Our sweet baby came a little early I was due on the 28th and he was kind enough to come 10 days early.

4:00 pm labor began  I woke up from a nap with steady painful contractions.
5:00 I called John to come and get me to head to the hospital.
5:30 Rocklond went to friends house for the night john calls to tell me there is rush hour traffic and he is going to be delayed.
6:00 John picks me up at our house
6:20 John and I arrive at the hospital
6:40 nurse checks me I am at 6cm (was at 2cm the day before at Drs appointment) my water still hasn't broken. I am asked if I want an epidural. I respond no, but I am open to the idea if the pain gets too bad.
7:30 Dr. checks me I am at 9cm my water still hasn't broken.
7:38 Water breaks right when all the nurses and Dr have left the room. I Scream "JOHN GET SOMEONE THE BABY IS COMING OUT!!!"
7:39 All nurses and Dr. are back in the room, they heard me scream. I am told to wait until the Dr. has her gloves on to push.
7:40 Dr tells me the baby has a lot of blond hair.

Funny things rocky does

here I am at 38 weeks.  I feel like I have a huge watermelon inside of my belly. 

rocklonf has learned to take the childproof locks off the doors. this means that he has full access to the once off limits pantry. 

I thought he was playing with his toys in his room. 

I shocked to find him downstairs under the table with a HANDFULL of Frosting.  I couldn't be too mad because I often get the same temptation to indulge in sweets. 

Rocklond and I waiting to go to church. He got some really cute new Sunday Clothes for Easter. 

this is the cutest picture from john's phone It was taken about a month ago. 

looking for Easter eggs. after the Easter egg hunt I told him to go and thank Grandma for everything he got. Later in the day he kept asking her if she was the Easter Bunny. 

Rocklond makes me laugh so hard every day. yesterday after church he had a little frog that was chasing a toy car around the room.  He then started singing "Follow the Prophet"  when I asked him to explain what he was playing he said that the car was the Prophet.  I never knew that that song could be background music for a chase. 

Decorating Easter Eggs

After preschool today all the moms came over and we had the kids decorate eggs. 

Here is a video of a puppet show they put on during preschool today.
