Christmas Pictures!

Santa came to my mom's house on Christmas Eve and brought the little boys kisses and hot chocolate. Orion was a little apprehensive about sitting on his lap though.

His face doesn't show it, but he loves this present (thanks Dad and Christine!) He loves to put it by our computer and use it while Victor or I are on it.
Thanks Meemaw (what he calls my mom) for the Helicopter!

I made Chicago Bears (Victor's football team) blankets for my little boys. This one is Cyrus's, Orion's is a little different.

Christmas Nativity

Every year since I can remember we have acted out the Nativity on the Monday (FHE) night before Christmas. When I was younger it was an extended family affair (Coree I meant to bring home from my moms the pic of when you were Mary, but I forgot :( ) But now that we're older and my mom has tons of kids :) we are able to do it ourselves. I think it was extra special this year because Christmas Eve just happened to be on a Monday.

Orion wouldn't let us take a picture of him in his cute little shepherd's outfit before he stripped out of it, but he was still cute with it half on. Plus he insisted that he wasn't a shepherd, he was Spiderman, and he kept going around and shooting his web at everyone :)

Oh, and my little 15 yr old brother, Chandler, who is newly obsessed with Guitar Hero, brought "the gift of rock" to baby Jesus, instead on muhr (sp??)....if you can't tell, he's holding the Guitar Hero guitar....lol......he really is the comic relief in our family, I don't know what we'd do without him!

More Cyrus Pics!

They brought him to me in this way cute Christmas stocking......what a great present!!

Cyrus is here!!

So, I'm sure you all know that Cyrus was born on Monday :) I was induced at 9:30 in the morning and Cyrus made is appearance at noon :) Yes, he came VERY fast.....so fast that I didn't even have an epidural! I can't believe I survived. He wanted to come out so bad I was screaming at the nurses that I had to push....they insisted I wait for my Dr. but it wasn't happening. So the midwife on call ran in and said "I can catch if you need me to" so they laid me back and said to go ahead and push. I honestly pushed twice and he came into the world! It was more emotional that with Orion, maybe it's because I actually had to work so hard to get him here. I'm glad that I was able to experiance labor and delivery naturally. My plan was to go as long as I could without the epidural.....so I got to a 6 by myself before I asked for it and by the time I had sat up to get it I was freaking out that I had to push....


I hope that doesn't scare any of you to have kids. My sis in law was in the room when I had him and I think that's she's having 2nd thoughts on having kids :) It is SO worth it though you guys!

Orion is doing SO good. I miss him though, he's still with my inlaws, probably until tomorrow. He adores Cyrus and loves holding him and helping him get his binky.

I Officially Hate the Snow....

well, hate is a strong word. Snow is very pretty and I don't mind it as long as we don't have to drive in it. So anyway, we were coming home from WalMart last night and it wasn't snowing alot, but it was really cold so it made the roads very, very slick. The traffic was very stop and go on State Street and we hit a little slippery spot going like 2 miles an hour........so as Victor (he is an awesome snow driver) got control of the car (I totally thought we were going to get mauled by the semi to the side of us) we were hit from behind. We weren't hit very hard so the air bags didn't go off of anything, but it still was scary. Orion was such a big boy and was slightly concerned about being hit but didn't cry.

So we and the car that hit us pulled into an empty parking lot conveniently right there. Just as we were off State St. there was a pretty big head on collision. Ambulances and road flares the whole bit.....so I guess we were lucky to be out of the way.

There is almost no damage to our car, a few scratches where his license plate obviously hit. But it turns out that he know he was going to hit us because he was sliding too.

Haha, so it turns out that as they are chatting about insurance or what not, they figure out that the guys car (he was driving his girlfriends car) is at Steve's shop (where victor works) and has been there being worked on for awhile. So we made some new friends out of this frightening experience......

By Monday Everyone!!

I went to the Dr. yesterday (yeah, going to the Dr. once a week for a month is crazy stuff!) And everything is looking good. I am dilated to a 3....which I guess is progress :) But we scheduled an induction date for Monday if he hasn't been born by then! So, hopefully on Tuesday I won't be pregnant anymore!

So guys, anyday now!

Sleep.....

You'd think with this baby coming so soon that I'd be trying to get all the sleep I can......but the past week or so sleep has been impossible. It's not that I'm exhausted but can't find a comfortable posotion, I'm just flat out not tired. Maybe it's my body preparing itself to be up at random hours during the night.

On the other hand, Victor has been sleeping like a baby. He goes to sleep at like 9:30 and I can't wake him up for anything! Which makes my frightened that I'll have to drive myself to the hospital if I go into labor in the middle of the night :) So, I know I shouldn't be upset or anything, but I'm like jealous that he can sleep so peacefully and I cannot.

Anywho, I go to the Dr. tomorrow and maybe they'll decide to induce me and put me out of my misery.......don't get me wrong, being pregnant is wonderful to a point, but I'm ready to get this kids head out of my pelvis!

Well, good night ya'll.....well, I'm not going to sleep, I'm just going to continue watching my late night TV shows....

Waiting......

So, Cyrus is perfectly on track...not too big, not too little. I guess he's just in a weird position so it makes me seemingly measure big.

Hopefully he will come anyday now! I don't like waiting, I am very impatient!

I'll keep you all updated!
