Update

WOW its been forever since I have posted anything, and a lot of thing have happened.
First off Garrett arrived on March 1. After 2 long weeks of having contractions we finally got him here. We went in twice for false alarms. Once at 36 weeks and the other at 38. We would get to the hospital having contractions and as soon as they got me all hooked up to the monitors the contractions would drift away. Man I was so frustrated and so uncomfortable. The day before we had him my doctor striped my membranes and that made the contractions even harder. We finally went in on March 1 and they hooked me to the monitor and checked me. I was dilated to a five and my water sack was bugling. They normally would have sent me home but I had a really nice nurse and Doctor that said nope she is staying. I was happy to be finally past the triage. They got me to my room and the contractions really started coming. I got my epidural by the way the best epidural ever i still had full control of my legs and felt pressure but no pain. And soon after they broke my water and 1 1/2 later we had a baby. Garrett was born weighing 8 lb 5 oz. and 20 inches long. Compared to Carson's Delivery the time was about the same but enjoyed Garrett's delivery a lot more. I don't know if it because I knew what was going to happen and how it should feel or if it was my doctor and the care we received I'm not sure but I would totally do it again ( maybe lets wait a few years). Garrett is a really good baby. He doesn't really cry unless he is hurt, but he will grunt and squawk. He is doing two four hour stretches during the night. We feel so blessed to have two good sons.
Carson turned two on April 2. We went to Amanda and Jarred's house. He had so much fun playing with his cousins. Carson is really starting to use more of his words. It seems like he says a new word each day. Its really exciting to see him learn new things. Carson is all boy he loves dirt, cars and motorcycles and anything with a ball. He loves his brother and is really good with Garrett.
I will post pictures soon.

Baby Garrett 32 Weeks

Today we had a 3d ultra sound. I was fun to see our baby again. He was being a stinker and wouldn't let us get a good profile pic of him. The ultra sound tech even brought our a little vibrator to use to try and get him turned, but with no luck.

The first thing she said is he has hair. At least some peach fuzz. The arrow on the picture is pointing to it.

This is his leg. He already has chubby legs. I love to see rolls on my baby. :)


This is best picture of his profile we got. Looks like another McDaniel nose and maybe chubby cheeks :)

Christmas

This year for Christmas we traveled up to St. George. We had so much fun. Santa came over to the Johnson's house and Christmas eve eve. Carson wasn't so sure about him at first but then realized if he wanted a treat he had to see Santa. The pictures below are in the wrong order. I can't seem to figure out how to upload them right. Oh well



Christmas morning. If you look close Carson found his cousins tricycle and decided that was better then what Santa brought him.

Carson making sure Santa was OK.

This year we made homemade Cinnamon roll. Carson loved to help mommy make them.

We also went to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas light. Wow we think the Mesa Temple light display was amazing. We went with Amanda and Jarred and Kids. And Jarred's brother Josh and his family. It was great fun. Compared to the SLC light I liked them better because we didn't have to dress up in our winter coats and still freeze our bums off.
We didn't even take our coats!!! LOVED IT.
