visitors

-

We have had some visitors today. Bob's mom, my mom, dad, and grandma/grandpa Grocho. He is great. They brought him to our room this moning and we do not want to give him back to the nursery. Bob was the first to change his diaper. The nurse came in to show us how to treat the circumcision during a diaper change and Carter thought it would be funny to pee all over everyone. It was seriously like a fire hose. It shot out of his bassinet all over the sheets and pillows of my bed as well as all over their medical equipment and the floor. Bob was laughing so hard that he could not find anything to control the hose and ended up cupping his hand about 5 inches from Carter's body trying to catch the pee. All the while I am defending myself from about 5 feet away on the bed. The nurse thought it was the funniest thing ever and said that we need to call for a different nurse next time. Wow!
The update on last night.... We ended up in a c-section. They really prefer that the baby go skin to skin with mother right after birth (kargarooing) so that the baby's body temp will rise safely. Since we went c-section I was not able do the kangarooing. Bob volunteered to do the kangarooing in my place. That is why he is in the gown with Carter skin to skin below. This worked perfect! Carter even went after Bob for milk. The nurses tried to get picture of that!!
Thanks again to everyone with the comments. It is great to hear from you all.

Wow, we are loving the pics and updates! What a little cutie! So glad to see that everyone is doing well. We still can't believe he's finally here! It seems like it was just yesterday you told Deb that you were preggers! I know you didn't want a c section but the recovery was truly not too bad and I was loving the fact that using the bathrooom was a non-issue. Believe me!!!
Keep sharing pics!

We love you to pieces!

Those TEE-PEE things don't seem so funny know do they! I can't tell you how happy I am for you all. I love that it took less than 24 hours for you all to get peed on! This kid cracks me up already. He is going to fit right in at the crazy Boone house!

He is so precious! I can tell by his head there was no way he was coming out any other way! You don't always see a c-section baby with a cone head, especially when there was no pushing involved! And see it's all about him being here now! Wish you a quick recovery so you can continue to enjoy your little one.

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
