We call him Miracle

Here was me on my due date (40 Wks)

Here I am at hospital waiting to be induced at 41 weeks (below)

I honestly dont think that I could have gotten any bigger. I gained 35 lbs with Lucas, which is better than the 50 I gained with Landen and the 60 I gained with Logan, but this was the biggest I have ever gotten.

Here I am when I left hosptial, werid to be able to see my feet, but still have a long ways to go to lose the baby weight!

Well as many of you may already know that Lucas was our surprise baby, our blessing baby. 

He was a prevention baby but the Lord had other plans for us. Early on there was alot of complications. From week 6 to week 12 I was coming in almost every week and getting ultrasounds because they thought that I was going to miscarry and Lucas heartbeat was so very low. Each week we were blessed to have him still there with us. This pregnancy was the hardest ever. I was sick up until about 20 weeks and experienced so much pain and issues that I never did with the others. I was having to pretty much stay off my feet, which was really hard with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old. Finally towards the end when he was due I developed a sinus infection and bronchitis and a start of an ear infection. The Lord held him off for a week for me to heal some!. I went to hospital to be induced at 7 am they got me going finally by 8:30 am. when I hit 4 cm they popped my water and then by 1 I was 6 cm and 45 min later I was already 10 cm.

Then March 1, 2012 at 2:23 pm Lucas arrived at 8 lbs. 4 oz. 20 1/2 in.

with a head full dark long hair ( no wonder I had heartburn from hell)

But this isnt where the story ends, when he was born, he was borned right in time as the cord was wrapped around his neck not once but twice. He had a high temp of 101 and had me do skin to skin for over an hr before anyone could hold. Finally it came down. Our second day there, was all the tornandos and when the warning came out we all had to go sit in the hallway (werid experience).  Well while at the hospital he had slight Jandice, failed his hearing test in one hear (passed the next day, praise the Lord) and they found that he has a heart murmur and had to see an heart Dr.  After having a scope done it was determined that it wasnt serious and hopfully will fix itself. Has to be seen back at a year. Well we finally get to come home!!!!

I balled cried like the biggest baby in the world, when I got to see Landen and Logan (they werent able to come visit at hospital bc they both had sinus infections too) and when I saw thier reaction to the baby. I was so nervous about Logan bc he still is the baby and a clingy one at that but also a bully but he was so happy and excited and so easy. He has been great with Lucas, wants to hold him and "pet" him and kiss him. Landen has been a wonderful helper! I am truly blessed.

Well theres still more.... a week after Lucas was born I got a call from the Dr. saying that his newborn test dealing with his thyroid was abmornal and that I needed to take him to the hospital to be retested. It was so hard to see your 1 week old get a needle (iv) in his hand and fill 3 tubes of blood :( but he did great. His poor little hand bruised so bad. Well we got results next day and praise the Lord again, it came back normal but on the lower side. As of right now he didnt need to be put on any meds and they will retest him at a month, so please remember us in your prayers then!

Well also after coming home Lucas started throwing up after every bottle, had a hard time keeping anything down. It turns out he has reflux. It wakes him when sleeping he is constantly swallowing it all back down and chokes and gags on it :( and I guess from all the stuff he swallows back down gives him really bad belly aches. I hate when I have to see him in pain. Other than that Lucas is a great baby, never fuses unless he is in pain. He grins so much and I dont mean from gas pains, he loves when you talk to him he grins so big at you and hes so alert when he up!.

Here are a few pics of all the boys!

Heres a few pics I got of Lucas smiling!

Happy 2 week Birthday Lucas!



Its been awhile

Well I thought that I would update on some of the things happening in the Marrs' Household. Most recently Logan has cut 5 new teeth in the last month and half, both top pre molars and both bottom pre molars and a bottom tooth. He is up to 11 teeth now. Such a big boy!!!!

Cheese!!!!!

As many know Logan and Landen both have been sleeping in our room/bed for as long as I can even remember. Landen never had a problem sleeping in his own bed in his room until Logan came home and was a colicy, fussy baby that ended up in our bed. So then Landen had to sleep with us as well. We finally got him to sleep in a toddler bed at the end of our bed, while Logan still stayed in our bed :(. But we recently moved Landen into Logans room (which he never sleeps in) and they now share a room, so the new baby coming can have a room. Landen has now been sleeping in his own room again for a month now, we are so happy. However Logan still refuses to sleep in his bed. BOO! We are working on it.

Get me out of here!

On a good note, today is day 3 of no more binky for Logan, he has done great and I am shocked and relieved that he hasnt even fused for it...yet.

Logan also has a new trick he has been doing for while now, check it out below:

I see you!

He also like to play DS

Here are a few Pics of the boys together:



This is Logan being still, this doesnt happen often, he loves to make a mess everywhere he goes and he likes to rough house with Landen. He tackles him and knocks his down and bullys him and Landen just takes it, unless Logan is messing up something Landen is trying to make or bulid then he gets mad and upset.

As for me I am 29 weeks tomorrow, and I dont know how I am going to make it another 11 weeks. I feel massive, nothing fits, not even maternity clothes from past pregnancies. My back already hurts, I cant ever get comfortable, waddle big time, cant bend over. I dont recall all this this early with the other pregnancies.  Still not sure on a name yet. Landen says his name is "rugrat"

28 weeks

It's a

It's a BOY

Well as the saying goes, a mother always knows. I knew from the moment I found out about our little surprise that it was a Boy. I'm not going to lie I hoped for a chance to have a girl but I guess the Lord had other plans. What am I going to do with 4 boys (including Bubby) in the house. My boys are such momma boys too, they fight over me and most times dont like to share me, they will get along and share anything else but me. Im going to have a hard time holding 3 now!!!! We have a few names in mind that we like but nothing set in stone. We are very happy and thankful for a so far extremely perfect and healthly little one.

I am 20 weeks, so we are half way there, before we get to meet our little man. We love you so much already!

David and Goliath

Last week Landen was learning about the letter B and they had a book day, where he had to bring in his favorite book as well as dress as his favorite character. Landen picked his David and Goliath book and wanted to dress like David, so that he would use a sling shot. However that morning he didnt want any part of wearing his outfit we had for him. The only thing he would wear was his dragan pj's, so we went with it. so here are some pics of him with the outfit he picked to wear.

 His home-made sling shot

What he ended up looking like

MoNkEy LoVe

Logan got a Snuggle Pal for his birthday from his Memaw from http://www.myhopeandhealing.com/ (he was even asked to be on the web site, hes a star). Logan loves it his monkey and taking naps with it is his favorite. Here are a few pics of him loving on his monkey.

Logan's 1st Hair Cut

     Well I think everyone finally got on Bubbys nerves enough to let me get Logans hair cut. He needed one so bad for so long. We keep his hair brushed to the side but it still falls in his face. When its straight down it was to his nose, it was hanging over half his ear and could almost put it in small ponytail in the back. I loved his long hair too but he did need a trim forsure.We started calling his Samson because Bubby didnt want to cut his hair. It was so funny because Bubby kept saying he doesnt need a hair cut but could use a little cut in the front, sides and back. Isnt that called a haircut???? I was was nervous that he was going to be so fussy when the lady started touching and messing with his hair, but he did great. We took him to Kid O Cuts and he got to sit in the same car chair as Landen did at this first hair cut when he was 9 months old. Also after getting home I looked up Landen baby book and it was funny they both got thier hair cut there on the 24th. Here are just a few:

Where has the year gone?

 gross teething habit these days

They love each other so much

Logan is 1!!!!!

He had his 1 yr check up yesterday and was only 28 in long and leveled out at 22 lbs.

He was not about to get two of his shots right now since he is extremely allergic to eggs.

He still only has 6 teeth but is cutting 4 right now, 2 of them being his premolars, ouch!

He eats anything and everything these days, he is a HUGE eater at that.

He loves cars, balls and anything that sings that he can dance too, he loves to dance.

Its so hard to beleive that we survived this year and even hard to beleive we will be doing it all over again in 5 months. Its to crazy to me to think that Logan will not be the baby anymore.
