THere's something about Jane

I know I'm biased but Jane is such a cute little baby and maintains her babyness on a daily basis. All the other babies born in out ward that week (count 4) all weigh like 10 lbs while Janey is still in the 6 lbs region soaking wet. The little things that bring so much joy into our lives are:
- She is always doing things with her hands. I know she has no ideas how to control them because they flail around constantly which can cause problems when she sucking on her soothie because she's upset and she's upset because she knocks out her soothie (a vicious cycle I know) I usually will just have to be really close to put it back in her mouth every 30 seconds but when I'm busy I resort to what Ashley considers cruel methods debilitating her hands by pulling her pants up really high and sticking her hands inside on her legs, to name an example.
-Jane is loves to swing and would stay there all day if it weren't for our fear of giving her brain damage. (once again if she needs her soothie we have to swaddle her to keep her from making herself frustrated.
-Jane has increasingly made the most lady like little grunts in her sleep and while eating.
-Jane loves to wait till its quiet in church to pinch a loaf (which can last about 15 seconds straight without losing any intensity) this is also one of the few moments she combines smiley faces and grunting sounds.
-If she's upset and we're too tired to entertain her Jane is more than content to sleep on my chest.
-Tummy time has been a display of comedy as Jane gets tired from lifting her gargantuan noggin so she's kick with her legs and arms performing what they call in the professional wrestling world as the coffee grinder on her cheek. Eventually her feet won't slip and she'll manage to roll onto her side which is a great moment to fall asleep from the recent exertions on her body.
-She has also acquired a king fu death grip. The girl will latch onto things and not let go especially if its her face. So we constantly check her finger nails so she doesn't get lacerations all over her face.

We like other things too but that's enough for a post.

wayyy over due!!!

Today is my due date!!! happy due date to me!!! I can't believe Jane was not supposed to be here until today and she is already 5 weeks old!!! We are so happy she is here, everyday just gets better and better.... (still no sleep though) but she is just the best!!


I guess I can take the ticker off now.... I had to at least see my little ticker baby to the end...

Westside Till I Die!!!

Janey has been inducted into the Westside connection they call her G-Baby

Jane's One month!!

My mom made me wear this stupid hat and I lack the motor skills to show her what I really think, so I think I'll just shoot myself instead

So much exitement that I couldn't hold it in

Grandma to the rescue!!

I love these pics of Grandma and Janey!! We were so LUCKY to have Grandma Frandsen come to visit and meet our new little addition!! We were so glad to have her here for a week!! I got to sleep, she cooked YUMMY food and helped us clean and run errands and even stalked our house with useful baby and houselhold items and even sucked the snot outta Janey's nose!! I felt bad because it wasn't your typical trip to Hawaii but we really appreciatted the help!! Also, Janey loved Grandma she was very comfortable in Grandma's arms... I think it was because she was so calm and not as frazzled as her "new mommy"!! THANK YOU SOOOOO GRANDMA FRANDSEN FOR EVERYTHING... Janey misses you already!!!

Baby Shower!!!

Oh the baby shower stories... so there were lots of kind people who tired to throw me a baby shower but due to crazy weather and this nutty pregnancy things did not go as planned... thank you to Tiffani, Sue, Jenny and Kristen who tried to throw me a shower at home but due to the crazy weather during Christmas time we got snowed in!! Then my co-workers tried to throw me a shower but I went into Labor the day before instead!!! (Janey had other plans!) But my co-worker Sonny was so very kind and met Brandon in Pearl City and filled our car full of gifts while I was still in the hospital!!! Thank you to all the wonderful people I work with!! Then Annette and Alysha my good firends here in Laie were planning a shower for me before I went into Labor and were kindo f enough to still throw it after Janey was born...So Janey got to go to her own baby shower on the outside of my belly!! Thank you to all that came, I know everyone in the ward is probably really showered out with all the new babies in the ward, so I really appreciatte it!! Everyone was so generous and I had a blast watching everyone play the funny games!!! Janey had a great time as well, thanks to Erika for holding her during the shower!!

Aunty Shirley and Uncle Rex!!

I am very lucky to have an Aunt and Uncle that live in Mililani!! They came to see Janey recently and showered her with Gifts!! Thanks so much Aunt Shirley and Uncle Rex!!! As you can clearly see Janey was very excited to see them as were we!!!

Our little strawberry shortcake!!

Jany's hair keeps get more and more RED!!! and I LOVE it!!!

More pictures of our growing girl

notice how her mother taught her how to flip the bird

Janey's Bling.

I am so Embarrased!!!

I just have to share this funny story about Brandon.... Well, Brandon likes to hold Jane on his chest in Bed until she falls asleep and then he will get up and put her in her pack n' play. Well the other night Brandon woke me up at 4:30 in the am and asked if I would put Jane back in the pack n' play since he was done holding her. I got up and turned to Brandon to pick Jane up to put her back and did not see her anywhere on the bed.... SO, I checked the pack n' play and sure enough there she was in her bed snug as a bug in a rug! I came back to bed and discovered Brandon hugging a pillow on his chest... and quickly figured out that Brandon thought the pillow was Jane. When I informed him that Jane was in her bed he looked at the pillow he was so sweetly holding and then looked at me and said " I am so embarresed!!" and then fell back asleep. Well I laughed myself back to sleep and when I asked Brandon about it the next day he had no idea what I was talking about.... SO CUTE AND FUNNY!!!

TWO WEEKS!!

Janey is two weeks already.... Alysha made the comment that she doesn't look like a "newborn" anymore, I laughed and agreed and then went into my room and cried... she still is really small... but I can see her getting bigger everyday!! Grandparents hurry and come now before she is walking and talking!! anways.... HAPPY TWO WEEKS JANEY-LOVE!!

Jane is starting to wake up!!!

Our little monkey doll

Her eyes are starting to get some color

Happy Birthday MON!!!!

A little shout out to Monica the best roommate, friend and soon to be mommy EVER!!!!!

More pictures of Jane (get used to it)

Our little munchkin is getting to have a personality we catch her making the funniest faces when she is getting tired and she randomly smiles in her sleep like she remembers something so funny. She loves to squirm around, sleep on her dad and be held by anyone. Today one of her new friends Cierra got to see her for the first time in person and said that she appeared even smaller than she does in pictures. Jane's other good friend Alysha calls her Girlfriend, a nickname Jane has taken a liking to. Janes Jaundice is just about gone and we don't have to put her under the light of get her heel poked and squeezed for blood, something her mom can't bear to watch and one of the only things that makes our daughter cry (the other things are bears (like her dad) and baths) but this morning Jane didn't even bother waking up while getting her blood drawn so I guess it couldn't have been that bad after all. We have finally got everything we need thanks to Internet shopping the packn'play was such a great idea (thanks mom) and her stroller looks like something X zibit would have rolled out in Pimp my ride. Our little bundle of joy has been the perfect baby our favorite things about her is her small size (ashley) and her babyness (me) (except for what she did to mommy in the womb, she will be punished for that as soon as I can think of the proper sentencing).

PS

apparently Ashley doesn't find it very accurate or amusing when I compair my aches and pains both physical and emotional to giving birth, but what does she know she doesn't have any idea how I'm feeling.

Girlfriend
