Kingston Chronicles

We've been going and going and going since Beckett was born so although I've had a lot to blog about and Kingston has been up to a lot these days I haven't really had time! So these pictures are a little out of order but I wanted to give you an update on our Big brother! Last night we went to the Baskin Robbins .31 scoop night in support of the fire department. Kingston had a blast getting in the trucks and wearing the gear. The firemen were awesome and we loved meeting them. We didn't wait in line for the ice cream but we had a blast anyway!

Kingston got in trouble for the first time ever at daycare today for not helping clean up a mess he made. So when he got home he had to help us clean the house. Hopefully he will learn to love cleaning again! Prior to this incident he was the first one to start cleaning up.

Kingston's been spending a lot of time hanging out with Beckett and helping us feed him and soothe him, he loves to hug on him. He's very good to always ask before he touches. He is a great big brother. The other day Beckett was crying and Kingston went running through the house looking for a pacie so he could give it to him. It was a very sweet moment.

Kingston's daycare had Storybook character day the other day and Kingston dressed up like a pirate. He loved dressing up and didn't want to take the costume off.

Here at the Eller house we start them playing corn hole early. We went to our friend Marsha's 30th birthday party and Kingston showed her friend his mad corn hole skills.

My mom and sister came to visit last weekend and my sister brought my youngest nephew Corey. Him and Kingston had a blast. They put on shows for us which we loved to watch.

We went to Crockett Park where my sister took this picture and I had to include it!!

Kingston and Corey playing at the park!

The zip line!

Kingston has been a little trooper since we brought Beckett home. He has his moments that's for sure but for the most part he's been amazing! A little more needy and not quite sure how to share us just yet but we're all learning and he knows we love him and we are willing to do whatever it takes to help him adjust even if that means singing at the top of our lungs, dancing around like fools most nights! He is a cool little dude!

Beckett's Bio-A Birth Story

When I went to my 38 week appointment we decided to go ahead and induce on April 12th. It was a back and forth decision for me because I couldn't decide if this was the right thing to do but I was ready to get rid of this belly and hold my sweet baby Beckett! Even though it was pretty fun to belly bump with :)!

So on April 12th we got up bright and early and said goodbye to this sweet baby and headed to Baptist Hospital to check in at 6:00AM. Oh if he only knew how his life was about to change!

I got my computer set up so I could play on facebook and keep everyone updated the best I could. They started the induction at 6:30AM, my doctor came in to break my water at 8:30 and I got an epidural at 9:30. Everything was going good up until the point where I got my epidural. My blood pressure kept dropping really low (77/55) so they had to keep giving me ephedrine. At 11:30AM the nurse came in and told me we'd have a baby within the hour. I was shocked because again this was a super easy delivery!

Then at 12:39AM Beckett John Eller came into this world weighing 7lbs. 14oz. and measuring 21 inches long after only about 10 minutes of pushing! Daddy got to cut sweet Beckett's cord and he was so excited!

They wrapped him up and handed him to me for our first meeting. I was a little teary but very out of it for the first 30 minutes due to the ephedrine but so excited to meet my little boy!

When I came back to the land of the living I got to feed Beckett his first bottle. He was such a perfect little angel. He had a head full of hair and the sweetest little face. He looks a lot like big brother.

Daddy got the honor of changing the first diaper!

And here's one of the first close of pictures we have of Beckett!

The Grandparents had been waiting all day to get the OK to come visit and they couldn't wait to meet little Beckett! They fell in love with him just as fast as we did!

But the best meeting of all was when Big Brother met Little Brother. It was one of those moments I will remember forever. I would have stopped time at that exact moment if I could have and enjoyed it for as long as I could. The look on Kingston's face was priceless! He was already an amazing Bubba!

Beckett's birthday was perfect and all the worries I had about not loving him as much as I did Kingston faded the moment I laid eyes on Beckett. I love him so much. Not more or less than Kingston just the same only different. I know it sounds weird but it's true. I can't put it into words. He is already such a part of our family. He has always belonged here. He's always been a member of our family we've just been waiting on him to arrive. It is absolutely wonderful to be an Eller!
