Ice cream,popsicles and Jello

Karleigh got her tonsils out Feb.1st.  Everything went perfect.  She also had her tubes removed from her ears and a small paper patch put over a hole in her eardrum.  She is doing great now.
We are all getting a little better sleep now that we don't hear Karleigh snoring like a bear and struggling to breath.

Kambria Jane 4 Weeks old....

Kambria is 4 weeks old today!

I can't believe that a month has gone by!  She is the best baby!!!!! I kept holding my breath waiting for the hard times to hit and they just havn't hit.  Well not hard baby times yet.  We definatly had our share of the Rain storm around here!  The old adage that when it rains it pours sure visited us this last month.

I am all better from the kidney infection.  I feel great I feel that I am actually starting to get my routine back and feel that I can take on these four kids!

Chad is healing slowly but steadily it has been a huge blessing to have him home.  To be honest though I am ready for him to go back to work where ever that may be... He is not the type to be home and laid up.  He is a worker and likes to be busy and productive and after a month of not being able to do anything he is a bit stir crazy.  Which in turn rubs off on me and we both just get a bit cranky with each other.  I have loved having him home and to have the extra set of hands. Especially to hold little Kambria so I can take a shower everyday!  Any new mother out there knows how great that one indulgence is!!!!

Preston is loving school!  He is really excelling in his reading!  And is feeling much more confident and it has been so nice to see him shine!

Colton is loving preschool.  For the most part that is.  He is still Colton and tries to get out of going from time to time.  He is so smart.  He has made some friends but there is never enough friends for Colton. He always wants to be playing with someone.  I have to tell him that it is okay to play alone sometimes he does not agree!!!!

Karleigh is going to a music time for kids her age and is loving it!!!! I am loving having her involved in something.  She is just so bored at times at home.  I need to reach out and get her playing with kids around here she always asks for friends.  She loves sunbeams and being a big girl!  She lets me know whenever I tell her that she is my baby that she is NOT a baby she is  a BIG girl!!!  She loves playing hide and seek and duck duck goose. she loves playdough and moon dough. She loves to bake anything and everything as well we love her.

Kambria: is growing WAAAAY  to FAST!  We say we are done but she is growing way to fast and I may just want another.....I did not just say that!!!  Anyway.  She is the best tempered baby and she is just to cute! We all just love her to pieces!!

First Sponge bath home.....

Karleigh wanted to give Kambria a bath.  So here she is helping me sponge bath her.  She didn't understand why we couldn't put her in the tub.  But she had fun combing her hair and getting her all washed and smelling good!

Later we put on this cute pink and brown outfit that Chad's sister got her it.  Karleigh came out and told me that Kambria looked like a boy.  I said what why she said her hair is like Daddy and Colton and Preston and her has boy clothes.  I had to chuckle.  It is funny how just putting on different color of clothes it does make babies look either boy or girl.  Anyway she is cute and Karleigh can't get enough of her.

Kambria Jane Cooper

Kambria Jane was born Jan. 10, 2011.  I was scheduled for a c-section on Thursday but woke Monday morning around 2am to contractions 5 min. apart.  The Dr. told me if they were 5 min apart for and hour to come in.  Well I called the hospital at 4am and they said to drink some water and take some tylenol wait half and hour and see.  Well we headed for the hospital at 5 am.  I was not dialated at all but contractions were 2 min. apart.  So my Dr. said to go ahead and prep me we were having a baby.  I went in to the OR at 7:30 and she was born at 7:52.  Weighing in at a whopping 8lbs. 2oz. and 19 1/2 in. . she is my biggest baby.  Preston was 7lbs.2oz and Karleigh and Colton were 6lbs.and little more.  Needless to say we were surprised!

She is the best baby!  She hardly ever cries and she is very loved by her brothers and sister.  We couldn't be happier!
