One week old

During the day, this boy is the perfect angel but in the middle of the night when I'm exhausted this is what I get to deal with. He has gotten much better, ever since he's been on the bili light which was Friday evening, he's been sleeping really good. The only bad thing is I'm supposed to wake him up every 2 hrs to feed and he doesn't like it one bit.

One week ago, my water broke while I was taking these two munchkins to our local swimming pool. It was the first day the pool opened. We were only there for a few minutes and both managed to give me a scare and almost drown themselves. Today their auntie Nok took them to the pool and they were super excited. Kenzie's been asking me to take her daily.

LYB Mini album

Purchased this Little Yellow Bicycle mini album from TSR a couple months ago and just finished putting it together.

Life w/ Baby

I forget about the recovery time, been taking lots of ibuprofen and using the hot water pad. Was hoping my kids would go to grandma's house so I can rest but they both refuse to go and have been home all week. Paxton hates diaper changes, he screams his head off everytime and it's usually around midnight and 4am. We took him in to the pediatrician yesterday and he's dropped almost a pound which is more than average I was advised to supplement his feedings with formula until my milk comes in. Well, I don't think I'll have to wait long because I'm hurting pretty bad today. Both my kids had jaundice and Pax is very close to borderline. The blood work from his bili yesterday was at 13.7 which was low enough to not require him to be under the light but the doc wants us to bring him in tomorrow to get tested again since day 5 is usually the peak.

Chislom Nature Trail

Wanted to take some pictures so I bribed the kids and told them we were going to a new park. Only thing, there's no playground here, just a nature walking trail. Lam and I used to come here all the time when we were back in college. I did tell Micah there was going to be a bridge with fishes and that got him excited.

Kenzie telling me that they were beating us and I needed to hurry up


Trying to find the fishes

The countdown is on

I'm getting closer to Dday so I've been trying to get in some scrappin time cuz after the baby is here I"m sure free time will be naptime for me.

May TSR Kit

I love the scrap-room kits, they are just the perfect size and variety!
American Crafts Craft Fair was my favorite this month...aren't the owls too cute?

Mother's Day

Hope all you moms had a wonderful mother's day. I spent the entire Sunday at my moms. My aunt invited us over to dinner at 5pm but as soon as we got home from church Micah started crying cuz he wanted to go to Ba Ngoai's house so I ended up taking them over there early and we stayed all day. While Micah took his afternoon nap I took Kenzie out on the front lawn for pics...she's a poser I tell ya.



My mom made me a strawberry/kiwi cake and the kids wanted to blow candles.


My first pedicure...Kenzie's first manicure. Lam has a friend that just opened up a salon so we got these treatments complimentary on the house. If I knew if felt this good, i would go more often. Yet I hate spending money on this type of stuff...would rather splurge on a new scrapbooking kit :) Sketch from inspired blueprints.


This is totally a staged laugh but you can't even tell...she's that good at faking facial expressions.

T&D Wedding

This is Micah all dressed up for the funeral a few weeks ago, uncle Alex nicknamed him Ninja turtle cuz he's always showing off his fighting skills.


Kenzie always gets the comment that she looks like either Dora, Mulan, or Lilo.


Went to my friend's wedding this weekend. My mom made the cake. Doesn't the fruit bar look so yummy?

Nursery

Only 3 weeks left to go and I'm just now thinking of repainting Makenzie's room into a nursery for baby Amphone. Just saw these at roomzaar.com and I love the color scheme and paper lanterns they used.

Look at these cool wall vinyls too. If you have any cool decorating ideas please share.

NSD

This weekend was National Scrapbooking Day, I took the kids with me to the scrapbook store for the free make-n-takes which included the layout below. Uncle Joe burned twilight onto a dvd for them so they watch it like everyday. And Kenzie wanted her picture taken with Edward since the they have a cardboard cutout of him displayed in the store. Yes, they are both obssessed. Over easter during the egg hunt Kenzie would just pick out the twizzlers because there is a scene in the movie where Bella eats them and then last weekend when I took the kids with me to the hair salon and spent 2 hours there for my color, a lady asked Micah what his name was and he answered "Jasper", another character in the movie for those of you who are not twilight fans. He said it so matter of factly, no laughing or kidding. And I tried to correct him and said, no it's not and he insisted that was his name.


Kenzie picked out some doggy stickers and since we don't have any pets, she wanted to take pictures w/ her puppies for a layout.
