Krew has been a little fussier than my others in his first two months, he only wakes up 1- 2 x's a night. He started kicking a lot at 6 weeks and a few smiles at 2 months. Now that he's 2 1/2 months he is giving lots of smiles and coo's he is very strong holding his head up and standing. I can tell he loves to stand and is proud of himself. He likes to face out, and be rocked. I realized he likes to sleep on his tummy, my first to sleep on his tummy. And he is sleeping throught the night  now!! He loves to kick and splash in tub. He sucks on the binky and takes a bottle of formula here and there so momma can do hair or go to the temple :) 

3 months- rolled over just before 3 months, he is very smiley. Fussy and constipated when I eat chocolate.. So I cut that out of my diet. It's pretty easy to get him to smile now. He sticks his tongue out a lot when he's happy. And opens his jaw, with a smile over and over with no sound. It's real cute. 

Krew is sitting up now at 5 1/2 months but still falls sometimes. He is also getting up on his hands and knees,  rocking back and forth. Last week he climbed out of his bumbo, luckily Brandon was right there to catch him. He's a little daredevil. Loves to be thrown in the air tipped backwards. Likes it when the kids climb on and wrestle him. He still loves to stand and likes to hang out in his doorway jumper although he doesn't bounce much he loves he can stand in it. He is a very happy baby. Takes a bottle occasionally but will usually just wait till he can nurse without to much fuss. He is waking up 1-2xs a night. He is now eating rice cereal and loves it. He did so well his first time and ate more than I expected. Krew started crawling at 6 1/2 months. Feb. 22nd... His front 2 bottom teeth came in at 7 months March 11th. Krew has been putting everything straight into his mouth. I've found a sticker or thin starburst wrapper in his poop, but today was a foam earplug! I couldn't believe it. So glad that made it down okay. Crazy kid! Krew just turned 10 months.. And started standing on his own just 2 days before. Right in the middle of the floor. He also took about 2-3 steps.

He is such a good baby. He goes to anyone, anytime. Started finger foods about 9 months and he loves it. Drinks water from his bottle.still prefers sleeping on his tummy, but wakes momma 2xs a night to eat still. He started giving great kisses a few weeks ago when I pucker up and ask for kisses. I love that he cuddles into us and tucks his arms to his sides, fully trusting and soaking it all in.

That's the way he sleeps as well. He hates crawling on the tile and has gotten pretty quick at his bear crawl. He literally puts everything straight to his mouth. His favorite thing to chew would be the nerf gun bullets.not a day goes by I don't find him chewing one. He loves to play in the dishwasher as I load it, take all the silver wear out. His absolute favorite would be Bella's dog food. Stirs it tips it, eats it. Ya its a mess. 

Krew is now 15 months. He says mom and momma, dada, Bella, ball, bye bye, hi, more, I love you.. and is starting to repeat a lot of words we say. He has become the biggest cuddle bug. Loves to sit on everyone's lap, give kisses, high fives, and squish his little cheeks against yours. He always wraps his little arms around my neck and plays with my hair as I rock him to sleep. He weened from nursing about a month ago. We are thankful for the food pouches since he doesn't care for cows milk and it's so convenient. 

Krew's Birth

I woke up yesterday feeling anxious for my baby, but scared of labor. I told Brandon I thought that's why he may not be coming.. I know that can keep you from going into labor. And I didn't want it to effect me during labor either. So he then gave me my 2nd priesthood blessing this week. I felt so much better and labor began about 2 hrs later. We waited it out for about 2 hrs to make sure this was really it. Contractions 10 min apart and super strong. We told everyone at 8 min apart.  Brynlee took a nap and Trent got the kids when she woke up. They were now about 5 min apart. I tried to find the most comfortable postions to deal with my contractions while Brandon got everything situated. I found it more comfortable standing or sitting on my yoga ball as I leaned on Brandon. It felt best to rock side to side. So I had to joke, it's one of the only times I can get him to slow dance with me ;) Contractions got closer 3 and 4 min apart so I called Tiffanie. I was fine between so she sent Michelle her assistant. We told our moms to come now to. As I started to get shakey between I let Tiffanie know and she was then on her way as well. They all showed up fairly the same time. My grandma and sister I'm law Amber couldnt help but be a part. So they showed up unexpectedly, And our dads waited down stairs. My contractions were now 2 1/2 min apart and getting stronger. I decided to move to my bath tub. And once I was in there I knew that's where I would stay. Besides a few trips to the toilet. The heat helped so much! My tub is only so big, so I laid a rag on my tummy and Brandon kept pouring the water to keep it warm. The pain was getting stronger and I started taking breathing deeply to help. I knew I had to stop joking and talking in between. I now had to focus on my hypno birthing. I listened to the words/ music and brought myself into a deep relaxation. I brought myself so deep and the contractions became bearable again. I was no longer breathing hard. Just completely calm. Brandon thought labor had stopped, it was as if I was sleeping. My mom was worried I was to relaxed that I wouldn't progress. And I started to even psych myself out, because I should be in more pain then before. The mind is so powerful! I was in the tub probably an hr and a half. Brandon stuck by me pouring water consistently. Getting me fruit and water to drink. Tiffanie kept checking on the baby. She asked if I was ready to get up and pee. I started to move but got to scared I'd lose my concentration and have to face the pain. I stayed put. Brandon told me it was important I get up. So he helped me to the toilet. After I went I knew my water was close to breaking. I stood up for a contraction while he held me...and sat between. After a few times and gently pushing. It broke into the toilet. I immidiately started a contraction but knew I had to get to the tub, he was coming! So They slowly walked me over and helped me climb back in the tub and I laid down. I started to push a little, Tiffanie reminded me to push slowly. So I just nudged him down. I felt down and could feel his head full of hair was coming out. His head was out for a moment.. Then a few more nudges and Brandon caught his perfect little body. He then laid him on me, it was Amazing! Nothing is more empowering than growing and birthing a child. And nothing tops having these little angels enter your life. He is so perfect in every way. I'm so greatful he is healthy and everything went so smoothly. What an amazing experience!  Baby Krew Calvin Tippetts entered the world at 9:07 pm after 10 hrs of labor. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. 

Pregnancy with Krew

I found out I was pregnant December 1st 2013 with baby #3! I did end up getting more nauseous this pregnancy than with my others but never threw up and that was over by 13 weeks. I tried to go to Zumba a couple times but I was getting to many cramps it scared me. I rode the bike and did a few workouts here and there but overall I really hardly worked out. I was alittle scared to be put on bed rest throughout my whole pregnancy. But thank goodness I never got put on. And I only delt with my sciatic nerve a little here and there. Unlike my first pregnancy. It could be the fact the witch doctor said he moved my uterus when I went in for jaw pain. And mentioned my nerve. I was Definately tired my 1st and 3rd trimester. And now at the end I've been pretty uncomfortable sleeping. My hips start to hurt and I have to switch sides. I keep ending up on my back which is weird because I always sleep on my side. I started out 118 lbs and am now 158. I gained a lot at first then stayed the same for a while, then gained more this past month. Overall about 40lbs. Yesterday Tammy amber and Adri deep cleaned and watched my kids while my mom took me for a mani/ pedi. I am officially ready for Krew to get here. I have less than 2 weeks till his due date. Can't wait to meet him :)
