We ventured out in the snow for Isaac's checkup. Poor thing got 4 shots but the good part of that is that he won't need anymore for a LONG time. He's doing good, same old. But we need to watch his tonsils for the next year because if they don't shrink like they normally do at this age, he will need to get them out. He has huge tonsils and they just balloon up when get gets sick. Another good part of that is the ENT is our drs son, which is neat.
Stats (she didn't write them down, so Im going from what is on the graph):
Weight: 37/38lbs
Height: 43in

Happy 5th Isaac!
Today Isaac celebrated his 5th bithday. 5 candles. We started a countdown chain a couple weeks ago and been taking one off each morning. This morning we were finally down to the last one. Everyday we also have been reminded hourly that his birthday is coming. He even went to bed early last night so that the morning would come faster. And when he woke up he said he was 5 and was time to take down the last link. All day he was waiting for his cake, which infact he doesn't like cake, but the thought of cake was cool (he wanted and got a Kung Fu Panda one). We asked him what he wished for after he blew out his candles and got...Oh dad, Oh mom. So he knew if he told us his wishes, they wouldn't come true. Smart cookie ;)
I wasn't really ready for him to turn 5, but Im more ready for that then sending him off to school in the fall.
5 years ago I thought finally...since he was 8 days past his due date, which was my birthday. He came 1 day before his scheduled induction.
Started out around 2:30am with 2-3 min contractions from the get go. Woke me straight up making me grab my husbands hand involuntarily. No question about 'is this it'. It was definately it. And of course I hadn't pack yet (yea I know, 8 days past and not packed yet), so we had to pack during the 2-3 min contractions, which was no fun. Thank god I had a list to go by. When we arrived at the hospital, I was 6cm with buldging water. So we got right settled in. The contractions were nasty, omg deathly nasty. Ripping/Stabbing feeling all over non-stop. I was crying, screaming, and was out of control. Once I got 8cm I screamed and begged for an epi. No way in hell I was going natural. I swear I would have passed out and died if I did. They were that horrible and I still cringe today on how aweful/horrid they were. Worst contraction pains hands down of all 3 kids. They were so slow at getting the epi and I had some fine words to tell about the hospitals slowness (I now laugh at what all I said during this labor). But once I got the epi, I was in HEAVEN and even thanked the God who administered it. Instant relief. I even let my parents in that were waiting in the waiting room. We talked and laughed and watched the monitors skyrocket (didnt feel a thing) until it was time to have the baby, in which they left. After 45 min of pushing (still didn't feel anything but felt when I needed to push), out came Isaac at 7:45am (actually/technically 7:44 but they asked if they could round up since the minute was almost over). 6lbs 13.5oz and 20.5in long. As soon as he was out I said I would do it again in an instant....but I think the epi was still talking and I was riding high on the adrenalin rush....But yes we did it again (Carson, 23 months later)...and one last time (Kianna, 4 years later).
Side note...Isaac was born in the old part of the hospital, which is now gone. It is now a parking lot.

We've got a STANDER
Well Kianna acheived another milestone. She can stand on her own for a good 5-10 seconds. You can even tell that she wants to step forward but won't yet. You can see it in her eyes that she really wants to tho. Im afraid my baby will be walking soon. She is growing up too fast right before my eyes. I still blame her brothers for the early stuff. This summer will be interesting to say the least.
On another note...I became a victim to the slippery ice/snow this morning. I fell and injured my shoulder while on my way to get the mail. At least its my left side and not my main right side.

Carson's 3 yr Checkup
Carson weighs 32lbs (probably more since he was leaning against the wall) and is 37 inches tall. He got his hearing and vision tested and passed. No shots either since he is all up to date. And he also received a book too.
The highlight of the appt......Carson lived up to his comic status by answering a first for the dr while getting checked out. The dr asked him if he had Cheerios in his belly. He said no. Then he asked then what do you have in your belly. He said.....wait for it......POOP! Only Carson would think of that. It cracked us all up and the dr said that it was a first, he never heard of that as an answer. And you know what...its true. I couldn't be more prouder of him.
