Almost 2 weeks old now

Yes, I know it's been a while. Really I am just trying to adjust to the new changes around here. Most of the changes have been easier to adjust too, I just forgot sometimes how hard the nights can be, and how hard it can be to get anything done during the day, when someone wants to eat every 1,2, or 3 hours!:) My sister has reminded me a few times that I still haven't posted pictures for her so she can see her new nephew....So, since I love her so much, I thought I really should take the time since time is definately not standing still, and put a post up for her.


We ended up naming him Zachary Cannon Chalmers. Honestly, I didn't think Mike would ever go for a different name for the middle name, but we wanted it to mean something family wise. Since my dad has been in the military for so long and loves cannons I was joking and just spit it out one day, and Mike loves guns- especially big ones, so he liked it. He weighed 7lbs 5oz. when he was born. He was born on April 14,2010 at 8:10 a.m. Our doctor has reasured us that we only had a 3% chance of Zach coming early so I hadn't even packed our bag yet. We weren't due for another week and I thought I had plenty of time to do it. On the morning of the 14th however I woke up at 5:00am to my water breaking. Mike asked if I was okay and I told him I was 99% sure my water just broke. When we got to the hospital they moved all of the schedualed C-sections and put us in the 7:30am spot since the contractions were pretty stong. The doctor informed us the we were smart to make this our last baby as he'd advised before. Zach ended up spending a day in the NICU but everything turned out fine. Now for reality, Zach is hungry, so I'd better get going. Love you all, and I'll post more pictures later.

2 Weeks

So, we only have 2 weeks left until our little boy Zach, should be here. Yeah, we are making it. I still have a to do list that is a mile long....some of it just might have to wait, or never get done. I thought I would clean carpets today because that is a nice and slow project...but it snowed 4 inches last night. No way am I cleaning carpets when I know the kids will track in snow and mud right after. So, today if I get up the motivation it will probably be cleaning out the fridge or the pantry. The fridge is a "must do" within the next 2 weeks. Yesterday I did clean out the microwave which was so bad....so bonus points for me there. Cleaning the office is also on my list. Mostly because I can bearly open the door wide enough for me and my belly to fit through!:) I think it should take a good day of cleaning to get it done. Mike has agreed to help me with it tomarrow. We shall see how far we get. I think the paper work stuff will take the longest....I dread that part the most. I feel like things are coming together in order to have a baby come though. Before I felt pretty stressed out and in pain. The pain is still here, but atleast the emotions have calmed down some. I will blog later about easter and our camping trip (We had to get atleast one in before Zach comes!!)
