More of Kasen

Here are some updated pictures of the little man. He is growing faster than I can imagine and all he wants to do is EAT!!! The kid is definitely wearing me out and keeping me busy. I can't believe how much time has flown by and he is already 4 weeks old. CRAZY! It just makes it that much harder because I know that my maternity leave from work will soon be creeping up on me and then back to work it is. April 13th!! I am not looking forward to that day just like the majority of the people don't look forward to April 15th (tax day)!

Welcome Kasen Tate Rangel!

On Monday, January 19th I was induced and our little peanut finally arrived!!! Kasen Tate Rangel.....born at 4:20 pm, weighing 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Let me just say he looks identical to Tyler when Tyler was born.  It's pretty crazy.  

Anyways, the delivery was VERY quick and I almost didn't think the doctor was going to make it.  The nurse had me do 1 practice push and let's just say that was 1 too many!!  I ended up doing only 3 pushes and out came my little man.  Needless to say he has been keeping me pretty busy with his crazy schedule and I'm trying not to get too sleep deprived.  But of course I wouldn't change it for the world.  

Before they start poking and hooking me up

Look how happy the big brother is

I love kissing his soft cheeks 

All that hair and no heartburn!! 

I love the old man face!

The proud daddy..... I love it!!!

Tyler was SOOO excited to see him

One of my all time FAVORITE pictures of the little guy 

The first night home with him...Tyler read him a story!!!

Better Late Than Never...Merry Christmas!

So it's been a little while since I've posted and I apologize, but let me just tell you that I don't know where the time goes??? Work has me SO busy right now and being pregnant makes it go by even quicker especially since I feel like I am constantly tired. Don't know if working 45+ hours a week and then coming home to play mom and wife does it, but I'm pretty beat.

I have been peeking at all of the other blogs just to keep updated, but haven't felt like throwing a post up myself. Let me sum it up as quick as possible......NO TIME AT ALL!!

5. My poor Christmas decorations didn't go up until the Saturday before Christmas!!! Yes, this includes my tree. We didn't even put lights up on the outside of our house.

4. Due to the crazy economy now, work is hectic as can be and everyone has been putting in 45+ hours a week. The sad thing....I'm salary so I don't get paid any overtime!

3. Between my 3 different baby showers (work & family) I haven't even finished doing baby laundry and the car seat and stroller are still in the box...I'm due next month!!!

2. The baby is growing faster and bigger than expected and my cervix is shorter than expected so my doc is hoping I can make it to 36 weeks.....THAT'S JANUARY 3RD!!!!!!!

1. Between the stress of trying to "take it easy" it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE! For those of you who know me, I am not one to try and just sit still and relax. I need to be doing stuff all the time.

Anyways, enough of me venting and here are some pics of the family on Christmas and Christmas Eve.

The family shot on Christmas Eve

My little niece in her cute Santa dress!

Like father, like son! Tyler likes to wear those
shirts now because daddy does. How cute!

Christmas morning at my house....the snowman
is bigger than her!

Tyler way pumped for his stocking from Santa

His new Ipod Nano...I don't even have one and he's 6!!!

The kids at my mom's house Christmas night
(my family and my sister with her 2 kids)

Tyler with his new Star Wars Clone Trooper
voice activated mask. This thing was huge and he looks
like a bobblehead!!!

One last family shot on Christmas night!

It's a........BOY!!!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it....It's another boy. So my mom, Tate, Tyler and mother in law go into the ultrasound room and as the tech (Michelle..she is so awesome) is going over my belly, she says, "yep it's definitely a boy". Tate had the biggest grin on his face and my mom and mother in law said we knew it. Tyler on the other hand says, "You got to go with it momma.You can't do anything about it"!! Can you believe my little 6 year old saying that??? It was too funny.

I honestly thought for sure that it was a girl because this pregnancy is SOOOO different from Tyler and of course I was getting my hopes up based off of that Chinese gender calendar. But Tyler's right...I can't do anything about it and I am very excited for another little stud!

I am officially 21 weeks now and still looking at January 31st for the due date. I've been feeling a lot better now (thanks to the nausea medicine) but have been super busy at work. I'm on the computer all day and by the time I get home the last thing I want to do it get on one (that's why no posts lately). Here are some of the ultra sound pics and I promise I'll do my best to update a little more.

The infamous boy parts!!!
