It just maybe might be time for an UPDATE...

Wow! I really wish I was better at this blogging thing. I think I'll make a goal to post once a week, ummm...that might be too ambitious but its better to shoot for the stars and land in the trees than shoot for the trees and land in the mud right? We've had a pretty exciting year. I'm not going to do a complete run-through but maybe I'll hit some high-lights. As most know (from my last post..haha) we had Weston December 4th of 2010, when he was 7months old...Surprise we found out we were pregnant again. After it taking us almost two years to get pregnant with Weston, it was a good surprise to have it happen so quickly and without trying, but unexpected and challenging as well. Being pregnant while taking care of a baby is a little tiring to say the least. Pregnancy went well, no major problems or complications. The only concern throughout the pregnancy was the baby's size. 'Cause I likes to grow them big. (: As it got closer to my due date my doctor informed me of his concerns and suggested doing a c-section. With Weston being 9lbs 4oz and having a shoulder distotia he was concerned about it happening again with not as favorable an outcome. So on Monday April 23rd I went in for my visit, baby was measuring 9lb 7oz. He told me its not a 100% accurate and baby's actual size could be anywhere from 8lb 7oz to 10lb 7oz. Kurt and I prayed a lot about it and decided that we didn't want to take any chances so we'd do a c-section wich was planned for April 27th. Tuesday April 24th my water broke and we headed up to McKay to have our little guy. He was born at 1:59pm via c-section...9lbs even and 21 1/2 inches long. During surgery I had the most calming feeling telling me that everything would be fine, and when my baby came out screaming and squirming it was the most amazing thing in the world. A strong contrast to Weston when he was born. We named our little guy Austin Daks Warner, middle name is an acronym for all our parents names (hence the different spelling). One of the blessing that we received is that the day we had Austin they lifted the no sibling rule so Weston and Emilee were both able to come meet him. The c-section wasn't hard at all, its the 6weeks recovery with no lifting anymore than your baby that has been killing me. Its so hard not being able to pick up Weston and hold him like I use to. Other updates....Weston had his first birthday, and is currently 18months old. He is such a big helper, he throws away his own diapers (along with anything else he sees fit). When its bath time he takes off his clothes and puts them in the hamper. And when its nap time he takes my hand walks with me to his room and climbs into his crib. It's like he's realized I can't do what I used to and he's trying to make it easier. Emilee turned 5 this year and will be starting kindergarten in the Fall...full day, Wow! not sure if I'm ready for that. She has seriously been so helpful with her little brothers and I just love having her around. My hubby Kurt will be graduating with his bachelors in accounting May 24th...so excited for him to be done!!! He's worked so hard. As for me I'm adjusting to life as a mom of 3. There is never a dull moment but each of them is so special and full of so much personality. I've been blessed with amazing friends and family that have helped so much while I've been recovering. Ok, now that I've rambled on and on here are a few pictures for you...
