I have so many men in my life that I love so much...but I think I found the one that trumps them all! :)
I keep saying knock on wood that things don't shift as he "wakes up" more. But so far Waylon has been my easiest baby BY FAR! This also may be exaggerated b/c he is my third so I am MUCH less nervous.
He seriously LOVES to sleep. He wakes (on his own) every 2 to 3 hours to eat and he eats like a mad man then sometimes he hang out awake for a short while (rare) but most of the time he just goes back to sleep until he needs to eat again! It is crazy! Now I know this will change and I'm ok with that but for now I am enjoying the gentle transition into having 3 kids. I do pray he stays easy and continues to just go with the flow.
Waylon is so cuddly too. He somehow find the perfect position when cuddling it is awesome.
He is also the king of hiccups which disturbs his sleep sometimes but we figure it out.
He loves his momma haha I think all my kids have at this stage though b.c I kinda am the main caregiver and food source.
I'm seriously just so crazy in love with him and his sweet self. I just love to kiss his sweet face and snuggle him.
Night is the same as day in that he wakes every 3 or so hours to eat but he eats and is back to sleep!
Praying hard he stays not fussy.
So I also have to say how crazy in love with my husband I am right now. He is stepping it up like never before it is SO amazing! I seriously don't have to even ask for help most of the time, he just volunteers and takes things on I never expect him to. I am SO blessed!!!
I am starting to feel like our little family is complete...it just feels right. Hoping my heart continues to feel that way even as he grows up.
I am also crazy in love with how amazing my girls are doing. They both have their moments of misbehaving but over all they have done so well! They are so in love with their brother it is awesome! Miley wants to kiss him all the time! She still calls him "Baby Hug-o" it is too cute!

3rd time mom
There are many ways you know you are a first time mom...
When I had Tommi I wrote down everytime she fed, which side, how long (exactly), and how the feed was. I did that for a few weeks.
With Miley I wrote it down a little but not as much detail...for about 2 weeks.
With Waylon...yeah I have written nothing down and hardly pay attention to the time haha
He is my biggest so I am not worried as much but still it is funny how that works.

Baby Hugo!!!!!
Well "baby Hugo" has arrived and his official name is WAYLON THOR FRAZIER. He is referred to as baby Hugo still most of the time haha Poor guy may never live that one down.
His sisters are crazy in love with him! Miley's reactions was PERFECT! She was so excited to meet him and wanted to hold him immediately! It was amazing! Of course Tommi took to him like I expected! They both had hearts in their eyes from moment one!
Well lets rewind and document his birth story...
Saturday June 14th we didn't do anything special I felt pretty normal during the day just like I have been feeling recently nothing "odd". We went to church that evening and TJ's uncle Ronald joked about me being about to pop and I seriously thought "It may be another 2 weeks of this." We came home put the girls to bed and then I hung out for a bit but decided to go to bed about 11pm. I zonked out...
Sunday June 15th at 2:00am I "peed" myself...or so I thought. I got up and laughed b/c I seriously thought I must have had a dream and peed. So I went in and peed some more. I changed my clothes and it occurred to me my water could have broken but it wasn't a big flood (like it was with the girls) so I doubted it. I laid back down and with my mind racing I started cramping like just mild menstrual cramps, I got up b/c I knew I was not falling back to sleep soon. So I was in and out of the bathroom b/c I felt like I had to pee and pacing. Timing the random contractions I was having but they were mild I only knew if I felt the tightening in my belly (and the fact the fluid kept leaking when I had contractions haha but the cramping was getting worse. I started noticing I was losing my plug when I went to the bathroom so I figured that might be what was going on. So I walked around thinking things might stop soon. But I just didn't feel good. So I woke TJ up at 230ish and told him I didn't feel good. In the back of my mind I knew my water had broken but I was just kinda dilutional I guess (just like I was with Miley) well after talking to him a bit I noticed my contractions were about 2-3 min apart but they still were crampy more than painful contractions. I could still talk through them. But he said we needed to head out...so he called his parents. I tried to text and call mine...just so they knew what was up but no one answered.
We left the house a little after 3am. I called the midwifes to tell them I was headed out.
We got to the hospital and I was really hurting. Finally got to our room and the nurse gave me a gown but when I went to change I really didn't want to b/c I was hurting so bad so I just took off my underwear. I got in bed and told TJ he needed to get the nurse b/c I felt like I needed to push. He went out to let her know. They came back in to check me and sure enough I was ready to go haha
My midwife was not there yet so they talked about finding any dr they could no matter if they were part of the practice I was with or not haha
They got a dr in there and suited up but minutes later my midwife walked in (in flip flops haha) She said I sounded so calm that she didn't rush. The nurses all kept saying the same thing, that I seemed to calm to be as far along as I was.
Well I'm not sure how much time passed or how many times I pushed (but supposedly I am a strong pusher haha) Well it felt like it took forever but FINALLY I delivered and felt like a MILLION bucks b/c he was not easy to deliver! They laid him on my chest and I seriously was on cloud 9. He was SO amazing. The first thing I looked for when they lifted him up to me was if it was for sure a boy! haha and there was no doubt. I seriously was in my own world after that! Just loving him!
After a while they took him away to weigh him and all that. Well he was hard to deliver b/c he was 9LBS!!! Well 8lbs 15.5ozes but they said if he had not pooped in utero (they didn't tell me that till later) he probably would have been 9lbs! I was in total shock but kinda proud of myself.
So I did find out later he pooped in utero but I guess they were not too worried...thank you Jesus!
He was not a happy camper for the first couple hours of life...just really fussy. But after he finally nursed he did well and passed out.
He is the most amazing little thing ever!
Note...arrived at hospital around 3:40am delivered at 4:09am
On our 8th anniversary and Fathers day!

How are you feeling?
This question is such a kind question....BUT when asked EVERYDAY and multiple times a day for the purpose of wanting to know if I'm feeling labor pains it is one of the most annoying questions ever!!!!! Look people I will tell you when I'm in labor!
The conversation usually is
Them: How are you feeling?
Me: Good. Same as I have been just chugging along.
Them: Aww.
Uhh...seriously? A smile and a "I'm glad you are feeling good." would be REALLY nice. It is like people feel bad for me b/c I am super pregnant. Please people do not feel bad for me...be tough for me! I am emotional, worn out..physically and mentally, and just need POSTIVE comments.
I DO NOT need to hear when YOU think the baby will be here...side note: I do not mind it from my immediate family (mom, dad, brothers, husband) I do not mind if people say "My guess was/is ____." But the "Oh there is no way you will got over due" or the constant change of guesses from people who was not in my comfort zone (which is VERY small) I just don't need their opinion.
Honestly if I could hibernate I would. I honestly would crawl in a hole and sleep b/c I get so tired of the comments. I mean I know no one means any harm but it is just so annoying to hear how big I am or how people feel so bad for me.
I AM FINE! I am carrying a healthy FULL TERM baby! I could not ask for more. If God planned my babies to be late then I'm good with that! I seriously do not want them to come a second sooner than God planned (obviously they can't) but I just praise the Lord for having THREE healthy pregnancies. I mean seriously I am blessed beyond my own understanding to carry my babies. I enjoy them SO much! Yes I have pain and discomfort...ask TJ I complain a lot. Ask my girls they have to sacrifice right now b/c mommy can't do as much.
I would take going overdue over having to pray my babies stay in till a certain point ANY DAY! God created my body to do this, I came into this world predestine to do this.
So please approach me with a POSTIVE attitude. Tell me how great I look (even if you have to lie!!), tell me how great I am doing, tell me I'm tough, tell me I am your hero, I don't care just pat me on the back and help me along.
I have said this a million times I would not be where I am with out my mom and TJ!!! I seriously could not be more thankful for them. They both listen to me complain but don't feel sorry for me b/c they know it is what it is and this baby will come when he is supposed to. They encourage me to keep on keepin on and I NEED that!
So there is my rant...
How am I truly feeling? I am VERY tired, I have had a lot of shooting pains from pressure, he is on a nerve that makes my right leg buckle everyonce in a while, I have burning like my skin is on fire right at my bikini line on my right leg, I have heartburn, I feel like my ribs are about to break, my hands and feet hurt like I have arthritis, I have to wake up and painfully roll over a couple times a night, and with all that said. I am loving his shifts and movements, how he pushes his feet out on my left side where I look like I have a ball coming out the side, I love my big belly b/c it is just fun!, and I love the thought of actually carrying one of Gods miracles, I love to feel tough like at the end of the day that I accomplished something in just getting through another day, and I love that I am fully capable of (almost) fully functioning when SO many have problems by this point.
I know women carry babies and give birth everyday but somehow I feel kinda like I'm super woman just for enduring it all. I love it!
I love being pregnant and am going to miss it but I also am ready to be back to somewhat normal and be able to lean over haha Life is good.
I admit I have been slightly depressed every passing day that I don't have him but then again life is going to get crazy so him staying in allows me time to prepare more. I just want the world to meet the little man and I want to see his face. I feel like I already know him but in reality I am going to meet him too. This is just so fun!
Vent over but I love documenting my thoughts b/c I have done so little of it this time.

38 WEEKS
Well here we are 38 weeks with my last baby and precious little boy. I seriously feel the last month has gone by faster than any other month. It has been insane!
How I feel...which I am asked many times daily...I feel 9 months pregnant but I really can't complain much. I have pain and sometimes lots of it, I'm tired, and over all uncomfortable. I have lots of cramps recently! Well if I sit still I feel great! haha But I seriously could have it SO much worse! I am also honestly loving this little guys crazy movements, lots of hiccups, and the belly is fun (except for when it gets in the way). Pregnancy is seriously such a miracle!
I am SO anxious to meet him and love him. I am anxious to have a sweet newborn lay on my chest and just be content. I can not wait to see the girls with their little brother and to create a new little life. It will be VERY challenging but fun!
So I had my 38 week appt today...I had never met this midwife and she was nice but kinda vague and not real warm. So the appt was very fast! She asked if I was using any supplements for labor and I said no...she suggested Gentle Birth but after looking it up it helps with advancing dilation, quicker labor, and quicker recovery. It is not worth buying for me. I will just see how things go on their own...I have loved my last 2 births so I am trusting this one will be good too.
She did check me and I am 1cm, 70% effaced, and baby is at station -2. His heartbeat was 130-140bpm and I am measuring 40 weeks...eek! I have never measured ahead in my other pregnancies but I have a few times in this one.
TJ's guess is June 11 (next Wednesday), mom's guess is June 18 (the next Wednesday) and my guess is June 16 (a week from Monday)
Guess we will see when God has this little one planned!!

Today...
Tommi has been trying to learn to pump on the swing but when we are around she seems to give up easily and want us to push her. Well today she wanted to go swing before church but we had to get ready so we told her she could go out by herself and swing but we couldn't go out. So we just kept the front door open and came out and talked to her while we got ready. She sat on the swing for a bit and you could tell she was bored so I came out on the porch to talk to her and she asked me to push her I said no I was not coming down there. I told her she came do it she just needs to try. Well low and behold with in a minute she was swinging by herself! It was SO awesome! She was so proud of herself as we are! She was just not giving herself enough credit! Yay for success but good gracious when did my baby grow up!?!
Also at church Miley was sitting on my lap touching my belly so I said "Who is in my belly?" She said "Baby Hugo, MY baby Hugo. Come out." (she pronounces it Hug-O haha too cute) It was so sweet! I'm hoping she is warming up to the idea and thankful she is at least some what ok with it even though she has NO idea what is about to happen to her little world. She is such a momma's girl so I'm hoping she tolerates him pretty well.
I will be 36 weeks tomorrow! How crazy!

Emotional
Holy moses am I crazy emotional!!! I seriously have cried about EVERYTHING!
I was cleaning the bathroom today and around my tub their are a lot of nooks and crannies (reason #1 I hate big bathtubs!) Well I could not get in a certain section and started crying b/c it bothered me so bad that I couldn't get it clean...note..I never have been able to so why this bugged me now I have no idea.
I usually am one who can get my feelings hurt relatively easy but right now it is times 10! It is frustrating how bad it is, I do not remember my emotions this out of wack with the girls. But here we are and things could be ALOT worse.
I am also dealing with some crazy pain...I feel like I have been riding a horse for a week non stop. My inner thighs and pubic bone are SO sore! It gets better with rest and does not hurt all the time but mainly when I am in bed and when I have been on my feet too much. Rolling over in bed is tough but then also hurts so bad I get teary eyed everytime I roll over...so like 3 to 4 times a night on a good night. I did ask my midwife about it and she said it was pretty normal and is due to my pelvis being looser this time...yay!
Again I can't complain too much b/c I do not have it as bad as some. Plus I kinda have no choice but to keep on chugging along. Almost nightly baths helps a lot!
I also have gained quite a bit of weight with this little guy...eek! I hit the 30 pound mark this week and I still have 5 weeks to go...oops! My midwife has not said anything but I know my body is NOT happy!
But oh boy am I enjoying this little man and how crazy active he is! I am crazy in love with him and his silly self. I can not rest my hands/arms/anything on my belly with out him going crazy to kick it off! Tommi thinks it is hilarious and loves to lay on him to get him annoyed! She also loves his hiccups but the kicks and big movements are her favorite. Mine too!
I had an ultrasound and centering last night. The u/s was so sweet! He was cuddled up to my placenta and did not want to come off so we could get some really good pictures of his face...we did see him pretty well though. He is head down and ready to rumble! Fluid is good. He also was showing off his boy parts once again :) He punched the wand a couple times! So the ultrasound was over all great. I wish I had asked about his size but that is always a guess so it is no big deal. The tech did worry me when she was trying hard to get him off his placenta b/c she seemed to want to see his face better for a reason but I'm hoping that was just my worrying self reading into things.
Centering was good...nothing exciting.
I was supposed to start weekly appointments next week but when I called today the only appointment they could get was Monday at 1pm and I thought that was silly b/c it is less than a week since my last appt and the next is almost 2 weeks later. So I asked if they minded if I just waited till I go back to centering on the 29th and they said that was fine esp since this is my 3rd so I kinda know what is up. But then I did set up weeklys for week 38 and week 40 (39 weeks is centering) I am hoping I do not make it to my 40 week one which is the Thursday after I'm due. I'm praying for a due date baby or a couple days early. Crazy to think I only have 3 more appointments till my due date! eek! So exciting yet nerve racking.
My MIL, SIL, and Aunt in law decided they wanted to do a shower for me since I am having a boy this time....I'm excited. I basically just need/want some more clothes, diapers (i'm not doing cloth until we are in a routine), double stroller, and odds and ends boy stuff. So due to crazy schedules of everyone involved the shower is not until June 5th. So I will be 38 weeks.
My Thursday nights for the next 4 weeks are booked haha Tommi's preschool graduation, then centering, then my shower, and then another centering haha Thursdays are good days!
I really want to meet this guy but then again want time to slow down b/c I want to enjoy this time but I am ready for June when the only plans I have are drs appts and shower. No more school for Tommi and no weekend plans except chillin with my little family which I am hoping we can find some adventures to get into so we can celebrate these girls some more.
I'm not as able to do as much and with the warm weather I feel like such a downer for the girls but the cuddle time has been AMAZING!!! I am really sad thinking about having to share the attention even more soon but it will work out and I'm going to balance it. I just want my girls to know how much they are loved by momma b/c I know others will take over and help with them in the beginning but there is NO ONE like momma and I want them to know this little guy is NOT going to replace them and he will fall into our family well b/c God put him here and will take care of us. I am much more worried about Miley b/c I know Tommi understands...mostly.
But like when I had Miley, things will fall into place!
If I'm right on my guess which actually I have been one day off with both my girls. I guessed the 11th for Tommi and 18th for Miley. Then it will be exactly a month!
Praying for good labor and perfect baby!
My wish for Tommi was to have her daddys blue eyes, with Miley I wanted a dark little one, and this time I am dreaming of a bald blue eyed boy. So since I have gotten my wish the last 2 times hopefully I will this time too! I will be shocked to see if he has hair b/c I just can't see it for some reason.

I also have gained quite a bit of weight with this little guy...eek! I hit the 30 pound mark this week and I still have 5 weeks to go...oops! My midwife has not said anything but I know my body is NOT happy!
But oh boy am I enjoying this little man and how crazy active he is! I am crazy in love with him and his silly self. I can not rest my hands/arms/anything on my belly with out him going crazy to kick it off! Tommi thinks it is hilarious and loves to lay on him to get him annoyed! She also loves his hiccups but the kicks and big movements are her favorite. Mine too!
I had an ultrasound and centering last night. The u/s was so sweet! He was cuddled up to my placenta and did not want to come off so we could get some really good pictures of his face...we did see him pretty well though. He is head down and ready to rumble! Fluid is good. He also was showing off his boy parts once again :) He punched the wand a couple times! So the ultrasound was over all great. I wish I had asked about his size but that is always a guess so it is no big deal. The tech did worry me when she was trying hard to get him off his placenta b/c she seemed to want to see his face better for a reason but I'm hoping that was just my worrying self reading into things.
Centering was good...nothing exciting.
I was supposed to start weekly appointments next week but when I called today the only appointment they could get was Monday at 1pm and I thought that was silly b/c it is less than a week since my last appt and the next is almost 2 weeks later. So I asked if they minded if I just waited till I go back to centering on the 29th and they said that was fine esp since this is my 3rd so I kinda know what is up. But then I did set up weeklys for week 38 and week 40 (39 weeks is centering) I am hoping I do not make it to my 40 week one which is the Thursday after I'm due. I'm praying for a due date baby or a couple days early. Crazy to think I only have 3 more appointments till my due date! eek! So exciting yet nerve racking.
My MIL, SIL, and Aunt in law decided they wanted to do a shower for me since I am having a boy this time....I'm excited. I basically just need/want some more clothes, diapers (i'm not doing cloth until we are in a routine), double stroller, and odds and ends boy stuff. So due to crazy schedules of everyone involved the shower is not until June 5th. So I will be 38 weeks.
My Thursday nights for the next 4 weeks are booked haha Tommi's preschool graduation, then centering, then my shower, and then another centering haha Thursdays are good days!
I really want to meet this guy but then again want time to slow down b/c I want to enjoy this time but I am ready for June when the only plans I have are drs appts and shower. No more school for Tommi and no weekend plans except chillin with my little family which I am hoping we can find some adventures to get into so we can celebrate these girls some more.
I'm not as able to do as much and with the warm weather I feel like such a downer for the girls but the cuddle time has been AMAZING!!! I am really sad thinking about having to share the attention even more soon but it will work out and I'm going to balance it. I just want my girls to know how much they are loved by momma b/c I know others will take over and help with them in the beginning but there is NO ONE like momma and I want them to know this little guy is NOT going to replace them and he will fall into our family well b/c God put him here and will take care of us. I am much more worried about Miley b/c I know Tommi understands...mostly.
But like when I had Miley, things will fall into place!
If I'm right on my guess which actually I have been one day off with both my girls. I guessed the 11th for Tommi and 18th for Miley. Then it will be exactly a month!
Praying for good labor and perfect baby!
My wish for Tommi was to have her daddys blue eyes, with Miley I wanted a dark little one, and this time I am dreaming of a bald blue eyed boy. So since I have gotten my wish the last 2 times hopefully I will this time too! I will be shocked to see if he has hair b/c I just can't see it for some reason.
