3 Months!!!!!

Here are some current pictures of our little family! Jaxen will be 3 months this Thursday! I can't believe how big he's getting! He went to the Dr. yesterday and is in the 20 percentile for his weight and between the 5-10 percentile for his height...so he's just a lil' fella! He weighs 12 lbs and 8 oz and is 22 1/2 in long. He is drooling a lot more which the Dr. attributes to teething. He tries to sit up while he's laying in my lap, has no concern with rolling over whatsoever, and is cooing like crazy!! Enjoy the pictures!

update

Wow! It's been forever since I've posted a blog on here!! Since my last post we have been fired and relocated back to Springfield MO. God is definitely trying our faith right now during this transitional time in our lives. We are so thankful that we both got our old jobs back and were able to start this past week. We are currently staying with Jared and Kim Bumpers and it is going really well! We were a little worried since Jaxen is obviously a baby and babies cry a lot, but it is going very well! It is nice to be close to my side of the family and to have Jaxen by his Papa and Grandma.
He is getting so big so fast! He is "talking" up a storm! He is definitely a morning baby. His smiles melt my heart!! He is so precious! He has done wonderful during the transition of moving! He has his bad days and his good days thankfully more good days then bad.

some new pics

Just wanted to share a few pictures that we just uploaded to the computer. Everything is going good here! I get to go see Beth Moore live this weekend with my church ladies, can't wait! Brandon and Jaxen will be together all day Friday and Saturday without Mommy... but it will be worth it!!

6 weeks!

Greetings! Jaxen is 6 weeks old today! I can't believe he's already that old! Doesn't seem like more then 2 weeks ago that we went through the process! I had my 6 week check up and everything went well.
Jaxen is getting bigger and bigger each day! He is smiling and cooing when he is in a good mood. We are trying to introduce a bottle with my milk to him so Brandon can help with feedings and because I have a ladies retreat to go to next weekend and would like to leave Jaxen here with Brandon. We've tried a few different types of bottles with no success. Last night Brandon did get him to take 1 oz. out of a different bottle and we jumped for joy!!!
Our '01 Chevy Blazer bit the dust last week on the trip my dad and I made to Indiana to introduce Jaxen to his extended family. There was no way it would make the 6 hour drive back home, so we sold it as is to one of my cousins up there. There is a trustee in our church who is good friends with the owner of a Kia dealership here in town, he pulled some strings and got it worked out for us to get a brand new 2009 Kia Optima at wholesale price. The dealership didn't make a penny off of us which is an absolute blessing!!! God provides! We are dreading the monthly payment but we also know it is much safer for our family right now.

2 1/2 weeks

Things are going really good here in St. Charles at the Shatto house! All of our family has been and left now so it is finally down to the 3 of us. We are so thankful that our family was able to come and spend time getting to know Jaxen and help us out around the house. Jaxen is doing amazing! I just can't get enough of him! Every time his eyes are open I just can't stop talking to him! When he sleeps I find myself just staring at him cause he's so darn cute! He's eating really well. Right now he is eating eery 3 hours for 30 minutes. He sleeps so good at night! He only wakes up to eat and by the time he is done eating he is already back to sleep! As of right now I don't mind getting up every 3 hours during the night and spending time with him, I know that I'm the only one that can feed him and give him what he needs!
Brandon is doing amazing! Did I mention in my last blog that the day Jaxen was born he gave me a beautiful necklace that has Molly's, Toby's birthstones in paw prints and Jaxen's birthstone is a little boy with a baseball hat on. He is such a great dad! It is so sweet to see them nap together! He is great at changing diapers! He diffinetly takes his turn! Seeing him with Jaxen makes me fall in love with him over and over again!

My little man!

Now introducing Jaxen Kayne Shatto weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz and 20 in long! Jaxen was born Thursday night at 7:20 p.m. after a wonderful 12 hours of labor! Brandon and I are on cloud 9 as you can imagine and so very happy and thankful to have a healthy baby boy! My labor was absolutly wonderful... we started pitocin at 7:15 a.m., broke my water at 8, got an amazing epidurl at 11:30, started pushing at at 6:15 p.m. He is eating great and sleeping even better! He is absolutly perfect and I couldn't be any happier to be this tired!

Whoohooo!

I had a Dr. apt today and I am still at 1 cm dilated but I am now 60% thinned out! That is a pretty big change since Thursday when I wasn't thinned out at all. So now that I have made good progress on my own my Dr. is moving my induction up from 6 p.m. on Thursday night to 6 a.m. Thursday morning. One of my only questions to him was "Can I eat a donut before I go in that morning?" And he said yes! So sometime Thursday we will be holding sweet baby Jaxen in our arms!!!! If you are on Facebook we will be updating status' through out the day on Thursday, so stay tuned...
