Nixon's Homecoming

We are so blessed to have a great group of friends that live near since all of our family live out of state. In the first few weeks home we had a steady flow of people wanting to meet our new little addition. Everyone always gets so excited for a cute little baby!! Most of our friends are in the same "phase" of life as we are so it was also fun to see the way all their kids reacted to the baby.

Nixon is Here // While Mom and Dad Were Away

He's Here!!! Baby Nixon Renick Blosser is Here!!

After talking things over with my doctor he understood my need to induce labor. It made me feel alot better to have a plan in place for someone to fly in town to care for Xzavier and Lennox while Trevor and I stayed in the Hospital. We were lucky enough to have Trevor's Mother "GJ" and his Aunt Cheryl fly in and stay at the house with the boys, this way their routine was not interrupted much at all. The last thing I wanted was for them to feel like they were shuffled off and that the new baby was taking precedence over them. Well, I am glad to report my plan worked and I don't think they even noticed that we were gone. They had so much fun with GJ and Aunt Cheryl, doing painting and coloring projects, also playing outside and building train tracks.


Thank you guys so much for putting your lives on hold for a few days to come down and help us out. We really appreciate everything you guys did when you were here from feeding and playing with the boys to taking care of me when I got home from the hospital. It was so nice to have a Welcome Committee when we got home. I know Nixon Really Appreciated it. We love you guys so Much!!

Nixon is Here // At the Hospital

Happy Birthday, Nixon Renick Blosser!!

July 17 at 5pm I was checked into the hospital. After some paperwork I got all hooked up and we settled in for the night. Contractions started and only got stronger as the night progressed, I didn't get much sleep but don't worry I was so excited I probably couldn't sleep anyways. By 8am the next morning I was ready for my epidural and thank goodness because by the time Dr Marks came in at 8:30am I was 9cm dilated and ready to push. It was only a few short contractions and pushes and by 9:35 Nixon was born. 7/18/2012, 7'14 and 21 1/2 inches long... It was another amazing experience, my eyes were tearing and I was filled with excitement and the most love I've ever felt.  Its a feeling that a mother can only try to explain but the love and compassion I feel for each of my children is such that I can't find the words. We are so blessed to have the most perfect family, I don't know what I would do with out my Boys!!!

Here we go! Mease Countryside Hospital

Carmela and Taryn stopped by on their way home. My Friend, Carmela and I had the babies on the same day an hour and a half apart. Small world and so glad it happened, we've been able to lean on each other since we are going through the same exact things. We joke that we should have left our men with the other boys and shacked up somewhere with the babies for a few months.
