2 week appointment

  

Cache is already growing.  I just wish they would stay small a little longer.  He weighed in at 8 lb. and is 20 1/2 inches long.  Usually they hope the baby has regained birth weight by 2 wks.  Well, we left the hospital at 6 lb. 9 oz.  He is a sweetheart.  However he is quite squeaky.  He squeaks all night long, and most of the day.    Just likes to be heard, I guess.  We sure love our little guy!

President Hinckley

I really enjoyed this tribute about Pres. Hinckley from Glenn Beck.  President Hinckley was a wonderful example, and stood for something.  This world needs more people like him.

All the kids just love having a new baby around.  Poor guy doesn't get a second to be put down.  The only safety he has is when he is eating, and Porter is working on a plan to help him drink from a cup so everyone can feed him.  So we'll see what he comes up with. 

I try and let the kids love cache and hold him as much as possible, so that I don't create a mental barrier for them that the baby is off limits.  But sometimes a baby needs a break.   

I have finally got the camera out and taken a few pictures of the way the kids play with him, as well as the way they leave him when they get side tracked.  I will have to get more pictures cause this is a daily event, and pretty funny, as long as I find the baby.  

Never enough pictures

Cache Brett Cragun

Sorry so long in the making.  A few technical difficulties.  However our Beautiful baby boy has arrived.  January 15th ... 11:19 am  ... 7 lb. 0 oz. ...  19 1/2 in. long ...  

All went well  during the c-section despite all my anxiety.  Thank you all for your notes of encouragement, they truly helped.  Here are a few pictures of our little sweetie!  The kids all love him, and we joke that we will have to hide him on a shelf, to avoid mauling.  

Baby Cragun #4

We are getting prepared for the new little guy to arrive.  We have had a bit of a twist put on our plan because of a few little complications.  I will be having a c-section, which has been a mental throw for me since I have the greatest easiest delivery's ever.  However, it makes me realize how easy I have had it.  Regardless of the avenue, we expect a new healthy baby next week.   The kids are counting down the days, and really looking forward to a new little brother.  I will get some baby pictures up after he arrives.  Wish us luck.

Brief Christmas

So, I keep putting off blogging and thinking I will get christmas posted.  Well, I will post a few pix and just know we had a great christmas.  We Enjoyed the morning at our house.  Then we went down to Grammy and Papa's for a fab breakfast, and they showered us with christmas gifts.  Then we went out to Grandma Craguns and the kids played and opened gifts.  Then we came home and headed up to my parents Condo for a long weekend!  It was a great time.  Holiday and family is what it's all about.

Christmas eve...

Wow, I have over 200 pictures from christmas, so I will try and give you the summarized version.  Christmas eve, we had a yummy dinner, or crab, shrimp, veggies, fruit... etc.  Then decorated cookies for santa, then read the night before christmas, and finished in Luke, along with our little set of stuffed nativity to bring it to life.

Skiing

Since I am Out of commission for a bit, Trent has been a trooper about taking the boys skiing.  He takes them one at a time, and they have really had a great time.  It is also special time with daddy!  A couple pix from last weekends Fri./Sat., ski trips.
