Well, it's been a little while since I have posted... But here we go!!

Jaeden is now 1 week and 2 days old, he came home on Sunday the 29th at around 11am and has done well, he had to have his tongue clipped underneath because he was having a hard time nursing and could not stick his tongue out past his gums, he was a champ tho. He had his first bath yesterday, the 5th of July, he was fine until we took his onesie off!!! LOL..Then all hell broke loose...LOL...I am also posting the finished pictures of the belly cast...



I painted the Jaeden, the rose, the frog, and the bear with the guitar... Mike did the symbol with the Little Sednem...And Diana did the smiley face with the tongue out...












Diana also painted the "Capperpillar" and the rose on this side!! These photos were taken 8 or 9 hours before he was born!!!

Jaeden James Mendes!!!

Jaeden James Mendes is FINALLY here!!!

Well I posted the belly cast pics the other day and, at midnight that night during the belly cast Diana had some back pains but we thought nothing of it... Well after not stopping the whole night and getting worse and worse she finally realized that she was is labor... I went over there at about 600pm on the 26th and she was having contractions 7 minutes apart. She tried to lay on her side and switch positions but that was not helping. She called the doctor and the nurse said he would call her back... So we all get the stuff ready and Mike lets the dogs out. No call from the doctor so they leave and me and my sis wait to go to the hospital till we hear more. I text Mike 949pm and he says they are staying, she is completely thinned and 5 cm!!! Yay!!! So my sister and I head to the hospital and we get there and Diana and her mom are walking the halls. Mike and Grandma Joan are in triage room number 4. So we begin the waiting game!!
