A little Update

Hello all! Here is a little update for you on Jaden. This past weekend my dad and step mother Barb came up to visit. It was great seeing them because we haven't been able to see them since our wedding last may! We did a lot of thing with them. We went out for dinner and breakfast another day. On saturday we went to the Lincoln Childrens Zoo and we took all three little boys the only person who couldn't come was Aaron because he had to work.. bummer I know he would have loved it. It was the first time Amber and her family had been there and I know little Simon had a ball. He was soo well behaved. It made for a really good day. We then went back to my sisters house for some food and just hung out. It was really great getting to see everyone.

I posted the pictures above of my dad with jaden and Barb with him. The center is a picture of Jaden and his new teddy that grandpa gave him. He loves it! Above there is also a picture of Grandpa Chuck with all three of the grandboys. I love that picture! He looks soo proud (which he is!)

We took Jaden in for another check up yesterday. He now weighs about 9 1/2lbs. WOAH! My little man is getting big! He also grew two more inches. He is now about 22inches long. I also found out I'm down about another 8 lbs. SWEET! So I think the total weight loss has been about 21 lbs. That means I have lost all my baby weight plus 1 lb of my own. I hope this trend continues after I go back to work. Other then that Jaden has been doing well. He has been going through a little cluster feeding fase, but has been a pretty happy baby otherwise. He is getting more alert every day. Yesterday he was a little crabby so I made my own moby wrap. He was instantly happy. He was so comfy in that thing that he fell right asleep. After looking around at everything of course. He loves studying everything new around him. Bachi has been getting use to him. I think he actually may like him now. He sleeps next to us when we nap and has been a really good cat around him. I'm pleasantly suprised and happy.

Well thats about all for now. Time for a little tummy time with the little monkey now that he is awake, then on to another nap!

Love.

New Arival!

Jaden Alexander Pelster was born March 27th at 9:42 a.m. his weight was 7lbs 6oz and he was 20 and 1/4 inches long. He was born by c-section after a failed induction. He wasn't born the way we planned but we love him just the same!

After four days in the hospital we got to come home. Jaden's personality grows each day! He is a great sleeper once he gets to sleep. He is a super eater ( go figure). We love our new addition to our family!

Update

Well, I thought I would do better on updating daily in this blog. Um.. not so much. It has been a little hard considering I kind of had a busy week. I feel like I'm in baby scramble. This last weekend was my shower. I must say it was SUPER FUN! I'm really happy so many people were able to come and celebrate with me. I got to see friends whom I have not seen in a while and a former teacher who hasn't seen my sister or me for a REALLY long time. My sister and mom came up with some great games. They were really funnny. The rice one was really hard! I almost won that... darn aunt bev. I think what I loved the most was seeing how creative my family members are! So many homemade gifts. Would I expect anything less from the Steckelberg/Johnson/Kargol family. Nope. I was going to post some pictures, but I realized that I don't have batteries to put in my camera to get some. Bummer.

It was really nice getting out of lincoln. I had a hard time sleeping at my mom's house. It wouldn't be so hard but being almost 38 weeks pregnant it made it kinda tough. Since I'm so pregnant I usually wake up really early. Well in the morning that happend. I was really uncomfortable so I was going to sit up and watch some tv or something.. well my sister had been up and down with the boys all night and fell asleep in the arm chair. I felt bad and didn't want to wake her. She's been having muscle pain/issues in her shoulder for a while and knew she hadn't been sleeping well. I just returned to my room and tried to sleep. No go. So I decided to paint my toe nails (yes I can still reach them.. who knew?) and my nails to get ready for the day. By the time they dried my little nephews were up so I went out to say goodmorning and started the day.

Once we got back and go everything back to lincoln and up to our apartment I crashed on the couch. I was pooped! I still am a little tired, but this morning aaron let me sleep in and made me a HUGE breakfast in bed. YUMMMY. It was fun becuase we watched our favorite detective show before napping a while. Nice chill time with the hubby.

Tomorrow is my first internal exam. I'm not excited about the whole "internal" thing, but I would like to know if I've made ANY progress. My guess is not, but who knows? We are also setting up the crib and getting organized for jaden. I'm gonig to pack my hospital bag and get that all ready. I just hope I'm not too tired to get what I want to done.

Well thats all for tonight. Hope this finds you all well.

Love.
