Halloween Festivities

I love the holiday season, starting with Halloween in October to January 1 is my fav time of year! This year we had lots of fun we went to the pumpkin patch a bunch of times, B is obsessed with all things Halloween, every store we went to we had to see the scary Halloween stuff, every time we drove past the Pumpkin patch he got so excited! I can't even begin to tell you how much he LOVED Halloween! He keeps asking me where the pumpkin patch went and tells me that it needs to come back! We went trunk or treating at my moms church, we went to Gilcrease Orchard with the Christensens and picked out our own pumpkins, we carved and painted pumpkins with my family, we of course went trick or treating and had chili and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies at my moms on Halloween! We had such a fun time B was Batman of course (he loves him) and Cayden was a handsome devil! We had such a fun month and can't wait for more fun this holiday season!

1 month

Our sweet Cayden is 1 month old today! Already?? Time is going by to fast for my liking! This sweet angel has brought us so much joy and love in just 1 short month! He is such a great baby, he is always happy and he smiles so much, I love it! He is still such a great eater and loves his food! He is only getting up once at night and has been since I stopped walking him up! He is already over 9lbs, little chub haha and is really starting to fill out and get chubby cheeks and a double chin and chunky legs, well starting to get chunky everything! He eats every 3 hours during the day! He loves his sleep and is hardly ever awake! Brysen loves his little brother and is so good with him! Since I nurse the baby, B has wanted to nurse off me (sorry kid not for you), thinks I make chocolate milk, and he also thinks he can nurse the baby and tried to yesterday! When the baby cries B always tells him "its okay monkey" and gives him a kiss! I love my boys so much! Cayden we sure love you stop growing so fast mommy doesn't like it! It is so amazing how much easier it is with the 2nd baby, seems like a piece of cake, now taking care of 2 kids that has had its challenges, but we love being the parents of 2 kids, we are so blessed :)

Newborn Pictures of Cayden

One of my friends Sammi Osborn S.O.Photography took some photos of our sweet little Cayden! He was 1 week and 1 day old here :) I can't get over how darling these all came out, this is not even half of them! Our sweet little man is now 2 weeks and 1 day old, he smiles ALL the time and is just so sweet, we are all so in love! He is great nurser and only gets up ONCE at night, eats and falls right back to sleep which is awesome for me! Brysen is such a great big brother and always ask to kiss him, and if he crys he tells him its okay baby brother! We love you Cayden Nicholas, you complete are little family :)

Cayden Nicholas Compton

Our sweet little bundle of joy has arrived! Cayden Nicholas Compton was born Monday September 24, 2012 at 12:26 p.m. 6lbs 9ozs 18 inches long! Of course he decides to come at the worst possible time but now I have decided it was a blessing in disguise! Sunday I had been having contractions on and off all day nothing consistent! We had been getting all the last minute packing and stuff done for our move on tuesday! Later that night they started to be very consistent but I didn't want to time them because I wanted to work my shifts the rest of the week and get all moved in to our house! I told my mom and she made me start timing them! For an hour I had them every 4 to 5 minutes, she told me ha "your in labor, go to the hospital" and I said "no way, he can't come yet"! I decided to call the Dr and ask her opinion and she said if they get stronger go! I had Kyle and Trent give me a blessing and by this time it was almost midnight and I had the contractions every 4 to 5 minutes still! I decided to get ready just in case we decided to go to the hospital! I was in serious denial that this sweet boy was making his arrival soon! Mind you I was also only 36 weeks and 2 days, finally after I got all ready we decided to go! I was in denial for 3 hours at home and when we got to the hospital I knew I was going to be admitted but still thought no they will just send us home! She checked and I was 70% thinned out and a 4! The nurse called the Dr and I was admitted, I cried cause I was in shock, and so happy he would be in my arms soon I was also sad that it came so quick and that Brysen would wake up the next morning to his whole world changed with a new brother! I went from a 4 to a 5 in less then an hour and thought wow he is going to come quick but I was wrong! Contractions got strong but not bad at all, I got my epidural thinking it would help and guess again I was wrong it slowed me way down! I should have remembered the same thing happened with Brysen! I stayed a 5 for HOURS, after that I finally started progressing again! They wanted to break my water but they couldn't, Cayden was still up to high for them to do it! My Dr came to check on me and she decided to break it! They wanted her to do it because with him not fully dropped his cord could come first and I would have to have an emergency C-section! After she broke it, it was less then an hour later that our sweet boy arrived! The reason he wasn't dropping all the way down was cause my cord was only 12 inches long! The Dr and nurse thought it was wrapped around his neck or leg or something and thats why he wasn't coming down but that was not the case! So crazy to me how they can't see that in an ultrasound how short my cord was! I pushed for 10-12 minutes and out Cayden came into the world! Monday while I was in labor we got a call from our Landlord telling us we could get the keys a day early! Go figure, my sweet, amazing husband moved us into our house for a few hours each day or when he could escape the hospital! I got to come home to a new house that was a complete mess! Here is the part where this all is a blessing in disguise, if Cayden wouldn't have decided to come early Kyle would not have had the whole week off to get us completely unpacked and make our house into a home! I would have had to do most of it while he worked so it to me was a blessing in disguise for this little peanut  to come early! We are adjusting great, we love our new house and especially our new little son! He is such a great baby and a great nurser which makes life so much easier! Brysen LOVES his new baby brother and loves to kiss him and hold him! When he crys he always tells him "its okay baby brother"! Such a sweet big brother, lets hope it stays that way! Thank you to everyone who came and visited and helped us move, brought us dinner, and just helped us out with whatever we needed this crazy hectic week, we have the best family and friends :) The biggest thanks to my amazing mother who has helped more then anything and done so much for us and keeps doing so much for us! We sure love you all ♥
Picture overload now :)
