Stetson Ford!

I can honestly say that Stetson's birth was amazing, yet the most horriblest thing I have ever gone through.  Unfortunately my epidural didn't take. I have never experienced so much pain in my life.  With Judd & Remi the epidural worked delightfully so I didn't prepare myself at all for the situation of it not working.  During the birth poor Jon had to sit down because he went from three shades of green to completely white.  At every birth he has almost passed out.  I tease that he can gut a deer but he becomes milk toast in the event of me giving birth.  I take it as a sign of love that he doesn't like seeing me in so much pain :). 

 

Once Stetson was born I was just so grateful to have him here safe and sound.  He is the sweetest little thing and I enjoyed bonding with him in the hospital.  I was so impressed with American Fork Hospital.  I think the best part was the food.  I ordered a milk shake at every meal.  I am really never ready to leave the hospital.  And, I am not going to lie...3 kids is kicking my trash.  I don't dare leave my home unless someone else is there to help me with the kids.  Hopefully I will become brave and be able to handle it on my own. 

 

Judd adores Stetson and he is seriously my right hand man.  He helps hold him when I am trying to get ready and feeds him a bottle.  Now if Judd & Remi can keep their paws off of each other.  All they do is wrestle and antagonize each other all day.  

 

Remi loves kissing Stetson and giving him hugs that darn near suffocate him.  He is slowly adjusting and I know in the near future all these boys will love getting in trouble with each other. 

 

 Finally home

My three little love muffins.  I just love these little fart faces. 

 

My mom has been my saving grace.  The first week we she came to my house everyday.  She cleaned bathrooms, changed numerous diapers, bathed kids.  You name it..she did it!  After I got out of the hospital I got stinking pneumonia again.  All the extra fluid from preeclampsia goes straight to my lungs.  I was so thankful she was there to help because I couldn't breath or even function.  Anyway, she took the kids over night the day I had Stetson. She had to stop at the store for groceries and Judd spotted these flowers and asked if they could buy them for me.  What a sweet boy. 

 

We just love this little peanut!
