First Bath

We gave Bruce his first bath tonight. He did not like it one bit. It was so sad that we just had to laugh. Dylann didn't know what to do either. We told her to go get his binkey and she went and got his blanky. That didn't work out for us very well.

After words, he was so happy to finally be wrapped up in his towel.
Dylann was such a big help, she was mad when we took him out, she kept saying "baby tub, baby tub" (she still wont call him anything other than baby)

Disney on Ice

Danny took Dylann to Disney on Ice, she had so much fun. He took her on a daddy daughter date. Dylann was a little spoiled, she got a t-shirt, a wand (she calls it Abby as in abby cadabby, from sesame street). They said it was so cool, that we all have to go together as a family next year.

Dylann enjoying her popcorn, she is so spoiled, but what can you do when when you love your little girl so much.

My Crazy Life with 2

Life with 2 has changed everything, and I love it. We went to get induced on Friday the 19th, they started the inducement at 12:30, I started pushing at 8:15 and Bruce Wayne Palmer was born at 8:38. We are so happy that he is here and that everything went well. After the whole delivery I was so shocked, I can't believe that was so easy. I mean don't get me wrong childbirth is hard, but compared to Dylann, this was a peace of cake, I was able to enjoy the whole thing, I was able to hold Bruce right after he came out, and I was able to start nursing soon after. I was able to have him in my room the whole time. I was able to hold him as much as I wanted. A much more enjoyable experience than having your baby being rushed off the the NICU right after she is born and then not being able to hold her for 2 days, and then only being able to hold her when she eats.Our first family picture
Dylann was so funny with the baby. She was so happy to have Bruce here. She wanted to hold him and she kept giving him kisses it was the sweetest thing in the world. She got really mad when it was my moms turn to hold Bruce...

My mom and Bruce, you can see in the back round Dylann throwing a fit, She was so mad when my mom took the baby, she was yelling at my mom, saying "mommy hold baby, Dylann hold baby, no Nana, no Nana. Mommy hold baby." It was so funny. She got up right in my moms face we finally had to step in, even though we couldn't stop laughing.
At home with Baby Bruce, Dylann loving it up. She always wants to hold him. She wont call him Bruce, she will only call him baby, or if we say something she will call him baby Bruce, never just Bruce.

First day home by myself. Dylann still loving Bruce.

She is now starting to get mad at me and she is trying to push the limits, trying to see what she can get away with. Even though she still doesn't get away with much. We are loving every minute of this new life. We are so happy that Bruce is here in our life. He is such a great eater, and sleeper. He sleeps for about 3 hours at a time at night. I am so lucky. I will post more pictures soon.

Say hello to Brucey

This is Danny Meryn's husband. Well our little boy is finally here, he arrived Fri. Feb. 19 at 8:30 pm. Meryn was wonderful, she did a wonderful job. I'm happy that both of them are doing well and are healthy. I have an amazing wife, she means the world to me, she is a great mother and wife and she is only going to get better. Meryn is my best friend and my eternal partner. Dylann is very excited, she is a little over joyed but is loving every minute. There will be more updates when meryn gets a chance.

We are ready!!

I am totally ready for this baby to come. We have everything done. I have been trying to get all of my little projects done. Well everything is completely DONE. Now all we have to do is wait. We have all the clothes in drawers, the sheets on the bed, and the hospital bag packed. I have also finished all of my crafts I have been working on. I am so happy with how they turned out. So I don't know if I have told everyone what we are naming the baby, but now you know...

I wrote the letters out, and Danny cut them out of wood. He is so amazing. the letters have little car buttons on them. We just cut off the back part so they will lay flat. These were a last minute idea. We wanted something more for the baby's room, I am really happy with how they turned out. This one was a really last minute thing, I finished it last night. I just cut the letters out on a cricket. This is for Dylanns room, and she is so happy with the stars.

So I think we are all ready for this baby to come. This pic is of me at 38 weeks, the longest I have been pregnant. We find out on this up coming Monday when I am getting induced. Lets hope it is soon. We are so ready to meet this little guy.

Pregnancy update!!

As of today I have now been pregnant for 6 weeks longer than I was with Dylann!!!

This part of pregnancy is a whole new ball game for me. With all the aches and pains. Not being able to see my feet, and don't even get me started how big my belly is. Its bigger than my boobs, never in my life have I had anything bigger than my boobs. (sorry guys reading this) I have been hoping and praying that I will have this baby soon, I just so uncomfortable. I really don't like to complain about this b/c it could and was worse the first time.

I had Dylann at 32 weeks. I had toxemia. It was really hard to leave her at the hospital for 3 weeks after she was born. Not to mention I was in the hospital myself for a week before she came. I am so lucky that we didn't get toxemia again. The doctors say that it just happens, there is really no rime or reason why some people get it and others don't. When you get it your first time, there is a good chance that you can get it for the next ones too. Luckily we didn't have to face that problem again. Thank you so much.

My sister just told me that there are a lot of people that just go into labor when the weather is bad, its called the barometric pressure, (can't spell it right). So bring in on snow, I am ready for this baby to come.

BRING IT ON!

Fun in the Snow!!!

It has been snowing non stop all day today. Last time it snowed Dylann had so much fun we had to do it again. (I am not a huge snow fan) It took forever to get Dylann all dressed b/c she was mad that we took off all her princess clothes. Once she got outside it was a totally different story. She was in heaven. Helping daddy make a snow man, She was trying to walk in the snow with her friend, but she kept falling down it was really cute. the finished product. She was so happy with how it turned out. after with her hot chocolate.Dylann loves to play in the snow, when ever we go outside she calls the snow "snowman", instead of just snow.
