Welcome Kason Wyatt

Well last Thursday September 10, I went in to L&D after having some pretty strong contractions all night long. It was Kolton's second day of school, so we decided I would drive myself to the hospital, and Dustin would get Kolton up and ready for school. So around 7:15 I checked into observation, and to my suprise, I was starting to dilate. After expecting to be sent back home, my doctor came in and told me I had two options 1. go home and come back on Saturday for a c-section or 2. schedule the section for around 12 that day. As ready as I was, we decided to go ahead and schedule for that afternoon. Dustin made his way up to the hospital, and we began making phone calls to let everyone know. We had Jodie pick Kolton up after school, and bring him up to the hospital. When he walked into the room, and heard the monitor he got very excited to hear his little brothers heartbeat. We then began explaining to him that he was going to get to meet his baby brother in just a few short hours. He got even more excited. After a few delays, we finally got into the OR around 130pm.





























Then after what seemed to take forever, we heard the cries of our sweet little boy at 2:58pm. Kason Wyatt came out screaming and crying (much more then Kolton ever did). He weighed in at 9lbs 11oz and 19inches long. Those numbers sounded so little to me after Kolton. After getting him all cleaned up and checked out, I finally got to see and hold him. Another miracle from God and he was finally here. As with Kolton, I had some minor complications coming out of surgery and had to be given some extra medications which sad to say knocked me out for several hours. I am even more sad to say that I don't recall much of those hours shortly after Kason was born, including his first bath, Kolton's first time seeing and holding him, and many family members coming in to see him for the first time. Fourtunatly Dustin got most everything on video. By Friday morning, I was feeling better, and really got to enjoy Kolton and Kason together. Kolton has blown us away with his eagerness to help, and take care of Kason. He is so over protective of Kason, and can't stand to hear him cry. Kason is a great baby. I have to wake him up to feed and the only time he cries, is when he is not wrapped up or if he is getting his diaper changed. I do think I lucked out and got a baby that favors me more then Dustin this time, although he does look a lot like Kolton. He is now a week old, I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Seems like just yesterday I was waddling around praying he would come early. I will try to post more pictures and hopefully some video soon.

Family Pictures

Before the baby comes, I wanted to get some family pictures done. I was hoping to do this sometime back in June or July, but time just got away from me. Dustin was kind enough to surprise me for my birthday last week and schedule for us to have some done. Although I was not that thrilled about having my picture taken while being 9 months pregnant, we did get a couple of good shots, so I thought I would share.






























As far as a baby update, I am now 37 weeks and 2 days. I would love to say we have scheduled our c-section but we have not made it that far yet. I am down to weekly doctor visits, and each week we get told lets wait one more week and see if anything is happening. We will not be doing anymore ultrasounds so as far as the growth of the baby, we don't know just how big he is...just that we are expecting another big boy who may very likely give Kolton a run for his money on the weight when he does finally arrive. As far as I am concerned, this baby can't come soon enough but I just have to keep telling myself God will bless us with our newest addition when the time is right.


Kolton is getting very excited. He says he is ready to meet his little brother and hold him. As you can see in this picture, he loves to hug his brother. I only hope the excitment doesn't disappear when he realizes that the baby will be staying here permanently. I truly feel he will step right into the big brother role without a hitch.






Next week Kolton starts school...if his orientation today is any sign of how he will transition, we have no worries. After we left him in the room with the teachers for a couple hours, I was expecting to return to a screaming Kolton, and to be told he cried the entire time. Much to my surprise, we got 2 thumbs up from both teachers and was told he didn't cry a single tear. When we walked into the room, he was sitting at the table with his fellow students eating a snack. He simply looked up at Dustin and I and said "hi mommy, hi daddy I'm eating snack" then proceeded to tell us about the picture he painted. He is just showing me more each day how much he is growing up and I could not be more proud of my little boy. I will be posting again after his first day next week with pictures.

Love to you all...
