Happy 2nd Birthday Davin


I remember it was a Friday.  The whole day I was feeling pain here and there.  I was only 3.5 weeks to 40 weeks.  I should have known he would make an early like his big brother.  I was nesting like a mad woman and a few days before I was arranging Davin's closet and getting things ready.  I decided to have a late lunch with my cousin at my aunt's restaurant.  That was where I was really feeling light contractions and by dinner time I was feeling strong contractions.  For me giving birth was like riding a bike, I was aware of what was happening.  I knew he was coming early, I was cleaning the bathroom and bonding with big brother Kingston.  Ned was getting mad at me for being so calm, I even yelled at him for bugging me, but when I was finally at 5 minutes apart he wasn't going to wait anymore and I wasn't either.  We were off to the hospital at 10pm and Davin arrived 2:33am.  I'll save you the gory details but what they had to do because the placenta decided not to come out.  FYI: it was more painful then the actually pushing and contractions.

Easter Egg Hunt

...and there off...This was Easter Sunday with the grandparents. They were able to find most of the eggs without help. We had a nice breakfast and had a early afternoon egg hunt. Then we were off to hang with my family for my niece's 13th birthday. It was a busy long but most definitely fun filled day.

Spring Clean Series: Yard Work

I've got my little "helpers". I didn't have anyone to watch the boys this beautiful sunny day so I said a prayer and hoped I could get some weeding done. I got about 30 minutes in until the weeding became, "shoes covered in dirt". I'm in the processing of leveling the yard so I can lay the garden bed down and plan so veggies for this summer. Ever since the boys explored their grandparents vegetable garden, they wanted to have their own. Honestly, I think the boys just love being outside and playing in dirt. What toddler doesn't.

I grew some yummy veggies last year just on the ground it was fine, the garden beds are so much more attractive. Hopefully, I can get most things planted by the end of this month. I'm still quite busy making my own decorations for Davin's 2nd birthday party this Sunday. I'll keep you posted.
