Welcome Hannity Lynn Lanier!

On Friday June 4, I woke up with some really painful contractions at 5 am! I had a doctor appointment the day before, had my membranes stripped and afterwards I was almost 5 cm dilated....but had zero contractions! Since I didn't have contractions I didn't go to the hospital. When I woke up to contractions, I started timing them and they were about 40 seconds long and only about 2 minutes apart! I told Paul and he just kind of brushed it off, and said we could go to the hospital in a few hours because he wanted to sleep some more....silly boy! Well I went to the bathroom and lost my mucus plug....sorry if that's too much information....and after I said "Paul we are going to the hospital....this is it!" So he got in the shower while I put make up on and curled my hair...I wanted to look good while in labor, and my contractions were getting worse. I then told Paul that we had to go to the hospital now! He said "so I don't have time to shave my face?" I of course said no!!! So we loaded up the car and had my mom come and pick Landon up to take to my friend Kim's house, so she could watch him. We headed to the hospital and arrived there at 6:15 am. When I got there, there was nobody working downstairs, so I had to walk up to labor and delivery, by then my contractions were REALLY painful!!! I got up to labor and delivery. When we walked through the doors, I had another contractions and the nurses shouted out from down the hall "What baby is this for you??" I said "number 2." So they all came running at me and got me into a bed. The head nurse asked if I was going to want an epidural and I of course said yes!!! She then checked me and I was 9cm dilated. She then told me that I couldn't have an epidural because the baby was coming now! I of course cried and panicked! How was I going to do this with no drugs??? They asked who my doctor was and luckily he was already there....so I didn't have to wait to push! I got to the hospital at 6:15 am and Hannity was out at 6:47am...my labor was just under 2 hours...not bad!!! Since there was no time there was only 1 pic taken before, and here it is...I look gross!

Welcome to the world

Hannity Lynn Lanier

June 4, 2010

6lbs 6oz

19 inches long...and she is just PERFECT!!!

Here she is with my doctor, Dr. Juarez.

Here's me holding Hannity for the 1st time...I felt great and was walking around afterwards...I'm so glad to have had such a short labor...

Her body temperature kept dropping after she was born, so here she is under a heater.

When my mom brought Landon in, he was asleep...

He woke up to his brand new baby sister.

My little family, along with my brother and mom. They were in the delivery room with me.

Here we are eating our celebration dinner at the hospital....it surprisingly wasn't that bad!

Here she is ready for her hospital picture.

Here we are ready to be discharged....just waiting on the pediatrician to discharge Hannity.

Sweet bundle of joy =)

In the car seat ready to go!

Getting brought out to the car...our new minivan that Paul surprised me with for my birthday!

Here she is at home wearing her 1st dress...she was mad because I set her down!

and mad again because I set her down...

and mad again because she had a sponge bath...

and mad again!

She's kind of happy here =)

Here she is after her 1st Sunday at church!

wearing her 1st bracelet!

This is Hannity before her 1st road trip, she was 2 weeks old!

Here she is chilling in a cute little summer outfit that Paul's cousin got her!

We are so glad that this little girl has come in to our family! It definitely has been an adjustment. Landon has been having a hard time, but for the most part things are going well! I have been recovering great, and have been managing to get things done around the house...so I'm happy! I've been missing my sleep though....but it's oh so worth it!

Family Pictures

Before Miss Hannity was born we did some family pics....Landon's 2 year pics and some maternity pics! Here are some of my faves =)

You can check out Mandy's other photos and contact info here! Thanks Mandy....we love em'!

Landon turns 2

It's been since Feb 28 since I last updated...WOW!!!On March 28 we threw Landon a 2nd birthday party! We had it early in the morning and served breakfast! We had a bunch of our friends and Landon's friends there. He had a really good time! There aren't very many pics because I didn't take very many...plus I have a lot of blog catching up to do!

The party was Cars themed, this is the banner that I made.

My mom got Landon a rocking horse because he is OBSESSED with horses!!! He stayed on his horse the whole party pretty much! His friend Boston is in the background!

After his party we headed up to Searchlight for some Tea Party action....we didn't make it in time to see Sarah Palin speak =(. Afterwards we went to a Tea Party in Henderson and got to hear Ann Coulter speak. Here is Landon with his "Don't tread on me flag!" He loved it and carried it around with him!

April 1, was Landon's actual birthday! For his birthday we took him to Build-A-Bear...here he is with my mom after he picked out what he wanted to make!

In the store there was a stroller with a chipmunk, he loved it and was pushing it all around the store while walking his doggie!

Afterwards, we went to Wal Mart and picked up a cake....I didn't feel like making one, plus buttercream frosting sounded so good! We got him a cake and my mom let him pick out a toy.

He chose this jungle gym! Family shot on his bday!

What we've been up to January and February 2010

I feel like I say this every time...but I got behind again!!! Life has been busy with school, and my vinyl business, and being a mom! Here are some new pics from the past 2 months!

At Christmas time I posted about our amazing stroller/ bike, The Taga...we absolutely are loving it around here! I can't wait for the weather to get nicer so we can go riding all of the time...not to mention it has really helped keep me in shape this pregnancy! I'm 26 weeks today and have only gained 1 pound! Woo Hoo! Here is Landon on a cold day before we went riding to my mom and dad's house.

I took this pic of him while he was just sitting in our living room one day.

On New Year's Eve, we had friends over to our house...due to tired kids they stayed till about 10...our kiddo was nowhere near ready for bed, so we let him stay up with us! At midnight we drank sparkling cider out of Mickey Mouse sippy cups...we had gotten the sippy cups and juice for a white elephant gift at a Christmas party we had gone to. We were told the cups and juice were for us on New Years Eve. Now Landon has his Mickey and Goo-Goo sippy cups! He loves em!

Cheers!

The first weekend in January we visited the Las Vegas Zoo...you can walk through the whole think in like an hour, but Landon had a good time!

He love the elephant statue...he rode it a lot!

They had a petting zoo there as well....yeah all the petting zoo consisted of was a bunch of goats, but again Landon loved it!

On that same day we went to Springs Preserved and walked on some of the free trails...and of course took some pics!

We also rode the taga on the trails...

Our son is OBSESSED with horses!!! Here he is watching one of his favorite movies, Spirit...

Here's Landon playing in his room....I love how he is wearing different shoes, and on the wrong feet! The white one's won't even fit him for another year or so, but he loves to wear them around the house.

He also loves to wear my shoes around the house...silly boy!

He likes climbing in boxes...

He started a gymnastics class...this is him on his first day...all he would go on was the slide...for 30 minutes! He hated me making him wait in line for his turn too!

I was making hair bows one night and Landon emptied one of my ribbon jars and was putting them around his neck as if they were necklaces....as he put on each color he would say "Oh cute..." We love our silly boy!

Paul started to get into Mountain biking....here is Landon wanting to ride daddy's new bike!

The first Saturday in Feb, we did a 5k at Town Square Mall...being 5 months pregnant at the time...I wasn't going to run...so I rode my Taga...and Paul ran along side me! Landon had a blast! There were around 3,000 people there!!! It was crazy!!!

Family pic before the 5k!

...And after...we got poured on the whole time!!! I was bummed, the guy who took the pic didn't bother to get Landon in it...how rude!!!

After the 5k, we went to Wal Mart to get some groceries....we came out with groceries, and a fish tank and fish...at first I wasn't huge on the idea...but the second I saw how excited it made Landon, I became excited too!

Here's Landon playing with a ball at a birthday party...it was at a park, I spent most of the 2 hours trying to keep him away from the baseball game...he wanted to play! Maybe baseball is in his future.

Paul had President's Day off of school, so he was able to attend Landon's gymnastics class while I took pictures! This is them during stretch time!

Not quite sure what this is called, but he thinks it's a horsie! Silly boy!

Of course he rode the slide lots too!

There's really not a whole lot going on with us! Paul is getting closer to finishing his 2nd year of Medical School...I just hit week 26 of the pregnancy today! My baby shower was yesterday...hopefully I'll get pics up soon! I have also been doing good of updating the craft blog...check it out here! Hope all is well with everyone else!
