6 weeks plus 2 days

I can't believe how fast time seems to be going. It has already been 6 weeks since we went home from the hospital. Aiden is such a good baby. He slept from 10:30 pm to 7 am last night. How wonderful!! He is smiling all the time now. Here are some pictures.

Last night he was so tired that after his bath Arik put him on the couch and this is what he did.

The girls are so happy that I can be a regular mom again. I can run and play and finally pick them up. Life is good. Crazy at times but so good.

Update from May

There is a post for each of the kids. Scroll down to see them all.

A look at Aiden

First off these pics are out of order, so the first ones are the newest. Aiden has been a joy to have thus far. He is already sleeping through the night and is pretty happy and content. I got his first real smile tonight and it reminded me why I deal with all the whining and complaining and crying (mostly from his sisters). So here are some pictures of the last month. Yep he is already a month old.

Hanging out with dad. So cute!! There are no words.

He sure likes to cuddle with dad!!

Bath time. One gift we got was this bath robe. He is so darn cute!!

Here is his blessing outfit. The blessing was great and we want to thank everyone that made the trip for it. It was nice to see friends and family.

So happy.

Just hanging out.

Our first outing to Kira's soccer game.

Loading up to leave the hospital. He has changed so much already. He is over 8 pounds now.

Here is the little guy with the giant. (Bowen is my nephew)

Our going home outfit. Dad and Kira picked it out. If you go back up he is wearing the same outfit but it fits him much better now.

Having a boy is so much fun. He is just a blessing in our lives and so very fun. I will post more later but Aiden just woke up and is crying for his last feeding of the day before a long night's sleep.

A look at Kira

I think that Kira has had the hardest time adjusting to having Aiden around. She has been great about the whole thing. She doesn't quite understand why I can pick up Aiden but not her. (Only one more week of that!) She played soccer this spring and this was something that just she did. She did great. She also loves to kiss and hug her brother and really looks out for his head. She loves that Brookelyn is home all the time and she has someone to play with besides mom. She has been a great big helper.

She liked to watch everyone else go after the ball.

Here is one of the times she actually ran after the ball.

What are you looking at?

Don't know what she is doing here?

Go Kira Go!

So darn cute.

A look at Brookelyn

Over the past month Brookelyn has had some exciting things happen. She graduated kindergarten and performed in her first dance recital. She has been such a great big help to me and her siblings. She loves Aiden to death and wants to hold him as much as she can. Next month she will be six. I just can't believe it. I don't know where her graduation pics are so here are her dance ones.

This is outside of Pocatello High where the recital was.

Her is action. Yep, she wants to be a cheerleader. What am I going to do???

Being the great big sister she is.

Introducing Aiden Carl Jorgensen

For the first time ever I actually had contractions and was dilated. Monday night I had contractions about every 10-15 minutes. (My doctor had told me to come in if they got 3-5 minutes apart.) Around 1 am they were coming every 3-5 minutes. I woke up my sister and she came to be with the kids. We got the hospital and they tried giving me some meds to stop the contractions. That worked for about 30 minutes but then the contractions came stronger and faster. They then decided to take me. Since they didn't want to me to go into full blown out labor. We were in shock when they told us it was a boy. It still is interesting and hard to believe. Here are pictures for you to enjoy.

Surprise

I actaully went into labor this morning about 1 am. Aiden Carl Jorgensen was born at 5:37 am. He weighed 6 lbs and 6 oz, 21 inches long. Yep we have a little boy and we are so excited. I will post pictures later.
