The funny things that kids say!

Tonsils

Mahal and Chase had their tonsils out on the 25th of March and lets just say we are glad that we are on the tail end of getting better. Mahal did surprisingly better then I thought that she would. She had her tonsils and adenoids out and tubes put in her ears. The Dr. said that she had chronic tonsillitis and that they should have come out a long time ago. Poor girl!!She is still really cranky, but hopefully she will be a different little girl with eating, sleeping, and just feeling better overall. Now for dads turn.... everyone pray for him and us!;)

Dempsie's first smile!

Dempsie smiled at me for the first time on March 11th! I'm trying to do a better job at writing down all of her milestones. We love her and she is so beautiful!

Dempsie Lou Stewart

Our beautiful baby girl was born on February 7, 2013. Her name is Dempsie Lou Stewart! She was 6 pounds 14 ounces, 19 inches long, and was born at 2:15pm. She is So beautiful and we already love her so much!
By the time I got to 39 weeks I was ready to have this baby! I kept praying that she would come everyday, but I had to keep telling myself that she would come when she was ready. I decided to be induced....this was a really hard decision and I'm still not sure about the whole thing! I feel really guilty that I "made" her come and think that maybe I should have let her come on her own. Oh well! It's done and I did it. I'm not sure if I'll ever do it again with any of my other kids, ask me again when I'm 39 weeks with them and i might be singing a different tune!
The morning that i was scheduled to have her was crazy! I had to get up at 5am and call L&D to make sure that they had room for me and schedule a time to come in. They go first call first served. I actually called at 4:57am hoping that I was the first caller and was the second. My fear was that I would have to wait all day to get in. Luckily, they told me to be at the hospital between 7 and 7:15. When we got to the hospital they checked us in, started me on patosin and then the waiting game began.
