Benjamin Cash Casey

It is a beautiful day! Mr. Benjamin Cash Casey has arrived. He is just beautiful. Tons of dark hair. Born at 12:26 pm weighing in at 7 lbs 12 ozs. As of now he hasn't been measured for length, but he looks LONG! Natalie did fabulous and she had a much easier time this go around. It was wonderful! I am so very glad to be on this side this time around. I will update with more info and pictures. But here are a few.

Natalie

Well she went to the doctor yesterday and there is no change. She was vey disappointed. I wish she would just decide to be induced. I think she is kind of scared to actually have the baby. I think Nicholas's delivery traumatized her. If she would just realize that the little bambino is only going to get bigger! She is so stubborn. Anyway hopefully soon.

The kiddos are having a blast at the pool this year. They have started swim lessons and Carlie is doing so great. She is a little fish anyway. Carson on the otherhand is a little slower wanting to learn. He loves the water, just as long as he can touch. But he is doing very well. I think it will be great by the end of the summer. I am just enjoying my time off with the kids. I am dreading going back to work, but hopefully I can get all my work done and try to make it home early a few days a week. At least while Natalie is on leave, then I can maybe cut back more.

Nothing. . .Well, kind of.

Nothing too exciting to post yet about Natalie. We are on pins and needles waiting for little Benjamin "Willis" Cash Casey to arrive. She has been feeling bad cramps for a while now and nothing is going on. She went to the doctor on Friday and she is 100% effaced with NO dilation. So once she starts dilating then she is good to go. I wish she would just schedule and inducement but she wants to just go on her own. I didn't have it in me to be so patient. I will update when something changes.

Summer has been good so far as long as the weather is good. We have been going to the pool as much as we can. The kiddos just love it. Carson is so funny. I just love those little swim trunks. He loves the water. Carlie learned to jump off the diving board. She was so cute planning all the stunts that she was going to do.

I have been waiting for Carlie to have a loose tooth. It seems like all the other kids her age have at least lost one tooth. But her bottom teeth will not budge. When I was helping her brush her teeth this morning I noticed that she has teeth coming in behind her teeth!!! Her permanant teeth are growing in and her baby teeth will still not budge. I am going to call the dentist in the morning and see what she says. I don't want them to screw up her teeth. There is always something!!!

4 Weeks and 3 years!

Our little man is already 4 weeks old. We took him for his check up and he is 10 lbs even and 21 inches long. He is doing very very well. He is already eating 4-5 ounces every 3-4 hours. I promise I will post pictures soon. I would do it from home, but Bubba's computer will not download from my camera. Carter is getting little chubby cheeks and rolly legs. It is so damn cute.

Carson is 41 inches and 38 3/4 lbs. Doc says that he is an average size of a good size 4 year old. He says that he is going to be Big and Tall like Daddy. They are both healthy boys. There is nothing more we could ask for!!!!

Summer has started. I am so glad that Carlie is finally out of school. We can sleep in. So far we have been swimming and to the zoo. The kiddos have been so good for me. I told them that as long as they are good for me I will continue to take them fun places. :)
