Time needs to slow down.... Really!!!

Christian is one month old!!!!! I took some pics but haven't uploaded them yet so this is a lil one I got from my phone. He's the sweetest baby ever! We love him so much and couldnt feel more blessed that he chose our family to be apart of!!!


Things he likes-
Sleeping
Eating
Clean diapers
Cuddle time with mommy
His swing
His brothers kisses
Being swaddled
Doesn't mind the bath... To be continued
Sleeping at daddies gym

Dislikes
Waiting to eat
...Being cold after the bath
Dirty diapers
Having a stuffy nose
I really can't think of much cuz he's just so easy!!!! This month had been a crazy life change but cj has made it easy! He's the sweetest thing ever. Such a blessing to us. If you don believe that kids bring blessings, your crazy!!! Dave and I have noticed after both kids were born our lives were blessed, besides the obvious bundles of joy!!!! He's already so strong. He tries to stand like king did and Tries to rock back and forth during tummy time. We love you christian and cant wait to see you grow!!! We love u

Christmas

Better late than never!!!!
This was my first Christmas away from my parents and I was nervous I was going to have a hard time, but honestly it was so fun to just stay home and spend it with my lil family of 4. I never thought anything could be more fun then waking up on Christmas morning believing Santa knew what I wanted and brought exactly that to my house. Well, I was wrong! I now know there is nothing better than being Santa and watching king believe and seeing his face on Christmas morning and all the presents for him and cj. I think we went a little overboard and he lost interest a little but we had so much fun. I loved every second of that day!!!

Birth story

Monday the 5th of december, my doctor to,d me he would induce me Thursday the 8th. So I tried to get as ready and prepared as possible. I pretty much just stressed myself out and drove my whole family crazy. So Thursday comes around and I wake up at 640to shower and head to the hospital. Our plans for king fell through last minute so Dave stayed home with king until my mom got in town to take over. Walking into the hospital all I could think about was remembering my experience with king and how overwhelming it was. I almost lost it right as I was walking in. I got in got the iv and things started rolling about 9 am. They gave me the epidural and started me at the same time so I never really had it rough!!! However, it did take the dang doc 3 times to stab me in my back to get it right. Judd, my doc came in at 1 to break my water and then said whoever u want to be here u better call them cuz you have 30 minutes... Crazy!!!! I called my mom and she booked it! In that time my epidural wore off and I was feeling contractions so strong I wanted to die!!!!!! 30 minutes later I recharged the epidural and Judd was back in the room and 5 minutes later Christian was here!!! It was like 4-5 pushes. This go around was so much more relaxing and I was able to enjoy the experience. Right as he was coming out the nurse told me to look Down and I saw him come out:) he hardly even cried. He was just so content. Absolutely perfect!!!! Weight in at 7.1 and 19 inches long. He didn't even cry during his bath. He's been just as sweet since he's been home. I loved the entire experience. He's wonderful. King loves him and keeps saying baby baby!!!!! And tries to say cj:) it's so cute!!!! We are so blessed and thankful Christian chose us:)... Enjoy the pics

A good friend of mine was sweet enough to take family/new born pics for us 6 days after Christian was born. Dave told her he would give her 30 minutes( for any of you who know Dave, 30 minutes is pretty good) Sarah, did a great job. She was super organized and ready for her 30 minute challenge. All in all, I'm inlove with my pictures and Dave and I didn't end in a fight;) I would call that a total success

Cjs

Christian jahrel Stroshine 7 lb 1oz 19" long.... PERFECT!!!!!



Story to come..... I can't seem to put him down long enough to do anything else!!!!!

It's getting close

So I went to my 37 week doctors appointment and it KINDA gave me something to look forward to. Well first, I was negative for the strep test, yay, the weight gain is slowing down... Thanks goodness. But my doctor told me that if I'm dilated next Monday( because he doesn't check until 38 weeks, because it could induce labor, which I'm totally ok with) we can talk about inducing me next week... Yay!!!!!! but if I'm not, well that sucks. So I'm getting a pedicure this week a massage and whatever else I need to do. Because at this point I don't need to go into labor I just need to be progressing. It's crazy to think this could all be over soon. I wish I knew how I was feeling at 37 weeks last time. Even though I blogged and wrote in my journal it's still hard for me to really understand the emotion. Today I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I feel like my house is a mess and can never get it clean enough. Even though I'm anxious to not be pregnant I'm extremely scared to have a newborn again, along with my wild man Kingston. I'm stressing that I'll have some depression like last time.... That's not a good sign that I'm already stressed about that:). But I know I'll get through this and that this baby will totally be worth the stress. i think being induced will be crazy. Knowing when exactly this baby will be here and trying to sleep the night before...yah right! It will be a sad night for me. Excited of course but sad that it will be my last day with my first and only lil man Kingston. I hope he adjusts quickly. I love him so much... Words cant describe my love for him and the happiness me brings this family. He will be the best big brother. if I go into labor on my own with this one Like I did Kingston, I will have him this next Sunday. Woah!!! I hope my baby makes a weak sack and have strong legs like his brother... Pop that thing buddy!!! Anyways, a lot going on in the stroshine home and were all very excited/ scared for the unknown!!!! But mostly excited!
