Maya's Birthday party

Maya's Birthday was exactly what she wanted. I think I could have just gotten her a Backyardigans cake and decorations and she would have been totally fine with it. Her favorite thing is Backyardigans and so I was really glad she liked her cake. For a month now all she has been saying is "Pablo Cake" so when she saw the cake she just wanted to grab it and play with it. It was so cute. It was really weird to see my baby turning 2 but we had a great time with family thanks everyone for presents and coming.

Maya's Birthday!!!

Well I can't believe that it has been two years since this sweet little girl was born into our family. It was a long and scary pregnancy with her. Brant and I were just getting used to the idea of having another child when I found out that I was pregnant. I was not that happy about it. I was really sick again like my normal pregnancy's are and I had three kids that were very active and then at 14 weeks my placenta tore and I started to hemorage. We went to the ER and the doctor said that I would probably miscarry in the next day or two no matter if I laid down flat or walked around. I that point I knew that it was her time to come in out family and felt bad for all the awful thoughts I had about being pregnant again. I went to my regular dr. and he said I should be ok and that she would be fine. I would have to go to high risk doctors so that they could keep an eye on her growth and everything else. I had a c-section with the boys so we decided to do another one with her. At 36 weeks I was having really bad pain in my incision so I went to the dr and he said my uterus was thinning and that they needed to delivery the baby so that my uterus wouldn't burst. They delivered her and she weighed 7lbs. 2oz and she was very healthy. She had to stay in the NICU for a couple days cause they had a policy if they are not exactly 37 weeks they go straight in the NICU. When we fianally got her home it was like we had always had her in our home. She is so sweet and loves to play with her brothers and sister. She is a very smart girl and talks just like her sister did. We love her and knew that she was the puzzle piece that was missing in our family. WE LOVE YOU MAYA HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Easter

Well even thought the weather here in Idaha wasn't very nice on saturday we were still able to color eggs and have a good time. This year we did karo syrup eggs and if you have never done those they are pretty fun. You have to poke a whole in the top and bottom of the egg and the bottom whole is just a little bigger than the top one and then you blow the inside of the egg out and then let it dry. Then you take the karo syrup and put food coloring in it and then a paint brush and paint the egg and it kind of runs down the egg and makes it look pretty cool. We also just did the traditional dye for some of the other eggs. We were not able to have an easter egg hunt because of the weather but it was still a fun day for the kids. We always do the easter bunny stuff the day before so he comes friday night instead of saturday night just so that we can let the kids have that day to just do fun stuff and then on sunday we tell them the real reason we celebrate easter. It turns out to be a pretty fun weekend. I hope everyone else had a good time with family on easter.
