Wore out from being a big brother

Aiden came over today to spend some time with me while his little brother went for a check up. At first he was playing and "entertaining" the two little ones that I had today.

The next thing I knew he was quite...I got up to see what he was doing and he was out in the swing....

Sorry this blog is so short but I just couldn't help but sharing...

Conner James is here

I am a "great" aunt again. Conner James Hogan made his appearance into this world on Tuesday, November 25 at 7:48 pm. He weighed 8 lbs and 5 ozs and was 20 1/4 inches long.

Conner had a rough start, somehow during labor he got the hiccups and swallowed fluid. He ended up with pneumonia and had to be in the NICU for 5 days. He was in oxygen tent until Thursday and then off the Nasal canal on Friday.

The funny thing about his birth is Daniel (daddy) did a poll for everyone to guess his birth weight. 3 weeks prior at a doctor visit the doctor had told them Conner weighed 5 lbs 7 ozs. so I first thought well they say that a baby will gain a lb each week during the last month...so I almost said 8lbs 7 ozs...but then since Aiden was so small I ended up guessing 6 lbs 2 ozs...needless to say I LOST!!! Daniels mom won with her guess of 7 lbs 5 oz. I did however when the time...I guessed 7:32 pm and he was born at 7:48..I was pretty excited.

On Sunday 11-30 Conner, Kristin and Daniel was able to leave the hospital!!! Aiden sure was glad to be home.

While everyone was in the hosptial Aiden stayed with Aunt "nanet" and uncle chip. I realized that I was not as young as I used to be. I did get a couple nights break when Aiden went with GMay. But I enjoyed him being with us.

Here is Conner at 1 week old!

Can you believe it is Christmas time....

Can you believe that it is already Christmas time....with only 22 more shopping days left....I have put up our tree, Navity, snow village, and inside decoration. It just seems to be too cold for me to get outside to put those decorations up...I am hoping that Chip or Christopher decide that they want to do it and take over.

I have started buying presents but this weekend hope to get it all done....we are going to Dallas to see Jeana and David and do some major shopping. I hope that they next time I blog I can say that I am totally done with shopping and can truly enjoy the reason for the Season.

I will post some pictures of my decoration soon!!
