Eli's Blessing

We blessed Eli this month on December 5Th he was 3 months old when he blessed him which was how old jace was when we blessed him only jace looked like a 3 month old. Eli looks like a 6 month old. He is such i toad i love it he is smiling and laughing at his older brother all day long i love it. so at his blessing we got to our ward 35 minutes early to get a good spot well little did i know our ward people bring baskets and blankets and bags to save spot's as early as an hour before no one is their just their stuff so crazy i was so shocked when i got their and we were still sitting on the very back bench of the bench's it was so crazy! well i know now ha ha

we all know that in my Marshall family we never do things smoothly.. their is always a hiccup well their was a blessing right before Eli and when it was all quiet Eli farts and i mean huge fart like people all around us heard him and were trying not to laugh and then right after he pooped and farted one of those you know then the blessing was over and it was Eli turn no time to change him he got blessed poopy and very very stinky! ha ha all my brothers and Justin loved the smell while they were with him it was soo funny

Baby Eli

We have internet now! how we went without it for 3 months i have no idea... well Eli was born 8/23 at 6:23 pm 9 pds 9 oz and two and half weeks early. Good thing we were induced early becuase of pre clampsia i consired that a blessing now otherwise i would of had a 11 pounder! i went in to have a nonstress test at 11:30 am and they decided to just have me induced that day becuase of the results. i was not ready for this no bag packed had nothing ready for jace sitter and bag packed. i didn't even shower that day. so they induced me at 2:30 pm i asked for my epidural at 3:45 but right at the exact moment their were two emergencies so i couldn't get my epidural i finally got it at 5:30 when i was a six.now i know there are alot of people who have thier babies naturally i for one did not want to be part of that crowd :) i like my drugs. so i was not prepared didn't know how to breath and was freaking out cuase i thought i was going to have eli naturally. but i got it at 5:30 and eli was born 40 minutes later so igot my drugs just in time. i was only in labor for like 4 hours so it was fast. i had him so fast that he came out looking very swollen and had a bruised mouth, nose and cheek. he is so different from what jace looked like he is chunky and everything! jace has adjusted well too to my surprise i thought it was going to be rough but he ignored him for the first two weeks and then just got jealous when i fed him he would come and sit by me and cuddle with me and eli i kind of like it..i really like it :) i was stuck on the couch for awhile cuase they would both fall asleep on me and i couldn't move but all in all it was nice.

Bed rest

Well I'm writting this from my phone so sorry if it's sloppy. We don't have Internet right now. Well I'm 38 weeks on tues the 24 that is the day they r inducing me. My due date was originally sept 7 but I have been diagonsed with toxiema so I have been put on bed rest for the last week it is a mild case or they would have already taken the baby. I'm glad I was just diagosed with at the end becuase not taking care of Jace has been hard and watching my house become a nightmare has been hard for me but I have great neighbors and family that have been wonderful to us. Well that's the update for now

update on our house it's almost done we are so excited!! we do are walk threw this friday and are scheduled to sign on our house around the 19th. it's finally here after 5 months of living with parents never thought it would happen! i'm excited for jace to finally have a home to be raised in. :) yeah!

IT'S A BOY!!

YUP we are having another boy! we r excited i always just kinda felt like the next one was a boy too.. so i wasn't surprised. The doctor says he is measuring big one pound 2 oz already i guess thats like the 95%.My due date is sept 7th but my doc was incouraging me too induce a week earlier becuase he was measuring so big. Jace was 8 pds 11 oz so i think i might induce at least a couple of days early i dont wan't to have a bigger baby than jace come out ha ha. I was induced with jace and loved it i'm glad i might be able to do that again if the baby doesn't decied to come out early? which i would be surprised if that happened.
