Noah Allwyn Satvedi


Noah Allwyn Satvedi, 5lb 11 oz and 19 inches long joined our family on Tuesday December 27th, 2011. I feel so blessed when i look at his little face to call him mine. He is just so sweet! Micah and Josiah havent been to visit just yet but hopefully Thursday.
Noah decided to join us a little unexpected, but then again do any of my kids follow the rules? Nope! I've been seeing the high risk specialist the past few weeks as well as my regular OB and during my NSTs I'd been having regular contraction but nothing to cause anyone concern. But when i went on Tuesday the nurse asked when i was checked last and joked i wouldn't make it till Friday the 30th my scheduled c-section date. I went home and continued to have contracting but worked through them even made a store run. I had never been in labor before and didn't want to over react. Then after dinner around bed time the pain was getting worse and the contractions were coming more frequent (though i couldn't keep track because i was getting the boys ready for bed) I then prayed as the boys played in the tub that God would give me another sign. Well, he did just that a few minutes after i took Micah out. My mucus plug fell out so i called the doc. They sent me to the hospital answering service who said they wanted me to come in. i didn't want to over react or so i told them my contractions were closer to 12 minutes apart. She said due to low baby movement and my history to come in. Thank goodness Katie was home from college because we put the boys to bed and she stayed with them. We arrived and they started to monitor me and well my contractions weren't 12 minutes apart but 2 to 5. Ha i was in labor something i hadn't ever made it to before. They called my doc and he said he was heading over to perform the c-section due to active labor. I was in shock, i was about to meet my 3rd son. So at 11:45 i heard my 3rd son cry for the 1st time which made me cry to. I feel so blessed to have 4 amazing me in my life. I owe it all to the Lord for sending Allwyn into my life. I LOVE my men!
Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.
More pictures to come soon.

New House and Updates

I can officially say we are in our new house, we are now Naperville residents. Last Wednesday the movers came packed everything up and drove it over. The house isn't fully put together but things are coming along. The boys have done great with the transition. They love their new rooms and Micah loves 'his' bathroom.

Allwyn wanted to get us in the house before the babies arrival and he successfully did. Baby S is hanging in there but not trouble free. I've been busy with lots of doctor appointments and just preparing for our newest mans arrival. He'll be here soon and i'll update as soon as i know more. Micah told me the other day that hes ready to be a BIG brother to 2 boys. He is such a sweet boy.

I'll post pictures of the boys and house soon, things have just been super crazy!
Thanks for all the Love and support the past 2 weeks.
XOXO

Past few Weeks

The past few weeks have been crazy and gone SO fast! We made our last trip to the zoo as a family of 4 a few weeks ago. The day was perfect and Micah was so excited to spend the day at the zoo.

We've also been busy preparing for not one but two big changes coming to our family. First we've been unpacking and washing tiny little blue onesies and setting up a bassinet as we wait on our 3rd little blessing. I visited the doctor almost two weeks ago and she put me on modified bed rest. In her words this means me being real lazy and letting others wait on me. Ha, i just laughed because that doesn't happen in my life. Allwyn defiantly helps out but he isn't here all the time. This has been hard on me because i can't do some of the things i love. Like... working out. At first i thought it would be great because i would have a reason not to workout but i have realized i enjoy it, it helps release some stress. So, now we're just waiting not knowing when this boy will come, hopefully he'll wait until his scheduled c-section date.
Second, we're busy (or Allwyn is) packing up our home for our move. Yes, it's official we're moving. When we don't know since we don't know the babies plan but we do have keys and are busy getting the house ready for our boys.

Other Happenings:
I had the joy of going to my college friend Rebecca's baby shower. It was so nice to celebrate her and her sweet boy Griffin who will be joining their family in Feb.

I made these burp rags for Griffin, I'd seen them made before and always wanted to try and here they are. I must say i think they turned out pretty cute. Now i just need to find some time to make some for my own little boy.
My sweet Big BIG boy enjoying a cookie from the shower. Rebeccas cousin was sweet enough to let me bring home a sprinkle covered cookie for each of my boys. Micah was so excited and really enjoyed himself.

We also had our maternity shoot. Here's a look...

Monkey Bizness

Today was a cold windy day so we decided to head out to one of our indoor play places, Monkey Bizness. The boys just love it! I pack a lunch and we spend a few hours there playing. Here are some pictures from our morning.

Josiah and Henry were having the best time with this silly bumblebee car. Henry was pushing Josiah around which had them both full of giggles. They also had fun pushing it together.
My little artist. Micah loves the art room (i not so much, because of the mess) He told me he was painting a giraffe.
Josiah coloring
He was very proud of his art.

Happy Halloween part 2

Happy Halloween! With Love, my Mouse and Cheese


Daddy and his boys!



Our pumpkins... Micah enjoyed drawing on the pumpkins for daddy to carve. The cat was a special request of Micahs.

*When i asked Micah months ago what he wanted to be he had one request and wasn't going to budge. I started my search for a costume and came up with nothing not even an idea on how to make a cheese costume. So, after some brain storming this is what we came up with. I wanted something he could wear to school and remove easily and wear over his coat. And the mouse well it only seemed appropriate while i could still choose the costume, that is what Josiah would be. I wore cat ears to keep with theme. The cat chases the mouse (oh yes i do) and the mouse chases the cheese (AND oh yes he does).

Happy Halloween part 1

This morning Micah was excited to put his cheese costume on and head off to school. After drop off the kids had a parade around the play ground for all the parents to get pictures. Enjoy!
(I'll post pictures from tonight later, Josiah is the mouse that chases the cheese)




Today i had the pleasure of joining Micah's class for their Halloween party. Myself and 2 other moms put together a snack (worms in dirt) a game (toss the ghost into the pumpkin) and a craft (canvas trick or treat bags)
Here are some pictures from the afternoon


October 27, 2011

Micah's birthday fell on and Thursday so i got to spend the whole day with him :). We started our morning at dunkin donuts with daddy and Josiah. The boys enjoyed frosting and sprinkle donuts! When i asked Micah what he wanted to do for his birthday he said bake cookies. So, that's just what we did. Daddy then brought home Micah's favorite Chipotle.









On the 28th Allwyn and i went to Micah's school to celebrate with his class. We brought cupcakes and cheese (yes cheese Micah's favorite) Then Allwyn read a book to the class. Micah decided he wanted his daddy to read. It was very sweet. I'm so blessed with a great husband!

Micah turned 4 on the 27th. I can't believe how much he has grown, and how fast its gone! Micah choose to have a safari party and you know that means me going all out for my boy.
