The joys of motherhood:)

So i have had a wonderful few days. We stayed at my sisters house Friday and played with them, which was really fun. Carley and Jacob came and played with us on Friday and we had a blast! BUT while I was at my moms Friday afternoon, I tried to out Levi down for a nap and a little while later I heard a knocking on is door...to my surprise he had crawled out of the porta-crib!!! He has never dont that so I was a little freaked out. So we had fun trying to get him to sleep at Chelsea's house... I thought that would be the worst of it but this morning I knocking on his bedroom door. He had crawled out of his crib!! I did not think he could do that too!!! So I have been trying to get myself together to decide when we will have to do the transition to a big boy bed. That makes me nervous. But I think we will do it in a few weeks and see how this whole climbing thing goes for now. 


Also, we got home last night and Luke has been so ornery and fussing a lot. I thought it was just his big fat top tooth that has just poked through, but I looked in his mouth and found that his third tooth on the bottom just poked through too!! WTF I thought that the bottom 2 came in, then the top 2 , then work on the others a few months down the road. At least that is what Levi did and what I have read online. But no...I guess all babies are different and you cant always believe what you read online. So now that I am looking more in his mouth it looks swollen all over. I wouldnt be surprised if all his teeth poke through all at once, That is how fussy he is. Poor guy. 

While we are at the Hellstroms, Chelsea and I took our 3 babies swimming at a Rec center by her house. We were so excited! We got all the floaties blown up, all the kids dressed and happy. We get in the water and planned that one of us would float with the babies  while the other chased Levi. As soon as we got in the water, the life guard comes over and tells us we cant have floaties! They apparently are a hazard (funny because I thought they were a safety precaution)  So we had to have one of us HOLD the babies while the other chased Levi, who was way more crazy than i thought he would be. All in all it was madness but we had a lot of fun! Levi had so much fun and we are way excited to take them swimming all summer, and hopefully getting the hubbies out there with us!

So last night my sister-in-law had her baby! She was 3 days overdue and had been having contractions for like a week but wasn't dilating, so finally she got to the hospital and she had him around 4:30 this morning! We went and daw them today and he is so cute! Dark black hair, strong features. He is adorable. Jude is what they named him. Dustin and Carolina and just like deer in headlights. It is so hard to have a first baby, you dont know what to do! Like, ok he is here; now what? I remember that feeling like it was yesterday! We are so excited to have another boy on the Johnson/Bastian side!

That's SO what I'm going to be like: deer in the headlights. I've been thinking about so many scenarios that could take place and what I would do in which. Basically, I come up blank on each one, and I have to call my mom!

You look like you're such a great mom! I wish we were closer and could catch up!
