Clay has a stuffy nose, which he did a couple of days after he was born and that's normal, but it came back this week worse. The poor little guy can't breath through his nose very well and of course doesn't know how to breath through his mouth, and yet he still can sleep for a few hours. Every once in a while he will work up a huge sneeze and out comes a the biggest booger ever, who knew that blowing out a booger would bee so cute. Spencer just hope that Clay didn't inherit his sinuses and for all those who knows about Spencer's sinuses, its pretty bad.

Spencer's sister, Melinda, left her two kids in California and came to stay with us for 5 days. We had a good time even though we didn't go out much I still enjoyed her company. She was a big help around the house making dinner and cleaning.
My mom also came to stay that first week we were home to help out. She made sure that I didn't over do it and that I took naps when I could. Its great having my mom so close, sometimes a girl just needs her mom there.
I am so lucky to have family that love and support Spencer and I. Even though we have family in other places I feel their love. Spencer and I are planning a trip to go to California in July to show off our cute boy to all the family, I can't wait!!

Here are the two men in my life. They love to sleep together on the couch or on the bed. Spencer can't wait to get home and snuggle with Clay. I can't tell you all how much I love my husband. He has been there through this big adjustment and has comforted me when I think I can't handle it. I have been sensitive lately and he has been so good to me. He is truly my soul mate and I know he will be there for me for eternity.

I am so happy that Clayton is finally here. It seemed like it took for ever. Well my water broke about 3:30 am and I'm not going to lie to you, it scared me so bad. Being in the occupation that I am I thought something bad was wrong because I heard a big pop and I felt it in my chest, yeah wasn't expecting that. So I woke up immediately, which woke Spencer. I got up and the water started coming out. It felt like I wet the bed really bad. Anyways we went to the hospital got my epidural and 3 hours later I was complete. HURRAY!!. Not so fast...I was complete for 5 hours and I pushed for 3 hours. The doctor was concerned that the baby wouldn't fit in between my pelvis. I asked him to try forceps before doing a c-section. He did and 5 minutes later Clayton was born, with no complications. He is big and healthy. 8lb 1oz, and 20.5 inches long, thats including his pure cone head. Spencer was and still is a wonderful help. He even did the pressure points we learned in our class before I got my epidural. We are all home now and loving life together. It's amazing how you can love such a little thing the first time you meet. LIFE IS GREAT! (except for a sore bottom).
