Pictures!

On Saturday we had Jack's pictures taken. The gal was darling and she's posted a few pictures, and the rest will be done soon. I am so excited.

Then Sunday my sweet sister Julia came over to visit, she is so great with the kids.

She came over to find us all taking a nap together.

Kire has been just wonderful with Jack. He loves to snuggle him and kiss him. He hasn't been at all jealous yet. Erik has been great to take Kire and play with him when he gets home from work, and the weather was great last week so it was nice.

Jack Corbett Thompson

Kire can say that he named his baby brother.  We weren't really even considering Jack until Kire decided he needed to name his brother "Captain Jack" after seeing pirates of the Caribbean; but the name grew on us.  Corbett is a family name on Erik's side, his mom's brother passed away and was named Corbett.

Here is Jack in his new sling, I think I am really going to enjoy it.

He has a lot of dark hair & more of an olive complexion like me, I wonder what color his eye's will be?

This is Kire when he was born.  Jack is definitely darker, and has a smaller nose, but I think they look a lot alike.

I had forgotten how small newborns are, they are so wonderful.  I am sore and tired, but am feeling much better than my birth with Kire.  Erik has been so wonderful and has just played with Kire the past 2 days, I don't know how I'll do when he goes back to work tomorrow.  But Kire has been great. He gets mad at Erik if he talks too loud and tells him to be quiet so he doesn't wake the baby.  He loves to lay by us and touch Jack and says " he's so cute & sweet."

Baby "Jack"

7 lbs 15 oz 21 1/2 inches

Kire was so excited for his baby brother.  He wanted to see his fingers and toes and immediatley asked to see my belly to make sure he had really come from there.  I also had to explain breast-feeding to him, which was interesting.

My blood pressure had been high since last Thursday and when I went to my doc yesterday it was still high, so she sent me to the hospital to get started.  It was a long day, we started the drugs at about 11 am, but once she broke my water at around 7, I progressed fast.  My nurse came into check me and I was dilated to a 7 and when my doctor came in 30 minutes later she said we were ready to go.  Erik quickly called my mom, who was down the hall with Kire; she ran and barely made it into the room in time.  He called his parents too, but it was all over within 10 minutes!  I only had to push a couple of times and he was out.  

So we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy, but still haven't quite decided on a name.  We're still leaning toward Jack.  More pictures to come!

Grady's Wedding

Yesterday my brother Grady was married to Lauren in the Logan temple. It was a beautiful day. They had their reception at The Point in Salt Lake and we had so much fun. They had a ring ceremony and Kire was the ring bearer, then they didn't have a formal line. There was just music and dancing, so it was really laid back and everyone had a good time.

Lauren & Grady exchanging rings

On Friday I went to the dr. and my blood-pressure was way high, so technically I'm on bed rest.  I'm going in again on Monday and if it's still high they may have to induce me early, which I wouldn't mind.  If everything looks good, I guess she'll start me on the 20th like we have planned.  

White trash mom

So today I ran a few errands then took Kire to the library. It was lunch time & Kire wanted rice and beans, so I pulled into the drive-through at Beto's. I was behind 2 cars and had 2 cars behind me when Kire decided he had to go potty. I waited for a little while, but the line wasn't moving so I got Kire out of his seat and pulled him up front with me. I had an empty water bottle in the front seat and I let him pee in it. I pray no one saw me-how embarrassing, but no accidents!
