So we have been having a little hard time getting Colton to go back to sleep in the middle of the night. Usually this comes around 2:30 am however this morning it was at 6:00 am. He will wake up, eat, and then just stare at you. Since we are not fully awake it is kind of freaky. Any other time We can put him back into bed and he goes to sleep. After about 30 minutes he was up and crying. I decided (Since Nick went to work) to try and calm him down and place him in there later. Well after about 20 minutes he ended up falling asleep on his own however it was in our bed. It was too cute and didn't want to move him therefore that is where is stayed. However this will not be a new habit:) I really think he likes the pillow!

Doctor WeekColton went to the Doctor this week for his 2 week check up. Everything is going great! He is up to 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 inches long. For awhile he was sleeping up to 7 hours however, things have changed in the last few days....hopefully he is just going through a growth spurt and it will change back soon. He is up to about a half hour of tummy time a day but then wants to eat:) He loves being naked but hates being cold therefore bath time is a little tricky but he is getting use to it.

Of course this boy loves to sleep while people hold him and as you can see, Daddy enjoys it too!

I know it has been awhile since the last post and I am not going to lie...life got busy once softball started up. Since softball is now almost complete and I am home more I thought I better give the latest update since so many people keep hassling me:) Well as most may already know, we are now parents to a healthy baby boy with a head FULL of hair. On Monday 5-4-09 I started getting back pain around 9 pm and didn't think anything of it. Nick insisted that I call the on-call number around 10:15 or so. We were told it could be the start of labor and time out the Pain/contractions. Well by the time we started they were 3 minutes apart....we decided to head in. As we entered the emergency room I headed straight to the bathroom where my water broke. I was then taken up stairs and told to hold him in until the doctor arrived. Now for all of you that have kids that isn't the easiest thing to do. Anyway....after the doctor arrived and 5 contractions later Colton Joel was born at 11:54 pm. It actually ended up being 14 minutes from the time we entered the hospital. Most would say I was lucky however I would argue meds would have been nice:) Colton was 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Just perfect. It has now been a week and nights have been going well however sometimes he just doesn't want to sleep, but that is how things go. We are truly blessed and couldn't be happier:)

It's a BOY! We had our ultra sound yesterday and it was amazing. Everything looked good and no concerns popped up. It was amazing to see everything from the head to the feet with fingers and toes. We also got the chance to watch the baby drink. At that time We both learned that the baby drinks the amniotic fluid and then that is what he urinates back out. It is a recycle system. We were able to see him open his mouth, stick out his tongue and swallow. The baby was measuring right on schedule. The doctor said around May 13 which isn't far off from the 15Th. I have gained more weight (8 lbs). I tried to tell Nick that it is all baby but he disagrees:)

This is a shot of the baby's head (eyes (dark circles on the left), with Nose, mouth, and chin). Also the structure to his upper body.

This is a picture of our baby boy being a typical Bonstell! He is flexing and showing off his muscles. For all that know Nick and Joel you know exactly what I am talking about:)

On Saturday January 10, 2009 Jenna Kay Hendricks was born. Congratulations to Jason, Shelly, and Big brother Keaton:)

Jenna was 9 lbs. 8 0zs and 19 1/2 inches long. She has some blue eyes and long fingers and toes (thanks to Shelly of course) and Short legs (thanks to Jason ) Oh how I love you both:)

Congrats again to the addition to your family!
