Day # 16 - me

Day #18 - me again 

Day 19 - me again! 

If I have time I'll blog about Maximus's big 2nd birthday tomorrow! It was successful! PS I'm pretty sure bambino skipped a day and didn't come back, I'm blaming it on the weather. 

Day 14 & 15

Day 14 - My turn

Day #15 - Tony's turn

PS

We are remodeling the basement or trying to finish! And today while tearing out the bathroom this is what Tony found! 

That's dryer lint! In the ceiling! Like an inch and a half of it! So gross. Needless to say we're glad we tore the sheet rock off the ceiling so we could fix it. 

Anyways, soo much to get done before Sunday! Getting ready for a special little boys 2 year birthday party!! Can't wait! Can't believe he will be 2! 

Day #12 & 13

Eating a candy cane! He loves it, I give it to him to help his tummy aches 

Getting into mischief at grandmas. He threw away a whole cubboard full of stuff! Little stinker! 

Watching Daddy play his game. It totally calmed him down. He was unhappy for a while and as soon as I laid him down he was so happy just watching! 

Day 9, 10 & 11

Day 9 - Tony's turn

Day 10 - My turn 

Day 11 - My turn again because Tony forgot! 

Also a cute little Santa Clause! I have some of Maximus also of when he fit into this outfit he was almost a year old I'm pretty sure. I'll have to do some comparisons. 

Also a pic of my sweet almost 2 year old!! Time flies. I miss my baby. Even though he's still little and I have another baby. It's so fun being his mom and watching him learn and grow. Can't wait for his Birthday! Can't wait for Christmas!

Tony's Day

My Day

Tony's Day

Sorry I got behind! Haven't gotten to today's yet either! But I will post later tonight! 

Maximus snuggling me! Hasn't happened in a while! 

Moose Bum! 

Welcome Bambino!

Bambino is back to visit our house! (I think this is more fun for me and Tony right now until Maximus and Makaius are a little older and understand better)

We take turns putting him in the different places each night. The first night we were pretty busy all day and so I rushed at the last min to get him out. It was my turn, tonight is Tony's turn. 

Here was night #1:

I will try best to keep this updated daily with his (Bambino) new adventures. 

Also today we blessed Makaius. Tony did a wonderful job with the blessing! And Makaius looked so handsome in his tux. I did not get any pictures of him but my mom did. He was really spitty and had a bit of a tummy ache so I got his clothes off pretty quick. Tomorrow we are going to go to the temple and get a few pictures of him and the family so I'm excited about those! I'll post those when we get them but for now this one of him sleeping should do! 

Life with 2!

It's been crazy busy with 2. I love it, but it's definitely an adjustment. There are so many projects I want to do, get done. And I beat myself up at times because I'm not one of those super moms that has a perfect home, beautiful projects done everyday, a gourmet dinner on the table most nights. But I have to just back up and say at least my kids and husband are fed, and taken care of! Thats an accomplishment and if I happen to get a project half done as well then I pat myself on the back and feel good! We've just been hanging out mostly as a family of four. Tony takes Maximus on bike rides and hangs out with him a lot. He's been great at getting him fed in the mornings while I'm feeding the baby. It's so nice having him work at home and at the same time frustrating for him because I'm trying to clean and chase a toddler around keeping him out of Tony's office and try to keep him from pouncing on his little brother!

Tony is still doing Real Estate, loving it! It's getting better slowly and he is learning a lot. If you know of anyone wanting to buy or sale or if you yourself are thinking about it give him a shout! He's great at what he does.

Maximus is doing quite well. He just saw the eye Dr again a couple weeks ago and gets to have glasses! I was really worried about this he already has so much going on. But I know he will do great with them when he can see the benefit from wearing them. We haven't got them yet, I'm hoping to cross that off my list this week. He's also starting to figure out a few words, and he's still using his sign language quite well. I can't believe he will be 2 in December! It's gone by so fast. Some stats and likes for Maximus are:

Weight: 17 lbs 4 oz

Height: 30 in

(still not on the charts but growing on his own curve!)

He loves to tease, he loves going on bike rides with dad, has to have his grandmas right next to him while he is at their houses (or mom or dad at our house), hates nursery!, is very curious and an explorer. Maximus also still has 4 therapists coming to our home to work with him. OT - Gary works on fine motor skills and keeping him on track, Speech - Gayleen works on feeding issues and obviously speech, and then two other ladies Becca and Alex come out to help me and Tony with his tantrums and frustrations I'm not really sure what their title is. He does not receive any PT at the time because he is his own best physical therapist. He wears a foot brace and it helps a ton, in fact he will not wear a shoe anymore unless he has his brace! It's so cute. I need to get a picture of it. His Dr visits have slowed down tremendously. He only goes to a couple Dr's a month now and I suspect after the first of the year that will drop even more. It's nice for us as parents and for him I'm sure. Maximus also LOVES to help me clean! SCORE! He LOVES the vacuum its his favorite. I need to find him one for Christmas that is a toy but still does the job. He gets so excited to help me vacuum. I have a video of him helping me I'll try to upload but right now it won't work. Well thats about it for now. Here are a few pictures to enjoy...

We bleed BLUE now dad... Not red. Yes you were right it was only a matter of time. 

Makaius loves to snuggle mommy

Had a little jaundice so he's sun bathing

loves to snuggle with grandpa's

Just like older brother and LOVES his baths

Makaius Christian Sessions

I know its been WAAAAAAYYYYYY TOOOOOO long since a blog post! So I hope you'll all forgive me. It's been crazy getting ready for Makaius to come and then adjusting to life with 2! It has been so much fun and we have been enjoying it. The next few days there will be a few posts of the last 4 months since my last post. It's not much but it will do right?! 

Makaius Christian Sessions was born on September 15, 2013 at 8:42am. He weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches long! He came into this world via c-section and it went pretty well. I was really really nervous this time around I think because I knew what was happening and with Maximus it was an emergency and I was so disoriented. I also felt them cut into me with Maximus so I was extra scared of that happening again so they gave me anxiety medication and it made me really sick. This time around I didn't feel anything not even them pushing on my ribs and chest to get him out! So it was nice, I did end up throwing up a lot right when I got into the OR so that was not fun! All around it was a better experience this time around. Here are a few pictures just off of my phone. I haven't really got to the ones on the camera yet! 

Here's me 9 months pregnant at 4:30am!

Just an hour or so after he was born, first time I got to hold him

Maximus showing Makaius his cool toe!

Checking out baby brother

On his way home!

Day 2 hanging out with Mommy in the hospital

Big brother playing with toys in moms hospital room. Its the only thing that would get him to stay in my room. Every time he came in he would just cry and cry. I don't blame him! He's not dumb! He knows when he is in the hospital. 

A quick update

It's been a packed two days at the family conference! Tuesday night we got to have some fun and go to an aquarium! It was fun other than Maximus didn't like it too much all he wanted was to play in the splash pad, which he eventually got and I'm sorry I'm blogging from my phone and don't have too many pics. Here is the group of girls with Goltz, and Maximus the only boy here. One of the girls dads actually has it and is here with her but he is not in the picture. They are the only two males here out of the 19 affected. 

Here are a few pics at the aquarium. Maximus watching the fish...

Maximus with his new little girl friend. She is 16 months old and affected by Goltz they are very similar to each other. She is from Iceland and we have been loving getting to know them! 

A huge fish and a green eel....

One of my favorites! A parrot! 

A HUGE python snake...

My absolute favorite thing! I love the Siberian tiger! I cannot believe they had one here! I was so excited to actually see it, it was huge! 

Riding the carousel, I have better pictures on the camera but its late and I'm exhausted so I'll have to post them later. He was mad in this pic because it hasn't started going yet. 

Riding the Ferris wheel....

Yesterday they moved us from one hotel to another where the family conference part is. Maximus was so tired he was falling asleep in his stroller while trying to eat. 

Reading a new story about being different with grandma before bed last night. 

Today Maximus spent most of the day at a kids camp while me and Tony and both grandmas attended a few classes where Dr's and got a LOT of new information on Goltz syndrome. Then tonight we went to a pool party for a couple hours. This is another group photo. 

I'm sorry it's a short update. I will try my hardest to spend some time tomorrow getting better pictures and more info up. I came down with severe allergies it sinus infection on Tuesday and its not getting better. I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight for another packed day tomorrow. 

Love you all! And I love the new NFED and Goltz families!
