Kayden's current obsession is the movie CARS. Lightning & Mater & Sally...he knows 'em all. When we put the movie in he goes CRAZY. I can't seem to get it on camera, but here's a preview. I'll try and get the full reaction sometime. I had a video of it and I was holding a screaming Hannah, so didn't want to submit everyone to that. lol We'll keep you posted though, but here is Kayden w/ his new BFF's - Lightning and Mater!! :) Enjoy!

Videos of the Kids
Kayden loves to "hop like a bunny" lately. He usually does it way crazier - if you can imagine that from our son! :) Notice him eating the apple...we later realized he ate most of the stem. Oops.
Here's our Hannah Bug...she's doing a little socializing on her play mat. :) Enjoy!

Hannah, 1 month
So I am a week behind - but here are some pictures of the babe!! She's sooo big already! She was 10 lbs 6 oz at Monday's (May 10th) appointment. I can't believe it. Good-bye Newborn diapers and NB size clothes...hello 3 months!!! :) She holds her head up all by herself - and when we are trying to burp her she (mother of god yes) stands up trying to get that darn thing out. She's too strong for her own good. Kayden is still so good with her, giving her hugs and kisses and he thinks she's the funniest thing in the world, always laughing hysterically at her. He did try and "hop like a bunny" on her last night - didn't end well for him. I'll try and get that on video tonight and put another new post on. Cross your fingers I can manage that!
1 month old, not the best pic - I am slacking!

I can't believe Hannah is already 3 weeks old. Tonight was my last night of dance classes, so let's hope I can finally get myself into a schedule / swing of things. Its driving me crazy that I can't get a system down. Oh well...it'll happen! Here are some pictures from the last couple days. I'll post some pictures from this weekend's dance show as well - a HUGE success!

A Couple Minutes
So I have a couple minutes...yea right. Kayden was just up crying and I hear Hannah stirring...no sleep for the weary. Its been a crazy few weeks home....here's a taste
~sleepless nights of screaming (by all 4 of us)
~ER trips by myself and Eric (seperate)
~double ear infection and Dr trip by Kayden
~breastfeeding going well...not going well...ending...starting formula...trying to get used to formula
~sore sore sore sore boobs....OUCHIE OUCHIE
(on a side note I did look like Spheidi / Pamela Anderson for a couple of days, sorry no pictures to prove it)
~not pleasant other issues from post-birth for me, I won't ellaborate :) lol
~Eric getting his wisdom teeth out today, all four - yeah that's just an added bonus to all this
Poor Hannah is wondering "what the hell did they bring me in to?" Yeah - sorry sweet-heart its been a hell-of-a start for you!! BESIDES all of that things are going well!! I could use a good night's sleep, but they tell me w/ two kids that is something I will never get. Oh well, they are both super cute so I'll take that instead!!
I just updated Hannah's photo album on facebook, check it out. Also - I posted the story of Hannah's birth and then posted pictures from her first couple days, I backdated the pictures to April 5th so scroll down and check them out. We had her "professional" pictures done, so once we get those back I'll post them on here and then I can actually start and finish the birth announcements. I am working on Thank You cards and paying bills right now, let's cross our fingers that happens tomorrow. Thats about it for now...I actually put a post up!! :)

Hannah Christene's Speedy Delivery
4/4/10 - (Easter Sunday) - had a "tummy ache" before I went to bed...took a Tums as usual thought nothing about it.
4/5/10 - midnight-ish - started to have contractions. They were about 10 minutes apart, again didn't think anything of it. They would go from 10 minutes apart to 5 once in awhile, and then sometimes I'd fall asleep, so they'd never really be consistent. Being the loving wife I am I let my husband sleep through them. At some points I was curled up in a ball (this was the point where I was like "oh yea THAT IS WHAT A CONTRACTION FEELS LIKE") and at other points I'd walk to the bathroom just for fun.
6:00am - Eric's alarm for work goes off. He snoozes it and I tell him he probably shouldn't go to work but that we should shower and go to the hospital. We both shower, I call daycare to make sure we can bring him early, I pick up a few things in the house, grab the cameras, etc. (Eric was sure to point out later that I didn't "do my hair or makeup." Yeah - thanks for that. The contractions continued, I kind of stopped timing them realizing we were on our way to the hospital.
7:15am - Eric brings Kayden into daycare and I call the hospital to tell them we are on our way in and the contractions are about 4-5 minutes apart but that they vary. They get worse on the drive in and I see Eric's speed going up.
7:25am - Eric drops me by the door, I told him this baby wasn't going to allow me to walk from the parking ramp. I have a contraction getting out, another in the elevator (as the guy in scrubs was panicking and probably wishing he took the stairs) and another at the desk I was checking in at.
7:28am - Eric gets the ticket time stamped and finds a spot to park in the ramp.
Eric parks and heads upstairs to find me hitting the Nurse call button and screaming in pain. No nurse, but baby coming...yes. A nurse finally comes in and I tell her I have to push..."oh sure you do sweetie, let's lay down in the bed and check you out."
"I CAN'T MOVE!" As I am jamming my head into Eric's chest and grimacing in pain. I finally lay down in a ball on the bed and they get part of the monitor around me and get 1 contraction on the monitor at 7:39am.
7:39am - Dr. comes in to "check" me...breaks my water...his face turns white and he screams "WE NEED A ROOM NOW." Eric said it was kind of a "oh shit!" look on his face. The Dr. leaves the room and comes back w/ 2 other Dr's and 2 more nurses. Next thing I know they are grabbing the bed and everything around me and are racing me down the hall to a Delivery Room (guess maybe they should have listened to me and put me there to start with!! :) All I remember is being on my side, screaming and saying I had to push. A nurse kept grabbing my fingers and telling me to unhook them from the bed - she's lucky I didn't have my teeth clamped down on that dam rail. She was afraid they were going to get pinched running through the doors. My fingers were the least of my concern.
We got in the room, and I remember them telling me I could push. I pushed once and I remember the one nurse telling me to look down. I could see the baby's head and all I was thinking was "oh my god we just dropped Kayden off at daycare...this is so surreal." Next thing you know they are yelling at Eric to grab his camera. Once more push and OUT SHE CAME!
7:49am - Hannah Christene Loftus burst into the world at full speed. 7 pounds, 14 ounces, 19 inches long. She has blue eyes and SOOO much light brown hair!! Its a little mini mullet and is about an inch long in back! She has her brother's chubby cheeks and cute little nose! Can't wait for everyone to meet her. I'll post arrival pictures and back date to April 5th so be sure to keep watching!
