My little Scrapper

I know I've posted about Luke's hitting before...This kid is such a little scrapper. Today was especially trying he got into trouble for throwing wooden blocks at his sister about 6 times this morning...Then the blocks got taken away, he got into trouble when daddy came home for throwing Lincoln Logs at his sister...twice. Then tonight the kids were playing under the computer desk and a fight broke out, we let it go for a minute to see if they could work it out...bad idea. Luke bit Harlie and near about broke skin, he left a set of purple teeth marks on her upper arm and to add insult to injury when Tyson was pulling them apart he scratched down the side of her face....Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to combat the biting or the throwing things at people? This kid I tell you, may be the death of me...Now if he weren't so darn cute it'd be alot easier to discipline him....

Baby Update

We had our second ultrasound today. Baby looks AMAZING! And is thriving in there. Tyson got to go to this one, and was very excited to see the baby. I don't know if it's because we've had 2 others, but somehow the ultrasound is easier to decipher now, we could totally tell what parts were what . What's the old wives tale about fetal heart rate to predict the sex? The heart rate was 160....Any guessers? Oh well we won't know for sure for a couple months...but it's fun to guess. And it's so nice to know baby is good. Due date is now August 6th or 7th instead of just August 7th...hey when you're pregnant for 40 weeks you'll take a day early LOL.

Happy Birthday Luke!

He came to me a day before his due date, that’s Luke for you he’ll come when he’s ready, but not when you expect him to. The day he was born was an amazing one….For a long time I never thought I would find the perfect man, and then I did. And now I was half responsible for raising this tiny boy into a man, if he is half as amazing of a man as his dad I will feel like I did my job. But here he was, so tiny and with that New Infant scent. He looked up at me and I knew it was love. I wasn’t the only one who fell in love so fast, his dad and big sister couldn’t have loved him more He was the best baby, he hardly cried. And when he did it was only long enough to let his dad and I know that something was wrong, even when Harlie was shoving straws down his throat or swatting him with her mini broom, he barely let out a peep.

He’s always been a smiley boy, and his smiles can melt me faster than anything, he smiles with his whole body. Once he started to crawl we started to see a different side of him, a more adventurous side…But little did we know what would change when he started to walk, Grandma Rachel says when he started walking it was like “someone unleashed the Lukey” He went from this mild natured quiet baby, to a curious, loud, little boy who wanted to throw balls, crash trucks and drive cars up and down your arm. I am almost positive that he never learned to walk, but rather he just learned to run.

I’ve never been more scared than I was the night he overdosed on Tylenol. Something tried to whisper that he would be ok…But the mom side of me, didn’t know how I could bear losing this amazing little boy that I was sure I hadn’t had near enough time with. At Primary Children’s for over 24 hours I didn’t leave his side, except when my mother in law made me go to the cafeteria to get something to eat, and when I had to drive home to get his car seat because he rode in an ambulance to the hospital. I still remember the nurses face when she had to come in for the 10^th time to re insert his IV line. This little boy, who was supposed to be lethargic, still couldn’t hold still enough to keep in the IV tube. He made it through just fine and with flying colors, in spite of the IV situation. And I thank my Heavenly Father for leading us to react so quickly, because it could have been much worse.

Luke loves SpongeBob, and Diego. He loves his big sister, he loves giving hugs, and “Snuging” with mom or dad on the couch. He loves his Nemo blankie (that’s not technically his, but we won’t remind Harlie it was hers) He loves all things tools. I think he will grow up to be a handy man just like his daddy. He loves Jesus, and saying his prayers, he loves listening to stories and singing silly songs with Mom. He love’s his Papa, when we go to my mom’s house he is rarely off of Papa’s lap. He loves all of his extended family, and always has smiles for them. I am so blessed to know someone so pure, with such a big heart and even more blessed to be his Mommy.
