the boys

Here are a few recent pictures of Landon and Laine. Laine is changing everyday. I just can't believe how blessed we are. Our family really feels complete. We have two wonderful little boys.

My Boys

Laine is 12 days old today. He is doing great. He goes to the doctor tomorrow for a weight check because he hadn't gained any weight since his he left the hospital. So im crossing my fingers that he has put on some weight. We will get to take back the billy light tomorrow for his jaundice too. That is kinda a pain to keep him hooked up to a machine all the time. We went to visit my mom and dad in Stanford yesterday. It was my first outing alone with my two boys. It went well. My brother Justin is home on spring break, but had his tonsils out. So he isnt enjoying spring break all that much.

Landon is really starting to adjust to the fact that Laine is here to stay. He wants to hold him as soon as he gets up, and he gives him toys all the time. He hasnt quite figured out that he is to small to play with them yet. But before I know it they will be playing together.

One Week Old

Laine is one week old today. We took him in to the doctor this morning for a weight check and to check his jaundice. He still has jaundice, but its going down. We have to keep in on the UV Billy Blanket but not as much. He hasn't gained any weight since we left the hospital so now we might have to start giving him a bottle too. Other than that he is doing great. He sleeps most the night only waking up once or twice and sleeping till at least 7 am, so wow that is nice. Landon is working on the adjustment. He loves his brother very much and thinks he is pretty cute, but when mom is busy feeding Laine, Landon has a hard time understanding that I cant just jump up anymore. But He is such a big help, bringing me diapers, and helping change and dress him. We are so blessed.

Laine Thomas

Laine Thomas is here! He came three weeks early to our surprise. But what a wonderful surprise. He was born Friday March 20th at 5:33 p.m. He weighed 7bls 9oz. and was 21 in. long. My delivery went well. Didn't take to long at all. Shawn and Kristi were in there with me. And what good support they both were. My mom and dad had Landon but were in Lewistown ready to meet Laine. Landon wanted to hold him right away. And he says he just loves his baby brother. He thinks his name is "Laine Thomas the Train" which is pretty cute. We just got home this afternoon. Its so nice to be home. Landon is still with my mom and dad. He is coming home tomorrow, so we will have our whole family together! I feel so blessed to have two beautiful boys. I just couldn't be happier. I will post more pics soon.

Birthday Girl...

Yesterday was my birthday. Im the big 26 now. On Tuesday night we went out to Kristi and Tim's for a St. Patty's dinner. It was wonderful. Of course someone said something about my birthday being the next day so they had to sing to me. Thanks guys! Then yesterday Landon and I went to Stanford for lunch and cake with my mom and dad. Landon got to go story hour and enjoyed that very much. It was a nice day spent with mom and dad. Then we came home for dinner at my inlaws. Shawns mom wanted to make me dinner, so I didnt say no! She got me some beautiful flowers and made some wonderful chocolate covers strawberrys! YUM YUM! It was a very nice birthday thanks to my wonderful family and friends!

New Camera

Shawn and Landon gave me my birthday present early. I have wanted a new camera for quite some time. I told Shawn before the baby comes would be a perfect time for a new camera... :) haha! So he pulled through like a trooper, and got me a sweet new Canon Powershot. I love it. Here are some pics I have taken. Just wanted to share.
