Luke Thomas








My water broke (in the car) at 8:45 p.m. Sunday night and 4 hours later Luke was born Monday morning at 12:33 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. My labor was so fast that it was all natural...not by choice I was begging for drugs but was not granted my wish. We came home yesterday and are all happy and well. Lei is adjusting good so far. She asks to hold him a few times a day and has gotten upset only once when he was crying.

Shayla for a week




So last week Shayla came and spent it with us! Lei and her had soo much fun. I felt like I had a nanny for the week. We went to the zoo, farmer's market, got pedicures, and lots more. At night Jord and I went and painted and cleaned one of the apartments that had moved...totally not planned her being here that same week but I don't know what we would have done with out her at night. We would have had to gone over to the apt. in shifts and it would have taken so much longer. It ended being the apt. from hell. I truly think it was cursed and everything that could have gone wrong did. Saturday it was finished and we thought we would have a break...but something else broke. A pipe in the foundation of another apt. so we were up all night with plumbers...then another apt. moved out early and it is so disgusting!! We don't have to paint this one but we do have to clean it, and seriously how to people live in such filth! This is coming from a messy person too. I think it will take us 20 hours to clean it. Anyway that is all my venting. I think our lives are going to be like this for another 6 weeks...but then I guess we will be adding another one to our family so maybe it will be busy/hectic for longer.
