Jacob Riley Richardson

My Mom giving Jake his first bath!

Well I thought I would do an update on our new little guy! We had Jacob Riley Richardson on 10-10-10! He was 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and 20 inches long! Saturday night Caleb and I took Josi out on a date! We took her to chillies and then to Target and came home and watched toy story and ate popcorn! She was so excited to have some special time with mom and dad and we loved it! At 3am I woke up thinking that I had peed my pants, so I went and changed my clothes and it happened again! I was trying to wake up Caleb who was sooooooooooo out of it. He was not registering that I was telling him my water had broke. I got up and looked on line to see if it was my water and it said it might be, I was not convinced and I really didn't want to get sent home so I got in the shower and went back to sleep! That morning I woke up to realize it was defiantly my water! We rushed out of the house and headed to Riverton hospital. We dropped Josi off at my parents and got admitted right in! My doctor was already there delivering babies and so he came in to say hi! He is seriously the best doc ever! They started the pitosin around 10:30 and the pains started coming! I got my epidural but it wasn't working on the left side. The contractions were killing me, but it finally worked a little. Jake was born at 3:27pm with no complications! They were about to move me when they realized I was having some major clotting. They got everything figured out and moved us to our room! Can I just say I love Riverton Hospital, the delivery rooms are huge and the room we stayed in was super nice too! I also loved my labor and delivery nurse Lindsay! She was so cute! We left the hospital Tuesday at 12 and headed home. When we got home Caleb had to hurry and do some homework for his Anatomy class that night. I thought I was going to have a nervous break down because he had to leave that night for class but my Mom came out and helped! He had to go to open lab after and he didn't get home till 12am. He had class the next morning at 7am so the first 2 days home started out rough. We than found out Jake had high Billy Rubin so we had to keep getting him checked. His levels came down on there own, so we thankfully didn't have to do the lights! Also he got a horrible circumcision and it is going to take some extra healing time. So after many visits to the doctor, we woke up to go get his pictures taken. Jake had a horrible smell to him, he smelled like a rotting corpse! We ran him into the pediatrician to find out his belly button was infected. We have him on an antibiotic and his belly button has fallen off and he seems to be doing great now! It seems like things are going to start to mellow out around here finally! I got all caught up on my laundry today and I think I might survive having 2 kids! Josi is absolutely in love with her little brother. She says at least 10 times a day that he is so handsome! She also had a baby, she named her Kenzi! She was pregnant the whole time I was! In fact at the hospital she peed her pants and told my mom her water broke! She is fully potty trained and that's what makes it funnier! She got a baby that came with a stroller and swing and crib! She is quit the little mother! She loves it, and she seems to be adapting great! Jake is sleeping about 3 hour spurts for now, and he LOVES to eat! Good thing he has plenty to eat! I am pumping about 40-60 ounces of milk a day! I know that seems crazy, I agree! I have a high hormone that makes me produce like a machine! Babies are so fun, and it makes me wonder why I deserve 2 perfect little angels! We are all so excited that Jake made his debut finally and we cant wait to get to know him more!

She says the darndest things!

So Josi has been saying the funniest things ever, it seems like everyday I could post something funny that she blurts out! She told me today " Mommy if you could get a little bit smaller you could ride in my barbie car with me!" Also, " Mommy, you have a big nose, and I have a small nose!" She told me this week that she is a busy woman! She really is too, she keeps all of us busy. Caleb and I decided to take her to Chucky Cheese for the first time today. I seriously thought she was going to have a heart attack. She loved it, and kept saying over and over, Thanks... I love Chucky CHEEZIT! She thinks that's his name! I have decided that since I am just not having this baby, that I will take this time and really focus my attention this week on Josi. I am going to do something with her each day. I am all done doing hair until November, and just really trying to enjoy just having my sweet little Josi for a few more days. She is so excited to be a big sister, and is really anxious to feed him a bottle! I hope she does OK , and adjusts good! O ya, she also told my nephew who was picking his nose that prince charming does not pick his nose!

So whats new here? Well I am going crazy over here! I am dialated to a 2 and 70%, that was last week and I go in tomorrow. I am scheduled to induce the 11th of October, but the Doctor says I wont make it. I think that makes it worse. I have been mowing the lawn cleaning like crazy and walking everyday. Im hoping this little baby comes soon, I have my bags packed in my car ready to go! Josi says she is pregnant as well with a baby girl named Kenzi. She has told us that she gets tired while pregnant, and that her water broke! She kills me, I cant stop laughing at her! We love her so much and it is gonna be crazy to have another! She is going to be a great big sister! We will keep ya posted!

The babys room so far!

So here are a few pictures from the baby's room! I still have a few

things to do with it, but this is it in a nut shell!

Its a TRANSPORTATION ROOM!!!

I think its so cute, I keep finding Caleb in the room

moving the cars and rearranging things!

Caleb has been so excited about decorating this room!

He hung these planes from the ceiling and painted the wall as well!

Our New Family Pictures!

These are our latest Family pictures! Josi is so funny during pictures. She is usually so animated and she gets a little camera shy! She is so funny! We decided to do one more family shoot before this cute little baby comes to our house in 8 weeks! Josi is the light of our lives and she is such a sweet girl! During the shoot she had some of the funniest faces that I will post later! This girl has about a million faces, her face says it all!

Potty Princesses!

So we have finally jumped a huge hurdle with Josi! Caleb's mom has these princesses from Disney land that she loves to play with when we go over to her house. She let Josi borrow a couple to play with and she was so excited. She would not put them down and I thought to myself..... self if she loves them so much buy her her own set and let her earn them a day at a time! So I did just that, I ordered some and told her she could have one each day that she is dry all day! She has earned one and I will be shocked if she doesn't earn another today! She is getting so big and its so nice to think she will be potty trained when the baby gets here! One less expense to worry about buying diapers for 2 kids! She gave grandmas back so its even more exciting for her to know that they are hers! She is so cute, I really cant even stand it! I forgot to blog about her nightmare about grasshoppers and frogs. Poor girl was scared to death, she said that there were frogs in her bed and grasshoppers in mine. We have had a ton of grasshoppers this year and I was complaining about them and it must have scared her. I told her a story about a little girl who was scared of frogs and a frog that was scared of little girls that turn out to be friends and she has seemed a lot better since then. She still asks each day if there are grasshoppers or frogs in our house and I tell her that they live outside! She is such a good girl! I'm glad she is not having bad dreams anymore! O and only 9 weeks to go!

Lady Antebellum

this is us stuck in traffic trying to get to Usana Ampitheater.

We left with 2 hours to get there and it took 3 long hours.

We got there to see Lady A sing the last song.

I was so ticked, but it was still fun!

Lady A

This is us at the concert!

Caleb wanted me to clarify that his drink is an

energy drink!

We had a great time out!

Summer Adventures!

Josi and Jace at the Cabin
My Dad built a way awesome fire pit at the Cabin!
This is him placing all the rocks into place!
It has stairs that lead down to it, and huge boulders to sit on!
He is so cute, he got it all done so it would be perfect
for girls camp for my ward!
What a wonderful Dad I have!


I think Josi would swing all day if someone would
push her! My mom pushed her for me at the cabin to
give this preggo gal a break! She is such a cute Grandma
to all the grand kids!


Not that my Dad isn't busy enough but he came out and
tilled my garden all up for me! He also brought us trees that day
that he has grown and fixed a few sprinklers!
Caleb has been so slammed with homework that my cute
dad came out to help! I love him!



Here are the trees and mulch he brought out for us!

Josi is super lucky, she has these aunts and uncles that

fight over her! She had so much fun swimming with Nate, Kathy, Natalie

and Andy. They are so cute with her!

She would come over and snuggle up by me for a few

and then back to the fun people!

Caleb is so good about taking her to the pool!

She loves swimming with him, and

he has been teaching her to swim a little 2!

He is so funny, he puts floaties and a life jacket on her!

Some of my friends at the pool were saying how cute it is that

he is so concerned! He is a very good Daddy!

We have had a great summer, we swim a lot and have spent lots of

time at the Cabin. Its so fun to go up there! We have been enjoying all the warm weather

finally!

Catching up again!!!

Well its been forever since I have caught up the good old blog! Things are good around the Richardson house these days. Josi is so dang cute, I just really love her sooo much! She is getting so big, we just moved her into a big bed that she is so thrilled about! It is her Cinderella bed as she calls it. She has done great and loves sitting in her bed and reading books! I just went in to check her for the night and found her laying on top of 3 books! She is so funny, she is about 90% potty trained. She loves princess stickers and gets so excited to get more and more stickers to share with everyone around her. She is getting excited about the baby, she keeps telling me she has a baby in her tummy too. She said something so funny, we were watching Dumbo and at the beginning when the Stork was carrying all the white bags in with the baby animals Josi says "O look Mom, that birds been to Walmart" She loves walmart and loves making friends anywhere we go! She is a smart little cookie, and is so sweet! She always says mom I love you.... your my best friend. I really don't know how I got so lucky to have such an angel in our home!
The pregnancy is going well now, I am finally done throwing up and I feel better. I am due October 15th and it cant come soon enough. I am decorating the nursery and I cant wait to get it all done. I am doing a transportation room, i will posts some pictures when I get it all done! I have had some crazy things happen with this pregnancy, I am on my 5th ultrasound. I had to go to primary children's hospital to have an echo cardiogram on the babies heart. They found a very healthy heart in the end, but it totally had me worried. Also I have low line placenta so they are just watching it real close and we will see if we need to take the baby Cesarean in the end. He is an active little guy. He is pretty hyper actually, sometimes I feel like he is having a crazy game of soccer in my belly! I was nervous because I totally fell down the stairs last week on my bum! It is all sorts of bruised but the Doctor said that he is totally fine. Its just me that was hurt, and I'm totally cool with that! I'm getting excited for this baby boy, I love looking for clothes and cute things!
Caleb is a crazy school maniac, he is on his second semester of just summer school. He has got straight A's in every single class since starting our little adventure! He will be applying for the nursing program next fall and that's so exciting! This has been the best semester for me so far only because I have got to see him more. He is such a hard worker, and stays so busy and so motivated! He is such a good dad and even with being so busy takes so much time to make sure Josi gets his love and attention! He is so excited for a boy and has had some great ideas for the nursery as well.
As for me, I am doing good. I am just starting to feel huge and I still have 3 months to go! That's OK..... it will all be worth it. I am a little nervous because of our schedule these days, but I know its gonna work out. I am scared to have 2 kids and have Caleb gone so much, but I am just lucky to have Josi and she really is such a dream! I'm still doing hair like a mad woman and its getting a little harder cuz my belly is getting in the way! I have been enjoying my yard this year and have planted lots of stuff! That's my update, we spent the 4th at the cabin and girls camp as well. They were both so fantastic, and we are so lucky to get to spend time up there! We hope you are all doing well!
