swaddle love

these swaddle blankets are seriously the best.

they're big like the hospital ones but are a thin comfy material for your baby.(muslin)

finnick loves them, his eyes get really heavy as soon as i swaddle him up.

i never really like to splurge on baby stuff. but i tell you these are worth it! now i just use the old receiving blankets for burp rags (they're too small to swaddle with anyway)

i want to swaddle little finny till he's eighteen with these blankies!

james' movies & brit boyfrenz

it's been a while since me scottish boyfriend james

has made a good movie, right?!

although i'd prefer himto do more romance/romantic comedies, these ones look pretty decent.

but..why the chin pubes james? why?!

i would believe you were from abraham lincoln's time just fine without them.

i'm so glad he's going to be in an x-men movie, steven has always been confused as to why he's my favorite and thinks he's stupid. but now that he'll be in a movie steven will for sure watch...he'll change his mind of course.

oh & i saw the preview to "water for elephants" and rob's interview on regis & kelly and i really want to read this before i see it. i asked steven if he would watch it with me afteri saw it & thought it would be one he would like. he said that just the fact that it had rob & elephants in the title said enough. and then i told him he might like it though, it's about a guy who joins the circus during the great depression era & he was like "i thought you couldnt lose me anymore on this, but you just did" i knew it was a long shot. i dont know why i try to make him watch these kind of movies with me anymore. he used to. but we're not dating anymore i guess:)

and i saw an interview with alex pettyfer in it and he's british! no wonder right?! they weresuch a cute couple, too bad he's a total psycho & she has to hide from him now.

the movie i am number four was great! i read the book before, also good. i love the way dianna dresses in this movie. quinn in glee dresses similar. dianna just has great style. i would totally want to dress jussst like her if i knew how & if i could pull it off.

i read this book "water wars" a few months ago & while i thought the book was just okay. the plot & storyline were pretty awesome. hey they should make a movie about it and make alex pettyfer, the character Kai!

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.

(Wesley in Tongan)

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
