Happy Halloween

Lilly and Brian carving pumpkins. Sorry not sure what happen to Lilly's pants.

Thank you Kaiser Hospital for our drop cloths for the pumpkins.

Well, I never thought that I would be taking a week old out trick-or-treating. But, we manged to get out for Lilly's sake. Jackson was sleeping the whole time. Thank goodness.Lilly really got into trick-or-treating this year. She wanted to keep going but I could only walk so far. We had a good time and she looked so cute.



Our little Tinkerbell.
Last stop Grammys house. Thank you mom for making Lilly's costume.

He made it!

It was worth the wait. Jackson Robert Weir was born on Sunday the 25Th @ 12:28 am. Weighing in at 8lbs. 7oz and 21 1/2 inches long. Well now I guess I get to re-cap my fun labor story. So, here we go.

Saturday I woke up to some mild contractions. We started timing them and they were about 5 mins. apart. So about 1p.m. we headed to the hospital. Only to find out that I was still only at 2cm and 80%. The doctor told me that the contractions needed to get a lot stronger. GREAT! So back home we went and waited. And the contractions got a lot stronger. (this is what the doc. was talking about.) At 6:30p.m. we left to go back to the hospital. And thank goodness I was at a 4. I told the doctor (the same one who sent us home) now I know what you ment when you told me the contractions needed to be stronger. All I have to say is epidural PLEASE! Now things moved a lot faster:

7:30 p.m. all checked in to labor and delivery room.

8:30 p.m. getting my epidural :)

9:30 p.m. dilated at 7cm

11:30 p.m. now at a 10 and ready to push...and that I did. Our baby boy was born at 12:28 a.m.

Already trying to be a tough guy.

Look at those feet. When they were getting his footprint his toes went off the ink pad.

Grandma and Jackson.

Aimee and Jenni making me laugh so hard.

This is our "Celebratory Meal." It was very nice.

Brian enjoying a glass of sparkling cider.

Jackson had jaundice in the hospital. We had to stay an extra day. He had to have this light blanket on him 24/7. I called him my little glow worm (his first Halloween costume.)
But, he is fine now.

Lilly meeting her baby brother for the first time. Due to the lovely swine flu they don't allow any kids under the age of 14 in the hospital to visit. Lilly was so excited. She waited a long time to meet him.

We are so blessed to have Jackson join our family. Thank you everyone for all your help. Now let the fun begin.

Perfect baking weather

Lilly has been wanting to make cookies for a while....tonight was a perfect cool night. I am just loving this fall weather.

Waiting to make cookies.

Lilly LOVES hugging my belly :)

Baby shower

A few friends from church had a baby shower for our little guy. It was perfect. Lots of yummy food, good conversation, good company and lots of cute little boy things. I had a great time. Thanks Stacey for taking some pictures.

Loved the centerpieces.

Got to have chocolate....Aimee didn't hold back.

Lot's of fun little boy things.

Aimee, me and Stacey....missed you Caryn and Jenni.

And a very BIG thank you to these beautiful gals. It's great to have friends like you. Thanks again.

Last Disneyland trip....

....well for a while. From past post you know that Lilly LOVES Tinkerbell. And Lilly loves taking pictures every chance she gets (not sure if that's a good thing.)

One of her favorites....Silvermist.

They were in a very deep conversation.

Here are just a few of Lilly's pictures that day.



I only got asked 4 times if I was having twins....got to love that comment.

As we were leaving Lilly spotted Minnie in her Halloween costume. She kept tell me "mom.... Minnie is a nice witch."
