Sew Cute!

My sisters got their sew on so I thought I would post my latest projects for my new bundle of joy. I made this car seat canopy tent instead of using a blanket to cover the baby. It has velcro straps so it won't blow off and it protects baby from sun, wind, rain and people touching.
The underside is brown with blue polka dots.

Isn't my baby so cute sporting his new car seat cover.

I made this whole baby set burp cloth, pee-teepee and minky blanket. First time I actually used a blanket binding.

These are the funniest. The pee-pee teepee or sprinkle cap. Yes, for the you know what. Baby boys are unpredictable it's best to be prepared. Easy project and handy for the first month.

Introducing Baby Boy #4

We added another boy to our family on Tuesday June 30 at 2:10 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and is 19 inches long. He and Parker weighed the same at birth so maybe he'll grow solid like Parker. Dylan was the biggest at 7 lbs 14 oz and he is my smallest boy. Go figure. Sam was the longest at 20 inches. Anyways drum roll please............... his name is
LOGAN DAVID THOMPSON
surprise I know! Being our last baby I had a hard time deciding. Thanks Doc for the instinct pep talk. My Dr. told me to go with my gut feeling so I did.
He was vampire pale when he came out I thought I had gotten bitten by Edward.

He has lots of dark hair, but it looks like it will lighten up like Sam's did. Mommy, Baby and Daddy are all doing ok. We had a scare with him after my water broke his heart rate dropped dangerously low and my Dr. called for backup and the OR was on stand-by for a c-section because I was only dilated to a 6. Gordon had left to get lunch and the nurse asked me where he could be reached she wanted him there ASAP. There were lots of nurses just waiting. I was trying to keep from crying. My Mom walked in on the excitement unsure what was going on. Then Gordon came in and saw my Mom crying and me scared and he said I was only gone for 20 minutes and chaos breaks out. He held my hand and I started crying. After many minutes and moving positions, replacing machine cords baby decided to cooperate and his heart rate improved. When he came out the cord was wrapped around his neck resulting in all the drama.

My cute boys. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam gets grumpy when we let his brothers have a turn holding baby Logan. Sam goes nose to nose with Logan and says "hi baby" over and over. We found him hanging over the port a crib trying to take his hat off to rub his head.

We are all doing well. But I did miss having my camera girls (sisters) in the delivery room with us. Gordon stepped it up and took some great shots. We'll see how our first night at home goes.

Logan thanks for coming to our family. WE love you.

Momma's new ride

This is my long awaited Momma mobile. We can pick it up in a couple days. Gordon said he would never own one. Never say Never!! Like a good husband he's buying what his wife wants.

We are having a must needed DVD player (Parker & Dylan requested a movie in their car). Like they don't get enough TV time at home. It will be so great for a rode trip to Boise next weeekend. It is hard to share the 7" one between all 3. Now Parker and Dylan can watch their own movie if they want. I am so excited to have more space and so are the boys. Leather seats, automatic sliding doors, rear air, 8 seats and a reversing camera.

We have 6 weeks to go before baby "Ranger" comes to the family and I was starting to get nervous that we weren't going to have a car for him. But, it all worked out. When Momma's happy everybody's happy!!

R or no R that is the ?????

7 months pregnant. I now have 8 or 9 weeks left but who's counting? Pregnancy has been good for the most part I get a lot of back aches and heart burn. Heart burn is a sign of a head full of hair. Just like Sam hopefully. We do have baby name issues.

Gordon, Parker, Dylan and Sam all have a middle name that starts with R. Gordon is convinced that this baby boy will feel left out if he doesn't have a middle name that starts with R. I don't want to do R again. I really didn't want to do R with Sam but Gordon did so I let him pick it. No we haven't decided on a first name. I have to get this middle name issue resolved.

Basically what I need to decide is if I don't give him an R name will he have 1 more thing to blame his parents for when he talks to his therapist? Isn't that the excuse for adults "it all started in childhood, it's my parents fault?"

Use the poll and vote. Will this hurt his pysche? I mean the other 3 were born in August and he's hopefully going to be born in June so already he's different. Maybe he won't feel left out if we name him August. August Rush!!! That's it that's the name! Thanks for the Love. VOTE!!!

Bath Time

I was getting the bath ready for Dylan and when I went to get him Sam thought he would also take a bath, fully clothed. He loves baths and showers. Sometimes he has two a day. A shower with Daddy in the morning and one at night with Parker and Dylan.
If Mom won't undress me I'll get in anyways!!

I love SPLASHING!!!

MOM I'm all clean! Where's Dylan?

I LOVE THIS CUTE BOY!!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! We had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and it was fun. It was a little cold and it started to rain (that's why Sam is in his winter hat instead of bunny ears). Aren't my bunnies cute? They had 2 baby chicks and a bunny to pet. Sam kept saying "woof woof" to the rabbit. Guess we need to work harder at our animal sounds.
The kids 2 and under didn't really get the whole pick it up and put in your basket. Sam picked one up tried to open it or he's sit down for a break. It is his first Easter egg hunt. Last year he just sat in the stroller and watched.

All 3 boys were in different "hunting" spots so I only got pictures of Sam. The boys still got tons of eggs doing it by themselves. I was with Sam and Gordon was at work. He misses all the fun!!!

I wanted one more picture of their cute faces and it wasn't going so well. Sam just wanted his candy, Parker was cold (he's been running a fever) and Dylan "hates pictures". It can be torture, I keep saying just one more and 10 pictures later I let them eat their candy. This was the best one.

Best-Friends

I apologize it has been a month since I last updated. I am really awful about keeping everyone posted I know it. But I wanted to post about the boys and how Parker and Dylan are best-friends (and the worst of enemies). They get mad at each other and say "I'm not your best-friend today." It's comical. We are trying to instill in the boys that they are brothers and best-friends and they will always be there for each other.

Now we found out that Sam will have a best-friend too. A little baby brother due early July. Suprise, suprise not an August baby. I admit I was sad at first not getting the baby girl I wanted. But, Dylan reminded me that "you get what you get and don't throw a fit." and Parker said Sam has a best-friend now. How cute these boys are. The Thompson family name lives on and we are all excited (even Daddy) about another baby!
