Lazy Sunday

We have really had a stressful last two weeks. And on Sunday we tried really hard to get to church on time (Even at 12:30, with two kids, its hard.) But when we get to church, no one is there. Come to find out, the meeting was moved to 10:30 and the whole stake met to hear a general authority speak. Man, where was I on that one? I was at church last sunday, and I don't remember hearing that. I was pretty disappointed that we missed it, but we went home and just relaxed. Hazen and I played outside. Hazen loved seeing these new little daffodils, and gave them kisses. The neighbors cat wouldn't let us fly our kite, because the kite tail was too tempting. Jevan even came out for a bit. It was nice to slow down for a day before all the stress and uncertainty hit us again on Monday.

New Baby!

Wow! The last four weeks have gone by so fast!!! I still can't believe I am a mother of two and I have had the second one for a month now! Lets start Dec. 23rd at 6:00 am. Induction started, 9:30 am epidural, sleep till 2:30 pm when its time to start pushing. 2:59 pm, after 4 pushes, baby Jevan Raider May is newest member of the May family! It was a great delivery and we got to go home the next day and have christmas eve, and christmas day together! Bill and Shauna were here for christmas and to help with the new addition. They were great to take hazen on lots of outings while I stayed home and slept with Jevan. Jevan is a good baby. He is sweet and loves to cuddle. Cries when he needs something and poops a lot! He is really aware and wide eyed when he is awake. Truly a blessing to our family. Hazen is doing good. He sings mary had a little lamb to Jevan whenever he cries and really likes to help with jevans bathtime. He always says, "Jevan is a little lamb." and likes to name all the people in our family and add jevan at the end! He did forget he was potty trained for a day, and ran jevan over with a monster truck, but his loving dad disciplied him and he has been fine since. So we got snow christmas eve and hazen and jed built a monter truck ramp out of snow. Christmas was honestly very peaceful and wonderful. We had a fire, ate prime rib, and hazen patiently waited for his turn to open presents. After the may's left I was on my own for a few days, and then my parents came to help. They were brave enough to watch the boys while I flew to ohio for one of jed's interviews for residency. We were only gone for 2 days, and Jevan did great taking a bottle and still nursed when I returned. He's pretty easy going. Ohio was beautiful with lots of snow. A nice little get away. After the interview we got to go out on an actual date to a fancy dinner and a movie. I was anxious to get home though. We returned home to happy kids and my exhausted parents and spent the next few days relaxing and playing. Hazen had his 3rd birthday with a monster truck on his cake. Nothing big, but I hope he felt special. Now, I am just trying to keep things going smoothly and two little ones happy. But Jevan is sleeping well, sometimes 4 hours at night. And Hazen is pretty patient and can entertain himself when needed so we are doing good. Jed finishes a rotation in SICU this month and starts neurology in February. We are just anxiously waiting for the match in march!

Nothing yet!

Jed moved home from Galveston on Sunday and we have been happy ever since. We have been very busy putting up christmas decorations, going shopping for gifts, wrapping gifts, making christmas candy, and visiting friends. Jed and I even went on a date! I am still working, and haven't really been feeling anything. A few contractions here and there. On Tues I was dialated to a 1 (yay:( I am getting induced on Wed. the 23rd if he doesn't come before that. Shauna May is coming on Sunday so we are ready with help (thank goodness!) So hopefully I will go into labor SOON!! I am ready! So I will post pictures soon of the nursery, jed's live christmas tree he found for 15$ (it is huge), and the new little one! No name yet. Still fighting that one out.

Merry christmas to all!

A little Depressed

I have no pictures, because I have no camera. Where did it go? I looked everywhere. I feel like this growing baby is zapping all my energy. I can't do anything productive. Hazen thinks I'm lame. I sleep a total of 4 hours a night total, mostly waking up every 30 minutes to turn over or readjust higher onto my mountain of pillows to try to keep the heartburn down, or go pee, ect. I want the baby to come, but wait, my husband is in galveston for two more weeks. I worked at the hospital on Thanksgiving, I killed one of Jed's coral in his tank. All the christmas decorations are stuck in the attic. BUT......

I am thankful that my mother in law could come and help me paint the baby room, it looks great. I have very supportive family. My neighbor threw me a wonderful shower and some of my best friends came. I have a good job that will pay for the baby. I have a hardworking husband that does all that he can to work hard and secure our future. And there are about 30 other corals in the tank that have survived. Hazen is a good boy who has a quick mind and a great memory. I'm healthy.

Why do I complain... I have so much to be grateful for. I hope its just pregnancy hormones that will go away soon......

Halloween!!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. This year we had our second annual party on Halloween night. There were kids running around everywhere! I love cooking the most,and tried to cook spooky appetizers and desserts. We had brain, chocolate covered strawberry ghosts, dracula's fingers, eyeball cupcakes, and the pear witch project. I loved decorating the house and dressing up too. I was a huge pumpkin this year to cover up my big baby belly. No I didn't get a picture of myself, darn. Hazen liked having friends over, except he was pretty shy. He was a good knight with a sword (ie. he didn't wack his friends with the sword.) Thanks to all who came to our spooky party!
