We are all still alive and doing well. I am blogging on my iPad which works ok for just text, but is difficult for posting pictures. My regular laptop's power cord is about dead and I can't get the thing to turn on very often thus I can't upload pictures. Devin's windows slate is in the process of being upgraded so I can't use that either. But I promise to post pics as soon as I can, maybe tomorrow!

It's been snowy here, but warming up and melting. We probably had at least 8 inches. We stayed in basically the whole week. Devin went into work for a few hours Tuesday morning but came home when it started snowing. We only ventured out in the snow a little bit. Evie wasn't too sure about walking around in it or even sitting on the sled being pulled. Jacob liked being out. We tried sledding down our hill (which was really fun) but he wasn't a big fan of the snow pelting him in the face and was probably a bit too fast. We only lasted about 30 min. Mostly we just stayed in our pj's and played by the fire. We thankfully never lost power, but we had one tree fall down. Evie had a doctors appointment on Friday that I tried to take her too, but we got stuck in the driveway in the slushy snow/icy mess.

Jacob and Evie are loving their baby brother. They both like seeing him and looking at him and touching him. Evie loves to come up and give him kisses. It's just about the cutesy thing.

Noah is doing well. He is a bit fussy, especially in the evening and late night. He is eating great and sleeping about 3-4 hours a stretch at night, sometimes less, sometimes more. He loves to be held and especially being walked around. We have a doctorsappointment on Friday, it will be interesting to see how much he has grown.

Well, that's about it...till next time...

First family outing.  This is how we are rolling these days.

Noah and his big bear.

Noah is 1 Week Old

My baby boy is already a week old and things are going pretty well. Despite a big brother and sister with double ear infections and a mama who is getting a cold, Noah is doing great.

He had a check up today. The doctor of course said he looks perfect! He weighed in at 6lbs 12oz, (1oz above his birth weight and in the 25th % tile) and measured 19.25 inches long (15th %tile).

He is sleeping and eating great, about every 3-4 hours during the day and sleeping in-between. He has some fussy times at night between 10-2am except for last night so I am hoping we are getting past this, and he gives us one long stretch of 5-6 hours of sleep at night which makes all the difference in the world! Keep it up little buddy! He is sleeping in our room in a cradle that my grandpa Jack made for my sisters and I when we were babies.

He still seems SO tiny making our others seem so huge in comparison.

His belly button hs not fallen off yet. We gave him his first sink bath yesterday and I did a photo shoot as well.

He is wearing newborn size diapers and newborn clothes that are almost all too big for him. We have one premee outfit that fits just right.

We are getting lots of snuggle time in the evening after the other 2 go to bed.  and we are getting lots of sleepy smiles!  Loving it!

Oh, and so far he does not seem to be much of a spitter upper! I am hoping that continues as well.

Welcome Baby Noah

Tuesday evening we welcomed our newest tiny baby, Noah Rogers Jenson, into this world. It was a scheduled c-section that went as planned. He was born at 5:41pm. Noah's first apgar score was 5 followed by 8 which gave him a ticket to the nursery for an hour or two to be monitored. He swallowed a bit of fluid on his way out which lead him to be a bit blue and not moving upon delivery but quickly came around with a little bit of jostling. He is so cute and perfect and sweet. 6 lbs 11oz and 18.5 inches long. He is so tiny and skinny. (Jacob was 6lbs 4oz, 19inches and Evie was 6lbs 8oz and 18.5inches)

Our first night was pretty good. Noah gave us a few good stretches of sleep (wish I could say the same for the nurses, blood draw, doctors, and everyone else who came into our room). I wish I could say the same for the second night in which he was pretty fussy and was a totally different baby. We barely got any sleep until around 5:30am when he finally burped, and then we were all able to get some sleep. I had a bit of a melt down that morning after being exhausted and in pain. But was finally able to get a few hours of rest and felt much better. We were discharged yesterday and got home around 9pm last night. Noah was pretty fussy for the first half of the night but after feeding at 2:30am, he slept until 4am, ate and then slept until 10am! And so did we.

Jacob and Evie had been spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and Jacob has been very sick. They took him in to see the doctor to find out he has a double ear infection and an eye infection. After starting antibiotics he is already feeling much better. They both come home this evening and didn't pay much attention to their little brother. Jacob says baby and gave him a kiss. Evie, when she actually focus' and sees Noah will smile and laugh a little.

I am doing well, as well as can be expected. I am having more pain this time around then I remember the last 2 times. I trying to take it easy and rely on Devin. We we had a nice quite day and got a little extra sleep. Now gearing up for the day to day with 3 kiddo's.

Here are some pics of the newest little Jenson:

38 Weeks

38 weeks and some odd days, almost 39 weeks. I am ready to have this baby. I was really hoping that the baby would come on it's own by like today, but looks like this baby isn't coming on its own. Our c-section got bumped up to the 27th at 5:30pm. Looking forward to meeting our baby sooner but not looking forward to not being able to eat or drink all day. We still don't have names picked out, though we do have bags packed. Just waiting for the 27th!

Evie is 15 Months

Our baby girl is 15months old already. 

Here is what our Evie is up too:

She has an ear infection and is on antibiotics.

Weight:  21 lbs, 4oz (25th %tile)

Height: 28.75 inches (8th %tile)

She has 5 teeth.  2 middle bottom, 2 middle top and top left

She is an eater.  She out eats Jacob just about every meal.  Her favorites include: PB&J, grapes, raisin's, graham crackers, milk, pears, peas, oatmeal.

She is a Daddy’s girl and goes right to him when he comes home from work and cries if he passes by or if I take her from him.

She is walking well and trying to walk fast.  She tries to jump.  She tries to do everything Jacob does (and he does everything she does).  They have started “chasing” each other and they laugh and laugh and laugh.  They play ring-around-the-rosie together too.

She still takes 2 naps a day still and sleeps about 12 hours at night.

She doesn’t really have any words.  She kind of says dada, kitty cat, uh-oh, hi.  She gives high fives and waves.  She signs more and drink.

She likes her shoes and if she sees them, will bring them over to be put on. 

She easily goes up and down the stairs and tries to climb on anything she can.
