Welcome to the World Jane Elizabeth Rasmussen!

Welcome to the world Jane! We are so glad to have our little Jane finally here with us. I am so sorry this has taken me so long to post, my recovery from my c-section was rough this time around. Jane was born at 7:23 am on December 1st at 8 lbs. 14 oz. She is doing great, she has darker hair and weighted more then my other two. The c-section went fast and smooth. I was a nervous wreck, but as soon as they pulled her out I was just fine after I heard her cry. I was able to go home a day early because I was recovering well. I had quite a bit of bruising this time, but other then that my doctor said everything looks great. Healing this time has been a little rough but I am feeling better each day. Jane is such a sweet baby. At Jane's first doctor's visit about a week later she gained weight, she weight 9 lbs even, she had a touch of jaundice but nothing to worry about they said. It was so great to see Caleb and Kate's reaction to Jane. I was worried about Caleb but he was so excited when he came in the hospital room and saw her. He lifted his arms up in the air and with was talking very excitedly. I wish I knew what he was saying, he was very serious about what he was saying and he was talking like everyone knew what he had said. He was so excited to meet her. It almost seems like he remembered her from Heaven, the way he reacted to her. I'll never know, but it's a nice thought. Kate loves to hold Jane all the time, she is so excited to be a big sister again. They are both very helpful. Kate likes to hold her and Caleb loves to throw the diapers away in the garbage, funny I know but he does. So far everything is going pretty well. We are so excited and over joyed to have Jane in our family. So welcome to the world Jane we love you tons all ready!

We are going to miss our Plane!

Kate and Caleb have really started playing really well together, especially when it comes to imaginary play. Today Kate packed her suit case and her carry on bag and her stroller to catch the plane that was down the hall. She said we have to wait the plane is broken, that's funny because that is what happen to Grandma's plane when she came to visit. She continues to play and calls me into Caleb's room, she says the girl co-pilot said we have to put our suitcases underneath even the stroller this time. _She proceeds to point to the dogs Kennel as the cargo part of the plane, she stuck all her luggage in the cage. Then she put Caleb on the plane with her which end up being Caleb's crib. Just to funny for words. Caleb had a great time playing air plane with Kate. It helps that they can play together now and entertaining themselves, it makes watching them a little easier while I am healing from my c-section.

To update you, Kate is loving the fact she gets to go to Preschool three times a week, she is doing really well. She love to create and draw pictures, she is really taking off with writing her letters. She can now write her first name, thank goodness it is only four letters, she is just now trying to attempt our last name. She is really taking ownership of her toys and cleaning up after herself and making her bed. She is still her talkative self. Always asking what seems like to many questions , which I don't mind. She loves to read books and retell ing you the story after you read it to her. Fancy Nancy is still her favorite books to read. She loves to dress up and pretend she is different animals and princesses. She loves to create with play dough. Kate also loves to sing Taylor Swift songs in the car to her brother and sister, she knows the words to the songs better than I do. That's about it for Kate right now.

Caleb is now 19 months old and weights about 23 pounds, still my little guy. He loves to play with his sisters. He is really signing a lot more words now, he knows more, cookie, cracker, please, all done, eat, drink. He says da da, Jane, Kate, Sadie, ball, and he is started to repeat what you are saying. All he teeth are coming in all at the same time, yeah for me. Caleb loves to wear hats and make car sounds when he plays with his cars. He still loves, I mean really loves to take baths. Caleb is still his silly funny self, he make me laugh everyday. He likes to make fun of Kate getting sent to the corner. Caleb walks over to the corner and lets out a pretend cry and turns around and smiles at you, it's to cute. I am so grateful for my children and that they are all healthy and strong.
