Mr cash is almost 7 months

Cash is almost 7 moths old!!! Where did that time go???? Cash is such a fun, smart and sweet boy. He is a big boy! 90% height 80% weight and is 20 lbs! He is a solid little guy, just like his dad. He is almost crawling. Getting up On His hands and knees and rocking back and forth. He is very good at sitting up on his own to play with his toys. He loves to eat. He likes anything we have given him except for peas. But we won't give up on them. He loves to be sang too, jump in his jumper,loves to be outside. The other day he said momma!!! It the sweetest thing and he has the sweetest little voice. Cash also likes to give big wet kisses!!! He thinks he is such a big boy sitting on the couch watching tv with dad. We live him more then anything and we are so grateful for him! We are getting family pictures next weekend with the beautiful fall leaves. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

4 month old

WHere in the heck does the time go???? My sweet little guy is 4 months old today! I was putting away his 0 to 3 month clothes and just about balled my eyes out. I don't want my baby to grow up! He is such a little stinker already. And so strong and smart. This kid is going to be. Crawling and walking before I know it because he is already trying. We love Cash to pieces!

2 months

2 months already???? He is growing up so fast! Poor little dude had his shots yesterday. Breaks my heart. I wish I was one of those lunatics who dont believe in vaccines! ( not really but sort of) that's the worst part about motherhood is seeing your kids hurt or sick. Cash has the sweetest personality. He is always smiling and trying to talk. I can have a full on conversation with him! I'll make "baby sounds" ( I know i sound retarded) and he will talk back. He is a tough little guy just like his dad. His has such strong legs with calf muscles already. He would rather stand then sit He loves to be outside and take baths. He will ignore you, wont smile and will not talk when he is in the bath- I think that is his alone time and he does not want to be bothered so he can relax! We love him more then words can express! He brings such a sweet little spirit into our home and life is a million times better with him in it. We love you Mr. Cash!!!

I told you I would post more! This blogging thing is easy on the iPhone and iPad! So expect random posts and pictures. It was a little chilly going for a walk yesterday so I has to bundle Mr. Cash In the stroller and I got this sweet picture. His face just kills me. He probably hates me because I cannot stop kissing him. And I'm so excited to do an Easter basket for him! Holidays will be a million times better with this little nugget!

I had a way easy delivery. Quick and easy! Because I had high blood pressure, Cash was 2 weeks early (thank goodness or he would of been 8 1/2 pounds!) so on march 6 at exactly 38 weeks, at 8 pm we went to the hospital to be induced. After being hooked up they check me and I was at a 2. They nurse and dr said because this is my first baby, and I was induced, this will be a long hard delivery ( little did they know!) and they will have to give me patocen and dr would have to break my water. So at 10 they gave me, don't know how to spell it, but citoteck? It was a pill. I was already contracting every two min. Then at 1 they gave me another dose of the pill. Then at 2 am, I was laying there trying to sleep, Landon was asleep, I hear this weird popping noise then all the sudden I started gushing water, wich seamed like gallons and gallons. My water broke on its own! It scared the crap out of me! After that my contractions were so painful. I got my epidural at 4 ish. At one point the babies heart rate started dropping but the nurse kept having me switch sides and that seamed to help get his heart rate back up, so it was possible i could have a c section. They still didn't think I would have the baby for a while, but around 6, I felt like the baby was falling out of me! So they checked me and I was a 9! They were so surprised. So the dr came in at 7:45, I pushed for like 5 min and he was out! Only 6 hours of labor and 5 pushes! It was the most amazing experience. To hear his first cry, it melted my heart. We are so glad he is finally hear. Landon is such a sweet daddy. He is more patient then I am! Being a parent is allot harder then you think. Untill you are taking care of a baby yourself 24/7, you have NO idea how hard it is. (it's not hard, just a huge adjustment!) but it is so worth it. cash only cries wen he is hungry or needs his cute little bum changed. I don't what I did to deserve such a sweet baby boy. I thank Heavenly father every day for him and my family of 3! I can't wait to do kid stuff! Oh, and this Easter I get to do a Easter basket for him! Life is a million times better now!

Introducing Cash Minear!!!

(just found out I can blog through my phone so I'm sure I will be posting more often now. I hatred uploading photos to a computer and blogging. So this is easy!!!)

Our sweet sweet baby boy was born on march 7, 7 pounds 8 ounces 191/2 inches long. He is so sweet and such a good baby. We are absolutely madly in love with him! I cant believe he is almost a month old already! I will post more later but here are some pictures .

Baby update!

Trying to blog on the ipad is difficult! Lets see if this works! Anywho, no more chalkboard pictures. I take them for myself, but i dont feel like sharing them. At first it was fun, dressing the bump, but now its more of a chore and not cute any more. I havnt gotten fat, i just feel icky! Its hard to find a good angle! Epecialy when your retaining so much water! Im sure you ladies who have been prego understand. I am currently 37 weeks and 2 days! At 35 weeks i had a feeling i should go in and have my blood pressure checked. I went and im glad i did! It was so high! Like 151/91. I had to have a few tests done and it turns out i have preeclampsia. It is very common in first time moms. I have to go to the hospital to do weekly stress tests and i had to leave work 2 weeks early. So im currently on bed rest. It is sooooo hard to just sit here when i feel perfctly fine! Becase of the high BP the dr wont let me go past 39 weeks. My original due date is the 20th, i will be 39 weeks on the 13th, so on the night of the 12 i will go to the hospital to be induced. Unless he decides to come on his own before then! We are so excited and cannot wait!

9 months is just too long to wait for something that you have waited your whole entire life for. I have wanted to be a mom more then anything since I was 2! And now that it is time, you want me to wait for 9 months??? I don't think i can wait that long. but I guess I have no choice. so I will just...wait. We are just soooooo excited. last week I bought Landon some construction paper and he made a chain with 103 links on it to count down the days! Remember doing that as a kid? so we have this huge multi colored paper chain strung on the backs of our kitchen chairs. It's pretty awesome.

How far along? 26 Weeks

Total weight gain: oh boy, so I have to???? 23 pounds already!!!!!! I swear I don't look like it. It must be all in my boobs.
Maternity clothes? Maternity leggings (I live in those) and long maternity tank tops. then I wear a lot of my regular clothes mixed in.

Sleep: I wake up a ton to switch sides.
Best moment this week: We went Christmas shopping and bought a few cute clothes for him! he is going to be the best dressed baby out there
Miss Anything? sleeping on my stomach, muscle definition(I stopped going to the gym, but i need to start going again) and my energy level.
Movement: I feel him mostly all day, but at night he goes bananas. He has dance parties.
Food cravings: I haven't had any huge cravings. like the " I- have- to- have- that -now -or -i -will- kill -someone" type of craving. something might sound good, then if we don't have it in the house then i forget about it. so no craving really.
Anything making you queasy or sick: not since the first trimester.

I got the questionnaire idea off the blog where i got the chalk board idea.

as of now I am 26 1/2 weeks, feeling rather large and in charge, and I can't believe that I am going to get bigger then I already am! 14 something weeks left to go and this kid needs to gain like 5 or 6 more LB's, I can't handle the fact that I am going to get bigger. I already struggle with getting dressed. showering, turning sides while sleeping and bending over. Speaking of the shower thing, I think I could really not shower until after I give birth. Am I the only one thinking showering while prego is hard? It is allot of work! Then after, your skin is so dry you have to lather your whole body in lotion and use stretch mark cream all over. after a shower I am ready to nap.
One thing that Landon and I get annoyed with is when people are asking us about the pregnancy, people always say "babbies are sooo much work", "kids are forever" "enjoy your time alone and the time that he is still in your belly" or "are you sure your ready for this?" All those comments drive me nuts. I'm thinking I know! and I am so ready for it! I know how kids/babies are! I know you can't just give them away when you need a break, and I know that they will drive you crazy and make you poor and take over your life. We know what we are in for! And we couldn't be more ready then we already are! I know they are coming from a good place when they say that, but it still drives me nuts.

We already got a car seat and stroller! they are just sitting in my house and I cannot wait to use them! I wish i had a baby to push around and take for rides! (obsessed much? I think so) I wanted a nice jogging stroller, but not just to jog in, one for ever day use so we got this BOB stroller and I am so in love. It is the smoothest ride and it has shocks too. I wish I could ride in it but it only will hold 70 lbs.... bummer.

Then this car seat will attach to the stroller so I can use it while he is still itty bitty. This thing is heavy. I think all car seats are. then add a 10 lb and up baby to it? Moms must have huge biceps! I struggle with this thing with out a baby in it. I better start seriously pumping some iron. why do they always have to slap baby warning stickers all over things? It drives me nuts that they do that.

I am currently already 24 1/2 weeks already! Time is flying by! I still feel pretty good. Its is hard bending over to pick things up, but that is expected, but honestly I cannot complain! I am just so ready to have this little guy here. I think we are set on a name. I just don't know if I want to reveal it yet.

Thees 2 photos are out of order. sorry for lack of make up or if I am just in my jammies!

Yep it's true. I spent the day in the ER with kidney stones. I have never been in so much pain in my life! I think labor will be easier then having a stone. They had to be careful giving me pain meds because of the baby, but they gave me morphine, and that didn't even touch the pain, in fact it kept getting worse, then more morphine and it still kept getting worse. then they gave me something stronger then morphine and that finally helped. (all while monitoring the baby of course.) and they had to take xrays of my belly (they HAD too) so I got to see my lil peanut's skeleton inside of me! It looked so funny, but it was cute. I have had a few kidney stones before and some women just happen to get them every time they are pregnant, so I just might be one of those lucky ones! I think being prego made it worse because You don't just have to worry about yourself, but there is someone else who is way more important that you have to worry about also. so im hoping it will not happen again, at lease until he is out

The GROWING Belly

Its a boy!!!! we are so excited! at first, I kind of thought it was a girl. For some reason I just always imagined having a baby girl. Landon's dear sweet grandma passed away a month ago and when she was in the hospital she wouldn't stop talking about our baby and how much she wanted to meat him/her. Then when she was getting ready to let go, his grandpa said that when she is up in heaven, she will pick out a boy just like Landon. (Landon was THE favorite grandchild and his grandma and grandpa loved being around him). So ever since she died, I was kind of wondering maybe she will pick out a boy for us! and She did! We went to Fetal Photo to find out because my Dr wasn't going to tell us what we were having until the big ultra sound at 20 weeks. I could not wait that long! This thing is way too exciting!!! When the ultra sound tech was trying to get a good shot to show us, I saw the "boy parts" first and shouted "It's a Boy!" and she was pretty shocked that i could tell before she did. Landon could not wipe that smile off his face. He had knew it was a boy all along and he is so excited to have a little buddy to play baseball with, hunt, and go golfing! we went to the mall right after and went straight to Baby Gap. We got some cute stuff! it is sooo much fun shopping for this little guy. At checkout, I glanced over at all the ruffles, dresses and girly stuff. I got a little sad for a minute, but then got over it. We are so excited to have this little guy!

I wanted to take pictures of the growing belly and I wanted a cute way to do it. Cute little Mary pinned this idea on Pinterest (littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com) so I thought I would do this too! Mine is no way near as cute as the baby garvin one, I have no idea how she gets her chalk to look so good. Give me paints and colored pencils and i would have a masterpiece every week. I'm just not so good with bulky chalk. I went to the DI and couldn't find a big enough picture frame so i just had to work with the smaller one i found. well, I hated the smaller one so I made My sweet husband make me a huge chalk board from scratch! I love it and now i have more room to write.

My pictures always upload backward, so thees are backward. don't mind my ugly makeup less face in some of them.

(serious bloating in week 15)

oops, i just erased week 14 picture. crap. if i try to upload it, who knows where it will end up.

This is me at 5 weeks. I didn't start to get a belly until around 14 weeks, but sometimes i look bigger due to all the constipation and bloating! ha! TMI??

We have the big ultrasound on Oct 28, and i can't wait to see him again! I have not felt him move yet and I am dying to! it is so weird to me that I have a 5 1/2 inch (crown to rump) squirmy baby in my belly and i haven't felt him move yet. its just weird.

My Wedding!

I just love how all my pictures get uploaded backwards! Geez! Here are a few from my wedding. there were over 450 to choose from, so this is just a fraction. Most of you have seen all of them on FB, but here are some good ones! We stayed at a B&B before we were on our way to hawaii. the B&B is HAUNTED!!!!! Thank goodness my mom told me after we had left there, or else i would of not slept there. I did have a feeling it was haunted when we got there.I remember telling Landon "I think this place is haunted!" and all he said ya, this place is old. It was creepy and old looking! ha ha How romantic! I had a hard time sleeping that night. It is the Armstrong Mansion. Google it. (if you do, it will show you a picture with a ghost walking around!) it is on the haunted registry list thingy. But we got it for free, so that was cool!

Everyone seeing us off. What I liked about my reception is that peolp STAYED and HUNG OUT. most receptions you drop off a gift, say hi to bride and groom, get food and bail. but everyone stayed and mingled so it was an on going PARTAY!

Landons beautiful mother high-fiving Him!

We had a photobooth! it was sooo fun. I love looking at my guest book and seeing peoples pictures and not just their message and signature.

Oh, this cake. beautiful huh? This guy right her, Adam, he did it. He is incredible! I did not want to cut into it, it was sooooo pretty! it was amazingly tasty too.

Oh boy. so I had this brilliant idea to get a pic of my nieces and nephew in front of this cute playhouse. I had a vision on how exactly i wanted it to be. Boy was I wrong! thees little rascals (mostly Daisee, the middle one) would not cooperate! but thats ok. it still turned out cute.
