.... So In Love ....

Can't get enough of this kid!

Baby Jack

Jackson Matthew Nordhoff is here and so perfect!! He surprised us on April 11th at 5:28 am and weighed in at 6 lbs 15 ounces and 19 inches long. It is a good thing he is such a sweetheart because the last few weeks he put us through craziness!! Going into labor a month early, kidney infection, kidney stone, and then to top it off he is almost born in the car ..... yes you heard that right, the car! So I started getting contractions around 3 am .... 15 mins apart and not too strong, I had been having braxton hicks so this was nothing new to me. A little after 4 it was still the same, but we called the hospital just to see what they thought. I was told to take two tylenol and get in the warm tub and it would stop ..... yeah let's just say they went from 15 mins and nothing to 1 min and I thought I was dying. Really. We hurried to the car, left Liv asleep, and flew to the hospital. Matt somehow got us there in like 2 mins and got me inside and explained what happened. They then told me I was almost a 9 ... my being the dummy asked when I could have my epidural and was kindly told that was not a possibility. I kind of freaked out. No really freaked out. It was horrible. Worst pain ever, but he was born about 20 mins later and we love him so much! Matt was amazing, I mean really amazing as I am crying/screaming about how I can't do this, he stayed so calm and was such a support. I am so grateful for him! And Liv has been LOVING him and has been an amazing big sister! I am so thankful for our little family! Sorry for the story and all the pics, not sure when I will be able to blog again :)

My cute Dad has been waiting for this :)

Check out the hair .... yes Liv was bald and blonde .... he will be getting a haircut before her!

Going home!!

Easter Weekend

We had such a fun weekend, which was LONG overdue after the crazy week we had. On Saturday we took Liv to Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum and as we were getting there, the Easter egg hunt was just ending so we were able to enjoy some of the fun for free!

Liv threw a major tantrum when we made her get off this slide ... after riding it about 15 times with poor Dad

This little girl is hilarious .... no likey the sand on her hands

The scariest part of the museum and her MOST favorite part

Nice outfit and the phone was glued to her face all night ..... great

Lucky for Liv the Easter Bunny showed up!

Daddy was in charge of buying her a trike .... I was thinking plastic, cheap, but oh no he had to get the "coolest" one out there :) LOVE IT!

Finding her basket in her favorite spot in our closet!

Making herself sick with candy

Testing out her new golf clubs

Oh yeah!

Oh how I love this picture!! Liv will NOT eat cereal ... unless it is from Daddy's bowl and the second he starts pouring the milk she is running to get the biggest spoon we have .... gotta love her!

Cute Grandpa Nordhoff showing her what the Easter Bunny brought her at their house

Going through more gifts at Grandma and Grandpa Thain's ... spoiled

Testing out that new bike! Still getting the hang of pedaling .....

... Easter Dress Sunday ...

One of the most fun things about having a girl is dressing them up! Since Easter is over General Conference, and hopefully the Sunday after we are home with a baby :), I had Liv wear here dress this week! I love this little outfit .... fits her to a T!

... So taking pics of a psycho 2 year old is pretty much impossible, but we did get this smile when boys were walking down the street .... can we say flirt?

Livie and her Daddy ... and I can I brag about how good my hubby looks?! Perfect timing with me MAJOR pregnant but I am SO proud of him!

My Liv

I just had to do a post on how much I love this wild, little thing. As we get really close (two weeks!) to having our little guy come, I am starting to get a little anxious about my sweet girl. It has been her and I non-stop for two years, she has been the greatest lunch pal and shopping buddy. We have our schedule down and have fun with just us girls during the day. I hope she will still know how much I love her and how she is still my best pal, especially when we are adjusting and not out and about doing fun things for her ..... I do know she will be the BEST big sister though!! Don't know what I would do without my wild thing!!!

The Little Man's Room!

So I think I had more fun doing our little guy's room then I did with Liv's ..... Oh I LOVED it!!! I am getting so excited and anxious to meet the little guy!!

Before .... Liv's Princess Pad

Just a little different then before :)

Yes that is horns and yes I LOVE them! There is also one of the thousands of home run ball's Matt hit while playing baseball and a picture of both Grandpas and Matt out hunting ... love it

Matt was awesome and got me this tv for Christmas .... the stud was a little off centered but I am still loving it!

Loving the bedding

Getting Ready!

We are in full baby mode over at our house! The nursery is done, double stroller bought, and baby/big sister books are being read. We could not be more excited about the changes coming to our little family! I still am in shock that we are having a boy and I seriously could not be more excited!!

I am LOVING the boy stuff!

My almost 33 week belly ..... wow
