Baby Larsen update 12 weeks!

So today was our 12 week check up, the last week of my first trimester! Yippee!! So Baby Larsen is looking great and really active already, we were amazed at how defined him facial features and other body parts were. We are getting more and more excited to actually meet this little blessing, Kalai on the other hand not so much :) I have been feeling okay, still have the occasional tiredness and nausea but its getting better, I can honestly say being pregnant for the 2nd time around isn't the same as the first with a little one running you wild constantly :) but I am trying to enjoy everyday with Kalai since we only have 6 months left with it just being the two of us! TEAR! he is still my little baby:)

First Doctor's Appt :)

So Yesterday we had our first doctor's appointment, we found out that we are 8 weeks along! It's amazing to think that a second time around at this would bring just as much joy and excitement as the first. We were able to see our "baby larsen" on the ultrasound, its crazy how you can already see the spine and the head and the little arms forming, what a miracle it is to be able to see your baby's heartbeat and hear it absoulutely the best moment ever! We are so excited to be given the chance to be parents again. Kalai on the other hand is not so excited to be a big brother haha....Landon was holding him while the ultrasound was being performed and when Landon told Kalai to look at the screen to see his baby brother or sister he started to scream haha, the doctor said it was the best reaction he got all day :) I will try to post a picture of the ultrasound later! That's is for now....

As for me, the morning sickness has definitely set in on this one, I was lucky not to have any of this with Kalai :) so maybe its a girl??? who knows and I guess we won't know until he or she is born :) we have decided not to find out! We are just praying for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby...

Enjoying the small things in life....




Life sure does goes by in a blink of an eye, looking at Kalai and watching him grow is utterly amazing, words can't describe the feelings we have for him. He has definitely turned our world upside down and inside out :) but we wouldn't change it for the world! It's crazy to look back at the past year and note all the accomplishments Kalai and reached in just one year on earth, I will just list a few ( or alot cause i am so proud of him)....


-rolling over on his own when he was only 7weeks old-smiling at us at 10 weeks-laughing at us at 4 months, knew his name by 6 months-sitting up alone and clapping at 6 months old-crawling for the very first time at 8 months-got his first tooth at 8 1/2 months-standing alone at just 9 months old and taking his first steps at 9 1/2 months--and now at one year of age walking like he has been doing it his whole life! Kalai has mastered hitting his ball with his bat, flushing things down the toliet, laughing at mom and dad when we tell him "no" and crying on cue :) saying his first word which just so happens to be BALL---I think dad has pretty much drilled being a baseball player into him...poor kid doesn't have a chance at being anything else j/k Kalai has added so much to our lives its weird to think of what we did with all of our time and thoughts before he was here! We don't know what this year has to bring with Kalai and our family....all we do know is that in the mean time we will be enjoying the small things in life :)

So it was our little little little boys birthday! How sad he is already grown up, and he no longer needs his mom and dad. Well it was one heck of a celebration, we played games at the park, ate some pizza, ate a big birthday cake, ate some rootbeer floats, opened a lot of presents, then Kalai showed everyone how to play football! He is freaking awesome, but wow, how a year flies bye! We love you Kalai and thanks everyone for making his 1st birthday in Missoula, Montana and birthday to remember. So the first birthday was expensive and he had no clue what was going on, I can't wait to see how expensive it gets the older he gets, but you will not see Kalai on the MTV show my sweet sixteen birthday!

Time Does Not Stand Still!




Kalai at the water park! It was the last day the park was open for the summer, kind of sad. It is hard to believe how big Kalai is getting, it is hard to believe that another summer has come and gone. Time flies. Kalai absolutely loved the water, he kept diving in and so we had to jump in and pull him out of the water, luckily we think he only drank a couple gallons! But he loves the water, shower time with dad, bath time with mom, swimming pool, sprinklers, you name it and Kalai loves playing in it. So maybe we have the next Michael Phelps minus the pot! Well enjoy the journey, that is what we have been doing, it is hard to watch time fly by and how fast it all goes but what an exciting time watching your kids grow up! I can remember when my parents used to tell my brothers and sister that soon you will be all grown up and you will miss these moments with each other. Well I hate to say it but as a parent now, they were sure right. Life goes by way to fast, enjoy it, laugh often, and dont fret the small things. These moments like Kalai at the pool, holding my wifes hand in a movie, a prayer before bed, a kiss goodnight, and when morning comes the opportunity to look at your husband or wife and your kids and do it all again! That is what life is all about, the rest is just a distraction.

A YEAR IN REVIEW.....



So if you haven't noticed, I have been trying to catch up on the whole blogging haha these are just few of many photos we have of our little guys during his first year.

Welcome to the World Kalai!


























I went into active labor at 2:30 in the afternoon on the 28th of Sept. and our precious little baby boy was born at 2:42 am on Sept. 29th, 2008. The birth was such an amazing experience, minus the pain, which you do truly forget the moment you lay eyes on your little one! After 9 months of carrying a miracle, the moment you see them and hold them for the first time is truly breath taking. You can never imagine how much love you have for someone until you hold someone that you and your husband have created. Sept. 29th, 2008 is definitely a day we will never forget!
