Bath time

Bath times are always fun but lately Tanner gets out and runs around with her towel on her head like a cape.  It is really cute.   Jett doesn't love baths yet but we are hoping as soon as the umbellical cord falls off and we can get him all the way in warm water he will like it better.

Tanner wants to be apart of everything, SO for Jett's first bath we pulled up a chair so she could be apart of the action.

Trying to remember to take pictures

Tanner is meeting Jett at home for the first time.  She has been really good to him and loves to swing him in the swing.  It is us that she acts out towards.  We are trying to have patience yet be consistent too.  

Here is Jett hanging out on the kitchen table.  He is quite the sleeper these days.  I check out my friend Gretch's blog and am so empressed how often she takes pictures and post them that I was feeling convicted that I needed to take more of Jett.   Jett does a lot of things that remind us of Tanner and her baby stage.  He is turning a little yellow and am hoping that I can nurse out some of the jaundice.  Our new house doesn't have the natural light coming in the windows like our old house so we go out for walks when we can.

Before we meet Jett

What do you do the night before Jett comes, you take pictures that you haven't taken for all 9 months right?  

Our family of three soon to be four.  Tanner is finally getting the idea of smiling.  

I have avoided taking any pregnancy pictures because I just didn't feel cute  but my mom convinced me the night before that I would want some of me with Jett and that I would be sorry if I didn't.  So here is my attempt.

SQEEEZE!!!  I must say when it was time to leave for the hospital, I started crying thinking about leaving this baby girl who I love so much.  I knew she was well taken care of but I knew that it would never be just me and her again and a small part of me wondered did we have enough time together and did I make the most of my last moments with her.

Kissing Baby Jett.  She really had no idea that her whole world would come crashing down.

Tickling Tanner.  That is her new favorite thing to ask for, she says "tickle me?"

Mommy Here

Well I thought I would write a little update how I am doing as Jay is running off to get dinner and Jett is sleeping "like a baby" especially since he just had his circumcision.  Yesterday was a really emotional and had day.  When I had my last c-section, I had labored so long that I didn't really take much notice about the c-section because I was so out of it.  This time around, I noticed EVERYTHING and felt so much more.  I had great nurses and doctors who were there though my anxiousness of spinals and IV's but when it came time for operation I wasn't prepared for how much I would feel all the tugging and pushing on  your tummy.  I was sooooo uncomfortable and couldn't wait for it to be done.  And it took a little longer because  of some extra work my doctor had to do.  YIKES!!  But made it through singing and praying to God most of the time.  The really cool thing this time is that Jett and Jay got to stay with me the entire time in the OR room and the recovery room.  Our really cool nurse even let us have people in the recovery room.

We didn't get a ton of sleep last night but does anyone in a hospital with all the checks of vitals, meds etc?  But today we have been loved on by family and friends and I feel much better.  Walking around is getting easier by the lap and Jett is starting to get the hang of feeding I think.  We are hoping for a release tomorrow but who knows.   I thought it might be hard on Tanner seeing me in the hospital and it was, so that was hard on me to see.  I guess it wasn't the brightest idea to have her see me right after the surgery in recovery so if I could do it over I would have waited til today when I am showered, dressed normal and have no tubed hooked to me.  Oh well hindsight 20/20 right?  Now she is off to Grammie and Grandpa's for a weekend of fun while Jay, Jett and I continue our getting to know stage.  Jett is a good baby with little fussing and already loves the "paci" but so did Tanner so that is no big surprise.  What is a big surprise is how black and thick his hair is and how hairy his arms and back are.   Thank you all for your prayers yesterday and today and they are truly what has gotten us by.  We love you all.

Tanner was very concerned about Mommy and had to see her. Jett on the other hand she wanted little to do with. She finally did mustered up a little courage and gave him a little pat on the head.

In recovery. Mommy is looking good

Jett Andrew Johnson arrived at 2:24pm and weighed in at 7 pounds 12 oz. He is 19 inches long, has dark hair big, cheeks and large hands (like his father.)
