Kaden's First Birthday!!!
Just a couple pictures from Kaden's little man party yesterday! It was so fun. I cried a little. He was spoiled with many toys and lots of books and clothes! So thankful that he is SO loved! ahhh I love decorating parties! We had a taco bar and ice cream bar. Personally, I think it's all about the little touches and details when it comes to decorating a party! I love trying to be creative and add my own touches! Hope you enjoy :) I hope Kaden enjoys these pics as well when he is older. Love my little man.

Tomorrow
My son will be ONE!
Chris and I were laying in bed last night thinking wow....how much has happened in one year. We were remembering what we were doing this time last year and boy I am so glad I am not in labor right now :)
My labor experience was very interesting. It didn't go as I thought it was going to go at all. I thought I was prepared from the birthing classes....but it went nothing like the class said it would.
I was admitted to the hospital at about 10pm on August 17th and was 3 cm. Then at 3 am on the 18th, I was told by all my nurses and doctors that I would be meeting Kaden today!! Well that didn't happen. I made it 17 hours with no drugs except pictocin, then I decided to get the epidural. I was running on no sleep and no food in my belly. All I wanted was a chocolate milkshake or a big can of sprite!! I got stuck at 5.5 cm but thankfully the epidural allowed my body sleep and relax and I progressed to 7 cm but got stuck AGAIN for a couple more hours.... eventually I made it to 9cm and pushed myself to 10cm. I thought that was it and that Kaden would slide right out.. I forgot you had to push! I pushed and pushed and pushed....and pushed some more... I kept on telling my doctor to just cut me open and give me a c-section. The epidural was worn off, I could feel everything. Three hours after pushing, my doctor said okay you have 4 more pushed or were going to have to do an emergency c-section. On the fourth and final push Kaden came! He was born at 6:38 am on August 19th, 20 inches and 9lbs 13 oz :) I was so happy but couldn't believe what my doctor said, "Wow, we should have done a c-section in the first place" Oh sure you say that now after 30 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing and tons of stitches down there!!!
Labor...what an adventure....
But yes...Kaden is ONE year old tomorrow! I can't believe it! :) He took a few steps today. He is basically walking but I won't call it official yet... I'm not ready for it!

Busy weekend!
Tomorrow my parents come into town to help get ready for Kaden's first brithday! We have to make decorations, get everything for the taco bar and ice cream bar, shop for some presents, decorate/clean the house, make a photo booth station, and so much more! On Saturday we are going to go to the lake for just a couple hours since its sooo hot here and then head downtown to look at hotels to book for the wedding and go out to eat and get some half off yummy cupcakes! Sunday is the BIG day! Kaden turns ONE year old. I am so excited for his "little man" birthday party. Tons on mustaches and ties everywhere.
ahhhhh :) !!!!!!!
Heads up, I will probably cry on his birthday. Yup, I know I will.

wedding bells!
We are actually making a lot of progress on our wedding! :) I never thought I would be planning this early but brides these days book 1 year or more in advance! Gotta book the good stuff before its gone!
So far we booked the venue, photographer, caterer, cake, working on dj right now, and we have found groomsmen/bridesmaid outfits! I love wedding planning... well maybe more the decorating than the planning! I have decided to make my own save the dates and invitations! In my mind they are really cute so hopefully they turn out that way too! ahhh can't wait to marry my best friend!
My parents come into town this weekend for Kadens birthday!!! :) :) :)

ONE!
Only one week until my little man Kaden turns ONE! Which also means only one more little week of breastfeeding left to go! :) I am so happy I stuck to my goal no matter how hard, exhausting, or stressful it got! He didn't drink one drop of formula!
I started the weaning process today, hopeing to nurse for the last time on his birthday! He drank his first cup of whole milk and loved it! Kaden has his favorite nursing pillow that he will hand me or keep on handing me until he gets what he wants... "the boob". We might have to throw that pillow away :)
365 days of breastfeeding done. Thank goodness it's done! (Almost)
Until next time....

ahhhhh
Starting to get a little overwhelmed with planning a first birthday party and planning a wedding. My head is going in all different directions and I can barely sleep. I am mostly excited, but also anxious.
