Before I continue with "Our visit to see Nate" I thought I would insert this funny little story about what happened yesterday as we frantically drove to the hospital to see Nate born.
I drove the boys over to the hospital to see their new brother. When we arrived I decided to put some "chap stick" on my dried out lips. You know how you slather it on up around the outside of your lip line where it is so sore and chapped.
WELL....I grabbed the "chapstick" and proceeded to smear this on HEAVILY! Awww it felt soooo good! Felt so good in fact, that I put on WAY more than I usually do.Then I got out of the car and headed into the hospital with the boys. For some unknown reason I decided to go back to the car to grab my laptop. I reached into the car and got my computer and as I was getting ready to shut the door something prompted me to look in the mirror! To my HORROR I found that this was NOT clear chapstick- but rather HOT PINK LIPSTICK!!!!!
I very rarely wear lipstick so I don't know how it got in my car or who it belongs to. I grabbed the white end and didn't even notice the pink lid. Then I didn't look at what I was doing. Oh man! I am soooooo glad that I went back to my car before entering the hospital. That would have been so embarrasing. I am surprised that my grandsons didn't mention anything to me. Their grandma looked like a clown from Ringling Bro. Circus!
I was WAY freaked out because there was SO MUCH smeared on and I didn't think it would come off. Ash was ready to have the baby any moment and I was going to miss out on it because I had BRIGHT pink lipstick all over my face. LUCKILY it came right off. I don't know what I would have done if it wouldn't have. I would have probably SUCKED IT UP and walked in the hospital anyway. Nothing would stop me from seeing my new grandson.
I later showed my family what I had done and demostrated how I applied it, with the actual lipstick. They were ROLLING on the floor in laughter. Someone wanted me to take a picture of my face that way and post it on FB. I REFUSED! I looked like a TOTAL idiot! I can't imagine what my new grandson would have thought of me when he first laid eyes on me. WHAT KIND of GRANDMA am I going to be STUCK with???? A CRAZY CLOWN :)
Okay....back to my blog about Nate.
I took the boys up to the hospital to visit Nate one more time.
When we arrived he was sleeping so peacefully.....
The boys thought it was great that they could take their brother on a walk around the halls....In his BED! They also loved the fact that they could get goodies and drinks from the snack area.
My ROBOT boys.....
Time with Daddy and Nate...
Now Nate has CLOTHES on but Brayden wonders why they are NOT on the right body parts! Why are his SOCKS on his HANDS when they should be on his FEET!!!
Tyson explaining Nate's SOFT SPOT to the boys
Luke singing to his little Bro
Sleep tight, Nate.
We'll see you at home tomorrow :)
I took the boys home early to get them in bed. They settled down and fell asleep really FAST because I BRIBED them! he he he he :) I told them that if they went straight to bed, then as soon as they woke up in the morning, we would DECORATE the house for their baby brother's homecoming. IT WORkED!!! YAY!
February 2, 2011
As soon as the boys woke up the decorating began...
They both worked really hard on a poster to hang in their front window.
Video of the boys at work....
Brayden explaining his Dragon drawing.....
We blew up balloons.....
To put in the windows.....
They thought it was SO COOL that we put the balloons in the windows. Brayden kept saying that it looked like the whole house was filled ALL THE WAY UP with balloons!
Luke was drawing pictures for his baby brother as a gift.
I had him practice his handwriting at the same time. He did a great job and worked soooo hard on writing his letters. He kept saying that his brother was gonna be so proud of him (because he was doing such a good job) :) He was being so dang cute.
Time to go HOME....
All bundled up and ready to go....
Welcome home Nate!!!
Happy family together at last....
Luke helping out with Baby Nate....
He is such a great helper...
Nate is finally home and trying out his new crib. Not too sure he likes it. It is not as comfy and cozy as his mommy's arms.
Pick me up mom!!!!!
Ashlee decorated Nate's room up really cute...
Nate is going to be our sports stud!
Nate likes the soft comfy fouton instead of his crib.
I loved spending a week or so with Ash and the boys. I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with this little angel. I love how newborn babies tend to smile while they are sleeping. They are having SWEET DREAMS! He is such a doll!!!
I love this little man! I can't tell you how many times Nate would just lay there - for the longest time- and stare straight into my eyes as I talked to him. It seems like he was understanding EVERY word I was telling him. I am so excited for Steve to get here in a few more days so he can meet our newest grandchild.
Welcome home little guy! We love you so much and feel blessed to have you in our family!
