Jace is 2!!

WOW! I can't believe this has gotten here so fast. Jace is 2. It seems unreal, like I was just holding him in my arms, and waking up for midnight feedings. But no, he now walks and talks and has his own little ATTITUDE! LOL. If you've ever been around him you know what I mean. He doesn't hesitate to let you know EXACTLY how he feels. This will prove to be a very interesting 16 more years or so. Ha! Anyway, we had his party at our house with a ball theme (what else?), that he absolutely loved. He is all about balls, any kind will do, baseballs, footballs, he doesn't care. Mostly just family showed, and that was nice. I'm sure starting next year we will have kids running everywhere for Bryce's birthday, so just to be able to enjoy family was good. He received so much stuff its hard to name it all. Books, clothes, movies, bath stuff and a few toys. He was super excited about it all. We had so much fun and made memories to last a lifetime!

The Boys Today

     So.. My friend Lindsay tells me I don't blog enough and in truth she is right. I want to keep up but it's so hard to do right now with all I have going on. School is kicking my bootie!! But I wanted to update you on the boys.
     Bryce is all boy as always. He has picked out EVERY toy in the Toys R Us big toy book this year and he drags it around everywhere! He is completely potty trained and has slept in his "big boy bed" in his room with Jace for the last three nights in a row. YEAH!!! Mommy and daddy have their bed back after 3 almost 4 years!! We have started a new routine where we have baths at 7:30 and in the bed by 8:30. If theres a movie they want to watch great, but bed by 8:30 it is. So far it has worked!! Bryce is almost four and it breaks my heart to think he's growing up soo fast. He is 39 pounds now and he's up to my hip in height, however tall that is!! LOL!
     Jace is almost two and yet again my heart breaks when I think about how fast he has grown. Before long I'll be writing about how he will be driving it seems. Anyway, he is 28 pounds now and he is up to Bryce's shoulder in his height. Shaun keeps saying how he thinks he's small for his age but I think he's probably just right. ;) He has become more active over the last few months and he's getting where he is all about tractors. Who would have thunk it? Wonder where that came from? He is still a little sweetheart, kisses all the time. Last night after bath time he had to play with daddy and everytime Shaun would blow in his face he would grab Shaun's cheeks and pull him to him for a big 'ole smack!! He is too funny and sweet!
     Just a quick update on the boys and how they are growing so fast!! A glimpse into my beautiful life!

Jace's Ears!

Today I had to take Jace for a checkup with our new ENT!! I love him he is GREAT!! Anyway, we got there and saw his nurse practitioner today who informed me that Jace's hearing is excellent and his tubes were in good position and open when we had his hearing test done a week ago. She proceeded to do her exam and when she got to his right ear she gave me so news that I am sooo not happy about. In one week since his hearing test his right tube has stopped up!! So now we have ear drops and peroxide solution to try and unstop this tube. I almost CRIED!! I told her I am sooooo frustrated with this whole tube situation with both boys always having something wrong!! Anyway, we now will have a return visit sometime in late November for another check up! Please keep us in your prayers!

Jace @ 17months

So my "baby" is 17 months old now and it seems like he is growing inches everyday. I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems like he was just born and then we just had his 1st birthday and now he's almost 1 1/2 years old. He is such a happy boy, he's always laughing. He LOVES to play with a ball, anytime and all day. He can entertain himself for hours just throwing it around. He is sooo cute. He'll hold the ball over his head and wait for you to count. One....Two.... and then he screams TREEE and throws the ball at you. You had better be ready to, for such a little guy he certainly has a big arm. There have been many times when he's caught me off guard and hit me in the head, HARD!

He loves to laugh too. Anything will get him started. He especially likes to play "Where's Jace?". If you ask him where's Jace he'll put his hands over his eyes and stand completely still for a few seconds and then throw his arms out and holler "Eyyyyyyy". Then he's all laughs and giggles and then it's time to repeat. He now says Momma, Dada, thank you, welcome, and meows like a cat while he's chasing the cat around the house.

He's growing so much and changing everyday. I love my little men with all my heart.

Jace is here!!

Jace arrived Thursday February 18, 2010 at 10:11am. He was a whopping 8lbs 14 ozs and 21 inches long. He was just perfect in every way! After all the complications with this pregnancy, preterm labor, high blood pressure, etc. he finally made his way here. I had gone to the doctor Wednesday and she told me it probably wouldn't be long but she wasn't comfortable inducing me yet. I was very disappointed. When you get to the end of a pregnancy, you're just ready for them to get here already! That night while laying in bed, I started having contractions about 5 mins apart. My mother and I decided it was time to head to the hospital about 11:00 that night since they weren't going away. When we arrived, naturally my blood pressure was outrageous so Dr. Pennebaker decided to keep me and induce me the following morning. YAY! After 4 hours of Pitocin (that stuff is the devil), a terrible epidural experience, and awful spinal headache it was time to push. After three pushes he arrived. Beautiful baby boy! Just perfect!! We are so in love and can't wait for Bryce to meet him!

Baby #2 is.........

Well, if you guessed girl, you were wrong, just like me. It's a BOY! Another one! LOL. We are so excited. Jace Kellen Jaxon Coleman is on his way. I was so convinced this one was a girl I almost didn't believe the US tech when she said boy, but when I saw the screen, there was NO denying it. He is definitely a boy, lol. And soooo precious. We can't wait to meet him.

We're Pregnant Again!

We found out we were pregnant with Coleman #2 today! We are so excited and can not wait to find out what it will be. I had been feeling really yucky lately and had actually taken a pregnancy test the weekend before but it came back negative. Thinking I was just coming down with a cold or something, I wrote it off as no big deal. But the farther along the week went the nastier I felt. So Monday I went shopping and picked up another test not really expecting it to be positive. When I took it however, it was. I was completely shocked!! I couldn't believe it, we hadn't even been trying, if anything we'd been trying to prevent it. WOW! I was half way through nursing school with another baby on the way. We soon took it as a sign this little one was supposed to be here and with us and were overjoyed. Our families were as well. We were so surprised and happy with this new development in our lives. God is good!
