Our little girl sleeping...that's what newborn's know best!!

Taylor's first bath in her big girl tub. She liked it for a couple of minutes then screamed the rest of the time.

Wesley was such a big boy and really wanted to help Mom give Taylor a bath. He even let her play with his bath toys!!

Wesley & Taylor are both wearing Superman shirts. Patrick likes Superman so I had to buy Taylor a shirt to match Wesley's.

Our Little Taylor Rae is finally here and we couldn't be more happier. She is so much fun and is a really pleasant baby.

My Delivery Story:

At 1:30am on Jan. 24th my water broke while I was sleeping. I was kind of in denial at first but I knew that we needed to go to the hospital. Luckily my Mom was staying with us and my in-laws only live 30 mins away so we knew that everyone was going to be there that needed to. After getting ready we left for the hospital at 2:30. Once arriving to the hospital they hooked me up to monitors and just let me go into labor by myself. The contractions weren't that bad at first but within a couple of hours they were really intense. Towards the end it's really a big blur but I remember thinking I can't wait until this is over because of the pain.

Finally Taylor Rae Walton was born at 7:09am and she was 8 pounds and 20 inches long. We were both so excited when we found out that we were had a little girl.

{Proud Mommy & Daddy:}
Patrick was really excited that he got his little girl. He's a great dad to Wesley and I know that he will be a great Dad for Taylor too.

{A Visit From Our Big Brother Wesley:}
One of our first visitors was our Little Wesley. He didn't really want to have anything to do with Taylor in the hospital. I Loved seeing Wesley again because I missed him so much. Right before we left to go to the hospital I went into his room and gave him a kiss and I couldn't stop crying. It was so hard leaving him because I knew when I saw him again all our lives would change forever.

{Daddy & Wesley Playing on the Computer:}
Wesley loved being with his dad at the hospital. Patrick went home that night to be with Wesley for a couple of hours because we knew he was probably having a rough day. I lot had gone on and we wanted to make sure that Wesley had time with atleast one of us.

{First Family Picture:}
I LOVE my family and I couldn't be more happy to be a mom to 2 beautiful children.

{Outfit Going Home:}

{Daddy, Taylor & Wesley Right After We Got Home From The Hospital:}
After getting home Wesley still didn't want to have anything to do with Taylor. But now that she's been here for almost 2 weeks I think he realizes that she isn't going anywhere. I know he loves his little sister.

{Wesley Finally Warming Up To His Sister That Night:}

The first night Taylor came home Wesley finally wanted to hold Taylor. He's so good to his sister.

A couple of weeks ago Wesley's cousin Bryant stopped by to say hi. Wesley LOVES his cousins Bryant and Charlize and talks about them all the time. We are so excited to introduce Taylor to them this weekend!!

So last night I decided to take a picture of my pregnant belly since I didn't do a good job at all during the pregnany.

Yesterday I had my Doctor's appt. and I was 4 cms. So I'm really glad about that!!

This is me and my big pregnacy belly 3 days before my due date!! I'm so excited because my Mom came into town last night so she is here for the delivery. Now we are just all waiting for this baby to decide to come out and play!!

Patrick and I decided to reward Wesley to where ever he wanted to go for a treat because he started using the toto. We asked him if he wanted to go to McDonalds or pizza and of course he chose McDonalds. He had a lot of fun eating and playing in the jungle gym. And this time he didn't get stuck so we didn't have to rescue him!!

{mY BiG bOy}

For the last month it seems like Wesley has been interested in potty training.

I've heard that it's not the best thing to force it on a child but instead the child will let you know when they are ready to start.

Wesley has been really interested in sitting on the "toto". So we let him do it as much as he would like because I don't want to discourage him.

So yesterday for about 4 hours he kept telling Patrick and I "poo poo change"

{which to Wesley "poo poo" means "diaper" so he wants a diaper change}

and that he wanted to sit on the toto. We continued to put him on the toto over and over again and we both were getting frustrated because he wasn't doing anything.

So finally right before bed I gave it one more attempt.

Well I guess it paid off because he went poo poo in the toto!!!

We were all so excited and Wesley kept clapping his hands and saying "yeah Wesley"

I think he was excited as well.

Sorry this story might be a little TMI but as you can tell we are so excited for our little boy.

I hope this is the start of potty training and no diapers.

I would LOVE to have only one child in diapers and not 2!!

{tHis WeEkS bAbY UpDAtE}

Well so far there is so still no baby!!

I will have to say I don't remember being this uncomfortable, sore and not being able to sleep when I was pregnant with Wesley.

I had a little false alarm this week because I thought I was going into labor. Thursday morning around 4:15 I was having some pretty good contractions. Because of it I couldn't go to sleep because I was a little concerned I was going into labor. I didn't want to wake Patrick to worry him so I went to the living room and watched tv. They soon stopped but I couldn't go to sleep. So I got about 5 hours of sleep that night.

I was excited however because that day I had a Dr's appt. I was still dialted to 2 cms so there wasn't any progression this last week.

My next Dr's appt will be this Thursday and I wouldn't mind one bit if I didn't make it to my next appt. I'm really excited because my mom is coming down on Thursday and staying with us for a week and a half. I feel so blessed to have a mom willing to take time out of her busy schedule to come be with us for awhile.

Both Patrick and Wesley have really been good to me because I'm so pregnant. Patrick helps with laundry and cooks dinner for me too. I have one good husband!!
