He's Here!!

Matthew James    July 19th, 2006  8:51 A.M.

6lbs 6oz             19 in long

Had this little guy Wednesday morning, got my tubes tied Thursday morning and  got to come home Friday afternoon. It's been a busy week!

This is my new little guy, and he is the sweetest thing. He's a very good baby and he's just too darn cute. I'll probably be too busy to post for awhile but I'll try to post new pictures and updates. I'll just have to see how things go. Dads bringing Morgan in the morning but Leaettas supposed to come over when she gets up. Matthew has a Dr. appointment in Paola at 1 tommorrow. Mary goes to the Dr. tommorrow morning and I guess thier going to discuss when to do her induction so I'll let ya know when thier little guy gets here.  

Well, I went back to the Dr. on Friday, had a sono. They said the baby weighs 6lbs 3 oz now. Of course thats not exact but it's probably pretty close. I feel much better. Everythings fine and I can have him whenever he decides to make an appearance. Which hopefully will be sooner rather than later. I've got everything ready for him.

   Leaetta's having a boy. And I just heard Shawn ferrell is getting a boy too. Everyones getting boys this year it seems like.

Well, Friday night we decided to have a cookout and do fireworks for the kids at Bryans moms house cause everyone had to work the day after the 4th so we planned it for the weekend. Let me tell ya, that was the most interesting 4th we've ever had there. We do this every year and this year things were going pretty much as they always do until Bryans sisters boyfriend got into it with Bryans mom. Yeah big no-no. This guy is 6 ft something and a great big guy. Not muscley or anything just a big guy. Anyway, you hear brad tell him not to speak to his mom that way and then you see little Larry her husband pounce on him. Larry is a little guy so this was kinda interesting. The kids were all crying and screaming. So I took my girls around to the front of the house. April grabbed Larry and while she had ahold of him I guess Brad took his turn. The next thing I know Jeffs running up the driveway with his kid in hand and the 3 guys are following him telling him to put the baby down. So anyway, he got in the car and left. We got the girls to calm down and then did a few more fireworks. Then we called it a night.

Saturday evening was Brad and Mary's wedding recption. So we went to that. Taylor had so much cake icing and junk to eat she ralphed all over the floor so we said it was time to go. We spent the night at Bryans moms again and the next morning bryan and Larry had to spend the day fixing his moms sewer pipes cause some roots had went through the pipe.

Not much going on today, I need to get my housework done. I go back to the Dr. tommorow.

Well, had my Baby Shower yesterday. Not a real big turn out. Moms friend had already brought by her gift and Lisa brought her and aunt Pams gift with her when she dropped Ashley off. Deanna, jen, and Johnna had to go to Arkansas for a family reunion. So everyone was pretty busy this weekend. Leaetta and Candace bought me a soft gym activity mat. Its a frog! I love it. Charla bought wipes and nipples. Mom got me a baby book and diaper bag. I got all kinds of stuff from Lisa and Pam. wipes, bottles, binkys, an outfit, bottle brush, bottle drying rack, 2 tie together blankets Lisa made with frogs on them, some butt cream. I've got everything you can think of. I went to wal-mart the other day with Leaetta and bought some diapers and some bottles I liked and some cute little scratch mittens and a cute little bib that says I love my big sister.  Now we just have to wait for baby. Deanna and them said they would bring my gift by sometime since they couldn't come. And Carla said she's going to bring my gift to the hospital when he's born. Brads wife, yes dare I say it, they got married on June 20th. What was he thinking? anyways, she's due 3 days before me so Carla is going to throw us a shower after the babies are born. A come meet the babies kinda thing. I think it will be neat. And by then I'm sure I'll think of something I don't already have that I need or want.

On Thursday, the starter went out on the Toyota which we knew was going to happen, So Bryan drove my Jeep to work, and on the way home it broke down too, can't think of what it was called that broke but it also was something we knew was going to need replaced. So with all 3 vehicles now not running he had to take Friday off work to get them fixed. So now the Jeep and the Toyota are in perfect working order. YEAH! His truck he traded to 7-Hwy for a 95 dodge caravan. It's pretty nice. I mean it needs cleaned up inside but it has all leather seats and to rips or tears anywhere. there's a scratch down the drivers door and a dent in the back that can be popped out. Nothing major. All electric windows and keyless entry and all that. And the best part: it will hold all the kids. Yeah!! The Jeep is big enough for me and the 4 kids but no room for Bryan. So now I have a 7 passenger van with plenty of room for everyone. well, I'll shut up now.
