eeeevery sunday

i like doing this! it's gonna get old for you dont worry. i've only missed one sunday so far. 5 down, 156,478 more to go. ( i didnt really count.)

this weekend was the weekend of cute things embry said:

-embry to steven: "you're supposed to call me steve nash when i play basketball!"

(can you tell steven watches a lot of bball?)

-embry was mad at me when i was buckling him in the car, and he looked over at finnick next to him in his carseat & i thought he was going to say something mean about the baby, but instead-in a really mad voice he said "the baby looks cute."

(had to hear how he said it-but it made me laugh so hard)

-we have this thing where steven tries to "get mommy" and then embry protects me by tackling steven. steven will try & try to get embry to say he's daddys helper & to get mommy-but he wont ever. he has this undying loyalty to me! well, one day embry snuck candy so he didnt get a fruit snack later that day when the others did- and was so mad at me. like an hour later he came up to me & said " i'm not gonna give you anymore hugs" and i said "oh how sad, but are you still mommy's helper?" and he struggled so hard not to say it but he's all "yeah" it sounded like it was the hardest thing for him to say! i love for how tough he is & with ALL that attitude he has, he cant fight that inner sweetheart! he's the funniest kid.

hunger games cast

i think jennifer lawrence will be an awesome katniss. she can look gorgeous and also kinda plain. also she was pretty hardcore & a really good actress in that movie "winter's bone"

(a desperate redbox night, it was super depressing) so i think she's got the skills to be a pretty good katniss!

the guys they chose for peeta and gale..

i'm equally confused by both choices. hopefully they surprise me in a good way. and don't make me hate them by the 3rd movie because they are just so painfully awkward & make too many fart smelling faces like another book/movie character i used to love....*cough* rob!

really though, i dont really care who they chose. i'm just excited to see this as a movie!

big brothers

so far the boys have been so interested in finnick. well mostly bastien & embry. they are always always asking to hold him. and they always say stuff like "you look so cute baby finnick!" jasper will come up and kiss the baby's arm while i'm feeding him & he's nice to him, but doesn't act as interested, still in his own little world, like always. :)

i've also noticed a change in bastien's attitude about helping me. before the baby if i asked him to go get something for me or pick something up cause it was hard to bend over he'd get so annoyed. but now he is happy to go get me a diaper or a pillow. i hope it lasts! cause he's been such a good big brother to finnick. now if i could just get him to stop pestering the twins 24/7?

i think my favorite part about having a new baby is seeing the cute interaction between your other kids & the baby. i love seeing them love eachother... or even just like eachother for a minute!

steven can be pretty inventive with the toys he comes up for bastien. this neighbor girl had this thing that had water in it & pumped up water balloons without a hose. and so steven found an old fuel pump, cleaned it & made a battery thing for it to fill up water balloons or just with air! the only problem was it used up 3-9 volt batteries in a day. i guess it needs something stronger like a car battery.

Finnick Uaisele Langford

Finnick is finally here. I'm so happy to not be pregnant anymore & that he came here safe and sound. I went in at 5:30am on Monday morning March 28th for my repeat c section. for some reason i had more anxiety about this c section than the last one & the night before i was really psyching myself out. i just wanted to get the whole beginning part over with(the needle in my back/nausea & something new this time-thinking i cant breathe) its funny- a friend told me that she had felt like she couldn't breathe in her last csection & that hadn't happened to me with the last 2. well after getting my spinal, i wasn't even thinking about that or anything but it happened. it was pretty scary but the nurse next to me was so great & she kept telling me to look at my oxygen levels & that they were at 99 percent & that i actually could breathe, it was just that my chest was a little numb so it just "felt" like i couldn't. so after the first miserable 15 minutes of feeling nauseated, cold & breathless i finally felt pretty warm & comfortable when they they started to take the baby out & when they were sewing me up i just felt really sleepy & comfy. it's the best feeling hearing your baby cry after he comes out. i love that part & it makes everything worth it. although the first 2 days i was pretty sore i was thinking. "yeah i'm done" but i forget things pretty fast cause now i'm thinking i could definitely try for that girl

-or that 5th boy. :)

our new camera has hd video & steven filmed him coming out. like where only his head is poking out of my stomach & they are pulling him out. it's a very vivid & clear video so you can see everything well. the video is actually pretty cool (and gross) but i wont share the inside of my uterus with you, you're welcome.

he was born at 7:47am & was 8lbs 2 oz.

i remember thinking "wow he has a loud cry" he really does!

we thought he might have curly hair at first but after his bath it was straight. this is the most hair any of my kids have had. & the first pregnancy i had heartburn with-so maybe it's true what they say.

trying to open his eyes for the very first time

Grandpa Fa. the name Uaisele is my dad's dad's name.

i love this picture. embry's face is the best.

2 days old.

i love him. like so much.

first day home

his after meals face. so full & sleepy.

i nursed him the whole time in the hospital, and he did so good! latched on really well. stayed awake 20 minutes on each side. but the night before i left they were worried that he lost 10% of his weight (was down to 7lb 5 oz) & wanted me to supplement until he gained some weight. well i continued nursing up until he was about 6 days old. i stopped because he would nurse for like 5 mins on one side, then fall asleep. & not want anymore after that until an hour later. well i spent that whole hour trying to keep him awake to eat some more. so basically i was glued to the couch & oh, i freaking hate breastfeeding. i so want to like it. and i think people who do it are amazing! i'm sure it wouldve gotten better, but i just gotta do what doesn't stress me out. i want him to have breastmilk so i just decided to pump like i did for the twins, and i like it so far. he has been on a schedule of every 3 hours (at night sometimes 4 and half!) and actually drinks like 3-4 oz of bmilk each time! i pumped for 4 months with the twins. my goal is 6 months this time, depending on how good he does with formula.

8 days old-

we are all in love with baby finnick! arent you?!

visiting steven's work

the day before i had finnick we tried to fill the day up with stuff to do. we went to chompies for breakfast. dont get the pancakes there unless you want to feed your whole family of 5. they're good. but reallly thick & insanely huge..to a fault! i kinda just wanted something else to go with all that pancake. but i definetly want to go back & try something else. everything looks really good there! then after we went to steven's hangar and saw all the helicopters he flys. the boys got to sit in them& loved it

weekend blog

this blog is turning into what we do on the weekends. they're the only things that have been getting me through these last few weeks! but! one week from today i will already have squeezed.. or umm unzipped..? this freaking kid out! i cant wait to be able to wear more than these 2 pairs of pants. steven let me get a jogging stroller for when we all go to the track. i cant wait! of course most of all i cant wait to meet this new little guy!

saturday morning bedhead!

we redbox'd that movie "the next three days" the whole time i was hating it but it ended up being allright. but in the beginning the mom had a morning ritual where she was planning to take a picture of their kid every morning for his first 18 years. that seemed a little extreme but i thought the idea was cool. i think every sunday before church sounds like a good time i would remember..plus its the only time they dont have food on their clothes or face.

so here is week#1

it'll be fun (& sad) to see how they grow each week.

also on friday night we went on our last date before the baby comes. we hung out with our favorites camille & chris who we havent seen in almost 2 years! they are the funnest, we always laugh til we pee with them (me-literally, with having to cross my legs even before i sneeze:). we went to that mesa arts center exhibit Amococo Architecture of Air thing! i was kicking myself for not bringing a camera, cause it was pretty cool. the line was super long & steven was laughing his body jolting-ear piercing laugh every 5 seconds. i'm sure everyone in front & back of us we're annoyed but oh well, it was fun! just what we needed before life changes a bit.

still too cold

they lasted about 10 minutes before they started to get the shivers

so for now its in their room & they pretend swim.
