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 :)

4D Ultrasound

Today we went to Miracle in Progress to have a 4D Ultrasound of Mr. Cayden, he is so stinking cute I can't hardly stand it! The Tech said that he has LOTS of hair, chubby chubby cheeks, a cute button nose and I think he looks SO much like Brysen! Sorry babe my genes just kick yours away :) In the pictures of him, his face is right next to my placenta and he is already head down, the tech said he likes to use my placenta as a pillow for his little face, so it was hard to get great pictures but I think they are pretty good even with my placenta being right in his face! You can still see how dang cute he is! Having this ultrasound makes us more and more excited for his arrival which will probably be in about 6 weeks :) These pictures are of Cayden at 31 weeks!

He is sticking out his tongue :)

This is his little foot in case you can't tell :)

Excited

Today I had a doctor appointment, and I am so excited it was pretty much all GOOD news! I am 30 weeks and baby and I are doing great! This sweet little boy seems to be more calm in my belly then his brother, he is still very active, it is funny cause he likes to hangout in all the same spots in my belly he is always behind my right rib ( and if your wondering so far it doesn't hurt that he hangs out in my rib) and down on my left side more towards my hip! I remember Brysen always being all over the place! I have been having to go to the Dr. more then normal, at 20 weeks my amniotic fluid was at a high normal and I was having a LOT of braxton hicks, I had tons with Brysen so to me it was normal! They had me going for more ultrasounds and they had me doing fetal fiber necatins, no idea if that's how you spell it, cause they were worried about pre term labor! Today they checked and it is down and more normal and my belly is measuring perfect so they are NOT making me do any of that stuff anymore! I am so glad, I was getting so sick of it and I was not even that worried about it! We also found out today that this sweet little boy will be here end of next month or very beginning of October! My due date is actually October 19 but with my placenta issues he has to come early! I can't even wait or believe that he will be here so soon! We have a ultrasound in 3 weeks to check out the babies growth, if it is doing what it did with Brysen I will be put on bed rest so I am hoping that doesn't happen, at 36 weeks I will have another ultrasound to check his growth again and then a week or 2 after that the dr said we will be delivering baby Cayden! Hopefully everything goes smoothly and that he does not have to come any earlier then we have planned! This pregnancy has been a little more stressful for me and I am ready for it to be over and have a healthy sweet little boy in my arms! I am so thankful that Cayden and  I have been watched over by Heavenly Father! After today I know everything will work out perfect! Next week we are getting a 4d ultrasound to see what the little man looks like! Can't wait :)

Brysen-ism's

I can't even begin to tell you how much we love this little guy, he brightens are day everyday! I had to write this post more so for us to remember how funny and cute he is right now! This little boy says the funniest things that crack me up all the time! I am sure I will have to come back and add more because he says different things all the time and I am sure I have forgotten some too!
-One morning I asked what he wanted for breakfast and he told me "Fries and Coke"
-He started calling me mamacita, so now he adds that to everyone's name, daddycita, grammycita, lukeycita, woodycita! Kyle hates it that he calls him that but I happen to think it is hilarious
-He calls popsicles, popsuckers haha
-When he jumps in the pool he will clap and say "brysen, brysen, brysen" a million times before he jumps
-When he sings itsy bitsy spider he sings it "itsy bitsy spiderman"
-He loves fireworks so at night in his prayers a few times he would thank heavenly father for fireworks
-Love is Lobe, and he tells Kyle and I all the time that he Lobes us, and woody and a lot of his toys!
-He asked me to see his brother, and told me he wants to kiss him and hug him
-He will randomly bust out and say "SHAKE YO BOOOOOTAYY"
-He always talks about himself in 3rd person, He always says "what's Brysen doing", or "Brysen silly"  "thank you Brysen, your welcome Brysen" and lots more!
-He loves Little Rascals, so he is always saying "otay" instead of okay
-He is talking in sentences now which I think is the cutest thing ever
-His way of counting is 1,2,4,5,6,7,8
-He loves to sing I am a Child Of God ( we sing it every night before bed)
-His most favorite thing right now is garbage trucks
-He LOVES milk and drinks so much of it
-Kyle taught him to give the look which is in one of the pics below in his batman shirt
-He loves big trucks
For now I can't think of all the other funny things so I will be coming back and editing
We love you Brysen Carter
