So I think that it is time for an update on the blog. Life as a mother of two is going great. Addie absolutely adores Kimball. She loves to just kiss the top of his head when he is eating. She is always in his face trying to get him to smile. I wouldn't be surprised if his first "real smile" was for Addie. He is a very sweet natured boy and she has been very fun lately as well (with a lot of energy). On the days when I actually get ready, she is my little cheerleader saying "Oh honey, you look so pretty" and gives me a big hug. As soon as she hears the garage door go up, she knows that Ammon is home and she runs and opens the garage door and yells "HI DADDDDY!!! Wanna dance?"
Last week, I was trying to do some canning in between nursing Kimball and feeding Addie lunch when Addie had an accident in her pants (diarrhea) so I went and stuck her in the tub and was still trying to can since I had a pot of boiling water on the stove. I heard Addie trying to tell me something so I went into the bathroom and saw that she had had another accident in the bathtub, (Side note, poop is not fun to clean off bath toys) so I had to take her to our bathtub and finish her bath there. I had to just laugh and thought to myself "this is the beginning" but I was actually surprised because I found it more comical then frustrating. Hopefully, I can keep that humor.
Here is actually a picture of Kimballs eyes open. He is such a cute little guy. I am so in love.
I love this picrutre because you can just imagine what both of them are thinking by the looks on their faces. 
Kimball Vincent Mitchell has finally joined our family. This is the first chance I have had getting on the computer since we have been home. So here is the scoop. On Tuesday the 11th, I went to the doctor to have a fun little procedure done to try to get me going into labor, called "stripping of the membrain." It is not a pleasant experience but it was worth it. That evening around 5pm I started having contractions but they were very irregular. My mom and Valerie dropped by on their way home from the airport and Valerie ended up staying so that if I did go into labor that she could be with Addie. Well, the contractions kept coming and Valerie and I helped them along by doing old Rammette dances in between contractions. It was quite comical. Around 9:00pm we went to the hospital because they were starting to get pretty intense. There is no way I could have done this without Ammon. He was so great and helped me to focus and relax during the contractions and then we would chat inbetween and then would come another contraction. Well around 11:30, I had gone into the bathroom and they suddenly became VERY INTENSE!!!!! I was throwing up and could not focus for the life of me. My midwife came in and I went back to the bed. I never imagined feeling so much pain but luckily my water broke and within about 15 minutes of intense crazy pain, Kimball came. I really didn't think I was going to make it and it was a little scarry because his heart rate went WAY down and when he came out, the cord was wrapped around his neck twice. They delivered him up onto my chest and seeing this little baby laying on me, my heart began to grow. Ammon was crying and I was too tired to do anything but stare at this baby. He is so beautiful! He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz and was born at 12:08am so he is NOT a 9/11 baby. He was 19 inces long with some blonde hair, 10 fingers and 10 toes. 
Addie came to the hospital and just stared at him and smiled. She just had her hand to his face and would put her cheek on his tummy. It was really sweet to watch.
