What did I do when???

I often find myself thinking what did I do when Sophie was a baby or what did I do with all my time before I had kids and all this stuff to do all.the.time.

Jonas Brothers in a Whale??

The kids and I were telling bible stories the other night. I told the kids about Jonah and the whale.
Sophie~oh I totally know the Jonas Brothers.
Me~ No honey, I am not talking about the Disney channel, I'm talking about the Bible.
Henry~ Why did Jesus get in the whale.
Me~ No, not Jesus...Jonah.
Henry~ after a long pause...What kind of tool would you use to get out of a whale?

Sophie goes to school!!

Kindergarten!!!

How did this happen? I swear I am not old enough and neither is Sophie. Wow, I feel OLD. She was so excited she asked for months how many more days. She changed outfits and shoes, packed her backpack and unpacked several times.

The morning of she was up before 6 and ready to go. We got ready and dropped of Henry and Lucy and Grandmas!

Then she and I headed to school. I thought she would explode she could hardly stand the excitement.

Henry and I headed to the bus to wait for her. As I stood there I watched the bus head down the hill. My cell rang and it was the school. They wondered where I was. Somehow they missed getting Sophie on the bus. When I got to the school she was just hanging out with the office ladies.

She proceeded to tell me that she got tooooo sweaty on the playground and would like to wear flip flops from now on, the principal was scary and you CAN NOT talk in the hall.

She was so tired and worn out from all the excitement that she mistook the end of Henry's bed for the potty in the middle of the night. I am sure she'll love that I took note of that one, some day.

Tomorrow I take Henry for his very first day of Preschool.

Lucy is here!! July 18, 2009!!!

I had 2 more days to plan and get ready. I am use to c-sections where you roll in with makeup and hair done. You have everything ready and organized. It is more my personality. Well Lucy had different plans. It was truly fitting for the whole pregnancy with her. I just KNEW my dates were wrong. No one would listen and would NOT budge on her delivery date.
So it was Saturday. Sophie, Megan and I were getting pedicures. All of a sudden I thought I was going to die. I will spare the details as to not scar my posterity of reading this in the future.
This was at 11:45ish. By 1 I was in the hospital with contractions. I have never really had these and thought I WOULD DIE!!!!! They decided she was ready to come and 30 minutes later I was heading back for a c-section. It was a long and rough surgery but she finally made it out.
She was purple and having a hard time. After one quick glance at her they carted her off to the NICU. It was almost 3 hours before I got to see her. When I did it made all of the last 39 weeks worth it. It was a LONG 39 weeks.

Meet Lucy Ray Eastman July 18, 2009

9 lbs 21 inches

We moved, Amazing baby shower, Lucy arrived and KINDERGARTEN!!!

Time to catch up. We moved into our new house finally. We stayed with Scott and Britney for 2 weeks while we waited. That was a chaotic fun time. Then we moved into our house...RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Grandma and Papa. I was VERY pregnant and sick. It was quit a process.
I ended up with tons of complications in the pregnancy and even ended up wearing a heart monitor. That was fun!
While we were moving my friend Nichole gave me the MOST incredible baby shower you have ever seen. Every detail was there. She missed NOTHING!!!
Catered food to favors, t-shirts for the kids, slide show of my baby book, me in every frame, virtual wall for those who could not make it, custom pencils for the games, matted game board(no one wants to write on their leg), a vegan menu for the ONE vegan there, all my favorite candies in dishes, prizes in honor of me, a video of and the kids answering questions, the best food and cake, a memory book with every picture and even the prep lists, custom party favors for the guests and to take home to their kids. I could go on all day. She is truly amazing and I have never felt so loved!!











































Truly was an amazing day...Thank you, Nichole. Love ya!

we are ALIVE!!!!

We have a baby and so many other things to share. Updating TONIGHT!!!
