We Enjoyed out stay at Tan Tar A but I hope next time we can stay at the Lodge at Four Seasons. We took a couple of rides on Ralph's boat, Charlie didn't enjoy sitting outside but was fine as long as we were inside.

At this time three years ago...

we were just getting ready to head to the hospital... my water had broke a little over 3 hours ago contraction were moving along, I had got online paid bills, did the dishes , picked up the house and packed a bag (I hadn't pack that yet since we had 3 weeks to go before my scheduled c-section). I really wasn't ready to go, I was scared Charlie was on his way and we weren't ready, I had done my heparin injection which I was suppose to stop taking for 2 weeks before delivery... I was scared, my whole pregnancy I never relaxed never enjoyed it...after all the problems before. But this was different we had come this far and I would have to trust the doctors and believe everything would be just fine... So we called the doctor and head to the hospital.
I look over and see this this...

We made it without running out of gas!! I make the long walk into St. Johns Women's center after we found out where it was .. that was another thing we hadn't done yet the hospital tour was scheduled for next week. I forgot my ID.. oh well they took my word for it. Got me all checked in (3cm) and we are waiting to be transferred up stairs... we are still wondering what is going to happen natural or c-section? I then regret not having belly shots so I ask Chaz to take one of me (NOT the best Picture of me!!)

Once we get upstairs Dr. Boyd comes in and informs us that it will still be and c-section and they will get us in as soon as a OR is available but it's a busy morning. The contractions are all in my back so the best way to relive the pain is I bend over nose to toes (well the best some one that huge can do) the nurse comes in and yells at me that I am pulling of the monitor and must stop. So they finally after 8 get the analgesic in do place my epidural. I had feared this!! But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be until I found out they had to redo it since only the left side of my body was numb!

Finally around 9:30 they come get us it our turn in the OR... things happened very quickly in there... they asked if i was in pain and I wasn't besides for this horrid Migraine that came with the epidural! At 9:47 AM Charlie was born 6lbs 5oz 20 in long

He had what they referred to as a growl so he was taken to the NIC unit for a while with Daddy. While Moppy went to recovery. I didn't feel well and thought I might be sick, my head was pounding! They said i would be there for an hour then I would be moved to a room and my Baby brought to me soon... well it was for ever. I head other come in and leave get this or that but I was still here... starting to wonder whats wrong with me or if I was forgotten. He comes Chaz and it is almost noon! Still not sure why I was there so long! Charlie is doing well and they are waiting for me to come upstairs he wants to eat, the nursery had called down and that got things moving and finally we went up to out room!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY
CHARLIE!!

Where do you come up with this stuff....

Well pretty much unfazed from the days prior events Charlie was his normal self last night. Lately he is really Daddy's Boy so he was sitting with Chaz and this is the conversation that fallowed...

Charlie- what's that
Chaz- what's what
Charlie- whats that (I see him point to something)
Chaz- that's a pen where did this come from , Moppy
Me- I found it in the toy bin figured it fell off your table (toy bin is under the table)
Chaz- I don't recognize it wonder where it came from
Charlie- It came from Kmart!

4 Stitches...

That's what my baby boy got today... We were having fun at Playtime with some friends, some how Charlie tripped on the mat at the bottom of the slide, fell and caught his little chin on the end of the slide. It didn't bleed much but looked deep plus I didn't like the way it would turn into a gaping hole when he would move his mouth so off to Progress West ER since Dr. Sommer's office was closed for lunch.

Almost 2.5 hours later we were heading home with 4 Stitches a wore out

Charlie and and drained Moppy!

See that blue mat thats what he tripped on!

Look at me looking at me

Today at My Gym is was like Charlie noticed the mirrored wall for the first time and was really hamming it up watching himself do things.

Sophia's Birthday Party...

Yesterday afternoon was Sophia's party, we enjoyed the party very much! It was so nice to see so many friends we hadn't seen in a while! Sophia was her ever smiling self. Happy Birthday Miss Sophia!

But now before the party... I asked Charlie if I look nice and he said "you look cute" then he walked over touched my shirt and said "how much did you pay for this?" I told him that wasn't the type of question you ask someone it's not polite got an "OK Mom" and off he went.

A Little Detour

So this morning Charlie and I went out for a doughnut since Daddy was at school. When we were finishing up when I asked Charlie should we get some doughnuts to take home for Daddy he said "no, I just want to go to the Zoo" So we went to the Zoo! Armed with just my itty bitty pocket camera. Charlie didn't want his stroller said he was going to walk and I didn't carry him. (he is getting too big for me to carry for long!) Daddy called when he was leaving school and thought about join us but decided to head home which was fine because we were not farm from heading home ourselves.

I love you Huckle...

Lately Charlie has decided Huckleberry is his pal! We really have to watch him because he wants to lay on him and tries to pick him up, which wouldn't be a problem but Huck has a bad back. But you hear him often say "I love you Huckle" and if we tell him to be easy or that he can't do that with Huck he will respond with "I just love him"

Funny .. NOT!!

So last night Charlie decided at 8:20 it was time for everyone to got to bed, well I had just opened a Smirnoff Ice so I told them to go on and I would be in shortly. I thought that would also be a nice time to enjoy some BBQ Frito's (brought them back from MI since I can find them here in MO and since I am dieting I picked up these little sauce cups at Walmart and that is the serving size I use for junk food!). Well I must of been dreaming because I thought they would go to bed and I could enjoy my drink, snack and watch CSI. Not 2 minutes later I hear Charlie coming down the hall and I hear Chaz saying "come to bed Booger" I yell out "I told you I would be in shortly". Well Charlie comes out question's what am I drinking .... after be told no he can't have any it a Mommy and Daddy drink he heads back down the hall where he stops at the bedroom door turns back and calls to me "come to bed Booger" , "come on Booger" I can hear Chaz laughing from the bedroom... this is not funny!!

P.S. I went to get some picture's of Charlie dressing him self with his shorts on his head but once i got the camera out he decided it was time to stop messing around... darn!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY RYAN!!
