Julia's Pre-school graduation

My little girl is totally growing up! She 'graduated' from pre-school. Look at all those cute kids! It is definitely amazing how much she has changed this last year. She went from kind of scribbling coloring to very, very neat coloring...and much more!

My cute little niece!

Carson's room

We pretty much finished Carson's room before he was born, that big brown circle will have his initial in it, but we couldn't come up with a name before we saw him...hence the big brown random circle. Soon it will have a cute red or green C...or maybe blue. Anyways, I thought I would post some pictures of his room, because now we have to take his crib apart because our crib got recalled...ugg! Total bummer, but better now then when he is in it. Right now Carson still sleeps in his cradle in our room. So now we have to take apart the crib and mail back all the hardware, and then we get a voucher to go get a new crib.


The other day Cole said he wanted to hold Carson, so I quickly got the camera. This is the first time he has cared about holding bother. Now he totally loves Carson, and is always asking 'where's baby?' What a good brother!

Carson James Schmidt

Carson was born at 3:10pm on April 9th, 2010 (my due date!). He was 20 inches long and 7 lbs 13 oz. I was in shock when they said 7 lbs! I was fully prepared for another monster Cole baby. Carson is pretty darn cute though, if I do say myself. Labor was pretty good. We went in the night before and got an ok nights sleep while they put me on pitocin. Friday morning they broke my water and turned up the pitocin. By 12ish I got an epidural and by 3:10 after 3 pushes Carson was born. I can't complain! When I was pushing they found out that the cord was around his neck so with him still half inside of me they cut the cord from around his neck and then he came out. When he came out he was blue! It was definitely weird to see him that color. I don't think any of us where really scared though, he started crying right away. The nurses and my doctor where great and calm and got him crying more and he just slowly started to pinken up! They checked his oxygen levels and they were fine, so it was just his coloring that was bad from the cord around his neck. He is a beautiful pink color now! Life with 3 is a little insane at times. I wasn't good at blogging before but I will work harder to at least get some pictures on here now and than. Thanks for all the prayers!
