Jaeden, Jayce and Jaxon

Waiting to leave the hospital....


Finally, leaving at 9:30 pm 10-18-09, after waiting all day for my Rhogam shot...

Our first day at home, 10-19-09...


Jaxon was by far the easiest in this photo shoot!! 10-20-09

Quote of the Month...

I'm never quite sure what Jaeden's thinking, but one morning his comment was...
"The Holy Ghost is like a toot." My response was, "how's that?" He instantly stated, "because you can't see the holy ghost and you can't see a toot." I did complete his thought by saying he was right, while you can't see either, you can feel both.

Also, the week before Jaxon was born we were discussing how to get him out. Jaeden's idea was to break my whole body and break the stomach, and then he would come out. His exact words were pretty comical.

Baby Poll Winner(s).....

Congrats to Papa Mittelstaedt for correctly choosing the day and sex, and to Jaeden for picking the correct day. Earlier this week Jaeden told us "the baby's coming on the 17th." He must have remembered the date he chose; otherwise, we're not sure why he said that.

The ironic thing is that for Jayce, Grandpa Jorgy chose the right date and sex, and we named him Jayce Arthur. And this time Papa Mittelstaedt was correct, and we named him Jaxon Rod.

Jaxon is now the 7th grandson on both sides of the family. At least the Jorgensen's have 2 granddaughters, but we're still waiting for a girl to appear on our side.

Welcome Baby Jaxon!

We were so excited to welcome our third boy - Baby Jaxon Rod Jorgensen at 6:33 AM, October 17, 2009. He weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and 21 1/4 inches. So far he has been pretty mellow, but I'm sure things will change as he hangs out with his older brothers. He's been the heaviest and hairiest of all the boys.

Waiting in the triage room.


Not even 2 hours old and already getting into mischief.

Me and the boys

Jaeden loves holding Jaxon, and really wants to get up and walk with him.

Quote of the Day...

Jaeden: "Jayce, Zachary is not a baseball." The boys were play fighting and swinging their new dragon toys (that look like rubber snakes). Jayce kept aiming for Zachary's head, even though heads were off limits.

All we heard from Jayce during their play fighting was... "I'm going to knock you to the ground." And he would take off charging.

Quote of the Day... chicken and bugs

Jaeden: "I don't have the chicken flu." This statement came after fussing at him for the millionth time that we don't put things in our mouth. We were shoppping at Sam's, and he put the buckle from the child safety belt in his mouth. I don't know why he still puts everything in his mouth. He's much worse than Jayce. He recently had his 4 year old well check, and he unfortunately suffered thru 4 shots. They were out of the flu vaccine, but he always wants to know the names of the other vaccines. He just remembers the chicken pox/varicella vaccine. I think that's how he came up with chicken flu.

Jayce loves bugs, and he is our resident bug picker upper. If there is a mention of a dead bug (most likely an ugly bug, aka roach, or as jayce says "cock-a-roach") He instantly runs to get a kleenex, so he can be the one to pick it up. It's great for me, who hates picking up bugs. I merely supervise, or make Joel supervise the bug picking up when he's home.

Several months ago, we had a week where we found a dead bug in the kitchen near the boys chairs several mornings in a row. Mostly likely because I don't sweep EVERYday. (fortunately they were all dead since we've sprayed inside and outside the house.) Anyways, Jaeden had the idea to leave a piece of celery for the bugs. A couple days later, he was very excited because he thought the bugs had eaten the celery. He didn't realize after 2 days, celery withers and browns making it unrecognizable for him. At least I was able to throw it away at that point. Jayce learned from this adventure that all food that goes on the floor is for bugs. He frequently asks if he can feed the bugs, when he wants to get rid of food. Or if he accidently drops a piece, he instantly says, "It's for the bugs" It's pretty funny, that he always trying to feed his beloved bugs.

Baby Poll Calendar

So, I posted the info we gathered for predicting when the next baby jorgensen will arrive. As you can see, I plan to have this baby in one week!! I've been very active, and trying to stand and walk most of the day to encourage the baby to arrive. (A trip to the zoo friday, shopping and the boys preschool carnival saturday, and housework all day today, moving small furniture in the nursery tomorrow, Old MacDonald's Farm wed with the boys, work on thurs... and I keep telling Joel I'm mowing the lawn on Monday (the 12th). It's 65% boy and 35% girl, but 2 of the girl votes are from Jaeden and Jayce who want a baby sister. If anyone else, would like to enter the poll just leave me a comment and I'll enter you in. You can only have 2 on one date, and one must have boy, the other girl. (exception for the grandmas that picked the same date) The Glorious prize..... the pride in knowing you picked correctly!!! :)

Things the boys say...

Jayce: "Open your belly." translation - lift up your shirt so I can play/poke/sing at your belly/baby. Earlier today, he played construction on the belly using a saw, hammer and drill. Fortunately he's learned to be gentle. This is a fun activity at home, but he tends to say it everywhere we go, but luckily my shirt has only been lifted up at home. Jaeden on the other hand does not usually like to see my belly and is always trying to close the shirt.

Jaeden: "Jaeden would like..." "Jaeden told Jayce to ..." " Jaeden...." yes, for the last 2 weeks, he has decided to speak in third person. we're not sure where this came from, but it keeps us laughing.

One of Jayce's favorite activities is to fall from standing straight to the ground. He goes from vertical to horizontal without bending anything. I'm really not sure what hits first. Occasionally, it's his hands, but he looks more like a belly flop on the ground. yesterday, he decided to a belly flop from his stool (which is only about 8 inches high) but he was standing on the stool, and the next thing we knew he was lying on the ground. Only once did he hit his nose, but it didn't stop him from doing it again.

Jaeden's current favorite song is "the little drummer boy" I'm not sure how we started listening to that, but that's all he wants to hear in the car. I know for Joel's family it's a felony to listen to any christmas music before thanksgiving, but i don't mind hearing xmas music in sept or oct. and we rarely hear anything but "the little drummer boy." Jayce's choice is always "mamma mia" or "super trouper" which jaeden can sing almost both entire songs. his music memory is amazing.
