On Our Own

My Mom left us in tears on Saturday morning and we were left to fend for ourselves from now on. Sniff...sniff. I think we can manage, though! I am looking forward to getting into a new routine with the kids and resuming our usual activities, including school, Bible study, and playdates. It will feel good to feel "normal" again. Our meals from church, thankfully, start on Sunday and we are really looking forward to that...especially me since I won't have to cook for a while! Yippeeee!

The weather has been nice here lately so while my Mom was here we ventured out and about in the new ride (see below). I'm loving the double stroller, although I feel like I'm trying to navigate a bus through a mole hole at times! I still haven't figured out how you are supposed to open a door to a store, home, restaurant, etc. AND push the massive thing through...maybe some nice soul will have mercy on me and open doors for us! We went for a couple of walks and got ice cream....Ella Ann's new favorite is a strawberry ice cream cone topped with rainbow sprinkles! Boy was she grinning from ear to ear with that thing yesterday! She is such a clean child...probably the only kid I know who can take 30 minutes to eat an ice cream cone and not spill a drop! I know, I know....I have it in for me with a little boy! At least I have one child that is a neat/clean freak like myself! We also swung by the playground for Ella Ann to play a little while on our way back to the house. We bundled Rane up even though it was 65 degrees! He looked so cute!

I have to give myself a pat on the back because I got Rane, Ella Ann and I dressed, fed and out the door by 8:50 this morning to head to church. Spencer had to work this morning but did manage to make it to church and help me home. All went very smoothly and I was proud I made it out alone, easily, for the first time! Yeay!

Well that's really about it. We sure enjoyed having my Mom stay with us for a week and we'll miss her a ton. Ella Ann did NOT want her to go! Thanks again, Mom, for driving down here and taking such good care of our family and our house AND sleeping on an air mattress for an entire week!!!! Thanks, too, Dad for sharing Mom! We love you!

Off to school.....

Rane checking out Ella Ann....he's always watching her, in fact he probably sleeps with one eye open! :)

Sibling bonding!

Awwww!

I couldn't resist! He looks like an Eskimo!

The new ride! We all love it!

Sweet Jana made these beautiful door signs as a gift for the kids. They match perfectly and we love them! Thanks SO much Jana!!!!

Can you believe she painted the ballerina????

I will post pics of the nursery as soon as I get some things on the wall, but his sign matches his bedding. Very cute!!!!

I frothed Ella Ann's milk this morning and you should have seen the joy on her face! She said to me, "I'm drinking a cappuccino!!! I want one everyday!" Me too, Ella Ann, me too. She also insisted that she use one of my small coffee spoons so she could eat the foam! I've created a monster!

Spencer snapped this picture of us napping this afternoon. I think he kinda looks like me...or maybe I'm just willing him to resemble me!

Two Kids?

Wow, we have KIDS now! ha! I have to admit that life with two, so far, has been easy going....well, maybe that's because I've had helping hands since I got home from the hospital! Rane is a breeze and I'm praying that it lasts and it's not just a newborn thing. He is a fantastic eater...keeps me tied to the couch every two hours on the dot but I think he's ready to go some feedings with 2.5 hours in between. At night I am up only two times and he goes right back to sleep. He usually wakes again between 6 and 7:30. It's really not bad! Ella Ann has eased up on her hovering and dearly loves her little brother. She is quite a big help to me and loves to fetch me things when I am occupied feeding Rane and enjoys watching me change his diaper and his clothes. I let her pick out what he wears for the day and she always helps give him a washcloth bath.

I had their picture made yesterday morning by a friend from church who took Ella Ann and Mara Kate's pictures last year at Piedmont Park when they turned two. Ella Ann loves Bobbi Jo so she was very cooperative and we all had a good time. Bobbi Jo gave us a sneak peak of the photos so HERE is the link to view them.

Also here are some pictures from our week so far with Mimi:

Mom brought Ella Ann a tea set and as soon as she opened it she put up her animals at the table and we helped her get it all set up! Now all she wants to do is "go have coffee!"

And to top it all off she put on Belle yesterday and had tea! Now that's a princess!!!!

Our dear friends, Emily and Paul, sent us some YUMMY chocolate covered strawberries! Aren't they so pretty? I had to take a picture of them so Spencer could see them all nice and pretty before I tore into them!

Some friends of my family sent Ella Ann this adorable outfit (you cannot see the coordinating belt and flowers on her pockets) and Rane an outfit for when he is a little older. I took a picture of her when she got home from school this afternoon because she looked so cute...too bad she decided not to give me a cute smile! :)

Some rare cuddle time with Rane.

Lunch with Mimi.

He sure loves the paci already and Ella Ann is on constant paci police duty and is obsessed with shoving it in his mouth 24/7! We now put them up high in his closet so she cannot 1) reach them and 2) suck on them herself which we have found her doing!

He's almost 2 weeks old!

Photos Finally

I don't have much time to type (guess I better get used to that) but here are TONS pictures of Rane! We are doing fantastic, by the way. He is such a great baby! Ella Ann is still adjusting, but doing fine. She loves her baby brother and is quite a little helper. She pulls a stool up to the changing table every time it's time to change his diaper! She is the pacifer police and wants to insert that thing...very roughly may I add...every 5 seconds. If he becomes addicted to the paci it will be all her fault! :)

Again, I linked the photos from Facebook because I have so many. So click HERE to view them.

Rane Simms Jensen

Yeay he has arrived! Rane was born at 12:01 a.m. on January 9th. He weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches. He has a head full of spiky, dark brown hair...which we love! He was due January 7th, which obviously came and went. I had a doctor's appointment the next afternoon and I had mentioned to my doctor that he wasn't moving very much so they sent me down to labor and delivery to be hooked up to the fetal monitor for 30 minutes. By the way, Ella Ann was with me and Spencer had come home very sick that morning so he was in bed. After being on the monitor for just a few minutes, I started having contractions 2 minutes apart that grew stronger and stronger. I called Spencer and he came to the hospital and our parents started the long trip down from Kentucky. Poor Ella Ann, she was such a little trooper. Her and I had already been at the hospital for over 3 hours and she just sat on the bed with me the entire time without complaining, except for when she dropped her guinea pig in the trash can and I couldn't get up to get it out for her! Jana came to the hospital to pick her up and she stayed at her house....had a BLAST....overnight. Ella Ann went to her first sleepover at the age of 3 and did fantastic, but she was with her beloved best friend so I knew she would much rather be there than with her Mommy and Daddy! Jana was so kind to keep her....her sister and her two kids were visiting as well so it was a packed apartment that night! To see some pictures of Ella Ann's big night, click HERE to view Jana's post. Thank you again, Jana!!!!!!
After being in triage because of a full house for over 5 hours, they finally moved me to a delivery room and that's when things really got going. I had asked for my epidural around 9 when I was 6 cm. dilated and the anesthesiologist just so happened to have 3 emergency c-sections at the same time so I was dropped to the bottom of the priority list! Great! By the time he arrived with the medication (oh and I had asked my nurse at least 50 times when he was coming and she kept telling me he would be there soon and I WOULD get my epidural) it was time to push. I was in SO much pain. I don't see why in the world anyone would voluntarily skip the epidural and want to go through childbirth naturally! No way! The anesthesiologist did start the line for the epidural and managed to shoot in a bit of some kind of pain medication to get through the pushing but I was not fully numb whatsoever. The good thing was that since I could feel everything I was able to push really well and get him out in 5 minutes. Ahhhh such relief! I felt like a new person! Thankfully Spencer was able to rally and help me out even though he felt miserable.

Our parents arrived shortly after only to be shocked that I had already had him! It passed so, so fast! I was able to get up by myself and walk around as needed after having him because I wasn't numb, so that was another plus to no epidural. Spencer went home that night because he needed to rest in a bed and not on a couch but none of us got much sleep because we were too excited. The next day big sister Ella Ann came barreling through my hospital door and was ready to hold her baby broder! She is in love with him, to say the least. She is his mother hen and wants to hold him every waking minute and has a very hard time "letting" anyone else hold him! We are going to have our hands full with her....poor Rane!

Spencer and I actually enjoyed our time at the hospital because we had lots of alone time to talk and spend time with our new baby. We loved having our parents here, especially since they took such good care of Ella Ann. She was spoiled rotten!!! We got home from the hospital Sunday morning and have been trying to get back into the swing of things. Spencer has this week off and then my Mom is coming down next Sunday to stay the week so I'm so thankful to have 2 full weeks of an extra pair of hands!

Rane is doing well, by the way. He is one good baby so far! He never cries, really he doesn't, just smacks his lips and roots when he wants to eat. He wants to eat every 2 hours so that's kind of hard but other than that he's a breeze. We'll see how the next few weeks play out, though!

I only have a few pictures to post at the moment because we accidentally left the cord to upload pictures in my father-in-law's laptop case so he has to mail it back to us. Once I get that I will post a ton of new pictures!!!!!

He already found his thumb....must be a genetic thing at this point!

So Bored

Yes I am SO bored waiting on this baby! Ella Ann and I have exhausted most of her Christmas toys last week, or at least I am so over them! Her favorite thing to do every single day, and I mean EVERY SINGLE DAY, is dress up as either Tinkerbell or Belle and play in her dollhouse. Favorite phrase: "Mommy, play with me!!" Ahhhh yes, school starts back on Wednesday...hallelujah! I have resorted to taking pictures of Ella Ann dressed up and playing with one of her other favorites, her bilibo. We have found all kinds of uses for that thing! It's fantastic!

Here's Tink taking a spin in it this afternoon!

Her best Spencer Jensen face. :)

She also loves to stand on it and jump off, or use it to get a better view out of our windows!

Beautiful Belle

Well I couldn't resist posting a few more pictures of Ella Ann dressed as Belle. She has refused to put on the costume since she received it for Christmas but yesterday I talked it up and she was ready to transform herself into a princess! She looks SO cute in it and I just love it! I told her we need to go to a ball and find her a prince! Of course her response was, "What's a prince?" Then I had to go into a big long explanation about who a prince was! She loved wearing the princess costume and stayed in it all afternoon. We have played with her dollhouse every waking hour pretty much since her birthday and since she received several more rooms to go in it for Christmas that's all she wants to do. Yesterday she had a really hard time playing with it because that massive hoop skirt kept getting in the way and knocking over everything! She even would loose her people under her skirt! Furthermore, my house has been covered in green glitter from Tinkerbell but now we have a big dusting of gold glitter from Belle that is everywhere! I have to indulge, though, because what little girl doesn't want to be a princess??? I'll suffer through the glittered house for it!

On a side note, I have to tell you all what Ella Ann said yesterday. I posted last month about Ella Ann and her really getting into the "real" Christmas spirit with learning about the birth of Jesus and the days leading up to it. Yesterday she put all of her dollhouse people in their van so I asked her where they were going. Her response, "To Bethlehem." I laughed SO hard and then asked her why they were going to Bethlehem. Her nonchalant response was, "To see Baby Jesus in the stable." Gotta love it!

Belle making her grand entrance! She has to pick up the front so she doesn't trip over it!

Christmas Round #2

My parents came down on Christmas Eve to spend the holiday with us since I can no longer travel. They got here just in time for our traditional Christmas Eve appetizer spread that we had for dinner. We had our usual sausage balls, shrimp, beef tenderloin and turkey with party rye, and this year I threw in some stuffed mushrooms and crab dip. Yummy!!! Ella Ann and I had made cookies for Santa earlier in the week so we got that out to put on her "Cookies for Santa" plate that she had made for us at school, along with some carrots for Santa's reindeer. She knew Santa was coming to our house that night, but that didn't seem to keep her from falling asleep or sleeping in in the morning! My parents got to our house before Spencer and I were even awake to make sure they didn't miss Ella Ann getting out of her bed Christmas morning and seeing all that Santa had for her under the tree! It was SUCH a fun morning/day! Ella Ann raced into our living room to find that Santa had left her a cradle and high chair for her babies and "Elmo Live", along with many presents from my parents and Spencer and I under the tree. Santa was REALLY good to Spencer and I too, especially with our stockings! Even Baby Boy had his own stocking! The stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas because my parents really go above and beyond the call of duty with them. My Mom had fixed them up in our living room the night before and then covered them all with a big sheet so the three of us would be surprised in the morning. Once we went through our stockings, we had breakfast casserole and watched Ella Ann play with some of her new toys. She only asked one time to open gifts, I think the stocking was plenty for her!

We went to our church's Christmas service at 10:30 and then came home and ate our Christmas Eve spread again and opened our gifts. It was so fun to watch Ella Ann tear into her gifts and want to get out every single thing she got immediately and play with it! We tried to take our time, though, to make the occasion last a little longer. I think her favorite gifts were a bouncing ball with a handle for her to ride on across our house, rooms for her dollhouse along with the family's van, a Bilibo (can't really describe what that is), and her Tinkerbell costume.....oh and of course more Baby Legs!

That evening Mom and I prepared our usual Christmas dinner and it was fantastic! IT was so nice to have everything the same, as it should be, on Christmas even though we were not at my parent's house like usual. My parents did everything they could, as did I, to make sure it stayed the same. Ella Ann crashed early that evening since she didn't have a nap and so did the rest of us.

We just hung out and played at our house on Friday and went out for pizza that night....no more leftovers please! My Mom and Dad left Saturday morning after stopping by our house to say goodbye and visit for a little bit. It all passed so fast and we were sorry to see them leave but we know they could be back in a matter of hours or days!!! Thank you again, Mom and Dad, for a wonderful Christmas!

Again, I took a ton of pictures so HERE they are!

A First

Yesterday afternoon Ella Ann and I went to Megan's house to play and decorate a gingerbread house with her little boy, Luke. I should have done something like this with Ella Ann already, but it has completely slipped my mind. I was really excited for Ella Ann to do this and she was too even though she didn't know what she'd be doing! Of course both of them wanted to start eating the house itself as soon as they saw it, not to mention the bowls filled with candy in front of them! They both did a really good job and Megan and I had fun watching them do it and trying to keep them from eating it all, although Luke did manage to sneak in eating an entire Christmas tree! ha! Here are some pictures from our visit:

Waiting oh-so patiently for Megan to get the icing ready.

Megan trying to assemble the house before the kids attacked it!

Luke eating the tree!!!

Well since Luke decided to chow down of course Ella Ann had to start eating the candy!

So proud of the award-winning gingerbread house!

Ella Ann getting her baby fix with little Henry!

I also wanted to share some funny things that Ella Ann has said in the past few days:

We were walking into Trader Joe's the other day and they had big silver snowflakes dangling from the ceiling. Ella Ann started shouting, "LOOK AT ALL DOSE CORNFLAKES MOMMY!!!"

The three of us watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the original version) a few nights ago and Ella Ann got pretty upset with the Grinch but afterwards starting talking herself into actually liking him by saying, "That Grinch! He's soooo nice! I loooooove the Grinch!" Spencer asked her if she wanted to watch it again and her immediate response, "No, no, no." This morning at breakfast I told her that Santa was going to come tomorrow night while she was sleeping. She got a really concerned look on her face and asked me, "Is he going to take all of our presents?" If you have seen the Grinch then you know he dresses up like Santa and takes all the presents from the Whos in Whoville. I then had to explain to her that Santa was going to bring her some presents not take them away!

Weekly Wrap Up

This week was pretty busy which seems to be the case every single week since Halloween for us! I cannot believe Christmas is THIS week! That also means our little baby will be here soon as well! Yeay! I'm tired of waiting, tired of being fatigued (which I know that's not going to go away even after the baby's born!), tired of pregnancy pains, and tired of not being able to squeeze Ella Ann while she sits on my lap because I have a huge belly in the way! Okay, enough "me" complaints and on with our weekly update! Ella Ann finished up preschool this week until next year. I wanted to really end the semester on a good note since next time I take her I will probably have her brother which will make it even harder for her to part with me. I actually tried the carpool line this week at drop off and it went amazingly well. I was happy about that because that's how I plan to drop her off once this baby gets here because I'm certainly not hauling him inside! Unfortunately, though, we didn't get to end on a happy note. Spencer met me at her school on Wednesday morning to watch her in their Christmas program. I knew they had been prepping for this since Thanksgiving because Ella Ann has been singing all the songs. Well as soon as her class paraded into the room and she spotted Spencer and I she completely lost it and sat on the front row and cried until her teacher brought me to her. Yup, she was the first kid to break down....but not the only one! I coerced her back up on stage with the promise that I would sit in front of her. She still didn't utter a word to a single song but sat their giving everyone the hairy eyeball. It was just lovely. Her teachers told me afterward that she was having a bad day because she kept asking for her "new animal." I stopped allowing her to take her brown horsey to school a few weeks ago and it had been smooth sailing ever since so when I was told there was an animal I immediately asked, "What new animal?" Her teacher pointed to her backpack and what do I see?? Ohh her beloved guinea pig's rear end sticking out of her backpack! She snuck that thing in! I couldn't believe she did that! That's why she had had such a bad day because she knew the guinea pig was there but her teachers wouldn't let her have it. Arghhhh! I guess I'm going to have to pat her down before releasing her from my car at school from now on!! ha!

Ella Ann has recently started dressing up in costumes....VERY often. She wears her tutu that the Evans' got her for Christmas each day. I have given in and let her wear it when we run errands. She also decided that she wants to be Minnie Mouse (her Halloween costume from a year ago) the past 2 days. I let her wear it to Kroger, Trader Joe's, and Target yesterday and to my surprise it made a lot of people smile! One woman wanted to take a picture of her! I always get a kick out of a kid I see out and about wearing a silly costume in the middle of the summer or something but to have my own child do it is a different story. It does make you laugh and can brighten your day if you're having a bad one so maybe Ella Ann is spreading some holiday cheer! :) Her Baby Legs are also an item of clothing that she refuses to take off. They are not tights but are leggings with no waist or feet. She wants to wear them every day so this week I have let her wear them often...thank goodness my parents are giving her more for Christmas, along with some Disney costumes! It's been an interesting fashion week in our household!

On Friday morning one of our friends was hosting a birthday party for Jesus. Her daughter, Anna-Kate, is one of Ella Ann's buddies. We had such a good time! Janelle, Anna-Kate's Mom, read the Christmas story before the kids made a craft, ate lunch, sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus, ate birthday cake and decorated cookies. It was really fun for everyone! Spencer and I have been trying really hard to put Santa on the back burner and focus on the true meaning of Christmas and Ella Ann has really gotten into it. In fact after bath time this week Spencer had wrapped up Ella Ann in her big towel and as he was carrying her back to her bedroom she looked at him and said, "I'm Baby Jesus." She is so funny!

Kane, Jana and Mara Kate came over Saturday night to eat pizza and play the new Wii games we received from the Jensens last weekend. We had a blast together! We got Mario Kart, which is a racing game, and the steering wheels to go with it so it really feels like your driving. We competed against each other and was really fun! The boys also played a couple of other games while Jana and I chatted, of course! The girls played Wii as well and Mara Kate loved it. She was way more interested in watching the adults play Wii than play baby dolls with Ella Ann! hahahahaa!

This morning the 3 of us went to church and then hit Starbucks afterward. Ella Ann has now started making coffee in her little kitchen each morning while I sit on the couch and drink mine. I predict she's going to develop a love of coffee too early in life!

The two of us went over to Jana's on Wednesday afternoon and I told Ella Ann she could pick out what she wanted to wear. This is what she looked like.....

don't forget the Baby Legs!

Janelle, in the green sweater on the floor, reading the Christmas Story.

A New Driver In the Family

Ella Ann, my little three-year-old smarty pants, has become the newest want-to-be driver in our family. Every time we are in the car she has no problem telling me how to drive. "Mommy, you stop at red lights, go at green lights, and slooooooow down at orange lights, okay?" Here is our conversation on our way to school Monday morning:

EA: "Mommy!!! You CAN'T turn on red lights!!!!"

Me: "Ella Ann, I can turn right on red it's okay."

EA: "NO YOU CAN'T!!!!" "IT'S RED NOT GREEN!" "YOU CAN ONLY GO ON GREEN MOMMY!!!"

Me: "YES, I can turn right on red!" "I KNOW how to drive Ella Ann!"

EA: "No you don't!" "You can ONLY go on green!" "Don't do that Mommy!" "You have to be careful!"

Me: "Okay Ella Ann you are right." "Next time you can drive us to school."

EA: "Okay!"

Yes, I was arguing with her on the rules of the road! Sometimes I just like to argue back to see what she'll say....often I'm glad I do because it's usually pretty funny!

Before we left for school today I grabbed a big oats container out of our recycling containers that were outside for pickup this morning. I forgot I wanted to keep it to make a "I'm thankful" drop bin so we can, throughout the year, write on a strip of construction paper what we are thankful for at a particular moment or day and then read them all at Thanksgiving next year and make a paper chain out of it. I mindlessly grab the container and throw it in the car to take back inside when I get home. Well, as I'm driving along I look over at the oats container only to see a big slug working it's way out!!! I scream, of course! Ella Ann starts yelling, "WHAT? WHAT?" I tell her what it is and start laughing and pick up the container to show the slug to Ella Ann, who then flips out and wants it out of her face immediately! I just think it will stay in the container (it was going back in) while we are in the car so I just tell myself I'll throw it away when I get home. Well it does not. I look over and now it's trying to get on my purse so I start screaming again and I look back at Ella Ann and she's got her legs and her arms curled up as tight as they can possibly get against herself in the car seat (as if it's going to jump to the back seat) and she starts yelling, 'GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT MOMMY! NOW!!!!" I wheel the car into a shopping center and get rid of that slug asap! Ahhhh....gotta love interesting mornings to start your day off right! :)

One more thing, Jana took this picture of the girls Sunday night at our church's Christmas cantata service. I stole it off her blog to post on mine because it was too cute! They are wearing their matching green bows!

Christmas Round #1

This weekend we celebrated Christmas a little early (because of my pregnancy) with the Jensen family. On Friday afternoon Gary, Gayla, Mandy, Carter and Seth (Zach arrived in the evening) got here. The kids played like crazy while the rest of us did some catching up and preparing dinner. Unfortunately Spencer came down with the stomach virus on Thursday and it still hasn't let up as of today so he missed nearly all of our Christmas. We were all disappointed that he didn't get to enjoy 1) a rare weekend off and 2) very special time with his family at Christmas. Zach, Mandy and their boys stayed with us that night so it was really fun, especially for Ella Ann, to wake up Saturday morning and have her cousins waiting on her in the living room! She was so excited that everyone was here, as were Spencer and I!

Craig and Kasey arrived early on Saturday so we prepared a big lunch with lots of good appetizers and after that it was time to open presents! Carter was about to bust at the seams he was so ready to open his presents that said "C-A-R-T-E-R" on them! He hunted for his gifts the night before and knew where they all were when it was time to open them! We all took turns opening our gifts (youngest to oldest so Baby Boy Jensen was the first to go each round!) and it was over before we knew it. Everyone got lots of wonderful things, especially the kids (too much) and it was fun to watch them play with all their new stuff. Ella Ann got a purple and pink tutu from her cousins and she kept it on most of the afternoon (played football toss in it) and has had it on all day today! She also got a couple of games, puzzles, books, rooms for her dollhouse and clothes. All stuff she loves!

We had our big Christmas dinner that evening and we all enjoyed the good food....except for Spencer. :( Craig and Kasey spent the night with us last night and then everyone left this morning. Ella Ann was sad to see the festivities come to an end and everyone go home, but it all begins again next week when my parents come down for our Christmas with them! Thank you Gary, Gayla, Zach, Mandy, Carter, Seth, Craig, and Kasey for making the long trip down here, spending the weekend with us and for all the wonderful gifts and food you brought! We are very thankful for each of you!

I took a lot of pictures so click HERE to view them.

Silent Night

We have really enjoyed singing Christmas songs with Ella Ann this month and I didn't realize how much she was paying attention until she sung "Silent Night" in it's entirety the other day in the car! I always sing this to her at night in bed and she's always sucking her thumb so she doesn't sing along. This really reminded me that she IS paying attention and IS listening to me (most of the time) so that has made me realize I need to be very careful what I talk about in front of her and to make sure I talk about important things to her, like the birth of our Lord this holiday season. My oh-so-wonderful (and very crafty) best friend, Jana, has helped out in that department by making our family an Advent Tree and each night we have enjoyed reading scripture and putting on a new piece on our Tree. It is wonderful to think that this will be a part of our family forever and we will always remember the Barker's each Christmas because of it. I will take a picture of it when it is completed on Christmas Day and post it on the blog. We love it! Thanks again Jana!!

Okay, so I did manage to catch Ella Ann on video singing "Silent Night" tonight with her babies. She left out a verse, but it is still a memorable video!

Can you tell she was born in the south at all??? :) So precious!
