Micah the Preschooler!

Micah has less than two months left of his first year of preschool.  He has learned so much this past year and has grown up a lot.  He is our big helper for sure.  He can write his name!  So fun!!  Micah is all about being fast, doing things fast and wrestling with daddy.  He enjoys ever minute that he gets to spend outside. 

Although we didn't get much snow this year, the few times when we did have snow, daddy, micah and sophia spent time enjoying it and making a snow fort!  We look forward to spring, summer and many many evenings of playing outside with Micah.

Micah really loves helping daddy with the cleaning in the garage too.  This weekend was garage spring cleaning, and washing the car.  Micah did a great job of cleaning with daddy!

Sophia is officially a toddler...

Although Sophia became a two year old a month and a half ago - she was still my little peanut.  It was just after Mason joined our family that I realized what a big girl she is.  Sophia is learning more words everyday.  Currently her favorites are: "Don't want to, Don't want it, Mason, Micah, I want to, I am Two"  Its fun to hear her saying more things all the time.  Her vocabulary is bigger than I know - I am just learning to make out the words that she is saying:)

Sophia has also started really loving her dolls.  She spends time feeding and cuddling them.  She cuddles the most with her strawberry shortcake doll. 

Sophia is my cuddle bug.  She loves being as close as she can - and sucking on her bottom lip to sooth herself.

Two Weeks - and Counting

Mason turned two weeks old today.  He is growing so fast.  Its hard to believe that just two weeks ago, we didn't even know we were having a baby boy! 

Micah and Sophia are so excited about their brother Mason.  They each spend time holding him and playing with him each day.  It is so fun to see them as siblings.  I look forward to watching them grow and become better friends over the years. 

Mason had a rough go into the world, with a bacterial infection in his eye at 6 days old (we ended up at the ER.) He also has had an interesting time with feeding but two weeks in we have the hang of it all.  His eye is healed and his feeding is going so well.

INTRODUCING MASON LEVI...

Our little man decided that March 6 was his day to enter the world regardless of our scheduled C-section for that day anyway!  Monday March 5 in the evening I began having contractions that only continued to get stronger until I called the hospital at 2:30 am letting them know that we were on our way.  When we got to the hospital I was dialated to 4 and was contracting every couple of minutes. 

After a few calls with the doctor, they decided to move my c-section up from 9:30 that morning to as soon as they could get it done.  Although this c-section was different than the others.  Due to a low platelet count, I was put under general anethsia for the birth of Mason.  This meant that I was not awake when he was born.  This part was a little bit sad for me, it took me about an hour after Mason was born to be able to find out we had a baby BOY! 

Mason Levi was born at 5:12 am weighing 7 Ibs 2 oz and was 19 1/ inch long.  He had very dark eyes and a good amount of light brown hair. 
Sophia and Micah we so excited to welcome baby brother home!  Micah is such a great big brother helping in any way that he can - Sophia is following suit and helping out too.

We are blessed in so many ways by baby Mason, and by Micah and Sophia.  They show us the meaning of real God - given Love.  The love that he has for us that we only can experience through those we love!

Changes!

So its been a few months since I have written.  I have been on bed rest for the past 26 days, tomorrow we will deliver our baby!  Looking forward to meeting our new baby and introducing him/her to the rest of our family and friends.

Look for more details soon!!
