in and talked to me and told me that I had one of two choices. I could either keep coming in and getting checked out or we could induce. Well, needless to day I decided to go ahead and induce. I called Jason and we came as soon as he could. They started the poticin and at 10:20 AM the doctor broke my water and Kade was born at 6:27 PM. The nurse said I pushed for just 30 minutes, but it didn't feel like that, it felt like 5 minutes!! the midwife that delivered Kade was awesome. As you can see in the picture he has a lot of hair and the midwife was joking around and said that she could put a bow in his hair... if he was a girl! (she said all this while I was pushing) LOL At first I didnt want a midwife to deliver him but she was awesome. She and I joked and laughed while I was pushing. I plan on using her with our next baby!

Having Kade was such a wonderful experience that I was talking about having another baby shortly after he was born. The nurses were a little shocked! I loved being pregnant and I am loving being Kade's mom!! Jason is a great dad and he is totally in love with his son!! It is neat to see him as a dad.

Well I think that is all for now.

Baby

Kade Earl Smith is here, he was 8 lbs 10 ounces, and 21 inches born at 6:27 pm Oct 20, 2008!!

Our Anniversary and House

so this Sunday will be our 6th Anniversary! Cannot believe it has been 6 years, the time flies!! And not to mention our son is due a week from Saturday too!! It has been a great year this year, a lot of changes, all of which are good!! We are in our house and loving it! A couple of neighbors have already come down to welcome us and we are looking forward to trick or treaters this year!! We are in a neighborhood that has a good mix of people. The couple behind us says that it is becoming a younger neighborhood again. the people that were kids when they first moved in are having kids now, which is great for us. Precious is loving the fact that she is able to move and have more then one room to go to! LOL She has always followed me around but lately she is REALLY bad about it! I asked her the other day if she knew something I didn't! LOL She just looked at me like I was crazy! got to love dogs, she makes my day good!! As I am typing this she is laying on the floor staring at me. Gets on my nervous at times but what are ya gonna do, ya know? Oh yea, we still don't have cable. We did get a home phone and Internet and we will get our satellite hooked up on Monday!! We were suppose to have Charter, the cable company here, come out tomorrow but they gave us SO many problems with the transfer that we gave up on them. So those of you who live in AL and have had problems with them, just know that it is not just in AL, its up here too!! Anyway, got what I am hoping to be one of my last OB appts before the baby!! I will be 39 weeks Saturday!! Almost there!! Well, I think that is about it for now, I cannot think of any other news. :-)

New House

So we finally moved into our new house Friday!! We are slowly but surely getting things together. I am just happy that we are in the house and that we will bring our son home to our new house once he is born. I am loving this house and don't wanna move out of it!! the neighbors are really nice. We meet the people behind us and they have the cutest dog ever!! They said that the neighborhood is going young again... LOL. they built their house around 20 years ago and all the kids that were around then are having kids now so more kids for our kids to play with!! I just praise God He allowed us to find this place and that we got it! He is awesome and His timing is awesome!!

learned something new

So I was talking to Jason the other day about a winter coat and I thought I found one, well come to find out what I thought would be a good winter coat is considered a fall coat here!! So I had to get Jason's help to find a Northern winter coat!! LOL So today I ordered my first every winter coat, Northern winter coat that is!! It is cooling off here and so far I am liking it, its nice not to have to AC on and to have the windows open!!
