HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVEN

HaPpY BiRtHdAy AvIe GiRl brian and carly's little girl, my niece, is one years old today. Crazy how time flys bye.

How our days go....

Mom gets me all dressed and cute...

Then this thing they call my brother has to come and help feed me...

But at least he gives me kisses in between whacks!

Then mom thinks Austin needs a head band... Dad wasn't too excited, good thing mom got a picture first...

Waiting for dinner dad and Austin share some grapes...

Austin helps mom make peanut butter cookies for dessert.


Then the big wind down before bed... get all the extra energy out. Dallas and Austin love to wrestle, so almost every night the two of them duke it out for about an hour. Mainly it is Austin climbing all over Dallas ... We have been watching alot of bull riding lately, so Austin thinks Dallas is a bull. It is so funny so watch Austin climb on Dallas and then try to ride him like a bull, hand up all! Its amazing how observant kids are... at any age.

Life is getting easier: Thank goodness. As bedtime rolls around each night, I just pray that Austin will sleep through the night and not be woken up by his sister, and that I will get more than 3hours of sleep! ( man I miss sleep) The last few nights have been great. Austin is usually in bed around 8:30 - 9pm , Paislee isn't that far behind him. She has only gotten up a couple of times just to eat and then fall right back asleep. My ears are quickly adjusting to new baby sounds and I'm not so paranoid about every sound she makes. I'm getting around a lot easier also. It's hard not to be able to play with Austin, as in run around and wrestle with him. I can't even pick him up, which is even harder. But at least we are starting to get back on a schedule... at least most days!

I'm just so stinkin cute. 7 days old.

Mommy and Austin time: Playing bubbles.

One of Austin's favorite things to do. He runs

to the cupboard with the bubbles in it and will

yell bubbles at up until you come. Bubbles even

in the tubby... lots of fun!



Yeah... Bubbles!!

Austin was jumping off his fire truck.. little show off!

Well Dallas went back to work today and I don't know how he did it. Last night was a very long night for our little family. Austin woke up first around midnight, I got up and sat next to his crib patting his back. Then 20 minutes later Paislee woke up, which then re-awoke Austin, so Dallas took Austin and I went into the front room with miss Paislee. From then on Paislee thought she had to nurse every 40 minutes for the next 3 hours, while Austin was in and out of it. It was about 4am when I finally went to sleep on the couch with Paislee in the swinger when Dallas came out to fill up Austin's bottle, which told me Austin was still being a pill. By 6 Dallas was out the door on his way to work... poor daddy. He has been such a trooper since I've been in the hospital and now at home. He has totally taken over night duty with Austin, so thanks hunny!

GOING HOME

All ready to go

After we got her in her car seat she immediately pulled her hands up... she reminded me of a little dog standing on its hind legs! (but she is much cuter than a doggie)

Welcome home little sister

Paislee - Enjoying The Sunlight

We had Paislee sitting in the sun light ( because she is starting to look a little jaundice). She looked so pretty with the sun hitting her just right I had Dallas grab the camera to capture our pretty little girl!

Miss Paislee has arrived!!

Wednesday, February 25, a very long and joyous day for the Jenkinson household. It all began at 3:30 am when I got up to get ready go to the hospital. Dallas had gotten up at about 4 to walk into the bathroom and find me doing my hair and makeup. " what the heck are you doing? Your going to go have a baby not shopping!" I just looked at him and smiled. I just thought, well heck I'm not going to be laboring at all so why can't I looked pretty!? So anywazs, by ten to 5am we were out the door and on our way to the hospital. Once at the hospital we checked in, got dressed down and walked down to the operating room at 7am. I jumped up on the operating table to get preped for a spinal. While the doctors worked on my spinal I watched the tech nurse prep all the surgery tools and get the supplies ready for surgery. Its amazing how many tools are used for one proceedure! Once the spinal was done I had to quickly lay down because my legs got really heavy and I couldn't move... it was amazing how fast it worked. Then, Sharon, my doctor came in and wanted to get going... and she did. In fact I got sick from the spinal drugs and threw up.... Sharon had already started to cut!! I immediatly felt better , but to look over at Dallas, who was sweating and really pale. He quickly got up and went in to a little waiting that is connected to the room, just as Paislee was coming out. A short moment later, Dallas came back in to help get Paislee cleaned up and bring her to me before they went to the nursery for a bath. During this time, we heard someone stumble and "WHACK" the student nurse observing hit the floor and was out! Needless to say it was a very interesting delivery! The only reason Dallas felt queasy was becuase I kept asking him to look, and well he did! After a few hours of recovery and Paislee getting cleaned up in the nursery, Dallas finally brought her in to me and it was the end of a wonderful day.

On the way to the hospital 4:30am
