Brock's Photo Shoot



Here's a sneak peak of Brock's newborn photo shoot.... more to come soon.

A few days after we brought Brock home from the hospital, we were eating dinner together and Ella bit into corn on the cob...  and the above picture happened.  Didn't even know it was loose.

Then the next day she wiggled it a bit more and it fell out.  I thought Ella was going to be 6 or 7 before she'd loose a tooth.  She was so excited about the tooth fairy coming, Scott had to pull up pictures online to show her what the tooth fairy looked like.  The next morning she woke up Nanna showing her the dollar she found under her pillow. 

You can hardly see the space when she smiles, but she was so excited to show her friends at school that day.

Trick-or-Treat

We were so lucky to have my mom come and help out after I had the baby.  I wish those 10 days didn't go so fast.  My kids cried when she left, and so did she. 
Scott took the kids Trick-or-Treating this year while I stayed home with Brock and my mom.  I must say, Brock was the cutest skeleton ever!

Here's the kids devouring their loot from the night. They had fun even though it didn't last long since it was so cold outside. 
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Brock is Born!

We arrived at St. Francis at 6am on Thursday, October 27th and ready for baby. They do a slow drip pitocin, which I preferred over the two hour labor & delivery with Cole.  So, 8 hours later of painless labor (thanks to epidurals) and 7 minute delivery... Brock Craig Thompson was born at a whopping 9lbs 2oz. and 22 inches long. 

He had the cord wrapped around his neck TWICE which we were so lucky there were no complications.  But probably was the cause behind his heartbeat going down a bit where we turned off the pitocin for 30 minutes to give him a break.

He is healthy and as perfect as can be, and we are so happy he is here.

Now we're a happy Family of FIVE!
So blessed are we!
